No Surrender
Narrating text:
As the door of the boarding vessel closes behind youa and creates a complete seal,
the noises of the boarding hall fade to near silence. Seconds pass, and the red
lights come on. Yet more time passes like this, and a few of your comrades cough
nervously. And then, without warning, you can hear what must be a huge boom, though
you cannot hear it very well, as the walls of the boarding craft muffle it. After
this, the craft is submerged in complete silence, as the void envelopes it. The
only sounds you can hear now are the soft buzzing of on-board equipment, and the
hearts of your comrades beating faster than usual. Or is that your own?
At this point, ask for a Tactica Imperialis or other check from the Sergeant.
Depending on the roll, suggest encouraging his troops with variously spesific ways.
After quite a while, you hear the point defence systems of the boarding torpedo
come to life. Indeed, through the small slits of glass on the sides, you can see
various projectiles whizz past the torpedo, each carrying the potential of cutting
your existence short. You all know the moment to be close.
Moments pass, and then, a near deafening noise envelopes your ears, as the boarding
torpedo strikes the orbital station. After that, the moment of truth. The sidedoors
of the craft open, and the noises of the raging battle become your world.
After this, run the adventure as normal from the moment of arrival onto the
battlefield.
