Operation Neon Tiger - episode 07

Intro

Fashas'di stepped outside, under the hot rays of Varuna's sun. The beach was warm, inviting. "How fascinating - he thought - we and the humans have the same idea of paradise." An artificial reef isolated the Trillionaire Varuna Beach Resort from the depths of the planet's oceans, while lush vegetation imported from Concilium and Paradiso surrounded the buildings. Apparently, the plant selection was dictated by the original patron of the Resort himself: Batth'o Ubelin. 

Shasvastii intelligence had advised Fashas'di that the resort wouldn't be heavily guarded, making it the perfect stop for the Casta Diva to refuel and prepare for the long journey following the xeno archeotech's indications. What the intel didn't know was that a Tunguska intervention team had been sent in advance to welcome the Casta Diva and its occupants: it was a bold move to make such an intrusion on PanOceanian soil but, after what had happened to Módulo Satélite, Philomena was ready to cross any line to repel the aliens. 

The ballad of Ba Fashas, a Durgama Takeover story

 

The Phase Two of Durgama Takeover is still raging but, unfortunately, I won't be able to play in the upcoming days. Therefore, this campaign ends now for me but I can't say it's really over until I stitch together the story I told thorugh my reports and I get to describe how much of a positive experience it has been for me, so here I am.

To be part of an active community playing and telling stories about a shared universe is a privilged experience which I could not have experienced this time, due to seasonal issues, without the help of TTS (TableTop Simulator) and the wonderful addons provided by the online Infinity Community, especially THE main mod, 3D Infinity miniatures project and Badlazzor's Infinity Maps.

I got to play three games: two with Lockdownit_, a great player & fun guy who also recorded one of said matches on Twitch, and one with butchee, my "everyday" opponent.

As the title suggests, I also spent a lot of time telling the story of my Commander - tying togheter the three games. Here, you can read the whole thing with links to my battle reports.

Operation Neon Tiger - episode 06

 Intro 

- Making business with you is a pleasure: my affiliates have just informed me that they have been granted access to the Casta Diva. 

The smuggler smiled back. 

- The pleasure is mine, Lely Ohw. These are trying times for business at Hlökk Station: first those Minescorp goons, now the aliens...I guess faces come and go but war never changes. Anyway, this deal is really something to celebrate with a toast: to the Casta Diva, the most beautiful ship on this side of the Brísingamen’s rim. 

Lely Ohw lifted his glass full of cloudy Nomad's liquor, distillated somewhere in the depths of space by wandering scalpers. Suddenly, Fashas'di's voice broke into his communication device: 

- The Nomads are on us! We have to engage them immediately and wipe them out without a trace: no one must know we're leaving Hlökk Station on board of the Casta Diva. Close our transaction, fast!
