Let's see how long you kiddies last...<br/>You’ve all been through your fair share of trials up to this point, whether individually or as a group, but finally, things seem to be changing for the better. At least, so it seems. I mean let's face it: $20,000 Creds each to sneak into a Mining Station and steal some hidden item there? This one's too good to be true... Still, whether it’s the rumble in your stomach or desire to have a better life, you all decide this is a risk that you’re willing to take. Besides, you could use the extra cash to help pay off the ship you all went in on. The bill's coming due next week and, as Sarah<em>tried</em>to warn you: "You don't wanna piss off the Snake Skinners." Better get this done quick before you all become the Snake in their namesake.<br/><br/>You review the instructions for the mission. They seemed simple enough.<br/>Part A was a set of coordinates about a week’s flight away with images of a Mining Station you’ve never seen before in a part of the galaxy rarely travelled.<br/>Part B were more coordinates and images of an active mining site. One of the images was an X-ray of the structure’s interior and an “X Marks The Spot” Somewhere deep within.<br/>Part C contained the coordinates to Ithaka Sky docks; a familiar place you’ve either heard of or been to in your past. Images of a common Speakeasy was labelled “Drop Point and $20,000 Creds.”<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Quick Shots</strong><br/>You arrived at the Syriuk Mining Station some time ago; the S.S Deep Probe, sliding into orbit over Syriuk 4. You're not the only ship out here, either. A small number of contract scrapers hover about. A child could have pretended to be “just another scrapper crew", so don't give yourself too much credit, Jasper: it wasn't that cleaver. Luckily Dallas was able to smooth over one of the guards at the security checkpoint, which made the lie a little more digestible. They're probably still gonna run your plates, though. Better make this quick. Heh... Quick... get it... 'cuz... your names? Well I thought it was funny...<br/><br/><em>Anyway,</em><br/><br/>Now that you've got you access to the station, you just have to figure out what to do next. The station itself is nestled within a pretty large quarry on the exoplanets surface. Gravity here is a little wonky. Good thing most mining is done indoors. Luckily for you that's where the target is. Unluckily however, there are a lot of armed guards around making sure you scrapers don't get too deep into the buildings central mining dock, which, surprise surprise, is exactly where you need to be to find whatever it is you need to find. Its hard to say exactly how many guards are around, but it looks like there's another checkpoint to gain access into the building; only two are stationed there. They seem to be letting everyone else with a shovel and a drill in. Why not give it a go?<br/><br/>Whoever sent you here was kind enough to give you a layout of the building. It was large and filled with a bunch of smaller, interior mining sites, but you only needed to get to the bottom floor. There, a restricted access passageway would lead you to the central mining chute, which seems to be a big hole in the ground for digging up something a little more valuable than the scrap metals everyone else is here for. No wonder they're tryna keep people out.<br/><br/>The way I see it, you've got too options:<br/><br/>A: bust your way through the front doors, blasters blazing in some real balls-to-the-wall action sequence to the core of the station.<br/><br/><em>OR</em><br/><br/>B: sneak around quietly through the back, hack a couple access codes, and be in and out before they even know you butt-fucked them.<br/><br/>You'll probably all get killed either way. Plus there's always the extra danger that you're not the only ones trying to steal the secret goods. Eh, oh well. Hurry up and die so I can move on to something more interesting, like watching a star explode. Now THAT'S entertainment.<br/><br/>Anyway, A or B?<br/><br/><em>Which Do You Choose?</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">You can all play out your vote here as well as construct a plan of action.
