View source for Worlds of Myth RPG/Operation: Coldblood/Recaps/Session 15

With [[../../../Operation: Hotblood/Characters/Anton Kabanen|Evil Santa]] now actually evil, the group approaches [[../../../Operation: Hotblood/World/Vaticity|Vaticity]], and they all go under disguise to get through a series of roadblocks. A roadblock officer looks through the folks on the bus, and [[../../Characters/Lassiter Lightfoot|Lassiter]] pickpockets him. They get waved through the checkpoint, and then [[../../Characters/Alistar|Alistar]] seizes [[../../Characters/Darkedge|Darkedge]]'s collar to get the illusion dropped. Darkedge had made him as ugly as he could imagine.

They arrive in a safe area and start to regroup. [[../../Characters/Oscar|Oz]] looks up some data: [[../../Characters/The Cyberpope|Titus Optus Octavius]] has been Cyberpope for 117 years, and until recently, his rule has been largely without controversy. They work out that they need to replace said Cyberpope with [[../../Characters/Barnabus|Barnabus]] to protect the continued existence of the technomancer edgelords, so they need to get in touch with the [[../../Characters/Zion Insurgency|Zion Insurgency]] to get access. To do that, they need to earn some "street cred". So after Darkedge gets the pickpocketed wallet and keys from the checkpoint officer, they split up in pairs - [[../../Characters/Lily|Lily]] with Oz, Alistar with [[../../Characters/Peanut|Peanut]], and Darkedge with Lassiter and Barnabus. While the other groups wander aimlessly, the group with Barnabus follows him as he sets off in a definite direction - they are the ones to discover sounds of conflict, and move closer to it. Lassiter moves into the middle of the conflict, while the other two watch from the sidelines. "Which of you are the Zion group?" Darkedge immediately calls the rest of the group to join them and provide backup. They do manage to get in touch with one of the Zion Insurgents. Darkedge and Barnabus go inside while Lassiter stays outside to distract local law enforcement, along with the rest of the group, who are responding to Darkedge's call.

The law enforcement agents attempt to cuff Lassiter, who lucks out of it, and then switches to berserker mode.

* A helidrone attacks Oz, but Alistar swaps places with him to take the hits
* A second helidrone attacks where Alistar used to be, and Oz blocks all but one hit
* Peanut runs into the battle, grabs a drone with her tongue, and tosses it down the street through a crowd of people

* Oz tasks Peanut with attacking the sole remaining clergy, while he focuses on the drones
* The sole surviving drone attacks Oz, who dodges by dancing
* Peanut "assaults the priest", eating him
* Lily helps Alistar to the ground safely again, then attacks the remaining law enforcement folks
* The two remaining law enforcers attack Lassiter, but he blocks both
* Lassiter attacks them both, killing them
* Alistar powers up, with a boost from Oz, then attacks the drone from the ground
* Oz fires his Myth ray at the drone, taking it out

Meanwhile, inside, Darkedge and Barnabus start to converse with the Zion leader about taking down the Cyberpope. Darkedge gathers as much intel as possible from them before the exploding drone catches everyone's attention and they go outside. Darkedge introduces the rest of the group. The Zion leader finally introduces herself as [[../../Characters/Cassandra|Cassandra]], and then they head off to the secret Zion HQ to regroup and get the latest intel.
