He remains undetected and appears to cause a massive cascade failure. Alarms shriek, warning of imminent core containment failure. All hands are warned to evacuate.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8216;exfiltration&#8217; team made up of Ella, Buck and Aris &#8216;borrow&#8217; the system defense boat and launch, hoping to hook up with the &#8216;rescue&#8217; team on the medical deck; simultaneously, the &#8216;rescue&#8217; team (Haank, Eddy &amp; Sae &#8230; plus the unconscious <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Ibrahim_Nouri-Abbood\">Ibrahim<\/a>) opt to get off the station via an escape pod.

Three of these fighters angle sharply toward the system defense boat, las-guns flashing. A fierce lightfight ensues, leaving the three fighters destroyed and the SDB lightly damaged.<\/li>\n<li>The crew are able to deduce the destination of the gig: a jump system grav-anchored alongside an icy planetesimal. Recognizing their only way out of system, Ella aims toward it as well and a race is on! The three fighters then move to engage the SDB while the gig continues to burn hard toward the jump shuttle.<\/li>\n<li>Two of the fighters are destroyed and, when Eddy&#8217;s attempts to talk the gig into surrendering fails, it too is shot down.<\/li>\n<li>A strike carrier arrives in-system during the fight, commanded by <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.olympusrpg.org\/index.php?title=Henrii_Gloval\">Admiral Gloval<\/a>, much to everyone&#8217;s surprise. The crew then realize that far more time has passed than the two or so days they&#8217;ve experienced.

I made a couple of mistakes along the way, but that&#8217;s par for the course. I also introduced a spaceships range band chart that was heavily influenced by the starship range chart thing in the first d20 Star Wars RPG (which, ironically, I hated at the time because I was so accustomed to actually using miniatures for everything.) We then used some modified Chase rules that I sort of hashed out before the case for the race. I&#8217;m thinking of\u00a0 trying to rewrite them and maybe submit them to\u00a0<em>Pyramid\u00a0<\/em>magazine&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>This completes Season 4, Adventure 1: Crucible.<\/li>\n<li>Since we\u2019re livestreaming our games every Saturdays (6:00PM Eastern) at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/theronnke\">Ronnke\u2019s Twitch<\/a> channel and then later uploading the stream on the YouTube channel, we\u2019ve decided to dial back on the extensiveness of the recap to just the overall outline..<!--Precis - Fifth episode of the fourth \u201cseason\u201d for our ongoing GURPS: Traveller campaign and conclusion of the first adventure in this run.
