In the year 2034...
Mining can be dangerous, being crushed, suffocated, or trapped and starved to death are only the usual risks. You could also be redirected into the sewer and drowned, shot by other rogue miners, or eaten alive by monsters from the depths. But they pay is good, the right merchants will pay handsomely for minerals or metals, and the wrong merchants will pay the gear you steal from other miners.

I run to find some dead cop's body, all while keeping my eyes peeled for Merrin. Hopefully I can find some handcuff keys on the corpse.

"Um...I'll just put down that you had a concussion or something."
The medic tells you. "Because we need you to lead us into the building safely."
That said he leads you out side where a assault-team of about 8 are waiting.
"Alright," says the leader of the group, a spindly man with a particularly gristley looking face "Are there any risks or hostile forces inside that we should know about?"

You seem to have forgotten to buy any starter kit, so if you wouldn't mind go back to page 1 and do so.

You soon come upon a felled cop, and he has some keys, unlocking cuffs you are currently wearing proves to be fairly difficult but you manage to free yourself, at the forfeit of a pulled muscle. On the dead cops person you also find a clip of bullets for your Gorgon and a .50 caliber handgun.

I explain what I've seen. "The risks and plainly self defensive creatures seemed to be in equal parts. Please try the diplomatic approach before shooting a talking lump of flesh or your gun slinging white entity." Ilden looked at his barb-spitter remorsefully.

Pulling the gag from my mouth, I rejoice at the new found weapon and my hands being freed. I pop the gas mask on and join the side of the rebels, returning fire at my previous captors. With a wicked grin I shout, "Kill all fascists!" at the top of my lungs.

The team nod, before checking there weapons. They have a fairly unusual set of side-arms, some hold high-tech revolver, one of them even has an old Parabellum-pistol!
They move to the doors of the elevator and one forces the door open with a crow-bar.
After leaving the elevator you and the strike-team come upon the chaos of two security bots retired by a mad man with a magnum.
Several members of the team tsk, tsk, and shake there heads sadly.
As they pass the wrecked bots and approach the hall you hear several loud metallic scraping noises.

As you call out a blue-jacket left-hooks you in the face, before drawing a un-loaded shotgun, holding it defensively like a club.
As he engages you you catch a glimpse of Merrin over his shoulder. lying over the ground with a man in a medical coat standing over him.

I test my new gun on the policeman aiming to put a slug between his eyes.

As you pull the trigger there is a bark of retort from the 25mm pistol and the mans head snaps back, he stands there for a second, fragments of glass raining down from his visor, before toppling, stiff as a board.

You enter an old tin mine, via a converted out-house and find yourself in a large locker room. A tired looking clerk tells you that there's a ladder going down at the end of the room.

"Whats that?" Ilden asked jumpy. "Can I have some Ammo?"

"Works like a charm," I run over to Merrin and ask the doctor, "This is my friend, is he going to be okay?"

"Is it safe to go to the mine?" Jack says to the clerk.

The leader shakes his head to you and gestures for two of the squad to trial behind slightly before continuing. As you enter the scaffolding area the people around you start visibly showing unease.
The scraping noise gets louder.

The man in the medic-coat turns to you, he has unnervingly blue hair.
He shakes his head sadly "He seems to have swallowed at lot of water."
Apparently Merrin is the sort of person who can drown himself in half a bucket of water.
"We should get him some where safer."
A SWAT man appears behind him and raises a sub-machine gun there is a flash of motion as another rebel strikes them with the butt of a handgun.

(I should have a picture of both these people by my next post.)

The clerk giggles for some reason before holding out a key and asking if you would like to buy a locker.
