Game summary for August 11, 2011; present characters included Bernsen (dwarf combat mage), Network (dwarf drone rigger), and Vessel (troll brawler).
Within the compound, Team MACHETE moved to the first door and kicked it open. Within was a science lab with several scientists and technicians as well as four armed guards. In glass tanks along the rear were two cybertooth tiger drones. The team plunged into the room, bullets flying. Scientists and techs went down in a hail of stray gunfire as the team opened up in full-auto mode. The guards fought back viciously, also in full-auto. The sound of brass hitting the tile floor tinkled quietly between the booming thunder of indoor gunfire. Blood sprayed the walls as the team moved in and took down target after target. Bernsen unleashed a devastating Power Ball to help seal the deal.
Using one of the living scientists, the team started a download of the system science data. Network took control of the biodrone cybertooth tigers, sending one back toward the extraction point on remote along with his GM-Nissan Doberman drone. The other, Network “jumped in” and controlled directly.
Just as the team started backing into the first room when the barracks doors opened and more metahuman troops poured through. Network charged through to the attack, and Feast and Razor lobbed and launched grenades. The effect on the furthest foes was best described as “chunky salsa.” With two soldiers down and another injured, Feast moved in with a katana while the combat mages started lighting people up. Unfortunately, one the elves proved especially dangerous, dropping the cybertooth tiger and several of the MACHETE team with a number of point-blank long bursts of APDS ammo. With most of the team down, things looked bleak until the elf’s modified Colt M23 went dry. Suddenly the team was upon him, and he died in a hail of blades and bullets.
Using first aid and Heal, the team was quickly patched up. Demolitions charges were set throughout the building, and the team extracted. Once a safe distance, Bersen clicked the remote to blow the place to pieces. Team MACHETE slipped quietly into the jungle and disappeared, mission accomplished.
The above summary is for a game session of Shadowrun: 20th Anniversary Edition played by the Phoenix Gaming Club.
