Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Excusing yourself from the meeting for a few minutes you move to the bridge and check the sensors. You easily detect loads of RF traffic coming from a central location in town. Cross referencing that against the map you see the chatter is coming from a single skyscraper. You return to the meeting.

Travis returns, and on the map projected in the lounge, he super-imposes his sensor data, looks over at the guests..."What is that Skyscraper?? and with all the data streams, why would that NOT be the comm center??"

(OOC -  As I have a Military grade computer, am I able to "Listen In" to the Radio Chatter??)

McManus leans over to look, "That's Thompson Tower (Area 02), that's the Boss's headquarters. If there are large-scale comms coming from there - well - that's something new."

You note that the traffic is perfectly scrambled, utilizing military grade encryption.

"Hmm, Military Encryption...well, if that's his headquarters, stands to reason that is also his Comm Center."

Travis muses out loud..."too bad I don't have any missiles..."

Travis then brings up some sensor screens, looking for any other locations with a high level of communications...

You note that there is a high level of chatter coming from the missile base - an amount that rivals Krag's headquarters.

(OOC - Unable to locate on map, little help???)

Hey Guys, what's here??? There's as much Comms here as there is over there..."

OOC - area 014 the Freemont Rocket base (or missile base)

McManus nods, "That's Krag's main troop base. Lot's of armed characters roaming around there."

"Hmmm, the Skyscraper, his Headquarters, and the Rocket Base, his Barracks...now I find it interesting that the original destination was the Rocket Base, only to be redirected here...was those crates originally for him???" Travis looks right at McManus...

McManus nods, "Yes the crates were originally for him. Here's what you were hauling.."

He has a weapon brought up and lays it down on the table, "Combat shotguns and ammo. We're going to need them for this mission."



He hands you a slip of paper.

"This is a new radio frequency for my personal comm link. Memorize it and then destroy the paper. Once you lift off then move far from here and climb back into orbit. You can then descend down to wherever you choose near the tower. Krag is sure to get in touch with you. Find a way to get yourselves invited inside and then find that comm center and take it out. Once you contact me with the good news we will attack. With any luck within 48 hours Krag will be dead and the whole thing will be a non-issue with your employer."

"Hmmm... I like this, can we get 4 of them with ammo?? and we were told to land at the Rocket Base, landing by the Skyscraper would arouse suspicion, don't you think??? I was thinking bout taking out the antenna's from altitude, on both comm sites."

McManus shakes his head, "The most important part of the communication systems are located below ground. We have taken out aerials and suchlike before and they were back up in no time. No, you will have to go in and get down to the heart of their operation. And yes, you can have 4 weapons and ammo. I think that landing at either the rocket base or the Towers will end up with you as his guest - if you handle it right."

McManus nods, "You will need to have something he needs - like the equipment we will be giving you that he needs to repair his water system. Just make sure that you give his goons a chance to spot this stuff in your hold. He'll get the word soon enough. Probably not a good idea to mention the guns though."

Sanke moves up to you, "Eh, dude, I think it may be best if I move back into one of the secret crawl-spaces on the ship. I know these dudes first hand and I'm a bit worried that they may remember me as well, you dig?"

(OOC - OK...1 thing at a time, please...)

(1) to McManus "OK, let's get that stuff loaded, then give me a day or two to formulate a plan and get equipment ready...got any explosives???"

(2) (OOC - was Sanke there at the conference? or was he hiding the whole time and they only saw me and Violet??? either way...) Travis signals Sanke to wait for any private conversations... (OOC - am assuming he was hidden the whole time and this is after the visitors left??)
