Encounter 13: Inside the Ship
All
"As you step inside the hatch, a sparkling red beam flashes towards you
from a ceiling-mounted turret. It strikes the wall next to you, leaving
an ugly scorch mark. A roaring, pulsating sound fills the alien ship.
On the wall opposite the door is a red flashing sign."

CPU Room
- There is a large blue-grey pod [BODY 20] in the
center. A cube [BODY 25] with swirling, multicolored gasses visible
through its transparent surface. The cube is making strange sounds.
- In the alien language, the cube says: "By order of
the Security Committee, this ship is off-limits to all non-official
personnel! Leave now. This is the final warning."
- 5 RAPs damage disables the pod. 10 RAPs damage
destroys the cube.
- After one minute (4 APs): With a screeching sound,
the pod starts cracking. The characters have one action before the pod
explodes, knocking everyone down (4 AP Physical Attack). Once the dust
settles the heroes see a 7' tall blue-green reptilian alien, sporting
small horns on its forehead and a vestigial tail. The alien is grinning
at you.
- If the bad guys got here first, they will be
unconscious (except for Jinx who is hiding) at the alien's feet when
the heroes enter.
Encounter 14: The Battle!
If the heroes need help and Jinx is free, she can jump in. If the
heroes flee, Jinx will reveal herself and ask for their help in
defeating the space monster. If the monster wins, the heroes will wake
up to find the creature long gone, loosed upon the world.
