Mission Idea: The Prisoners!

[The GM (Frank Gentry)]

Hey Guys,

I just came up with an interesting idea for a future mission, that I might spring on us, after the JM.

I was thinking the mission would start with all of us waking up in an alien prison.

None of us have any memory of how we got there, how long we've been there, or even the mission we were on at the time.

There are signs that we have been tortured (the injuries will appear to be about a week old). Our weapons will have been stripped and helmets (where our communicators are) removed. When we do see our captors, they will be an alien race that we don't recognize, and our universal translators will be ineffective.

So, we will have a mystery to solve and will have to find a way to escape (and maybe throw some retribution into the mix)...But, there's more!...It will turn out that one of our fellow prisoners (the only one that speaks standard), has either discovered something or knows something important to the Federation, and must be take with us when we escape. Though he will also have no idea how he got there, he will have been an inmate longer than us and will be able to 'show us the ropes'.

This is the bare bones...Can you guys think of more things that can fill it out?

* What might have been our mission at the time?

* Who are our captors, and why have they captured us?

* How did they capture us alive?

* Is there an interesting twist we can throw into this?

Hey Guys,

I have decided, our next mission will be this one. It will be "Mission 4.2, The Prisoners"

When we start it, the last things you will remember, is what you were last doing as we were leaving Odeul IV (Hansen, that's the planet that the last adventure took place on and the rondevu point for the Vortex and Black Rose).

More coming...

Been thinking about this and had an idea of what the original mission could be.

A Federation ship on the edge of our known space could have found a (seemingly, at least) abandoned station or ship. But when they try to access it, they find that it is booby-trapped and that it seems to have no way to make artificial gravity.

So, they send for the Rangers, who have plenty of experience with both booby-traps and zero-gravity, to clear and secure the alien object.

Then, presumably, those aliens would return or maybe it would be some kind of transporter...I don't know, that can come later.

Also, to make it extra interesting, the alien prison could be zero-gravity, as well.

Oh, yes! It's actually a trap...Our captors want hostages (they don't really know who they've captured).

This is going to be tied into Hobus event and the stories that can come from that.

And...NO DOCTOR! (Hee hee)

I'm thinking our guards will actually live in the camp and it will be on a planet.


This is an idea of what it looks like (sorry about the poor pic). The cells are metal of some kind, probably with plastcrete in between the metal walls.

Don't worry, you guys will get out...
