5 Parsecs - tough times

This weekend I managed to squeeze in a couple of games of the continuing adventures of The Hermes crew. 

Game 1 - escort

The first game saw the crew hired by a Patron to escort him to a terminal outside the main bank where  he could upload some plans for a new refinery processing unit.

The Patron advances

The crew got bounced my some Mercs hired by a rival mining corporation. These guys are pretty tough a certainly a match for my crew.   

Mercs move the intercept

The mission was a success in that the plans got uploaded by the withdrawal I took three losses, which turned into two wounded crew of the next game. As in the previous battle with the Mercs I didn't rout them but we did a deal for them to withdraw.  

Plans safely uploaded

Game 2 - Jungle quest

With the numbers of Rivals rising I blasted off for a neighbouring plant as part of an ongoing Quest to find a sample of the rare, and valuable, Trillium-D mineral. This involved searching a jungle research station.

Abductors mass to attack

Arriving on site I found that a group of aggressive Abductor aliens had arrived as part of an advanced guard for an invasion. I was forced to fend them off while searching 4 locations for the mineral. 

I was able to beat of the attack but the clues proved a dead-end and the quest for the Trillium-D continues.  In the next game I must survive the invasion and blast-off in my ship for a safer world.
