Electric sub-station
Location: Lynchburg, Virginia USA
Admin: Dave
Agents: Quantum, Caspian, & JC
Notes: Briefing & Summary
Injuries: Nothing serious
Agents travel to Richmond, Virginia. I get to use an old locking briefcase that I found in my attic from about 25-30 years ago from my previous job! E.R.I.N. wants the agents to track down a rogue employee. The employee appeared to be planning a terrorist-type attack on an unknown target. Target ended up being a critical electric substation on the East coast. I got to use a Google Earth satellite map of an actual electrical substation that is located near where most of us live. Don’t know how critical it is but the aerial view of it was awesome! Going into this mission was when I had purchased Gygax #4. In reading through that new TS mission in Gygax #4, I re-discovered the fun of introducing “rumors” into gameplay.

Unfortunately, the agents failed in their protection mission. Also of note, an NPC, Dr. Olson was introduced during this mission too (more on her in Operation Piscina Grande-December 2010).

Who says walking your dog has to be boring? Agents contacted to travel to Winchester, Virginia. Their mission was to rescue a kidnapped defector. E.R.I.N. was in the process of transporting this defector from Dulles International airport in Washington D.C. to a safehouse in Virginia. The transport was attacked and the defector kidnapped and taken to a small airfield near Winchester, Virginia. E.R.I.N. investigators were working the case and they too ended up missing. The agents not only had to rescue the defector but also the investigators. For the target house that the PC’s had to attack, I used the exterior of a house near where I live that I could see from the road when I was walking my dog. The house had an amazing exterior. This mission ended up being a two session event.
