Actual Play – Tachyon Squadron – Ep 5

In the wake of a merchant ship’s destruction from an apparent saboteur, the members of Tachyon Squadron hit the streets (space streets) to uncover the culprit. However, their checkered past and less than stellar history draws the suspicion of investigating authorities.

*Note*

This scenario’s creation was based on a creepy pasta story  “My Uncle’s Bizarre Encounter in a US Intelligence Agency”.  At Gen Con I mentioned to Review Cultist of the Al Denta Rigamortis podcast that this pasta would make an excellent DG scenario.  This lead to us deciding to do a RPX / ADR crossover episode.  Be sure to swing by Al Dente Rigamortis to check out ADR Episode 233 ” My Uncle’s Bizarre Encounter in a US Intelligence Agency” in which Review Cultist and I discuss the twice mentioned creepy pasta story.  A great time was had by all.
