Constructed using a couple of power packs from the Krai blasters. Includes a short ranged electromagnetic sensor tuned to the frequency given off by living creatures. A remote control unit with a master override controls the unit. When the remote is activated, the bola goes live. Within a safety zone of two meters from the remote, the bola will not discharge. Afterwards, the bola will discharge a electrical current along the length of the cable when the bio-sensor trips. The current is calibrated to the human nervous system. The master remote can override turn off the charge. Net result is a bola that does damage to the target while it is wrapped around him. In game terms, this is a stunner built into the bola doing 3d6 HTC with -1 to the target's dividers. ============================================================= ALL CAMPAIGN RATINGS APPLICABLE IN ILANI SPACE Financial Resource Level 5 Material Resource Level 4 ============================================================= Public Status = 23 Backing 4 Heroism 4 Public ID 4 Public Relations 3 Practice 8 Detective Points = 22 Methods 4 Publicity 5 Approachability 3 Power Use 3 Contacts 7 Personal Status = 21 Conscience 3 Expression 3 Success Rate 5 Public Response 4 Security 6 Success notes: (track failure timing for proper aging.) ============================================================= OK, we'll go with 3 Kraiian designed bolos (which should be easy enough to either duplicate or replace should they become damaged) that compact nicely on a belt or bandoleer. Is M'Krell a PC or NPC? Todd ============================= What is Ka-sador? Ka-sador is an Orionid, a name given to them by the intelligensia in relation to the constellation hunter Orion. Nearly extinct, the Orionids are (or were) renowned for their tracking and hunting abilities. To Orionids the pursuit of a quarry quickly became their raison d'etre, which seemed evolutionarily predestined. Possessing highly enhanced senses like that of the wild game they pursued, the Orionids were able to track even the most stealthy and clever of species on their planet. Orionids quickly mature and possess tall, slender frames with smooth almost avian features, and a sleek midnight blue skin tone (which can appear jet black up to royal blue depending on lighting and movement. Hide in Shadows). Despite being a physically imposing species, the Orionids are extremely docile and quite pleasant as a people exhibiting great patience and determination. This demeanor, however, nearly led to their downfall as more aggressive races sought to harness their uncanny retrieval and hunting abilities for exploitation. The planet fell under the dominance of the Krai empire, and the peoples treated as a subject race. Self-rule was abolished, and the strict law of the Krai was installed. Ka-sador was one who fell afoul of the complicated Krai legal system and forced into slavery as a child. He was destined for the Krai arena and was trained in the traditional fighting and hunting methods of the Orionids. After some success in the backwater arenas on the Orionid home planet, it was decided that he should be sent to fight closer to the heart of the Krai empire. Eventually his "tour" took him near the frontier where the war with the High Illani and the Bolusci was being waged. It was there that the accident occurred. The Krai ship, which was not a warship by any means, although not unarmed of course, encountered a small Bolusci craft. Naturally, it attacked. It crippled the enemy ship and drew near to board. After a brief boarding action, a new prisoner was brought on a board, a young looking alien -- not a Bolusci, a High Illani. Suddenly the Bolusci ship exploded, damaging the Krai ship. The power to Ka-sador's cell went off and he wasted no time in stepping out and disabling the guard who was man-handling the young Illani. Together the two headed for an escape pod, pausing only to collect Ka-sador's armaments as they went. Ka-sador disable several more Krai as they fought their way clear, but soon the two prisoners were free. As the pod sought a planet on which to land, they traded stories. Ka-sador learned the Illani was M'Krell, a princess of the Illani, who was Truce-Bonded to the Meg of Bolusci to form an alliance against the Krai. The bonding was not a happy one, and M'Krell fled and was captured. Now the two aliens are trapped on earth, with no way off. Are the Krai hunting them? What about the Meg and his Star Guard? Only time will tell. ----- With this scenario, I'd give the two of you a single captured Krai hologram projector which can be used to disguise the user as a human. That way one of you at a time can get out of your hiding place. ________________________________________________________________ Todd R.
