Rhubarbie excitedly welcomes and hugs Lexicor! It is so fine to see you again my friend....

Rhubarbie non challantly offers Lexicor a sip of her current home brew hooch. I made this stuff in the engine room on the return trip from my last mission. I used Jinsul Batteries....shhh

Lexicor's smile turns to a near grimace as Rhubarbie hugs him.

Well, yes, that will be just right for, um the journey. he seems to be befuddled then composes himself.

Rhubarbie, it will be good to travel with you again. Our chances of success are increased by a statically significant margin as we form a diverse team familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Oh yeah you know it Lexicor! We sure learned how to take a nasty punch and in turn how to punch back did we not...Oh this has gotten so much more exciting! so

she lowers her voice

What do you think of this scratch I made huh? The J Batts really speed up the ruminations of the electrolytes which in turn, blaze the tanninytes, almost like a caramel. Who needs steel magnetized barrels, am I right?

Long gulp. Rhubarbie claps Lexicor on the back and beams a smile all happy tusky teeth and cheer.

What do you think of my Armor now? I have made some more modifications

It is significantly more intimidating than Lexicor remembers, yet sillier. Whenever no one is looking she shoots her grapple gun and various objects and reels it in, like some game

Lexicor nods in agreement with the half orc.

Those are significant improvements. I have added a few spells to my inventory as well. All of which are likely to be needed. From what I have surmised, this mission will be more difficult than our last one.

Another android enters the area and pauses to look about the room. Her eyes stop on every person gathered here for just a moment before moving onto the next, allowing her exocortex to analyze minute details about the crew gathered here.

She's wearing a weathered old leather jacket over a black band t-shirt, a purple mohawk swept down lazily over the side of her face, and a scowl. Over her shoulder hangs an battered old laser rifle with visible signs of charring at the muzzle from repeated overcharged use. Over her face and hands are a collection of tattoos, in equal parts ink and glowing android circuitry in elaborate patterns.

When her eyes fall on Lexicor and Rhubarbie, the data fed to her about how they comport themselves indicates that these are fellow Starfinders. Her eyes then move to Deloran, and she recognizes him immediately.

She approaches the group "I must be in the right place, am I late? I think I was a last minute addition to this mission. I am Kat5e, most just call me Kat. Hello again Deloran, looking forward to working with you again." We played Zone 78 together last year.

A human walks in with a large smile on his face. He goes around greeting everyone.
"Hello I am Deloran, hopefully we will see new lifeforms on this assignment."


2-01 map | 5-25 map

The meeting room door slides open and a vesk wearing the insignia of the Obsidian Spiders steps in. He clears his throat and then speaks gruffly, "We will be leaving for Eox within the hour."

You all remember the message from Radaszam being very strange. It said to meet at this dock in this section of Absalom Station. Once you arrived you saw the emblem of the Obdsidian Spiders plastered on the side of the light freighter. While it is no secret that Radaszam leads a private mercenary outfit, it is unheard of for him to use them to ferry Starfinders around. The whole situation strike you as very odd, but the Spiders have been very accommodating.

The ship takes off at the specified time and the corresponding trip takes two days. You find that your destination is Eox. To your surprise however, you begin flying into a seeminly random crevasse in the surface. The pilot flies expertly through some tunnels and caverns to land, finally, on a covert landing pad.

You are lead out of the landing area to a dizzyingly large complex of a multistory subterranean facility with floors dedicated to film sets, employee amenities, and cavernous boardrooms. They continue to lead you to one of the boardrooms and find Radaszam already seated within. The room is furnished with a large round table and multiple wall-mounted flat screens. Radaszam gestures you to sit and looks impatient.

Several minutes later an undead elebrian bursts through the door in a dramatic entrance. This elebrian is none other than Zo!, Eox’s
foremost media mogul. Zo! rubs his skeletal hands together and turns his rictus grin to Radaszam. “Excellent work, you truly are the Dealmaker. My viewers will love these agents you’ve assembled!” Radaszam nods, briefly showing his teeth.

“Before we get too carried away, I need a moment to explain the situation.” Radaszam sighs wearily. “We thought our troubles were over after the Scoured Stars business. We were wrong.”

“Allow me to elaborate!” Zo! excitedly explains, seizing a remote. The screens behind him flicker to life, and the undead mogul spins around in his chair for a better view. Radaszam buries his head in his hands as the video plays.

The Starfinder Society emblem appears on screen as a deep, confident voice narrates: “The Starfinder Society, a group dedicated to the pursuit of truth and knowledge—or so they say.” The music dramatically flares as the voice-over continues. “What does this fraudulent organization really stand for?”

The camera pans over a fleet of Starfinder starships engaged in vicious fleet-to-fleet combat with unseen attackers. “Today, the Scoured Stars; tomorrow, your system. Where exactly will these hells-bent-on-conquest soldiers stop?” The scene then changes to that of a shirren, faction leader Zigvigix, dancing in a crowd, their torso and arms crammed into a Strawberry Machine Cake T-shirt. “While Starfinder operatives carry out secret wars across the galaxy, Society leaders embezzle funds to purchase VIP concert tickets. What is their true agenda?”

The screen transitions to grainy footage of Venture-Captain Arvin emerging from the Lorespire Complex, his hand raised to block the flash of cameras. “Society leadership refuses to elaborate. But the question remains: does this group have any place in the Pact Worlds?” A half-dozen similar ads play as Radaszam shakes his head and Zo! watches intently.

“As you can see,” Radaszam grumbles, “We’re facing a multimedia smear campaign. The First Seeker is working through legal channels while Celita locates the source of the commercials. But there’s a way you can help.” Radaszam catches Zo!’s eye and nods.

“You’re going to turn the tides of public opinion in your Society’s favor,” Zo! gushes, “by competing on my show, Pact World Warriors!”

“Zo! and I believe that a good showing on a prime-time game show might undermine this attempt at slander.” Radaszam explains. “I handpicked you to compete as a team. If you can impress Pact Worlds viewers enough, that’ll be the distraction we need to get the time to figure this whole situation out.”

A Grey-and-Black Pahtra with strange markings on her forhead is in the corner of the room. She wears some revealing but practical climbing clothes over her suit of skintight armor. You see her do some basic stretches as she watches the whole thing unfold.

"Wow, talk about lucky," she says as she finishes up stretching elbow behind her head. "I joined the Starfinders to get some training for the off-season. Now my day job and my moonlighting job overlap."

She waves to Zo! "Hey Zo! Can you break with protocol just a bit and tell us what the contests for this episode are? For your favorite Phatra?"

A bright green skittermander looks up at everyone.

"Oh, field work, are you sure I am supposed to be here? Luckily I am very helpful. Hello Nu-friends!"

Steve starts quickly sorting through a variety of vials, and ends up with a syringe stick in one hand, a caustolance held in two hands, and his broad spectrum scanning kit and a com unit.

Into his com-unit, "No, Vesk are not immune to Id Moss. I advise not letting them eat any. I have to go, I have a field mission!"

This character serves non-mechanically as my hireling for all my other SFS characters.

Rhubarby pales

wha, what do you mean, viewers? Is this a live broadcast?

Rhubarby's demeanor flares. Glares daggers at Radaszam and lays into him

Look Rad, you know me by now, I will do whatever yall ask , but this is almost to much! SENDING US to PERFORM in some LIVE Action show unprepared is wholly dunceheaded! Do you know how much preparation it takes to ensure our appearance my Armor is up to the task of looking it VERY best? I would have brought a whole different outfit! You want me to appear on across the Pact world to improve your image, but throw us in here LIKE some space rock FARMER without any chance to look ONES Very best? Putting us on a live stream looking like this is just another indication that maybe the reputation the Starfinders have is deserved no? !Gr GR Huff Huff!! I'm going to complain to HR on this, I can get stabbed and shot and radiation burns, but this is just a slap in the face! Huff Huff

Rhubarby is not happy and is not afraid to let Rad know. She worries over her armor and equipment, tussing her hair, smacking her lips trying to buff this and that, wholly exasperated. Done with complaining...she turns to Zo..

You better have some sort of media person that can help a warrior look her best right? Does anyone have any of those steel teeth caps? They make my smile appear more menacing...

Lexicor nods in agreement with his halforc friend.

Indeed. Performing may not be the best utilization of our varied talents. Warriors, yes. Researchers, certainly. Diplomats? Occasionally. But performances may be a bit of a stretch. Anything we can do to enhance the odds of our success will definitely be warranted.

Deloran just stands there watching the vid screens in shock. He then turns to Radaszam and says "I don't want to sound rude or anything but how do we know that it is not Zo! that created the ad's to force us into playing the games?"
He turns to Zo! "Sorry the last time I 'preformed' for you it nearly got me killed. And what happened to blinky? You know the glowing creature that the goblins were forcing to fight, but I was able to befriend it. Your crew took Blinky away and that was the last I saw of the creature."

Deloran hardens himself to stands his morale ground that he will not actively take life. Just like the past show he was in by this undead supper ego vid star.

Kat listens intently and muses over the phrase Hand picked for this mission.

I sure hope it's based on my excellent record with the society, and not some rags to riches PR stunt to have me along. I wonder if there's dirt on all of us that have landed us here. Some spin for good press. she thinks to herself.

"So what's the catch? This is obviously damage control, what's expected of us in this little performance? Like Rhubarbie asked.. do we have to dress nice? I like my jacket just fine the way it is. It has earned these scars in battle."

"Guys, guys, haven't you ever seen Pact World Warriors? C'mon, yer makin' me feel bad. It's a Trid show yeah, but it's like Supreme Fighting Championchip or Golarian Ninja Challenge. You just show up, make sure to stretch out, and then run some obstacle courses, or maybe do some hide-and-seek thing, sometimes there's a fight. And sure, it's televised but there is no performance, you just . . . y'know . . . do athletic stuff and they record you. I came in fourth place overall last year. Seriously, no one saw that?"

Zo!'s eyes slowly look to Radaszam as Rhubarbie's rant begins. Radaszam just gives Zo! a hard look and then a sigh.

Zo! thrusts a finger at Rhubarbie enthusiastically once she's done, "Of course we do! You will be able to prep to your beating heart's content! We have all kinds of options for all of you! Just tell my assistant what you want and we should be able to get it!"

His gleeful eyes shift to Deloran and they harden slightly, "Starfinder. I have absolutely no need to coerce your society. We wrote up a contract together after the last show. And, as for blinky, one of our executives took such a liking to blinky that they took blinky home with them. And they have a very nice place!"

"Look," Radaszam interrupts with another sigh, "it is just as Telhi says. Your part in this is to just do the challenges. No major sprucing or pagentry is necessary. You will just be doing what you normally would do on a mission except the background might be different...and probably some music as well."

Zo! jumps in enthusiastically, "Yes! Pact World Warriors is an action-packed game show filmed here in my megastudio. Two teams compete in a series of death-defying challenges. The winning team earns eternal adoration from millions of fans—and a cash prize! As for the challenges, that’s a surprise! A Pact World Warrior can think on the fly, roll with the punches, expect the unexpected!” he gesticulates wildly as he speaks.

Radaszam snorts dismissively. “Probably a bunch of celebrity wannabes, but don’t underestimate them. I don’t have any intel on your opponents.” He glances pointedly at Zo!, who gives a wide-grinning shrug in return.

"Oh great, now its a 'system-wide' popular game show and we are the.." Rhubabry looks around at her companions "Absalom huckleberries"

She sniffs... embracing her fate She takes a long swig of home made hooch and exclaims.....

"Well, we may not be all that fabulous looking, but, I do know that as Starfinders, we get the job done. You stand in our way, you get whats coming....."

"All right Zo, I'll take your assistants up on that offer.."

Rhubabry will take immense delight in all the attention she can get on improving her Regalia, making sure the assistants are running about

You might overhear her fussing "This IS Pink? Did I say pink? No, I said Violet! Violet brings out the best shade of my eyes. Ok fine, let me see the Pink one..I can't go into a Live Stream TV Battle with nails like this can I? I thought Pact World Warriors was a top end production"...."YOU!

Kat scans back in her memory for anytime the show may have been on in the background of a club where she was working. While she never watched the show intentionally, she finds records collected by her auditory sensors.

"I seem to recall it now that you mention it, Telhi. Some of the challenges I recall involve different combinations of obstacle courses, tests of skill, and war games. Also, something they called “combat karaoke”, a challenge where they fought some monstrous creature while singing terrible pop songs. That's when my sensors filtered it out. Sometimes there's equipment left out or hidden around to help you in the challenge."

”Well, some of that’s true. Dunno about the Kombat Karaoke thing, must have been in a season I wasn’t in. But yeah, just do the mostly athletic challenges. It can get pretty tough but it isn’t rocket science.”

"I heard that the crew offers supply crates to the contestants, sometimes these are in plain sight and other times they are hidden on set.

Watching Kat's hair, Steve thinks this seems fun. He will use his custom microlab to generate some static to put all his fur on end.

"Rawr, fierce warrior time!"

Radaszam leads you out of the meeting room and down some hallways. He begins explaining how filming is scheduled to begin today so you need to "get your head in the game".

Zo! leads Deloran, Kat5e, and Rhubarbie off into a side room along the way.

Deloran, Kat5e, Rhubarbie:
The room Zo! takes you into is full of all kinds of different equipment. Zo! explains either that he has a “vested interest” in his friends’ success, or that heroes of the Scoured Stars can earn him more ratings if well equipped.

Each of these selected PCs can select up to three pieces of gear:
(Armor): Ash dendron armor (heavy armor), lashunta mind mail I (light armor).
(Weapons): Blaze agitator (heavy weapon), corona laser rifle (longarm), monophonic interference blade (advanced melee weapon).
(Miscellaneous): k 2 ring of resistance

Radaszam notices shortly after that Zo! and the others have disappeared and decides to stop to wait. "Listen Steve and Lexicor, we need this win. This is a very important first step. Telhi, you do you. And, above all, make us look good." After that last part Radaszam gives a toothy smile.

Deloran grabs the k2 ring of resistance and a Lashuta mind mail 1 for himself, He then grabs the a monophonic interference blade for anyone else who could use it.

"Thank you for this equipment, and hopefully with it we can put a good show on for your audience.
I do have to ask. Why do we get a chance at your special stores and not all of the group? I am sure Steve and Lexicor could use something from these racks."
Deloran asks.

"Zo, this is all to much! Of course you would have exactly what Rhubarby loves best!!"

Rhubarby squeals, hugs Zo, grabs a Blaze Agitator, a laser rifle as well as a Mk2 ring of resistance.

Rhubarby's previous dark mood was easily dispelled with some special treatment.

Kat's eyes widen at the load of advanced gear. She immediately slips a Corona Laser Rifle off the rack, checks it's charges and operation. She moves next to the armour and examines the Lashunta Mind Mail, and lastly to the blaze agitator.

"This should all come in handy. Thank you, Zo"

Maybe he isn't so bad after all. I will have to update his dossier.

Lexicor takes note as some of his companions are ushered into another location.

Radaszam, I cannot say that this is part of my standard programming skill, but I will provide whatever assistance to improve the odds of success. What exactly do you see us doing specifically towards this win?

Deloran, Kat5e, Rhubarbie:
Zo! doesn't seem to react to the elation of the others. Instead he turns to Deloran with his creepy smile, "Because, you all are or could easily be crowd favorites. If you perform better, you solidify that."

Steve, Lexicor, Telhi:
Radaszam puts a clawed-hand on Lexicor's soulder, "I have faith in you all. You will do what needs to be done because I chose you specifically."

”Uh, thanks sir. . . I-I kinda do this for a living. Only joined the Starfinders so I could trade in the off season. But-but I’ll do my best?”

Tehli is ready to go

After Telhi's declaration the others emerge from the hallway and rejoin the group. They are trailed by the ever-smiling Zo!.

Soon after that, a crew of zombie camera...people shamble out from the now open doors ahead which again leads to another hallway. But this hallway has a different energy about it. An anticipation of something to come. You can hear the hint of a crowd and announcers....

The undead camera crew shamble around, getting uncomfortably close for close-ups and also a distance ahead for walking action shots.

You cannot help but feel like this is going to be BIG....

I'd like your character's inner and/or outer reactions to the anticipation of this event starting.

Production quality. Go for zero!

Lexicor is lost in calculating the best course of action when the sounds of crowds erupts.

What have we managed to do to ourselves this time?

Deloran offers the monophonic interference blade to anyone who wants it.
"I will be sticking to my non lethal weapons, so it is yours if you can use it. Does anyone have an idea what the competitions are going to be like? Hopefully it won't be just fighting."

Deep Inside Rhubarby somewhere - She thinks "If my Mother sees this I will never live this down"

On the Outside Rhubarby is engaging the cameras like a natural "Who is the greatest Pack World Warrior?? Who wants some of this Orc Ass Kicking anyway? I cut like a Space Hauler, hell, I sting like a Space Hauler too!'

Telhi just smiles and waves to the crowd like an Olympian taking the field for their first event.

Ah, good to be back she thinks.

She also leans over to Delorian and whispers
”If no one else can use that blade, I can, though remember there are undead around, so nonlethal damage may not be an option.”

Kat holds out her neatly folded Lashunta Mind Mail and appears to be examining it for a moment. Her mind spins through the infosphere, looking for the appropriate driver for her model year. In the blink of an eye, she has located and installed it into her running subroutines. She raises the armour in her outstretched hand and issues a mental command. It slowly encompassed her hand, link by link, and spreads up her arm before enveloping her body. She keeps a stern face as she studies the process, but breaks into a smile as it completely envelops her."Woah, that was cool"

She regards her old armour and laser rifle with nostalgia for a moment. The memory of purchasing the rifle at a seedy pawn shop in lower absolom washes over her. I can't believe how far I've come since then, and the places that I've been. Time to show the whole 'verse what I can do.

She snaps out of her reverie and plants her usual gear into the arms of a passing crew member. "Put these in the green room for me. Keep them safe, or I'll hunt you down" she tells the stunned crew member before turning back to the rest of the Starfinders and smiles again in excitement. "Alright guys, let's do this! Stay loose and get ready for anything!"

As the distant crowd noise swells, she mentally scrolls through her internal storage for the perfect pump up jam to play in her ears. While the manic sounds of her favorite band begin, the glowing circuitry across her hands and face begin to pulse and glow brighter as she brings her energy levels up to full operating power for whatever comes next.

Deloran hands the blade over to Telhi.

Whispering back to Telhi "I have no idea how to use the thing. It looks mean so I thought someone would know how to use it. And yes, the dead should stay dead. And with a flick of a switch, my Static Arc pistols become lethal to the undead and robots. I don't have issues killing them, since they were not alive to begin with right."

Coming out of the changing area. Deloran marvels at the armor and ring knowing that these items will keep him safer than his older gear. He checks his pistols. Static Arc pistols are set on non lethal, check. One Needler Pistol with conserving weapon fusion loaded with Sedative darts, check. And the other Needler Pistol with conserving weapon fusion loaded with Heal Serum I darts, check. He goes through his gear believing that not all challenges will be combat.

Is he able to move his jump jets from his old armor over to the new armor?


2-01 map | 5-25 map

You emerge and your eyes adjust to the light to reveal a large hexagonal room crawling with camera drones. Various mini-sets form a mismatched still life. To the west, a raised circular platform housing a comfortable white couch stands in front of several vidscreens. A long newscaster’s desk occupies the area to the south. Two undead chat animatedly in front of a green screen in an open area to the east.

A spectral woman turns to a pale, gaunt man with clawed hands. “Are you ready to meet our contestants, Quell?” The woman’s breathy voice echoes through the chamber as a skeleton hoists a microphone in front of her ghostly lips.

“I died already, Lethea! I can already positively taste their excitement, and hesitation, and fear! Ah, and that piquant touch of nerves. Simply exquisite.” Quell winks at a nearby camera.

“Well, here they are!” Lethea announces. “We’ve brought both teams together for an exclusive meet and greet. Be on your best behavior, contestants. Our audience cheers loudest for living challengers, if you catch my drift.”

Across the room from you all is another crew. A surly looking female halfling, a spiffy damaya lashunta, a techy female vesk, a cagey male pahtra, and a friendly looking agender android.

"The Starfinders! AAaaaaaannnnnddd! Malus! Get your votes in!" Quell exclaims.
