Mission Briefing

Administrator Jayanti

Commander, there is a matter that wish you to investigate. It is... sensitive in nature.

ALEPH has done what it can to restrict Governor Prescott's secure network access, but he has nonetheless accessed a large amount of classified data. Nearly all of his inquiries relate to a set of secret PanOceanian installations on the Western continent, but for reasons which at first were rather confusing, he also spent quite some time this morning performing a trace on an encrypted transmission.

The transmission originated on Yu Jing comm channels, but the recipient was somewhere within the alien network. This is extremely alarming, especially given recent events.

The Governor was able to trace the circuitous rerouting of the transmission to its source-- a disused ALEPH comm relay on an island of the Yinfeng Archipelago. You are to travel there and prevent the agents of the Evolved Intelligence from having any direct contact with the individual responsible for the transmissions.

Oh, yes-- I should have mentioned. The individual is... known... to ALEPH. The routing program he used is rather unique. This person is extraordinarily dangerous, and should not be trifled with. More importantly, however, his cube is loaded with a decade of stolen information on subjects you cannot even imagine.

Do not allow him to follow into enemy hands.

To make sure of it... kill him yourself.

Good luck, Commander.

Terrain

A secret ALEPH research facility on the Yinfeng Archipelago.

Deployment & Setup

Both players will deploy on opposite sides of the game table, in a standard Deployment Zone 12 inches deep.

Special Rules & Objectives

Tech Coffins: There are 5 Tech Coffins scattered around the facility. As a short skill while in base contact with a Tech Coffin, a Specialist model may make a WIP roll to open it. On a failure, the roll may be repeated as many times as necessary, spending the corresponding short skill each time. On a success, the tech coffin opens. Roll on the following chart to determine its contents:
- 1-8: Antipersonnel mine which immediately explodes, targeting the specialist who opened the Tech Coffin.
- 9-12: Agent 696. Place him on the board in base contact with the specialist who opened the Tech Coffin.
- 13-20: E/M Grenade which immediately explodes.

If 4 Tech Coffins have been searched and Agent 696 has not been found, he is automatically in the last unsearched Tech Coffin.

The Hacker: The human hacker is hiding somewhere in the facility. The Hacker has the following profile:

LI (Hackable)	Agent 696
	MOV	CC	BS	PH	WIP	ARM	BTS	W	S
	4-4	17	13	12	14	1	6	1	2
Abilities	CH: Camouflage, Hacker, Martial Arts Lv.1, Neurocinetics, Regeneration
Equipment:	Cube, Assault Hacking Device
Weapons:	Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines, Assault Pistol, Shock CCW

Agent 696 does not receive an active turn, but may perform AROs against any model he considers hostile (which is everyone). All of his AROs are determined by the reactive player.

At the end of any order that is spent anywhere on the table, if Agent 696 is completely out of the LoF of all enemy models, he will vanish. Replace him with a Camouflage marker and place it 2" closer to the nearest table edge. If Agent 696 reaches the board edge, he will escape the mission site.

Collect the Hacker's Cube: Any model may collect Agent 696' cube by reducing him to a Null state with a melee attack or by performing a Coup de Grace against him while he is in the Unconscious state.

If any player collects Agent 696' Cube, that player will secure the Ubiquitous Network Node

Krasz Volok: Superior Delegate Krasz Volok must be included in the Combined Army's force at a cost of 39pts and 0.5 SWC.

MI	Superior Delegate Krasz Volok
	MOV	CC	BS	PH	WIP	ARM	BTS	W	S
	4-2	23	12	14	13	2	3	1	2
Abilities	Morat, AD: Combat Jump, Executive Order, Natural Born Warrior, Specialist, V: Dogged
Equipment:	Cube
Weapons:	Vulkan Rifle, D-Charges, Zero-V Smoke Grenades, Pistol, AP CCW

Krasz Volok is a character model and is therefore subject to rules for Character Death.

Battle Prep: Ubiquitous Network Node

Battle Prep rewards apply a bonus to all friendly players during the Week 5 mega-battle.

Benefit: During Week 5, each allied player may place a Deployable Repeater anywhere up to the center line of the board during his deployment.
