4maskwolf Alien Exterminator Alive 100 No Action Dies
While you aren’t planning on killing any one right now, you’re much less sure of everyone else. So you decide not to stay in your room where you’d be an easy target. Instead, you explore around the station a bit.
You spot a few other people down at the ends of other corridors, but each of you go your own way and you aren’t bothered.
However, as you walk through one of the storerooms your instincts warn you of danger, and barely manage to roll out of the way of a plasma bolt that slams into the wall behind you. You pull your own weapon and duck behind an empty metal crate as you scope out the situation.
You can’t tell who your attacker is, the lights in this storeroom are mostly off, but you can see that they ambushed you from the other end of the room on top of a larger shipping container. Smart. You fire off a few blasts from your pistol and hear them roll off and land behind the container. Sprinting a few feet you dive behind a larger stack of crates and hear the sizzle of plasma impacting on one of them.
A quick pop up to fire off some return fire, but your vision explodes in a bright searing light. The pain is intense, but short lived, and all
fades to black.
You have died.--
Caz Alien Exterminator Alive 0 Night Kill 4maskwolf Kills, Gets Bounty
Well, a bonus bounty on 4maskwolf won’t go amiss. And even if you don’t stick around to see this farce through at least you’ll have made a profit on the whole mess. So you start searching the station for him.
He’s not in his room, which isn’t surprising but still had to be checked.
After that it’s a matter of tracking down where he’d likely be. On the move, probably. Maybe hunting someone else, maybe just trying to evade you.
After a bit you manage to catch sight of him moving down a corridor towards the storage rooms. Perfect! You move quickly along an alternate route, and set yourself up in one of the storerooms, lying in a perfect ambush spot on top of a large shipping container.
It takes him a while to get to this one, but eventually you hear his footfalls coming through the hall. You line up a perfect shot on him and fire as soon as he is inside. Though skill, instinct, or dumb luck he manages to predict the shot and rolls out of the way just in time. Your shot splatters against the back wall and the glare lets you clearly see him roll behind a metal crate. He returns fire, with several inaccurate shots that slam into the wall above you. Not a good place to stay. You roll off the container and land in a crouch. As you peek around the side of the container you see him sprinting towards a larger stack of crates. You open fire, but the two bolts just impact on the crate. Your next shot, though, is lined up perfectly and as he pops up to return fire you land a shot right between the eyes.
You hear a dull thump as he collapses behind the crates. You hold back, cautious in case this is a trick or if he’s just injured, but after a few minutes with no sound of movement you carefully head over and check.
Yup. He’s dead. Nothing much of note on him, though. Just his communicator and an Intel package, with the same info in it that yours had.
About an hour later you get some incoming messages on your communicator:
Bounty Kill confirmed on 4maskwolf 1000 KOR has been transferred to your Account. Your balance is now 1000 KOR.--
heydude6 Alien Exterminator Alive 0 Mind Control Juicebox to target IcyTea31, NK IcyTea Mind Controls, Kills, Gets Bounty
You spend a bit of time getting the Mind Control Ray set up and locked onto Juicebox’s unique mental signature. After programming in the commands, you activate the ray. The device hums for a bit as lights spin around the bottom ring, after a bit they slow and then stop as the ray’s power cell is depleted.
After waiting long enough for Juicebox to hopefully reach his target and absorb any defensive protections IcyTea31 might have you head out on the hunt yourself.
After scouting around for a bit you hear a disturbance near the power room, and decide to go that direction in case the activity is Juicebox and IcyTea. You see some signs of a struggle, but no one around, and head through to the mining ops area.
As you round the corner IcyTea nearly runs into you. They have a blaster out and are looking back the way they came. You swiftly grab their blaster arm with one hand to keep it away from you and stab upward with your combat knife. The point easily pierces the soft material at the base of their helm and slides through the throat.
As IcyTea31 sinks to the ground you take their blaster from them and fire a single shot at the heart. Part mercy killing, part a double-tap to be sure.
You quickly check the body for tech, but find only a used-up Personal Shield on them. Hearing more noise out in the mining area you decide it is best to head off. You don’t want
your bounty getting collected, after all.
A while later you get a notice on your communicator:
Bounty Kill confirmed on IcyTea311000 KOR has been transferred to your Account. Your balance is now 1000 KOR.--
IcyTea31 Alien Exterminator Alive 0 No Action Attacked twice, Dies
While you aren’t planning on killing any one right now, you’re much less sure of everyone else. So you decide not to stay in your room where you’d be an easy target. Instead, you explore around the station a bit.
You spot a few other people down at the ends of other corridors, but each of you go your own way and you aren’t bothered.
Eventually you make your way to the mining ops area. You start poking around a bit. This area was cleaned out pretty thoroughly, but perhaps something got overlooked.
As you’re looking through a crate full of packing material you hear footsteps coming down the hallway from the power station. You look up just in time to see a gun leveled at you and drop down behind the crate as two blasts of plasma whizz overhead. You shove the crate towards your assailant and quickly dash around a corner as you draw your blaster.
After another set of blasts impacts off the wall you lean over and fire off a few shots yourself before ducking back. This isn’t good. The area you’re in dead ends at the actual mining airlocks, and there isn’t enough cover there to fight from. You do have your
Personal Shield, but that can only take a hit or two before failing. Not enough to handle a fight like that.
Another exchange of blaster fire. Whoever is attacking you is getting closer.
Hmm...perhaps you can bum rush them? Take the hit on your shield and get past them down the corridor they came from? There are more branches off from the power area, more places to take cover.
Risky, but it could work. And those footsteps keep getting closer.
As your assailant comes around the corner you roll forward and dodge the plasma blasts. A quick spring to your feet, an elbow to the ribcage, and you’re racing towards the power station doorway. You feel an impact on your back and a warning string of beeps from your shield as it goes down but you get to the doorway and duck around the corner before any more shots hit their mark.
You don’t really have time to process that, though, as you’ve just run directly into someone else. A hand grabs onto the arm holding your blaster and you feel a cold rush of pain in your throat. As you sink to your knees you feel this new attacker take the blaster from your hand. The last thing you see is your own gun being turned on you, and a flash of light.
You have died.

Jim Groovester Alien Exterminator Alive 100 Fake kill juicebox Gets Ad, Fake attack fails, Gets bounty anyway
All right! Time to see if you scam a bounty out of these bastard ‘employers’! Juicebox said to meet up with them at the power center, so you start heading that way. Hopefully they can be trusted.
As you walk through the corridors another add fills your vision.
Tired of that bland, boring muck served out of your old food dispenser? Well, try the new Helocrite Food Blaster 5000! Food so good you’d swear it was cooked in a real kitchen! [An image that takes over of a flashy looking food dispenser popping out trays of what look kind of like cheap cafeteria food. Admittedly, they do look more appetizing than the slop served on this station.]
You quickly throw yourself up against a wall until it finishes. Can’t be too careful right now, and a giant ad blocking your sight is a pretty big liability right now. Fortunately, no one else seems to be here at the moment, so your distraction didn’t cost you. This time.
You get to the power room and juicebox investigating what looks to be a Plasma Bomb rigged up to the main control systems. They’re carefully keeping their distance from it, at least. Looking around you spot a few places where cameras look to be pointing and a spot where you’re pretty sure they can’t see.
You pull out your combat knife and do a quick, stealthy, run over to them. You put an arm around their throat and pull them close, whispering “It’s me, just play along!” and pulling them towards the blind spot. Juicebox immediately stops actively hindering you and starts
acting like they are hindering you as you pull them over.
As you enter the blind spot though they suddenly go stiff. A quick smash backwards of their helmet into yours staggers you and they break free, rushing out towards the hall to the mining hall area.
Grumbling about this not being how you saw this going, you head after them. Trailing this time, since you can no longer trust that you won’t get a plasma bolt to the face for your troubles.
You skirt around behind Juicebox as you see them start attacking someone else in the area. You hide in a small alcove as you hear the tell-tale sounds of plasma bolts splattering against metal. After a little bit the sounds stop and you cautiously look out. Juicebox is standing in the middle of the mining area and looking back the way you came. Their behavior is odd. Stiff and not nearly as cautious as you think they should be for someone who was just in combat.
Against your better judgement you walk towards them, your own gun out but not pointed at them. “Hey, Juicebox? You ok? We still got a deal?”
They turn towards you and take a few steps forward. Suddenly a plasma bolt lights up the air between you and you doing a diving roll to reposition with view down the corridor to the rec area. Another figure stands at the end of the hall, firing plasma blasts down at the two of you and ducking behind the doorway between shots. Cursing you scramble past Juicebox to the cover of a stack of metal crates and fire off a few shots of your own. A few get close to Juice, who’s moving but not fast enough, and though you’re pretty sure none of yours hit them you hear a grunt of pain and Juicebox falls to the ground. You can clearly see the smoking hole blasted through their chest. You’re pretty sure that other shooter got them, but maybe your employers won’t be able to tell?
A few more shots are exchanged between you and whoever this attacker is before they duck away for good.
This whole thing just got way more exciting than you’d bargained for. You wait for a bit, and once things look clear you head back to your room.
On your way you get a pair of messages on your communicator:
Bounty Kill confirmed on juicebox1220 KOR has been transferred to your Account. Your balance is now 1320 KOR.--
juicebox Alien Exterminator Alive 50 No Action, examining the power room Fake Attacked, Mind Controlled, Attack IcyTea31, Dies
You really hope Jim can actually be trusted, because it’ll be hard to defend against a real kill while he’s ‘fake’ killing you. Still, he seems to be doing his best to get off this rock without having to do this whole ‘last man standing’ thing, so you’ve decided to trust him.
You head off to the power room. Once there you’re greeted to the no-so-pleasant sight of a fully armed Plasma Bomb hooked up to the primary systems. That thing goes off, it’ll take out power and life support to the entire station! Hmm. Might be possible to disarm it, but if it’s been rigged to go off if tampered you might just kill yourself trying.
As you’re looking it over you suddenly become aware of someone moving up behind you. It’s Jim, right? Gotta be Jim. Anyone else who wanted you dead would have just shot you in the back. An arm reaches across your throat and grabs you in a firm but not choking hold. “It’s me, just play along!” whispers a voice, which you think is Jim’s, and they start pulling you to the side. You manage to relax enough to fake fighting back without actually fighting back. Hopefully this works!
You put up a good fake struggle and the two of you move over to a small alcove area. Assumedly out of sight of the cameras.
No. This is wrong. You need to kill IcyTea31. You need to move.You smash your head against the individual holding you. Your helmets clang loudly and they are staggered backwards.
Find IcyTea31You move out to find them. The mining ops area is nearby. Check that.
Success! Target in sight! Your blaster is in your hands, firing. The target ducks and moves around a corner.
Advance. Kill.You move forward, plasma bolts slamming against the wall near their head. A few shots come your way, but none hit. You continue to advance, shot after shot lighting up the dimly lit room.
As you reach the corner IcyTea31 rolls out in front of you, dodging your plasma blasts and leaping up into you. Pain.
Pain is unimportant. Kill the Target.The Target is running, trying to get past you to the hallway to the power room. You turn and fire. One shot connects, but splatters off of an energy shield.
IcyTea makes it to the doorway, but you hear a crunch as two figures collide. Something has happened, just out of sight. IcyTea sinks down in the doorway. A plasma shot flares, and then the body falls.
Target eliminated. You feel...satisfied. The work has been done.
You start to move. A voice calls out “Hey, Juicebox? You ok? We still got a deal?”
You turn. Another figure is here. A part of your mind struggles to recognize it. Jim?
You take a step forward, and a bolt of plasma flies between the two of you.
The other figure dives and turns to face another hallway. You turn as well. An attacker. Bolts of plasma fly past. You raise yours and return fire.
This is all strange. Slow. Like a dream. You should be afraid. Why aren’t you afraid?
The other figure with you also returns fire down the hallway.
The attacker ducks in and out behind a doorway. Your shots come close, but none hit.
Something is wrong. Pain?
You look down to see a hole burned in your chest.
You are collapsing.
This is ok. The mission is complete.You can rest now.
You have died.

Toonyman Alien Exterminator Alive 0 Night Kill Juicebox, Assassin Bot Webadict Kills, Gets Bounty (after assassin bot goes off)
Time for some mayhem and some extra credits in your account!
You spend a little bit of time getting the assassin bot set up and targeted after webadict. It’ll take a while to do its job, but you’re pretty confident it’ll do what is necessary.
For now, you’re going to hunt down Juicebox and get rid of him.
It takes you a bit to track him down. You spot other figures moving around the station, but not him. And he’s not in his room.
Eventually you walk through the Rec room. You ideally note that this room has been so stripped down that even the monitor on the wall has been disassembled. All that’s left are some tables and chairs bolted to the floor and the busted up remains of a couch. Which...kinda looks like it got disassembled too. Weird.
You hear some activity happening from the hall down to the mining ops area and take a look. You’re in luck! Juicebox is standing down there out in the open, maybe talking to someone. Whatever.
You open fire. Another figure dives out of the way but juicebox just turns and starts firing back at you. You move to the corner of the doorway and exchange fire, leaning out just long enough to get off a shot or two before ducking back behind cover.
Looks like both figures are shooting at you, but juicebox is still oddly out in the open. You manage to land a hit, you think, and they fall to the ground. Another couple of shots to keep whoever else that is down and you move out. Not your bounty, and you’d rather not risk dying over it.
After a while you hear the announcement that the Second Truce Phase is starting, so you head over to the Mess Hall.
On your way you get a pair of messages on your communicator:
Bounty Kill confirmed on webadict1000 KOR has been transferred to your Account. Your balance is now 1000 KOR.--
webadict Alien Exterminator Alive 100 No Action Takes apart monitors, Assassinated (morning)
Strange times here. Lots of stuff going on, but is any of it the
right stuff? Only time will tell.
In any case, you spend your time disassembling the monitors in the Mess hall. It takes a while, but now you have a generous pile of electronic scrap on the floor in front of you. And no more stupid pictures from your ‘employers’. That’s nice.
As you’re sorting through the piles a maintenance droid moves up next to you beeps in annoyance. It tries to take some of the pieces back. You bat it’s grabbers away.
It beeps again, and reaches out for the parts.
You slap them way again.
It beeps again, and a shape detaches from it. Alarmed you reach for your blaster but the
Assassin bot is too quick. It hops on top of the maintenance droid and lets out a flurry of sharp, needle like projectiles. They shred your suit and lodge in various internal organs. You get a blast off which slags the thing, but it’s too late.
You slump down onto the floor. Things are getting cold.
The maintenance droid starts to pick through the piles of electronics, letting out a satisfied hum.
Jerk droids is your last thought as your consciousness fades.
You have died.
