FG: Go 12:"Even Older School Revisited"

[Ljube]

The Woman and the Machine


Through skillful dealings Professor Morrisa acquired a remote control unit MS-35 used for initial sequencing of Colony I mainframe. In spite of its sentience, Colony I maintained part of control code necessary for receiving orders through MS-35 unit which in effect gave Professor Morrisa control of all units following orders of Colony I. Having gained this enormous power, Professor Morrisa in her characteristic shrewdness targeted the biggest prize in the galaxy - the Ventis Societies.


Colony I and Professor Morrisa attack! Zol Ventis

Colony I: 10LD, 7LB, OoB: MLL-TTF, close in, spread out, attack whoever is there, fight to the death
Professor Morrisa: 32LF, 7FF, 2TF, OoB: MLL-TTF, close in, spread out, attack whoever is there, fight to the death
Allied total: 10LD, 7LB, 32LF, 7FF, 2TF, OoB: MLL-TTF, close in, spread out, attack whoever is there, fight to the death
Zol Ventis: 6TT, 5TB, 1FC, OoB: MTT-FLF, back off

[Ljube]

Unlike Ivan von Kristof, Zol Ventis backed off, but it was simply not enough. His fleet was swept away in the first three waves and Zol Ventis was eliminated.

Betrayal was at work here, or cunning. The two rogues counted on the presence of a third person here. If that third person had showed up, in spite of their poorly chosen OoB the allies would have won.

Perhaps that third person wondered what would become of him afterwards. Perhaps he worried that he too may be robbed of some of his wealth when doing business with two scoundrels.

I believe that the identity of a no-show attacker is a piece of information traditionally disclosed by the GM. There's nothing in the rules on it, it's just precedent. I won't complain, but I am intrigued.
