Episode 3.07: Chapter 8: Choices of Heroes, Duel of the Fates Report

General Summary

In response to Almon D'Joy's threat, the heroes broke into three teams. One to tackle sending the warning to Dr. Simon Tam for help, the other to reach Jem Vandos and perhaps enlist his help now that Genog was now free, and the third to attack the Storm Commandos and lower the shield trapping Ole Town Sector in a haze of lethal gas.   But then, there is an old saying about the "Best laid plans of womprats and men ..."

Missions/Quests Completed

The transmission was sent to Simon Tam, warning him of the threat to Chalcedon of the infectious Tau Ceti creatures. But the Bloodsmith Raiders didn't go down without a fight as a swarm of buzz bots were deployed against Aerena to stop her. In the other direction, the actual organization that owned the ship Aerena stole - the Bureau of Ships and Services - were on an attack run to disable the ship and take her captive. Aerena short-circuited the attempt by making a deal with her aunt to negotiate with BoSS on her behalf.

The ploy worked but came at a price as the Corellian Intelligence Agency now has a copy of holorecordings and partial scans of the Tau Ceti creatures.

After a direct assault on the Storm Commandos outside Ole Town Sector, the generators were disabled and the shield emitters were hot-wired to let out a single powerful burst of ionization energy to stun anyone outside roaming through the killer gas. This stunned the free-roaming packs of drugged Reavers. Once the shield was down, the gas was pulled out with the use of Force Wind.

Jem Vandos was made aware that his champion, Genog, is now free ... which may mean the blackmail efforts against the powerful Gamesman are null and void! However, mistaking the situation when Ivan Vorpatril ( who had been disguised as Almon D'Joy ) kidnapped his disguised cousin, Danar Vorpadarn, as escaping thieves caused Jem Vandos to open a bounty hunting competition to capture them!
