Colonial Marines are paid to fight, but sometimes missions come along that require them to do a little bit more.  In this case, it was infiltration, disguised as a mercenary group.  On Oct. 14, 2179, one squad on the marine base on the planet Aerodyne in the Borodino Sector was ordered to do just that: get some dirt on a Hyperdyne executive named Winston Coombs.

Corporal Harold “Hal” MkVenner was a very handsome, solid man of 24 who had been in the Colonial Marines for about five years.  Private Andrew Simmons was neither as handsome nor as solid as MkVenner, but rumor had it that he had received an exceptional education prior to entering the corps.  The squad also included their CO, Lt. Oliver Smith; as well as Corporal Leo Brobski; Pvt. Wilson Kemps; Pvt. Michael Anderson; and Pvt. Mark Henson.

On July 30, 2010 I ran the Aliens Adventure Game as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  My players were Steve and Erik.  The scenario was “Forced Entry” by by Roman J. Andron from Challenge Magazine #62.  We didn’t finish the scenario, unfortunately, but played some time later so look forward to Part Two.  Only the two detailed characters above were pcs.  The rest were npcs to fill out the squad.
