Here they come! Boarding Scene in Future Tales

In our last scene, Bart Blast and YM-3 lost their Space Battle against the villainous Orlocks.  So is it game over?  Not quite, not that your ship is disabled, the enemy will attempt to board it.  This is played out through the Boarding Scene.

Continuing from the previous scene, our intrepid heroes takes their places and prepare to face their attackers.

"YM, you go first."
The doors then explode open, and (after rolling for how many), the foes appear.

"So which one of your called us ugly?"
(Both point)  "He did!"
They manage to drop one foe, but then more appear through the air lock.  This will continue until all enemy on the board are defeated or the air lock is sealed.

Seeing the danger, Bart slips around the corner, but the Orlocks follow.  I guess they weren't found of the 'slugs' comment either!
Fortunately for our heroes, I roll a Terrain Obstacle.  These occur even in these scenes.  In this instance, it's a leak which fills the ship with steam.  Bart and YM-3 pass and can see without problem.  Most of the Orlocks fail, however, and become easy targets.

Bart even drops two, one right after the other, in a row!
With the enemy distracted, Bart races to the air lock and seals it, preventing more foes from entering.

'And then there was one . . .'
The remaining foes surrenders, allowing Bart and YM-3 to interrogate him.

Tell us what we want to know, or we'll force you to watch Galactica 1980!"
During the questioning, the surviving Orlock reveals that Wurr, their leader, wants to artifact that Bart and YM-3 are seeking for himself, and he will stop at nothing to get it.  Now that they know who the Big Bad is, our heroes will no doubt watch their backs from here on.

But with the enemy defeated for now, the two can continue on their journey to the space station Harlan.

Next time, exploring the Harlan!
