Mission 80: Infinity and Beyond Part 3

Previously:

The Hunters were contacted by an unknown person calling himself Fade, hoping to learn more about the reploids and take scans of them, to create a newer model called the Mk. 2. Sending Shell there to to monitor the Hunters, Death Star and Dominator captured him and learned more about the shadowy figures of Infinity Inc.

After Dath recovered, however, he led the Hunters to an Infinity Inc. base in the rings of Saturn where they landed to discover more on the disappearance of Darien. Upon at the base, however, Fade attempted to scan then for his Mk. 2 models but Dath vanished. The virus in Death Star began to wreck havoic on him and Shell temporarily managed to take it out before he sent the Hunters on their way back to their HQ to be quarintine from Dath. But the question is: what is Dath?

[Dath] SESSION END

To Be Concluded...


The mysteries are still hanging over the heads of the Hunters as they attempt to find Darien in the Infinity Inc. base...I must say, this was rather short and probably wasn't planned by Ace but he was having troubles that day. Still a good session all around. But the problem was with this session was people from Part 3 mysterously vanished from Part 4 and people not in Part 3 mysterously appeared for Part 4. This was never explained, like how DOES Slash get off the station when he's not with the Hunters in Part 4? I guess some mysteries aren't to be solved....---- Death Star
