Session 1: At Least It's Not Cardiff
Location: Shuttle
Ire, John, Dealer, Anyata, Phirax, Chad, and Megumi land in London to investigate why Mavericks attached the ocean column. After doing some investigating, they find some workers in a bar and the team tries to use Anyata's looks to woo the men into talking, only to find they enjoy Phirax's attentions so much more. The information leads them to a platform facility, where Ire had already decided to check. Heading in, they uncover 5th Column spies and fighting breaks out, a greande killing Chad. While the team is gripped in shock and horror, Anyata leaps after the only target not killed in retaliation, into the ocean.

Null is nearly killed when she catches an exploding coconut and fails to do anything with it, covered in a sticky substance. Elayne shows off her dragon form in a fit of mischeif, leading her to have to explain that she's not human to Blue, who doesn't seem to know Lunarians. Null's actions lag as well as her reactions to news, worrying the team.
Elayne and Katrina compare notes on the way, deciding that Möbel, the company front for the operation is just a sham for Senreich, the team gets to know one another as they sneak along. They proceed to sneak into the base first by sneaking on a truck-bot, having to leap out as a pile of trucks are dumped out of it, Elaye flies up to avoid damage and accidentally alerts some guards. They rush for a back door to enter before trouble occurs.
Session 3: Springtime for Nazis
Location: The Rainforest
Iceheart's group takes down some guards who come to investigate, Null taking a shot as she learns these particular Mavericks use bullets instead of energu. Using Elayne's tiny form to scout, she spots some guards and rushes back to tell the others. Null, who chooses to be loud and chatty instead of quiet, alerts the guards and gives them even further warning by yelling out and attacking one as they get close. A quick fight breaks out, then Proto decides to celebrate by trying to mate Elayne. This causes a moment of pause when they realize Proto is a lesbian.
The group moves along, winding up debating on such matters as the dragonishness of Lunarians, Null being able to remember Katrina's name, and Cole wanting to tune them all out. Coming upon more guards, Katrina uses her Psionics to stun them while Elayne and Cole take them down, Null commentates. Blue kills them afterwards, much to Elayne's distaste. They finally reach a control room filled with Nazi Soldiers, and a man wearing a monocle, who is clearly in charge as he has a monocle. The team battles the Nazi's, when down to the last one, Cole tries to cleverly teleport behind him to dodge a shot, taking two shots in the back when Katrina and Iceheart try to peg the attacking soldier.
They recover a ton of intel from the computers while Cole howls like a baby over wounds. Iceheart moves after the dastardly Monocoled Man and hen the rest arrive after her, find her down and Monocle in a mecha suit like Hitler in Wolfiestein.

During the bloody fight Dias and Slasher are killed, Even placed in critical condition. Hotaru and Em are killed in the crossfire as well, nearly breaking John.

Null pulls all the wired on the bomb at once, which prevents it from activating, saving the day. The groups recover their dead, Elayne and Sera moving about and acting as the team medics like they once served.
