Adventure Summary - June 5th - 2010

After killing a Drakon alien in the engine room, on deck 3 at the bow of the ship, we head to the radio room in an attempt to find more Drakon aliens. We got entangled with a group of Marines on the way to the radio room, but were able to resolve the situation and head out. Faye instead goes to the upper decks of the ship to install a intergalactic interface on the electromagnets covering the ship.

We make it to the radio room, but there is nothing happening. There is an unconscious crewman with a shrill noise coming through the headphones sitting next to him. We search the room thoroughly and come upon another Dracon (who appear as having oily black skin and slanted red eyes). After talking with the alien we discover the Dracon plans and what rooms they are intending to affect (the engine room, battery room, bridge, and the electromagnetic generators themselves).

Faye emerges upon the upper deck into a green haze and makes her way to a an electromagnet to attach the intergalactic interface device. She is attacked by a Dracon wearing a Nazi uniform hidden by a white lab coat. After killing the alien, she pushes the body off the ship and finishes her work.

The group in the radio room take the Dracon prisoner back to the engine to confront the Elani aliens. After a tense situation we get them talking and discover that this Dracon is aware that everyone is caught in what appears to be an infinite loop of time, as he has died and come back to life to do the same mission over and over. The USS Eldridge seems to appear as a "Flying Dutchman" due to its partaking in the Philadelphia Experiment, blinking in and out of time cycles snatching new variables as it goes.

We resolve to try and stop the cycle by introducing new variables into the time loop. We actively search for other Dracon and are ambushed by one with MSG Bilco (Rob B) taking major damage in the attack.

We fight our way through the ambush and make it to the battery room. We find a bomb set to go off and Sten shoots it. We experience a bright flash and are sent back to our own time, in the mess hall before our briefing.

We finish breakfast and attend the briefing, glad to be home. We become part of what is called Task Force 214 and are sent to investigate a disturbance in the subterranean levels of New York City.
