Rifts One Shot I'm doing

Unread post by Tigerman543 »

Using Rifts Underseas book with one shot idea inspired by Star Trek and SeaQuest.(Other Books used as it takes Aliens Unlimited and Atlantis books to get modern bows and high tech arrowheads for instance.)

The Team is Made up of Security, Medical, Science, Navigation /Cook, Engineering and Ops.(Maybe Adding Magic Specialist becuse thinking Whale singer)

An introduction into Rifts using something familiar as the New Navy and Tritonia field secret teams of the best for mutual aid and cooperation if they ever become a united organization.

This is the Intro into the Adventure as I am currently putting together the team. So far a Navy SEAL and a Wilderness Scout

Rifts one shot: Forgotten Hope

This one shot is an introduction into Rifts and MDC plus the Palladium system.

The books are Rifts Underseas, Rifts Ultimate Edition, Atlantis, Mercenaries, Rifts Chaos Earth, Triax and the NGR, Sourcebook one. Book of Magic and Game Masters Guide.

The New Navy/Tritonia and Team Introduction.

You are seated in a briefing room. Captain Nemo enters as you stand up. He stands behind a podium as the lights dim as you sit down.

" Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know the Rifts have changed much of our lives. Over Two hundred years ago." A screen behind the captain showing the North American Seaboard on fire. Tidal waves destroying cities with earthquakes and Blue energy lines lighting up in the setting sun." Things we could never have imagined happened. We survived and we are what is left of America or Survivors of the old world."

" The New Navy Has Survived by Being Independent and resourceful. We have learned the hard way to know who we can rely on." The Sea Titian Captain Nemo looks forever young. Yet his eyes speak of experience and hardships.

" Your team will be investigating a signal a few miles from Guam island. It's a old signal and Fleet command has identified it as NEMA."

"It originates a mile down as what we find could be invaluable. NEMA had very state of the art equipment. They had the best personnel and equipment."

" Each of you were selected for this mission as you are the best in your fields. Satellites are still non responsive and one of our expedition vessels picked it up."

" The U.S.S. Nimitz II will get you about twenty miles in as you will take a T-28 Mini Sub to the signal then investigate to ascertain if it's the real thing."

"You will likely run across something and a submarine will be standing by in case you need rescue."

" We want to make sure this is not a trap as Fleet Command knows it's a coded channel but a chance exists that it could have been picked up."

" A Helicopter is Standing by with your equipment loaded,A Briefing Packet is waiting for each of you,Good Hunting."

The Team(Team Zulu) Has been working together for a few years now. The New Navy and Tritonia have fielded a few of these secret teams together in mutual cooperation. Drawn from the best from military and civilian experts.

The Gathering Project, it's Highly Classified as in only Fleet Command and The Administrators actually know about the Special teams.

They have bonded closely as the team has taken down pirates and pirate strongholds. Including Splugorth Slavers and minions.

Team Navigator/Cook
After Exploring Refuge Base then several excursions on the surface he learned everything he could from experts on cooking and pathfinding.

The New Navy hired him to teach survival training to recruits. His cooking talents have impressed chefs and the fact he catches his own ingredients.

Navigating hazards has become second nature. So it was his skills that got him a spot on the team and his knack for finding ways through land or sea is impressive.

Medical
After eight years in the Coalition States military (96 P.A.-105 P.A.)she resigned her Commission when free Quebec was attacked. Mechanoids and Juicer Uprising gave her more combat experience than expected.

She runs a small medical clinic in Tritonia as it has become her new home. Still wary of Monsters but gave up prejudices on Human looking D-Bees and Amphibians(Some Mutants).

She doesn't speak much about her time in the C.S or in her words " Another Place and Time, not important."

Her rescue aboard a ship heading to Europe has been lucky for Tritonia. Her knowledge of Land and Medical skills plus her ability to fight makes her a worthy ally.

I know right :bandit:

I got two more Pre Made Characters Before i fill in the rest of the Adventure. People are welcome to use the Adventure and roll up their own Characters or use existing ones.

This should help DMs introduce Rifts and Palladium in a fun easy way. These characters can be used as NPCs in a Rifts Underseas Campaign. (NGR and Coalition are starting to take interest in the seas as well)

Engineering
Growing up at Refuge Base he learned all he can from his Father and Grandfather. As a young man he spent time with them repairing or modifying machinery.

He is a Civilian however thus has over 200 years of family tradition passed down to him in the New Navy.

A legacy he tries to uphold as many have achieved greatness. His team has praised his skills and understanding machines many times.

Danny Wong Alignment:Principled SDC:27 HP:24
Disposition:He's his happiest when modifying or building something new. He tends to talk to his machines like they were people. Especially when things look bad. Otherwise he is normal.

As a Robot Mechanic this means he can create Mods and Maximize performance. Even create new experimental tech or add on Alien tech at a penalty or weapons. It cannot be done out in the field. It needs a workshop and time. Limited Time and Parts before the mission means no major upgrades or overhauls or experimental technology)

Operations(OPS)
Growing up living in a fishing village they lived as ancestors did before Coming of the Rifts. The Lord of the Deep changed all that when a Reacher of the Deep took half the village.

He vowed to defeat this monster as his mother and sister were among those taken. A Cyber-Knight investigating the area took on the pleading youth.

Arriving on Tritonia he has become something of a legend. Fighting evil of all sorts. He has taken on two apprentices and devoted himself to the team as they might reveal more on the Lord of the Deep.

Player Notes:Abby's Clinic(Tritonia) This Space has been given to Abby. It's a High Tech Medical clinic and Animal Care Center.

It is two floors high as the first floor is for Animals both Aquatic and Land/Air. Second Floor is for Normal People not anyone is Supernatural.

She has nothing against them but she doesn't know how to treat them. Send them to others capable of doing so.

Her friends salvaged equipment or restored things most thought were broken. An Elevator goes to the second floor.

Her two Assistants see to it that everyone is taken care of when she is away. Abby is trying to upgrade her Medical Center as parts come from all over through trade or salvage.

Harold Uses his own quarters for his listening station. His two Apprentices see to it that they listen in on radio traffic.

Danny has access to most New Navy Workshops and He has his own on Refuge Base. U.S.S. Ticonderoga allows him to use workshops when consulting for the Fleet.

Forgotten Hope

Before the Coming of the Rifts projects across the globe seemed to be common. One such project was The Fathom Project. Under the Ocean a dream was built with Dreamtech/Cyberworks/NEMA.

Located off the Coast of Guam a city of the future was built a mile down. Dreamtech was well known for its global products in military and commercial work in housing,shipping and artificial realistic environments.

It bought out E-Tech, a big time sea product company to build its most ambitious project yet.

Cyberworks(See Sourcebook one) was contracted to use automated robot's to construct this prototype.

A.R.C.H.I.E.-X created to manage the robots built over ten years. N.E.M.A. Contracted to have a base built as well as a scientific ocean research center and rescue center.

Six months after it opened the coming of the Rifts changed everything. Dreamtech had 30% of its new city filled and it was the wealthy or scientists.

December 22nd 2098
A Rift opened that brought demons, monsters and underwater creatures. Guam was wracked by earthquakes, tsunamis and monsters.

A Giant Figure about 100 feet tall stepped through the Rift as it unleashed death with its eye beams that shattered half of Guam in a single attack!

It was driven back through the Rift by demons and underwater monsters. It's second eyebeam attack took out ships on the surface damaging the city and NEMA Underwater Research Station.

The Battle on the surface was as fierce as the U.S. Navy ships who were doing training exercises. Rescued those who they could,evacuating any still alive.

None of the Navy Ships survived. The Underwater city was the safest place and everything went silent once the satellite feeds had been cut.

The City had no name yet as it was up to the Residents. Bolstered by the survivors from Guam. It became the Forgotten City.

Forgotten City
Three Domes make up this city that has survived Earthquakes, Rifts and Sea Monsters.

They harvested sea life in submarines until about 90 years years ago. The Lord of the Deep began to take subs then they moved fishing grounds only to get caught in a Rift mutating humans into monsters.

A Cult of the Deep was born and the Human Survivors closed themselves off into a single dome.

N.E.M.A. Base had been repaired and A.R.C.H.I.E. -X kept things from falling apart.

Desperation and Hunger started to set in until a savior appeared. A.R.C.H.IE.-X arrived with robots to save the humans and became the leader of the Forgotten.

The NEMA Scientists and Rescue Personnel under Commander Forthright went into cryo sleep.

The Realization that they would never see land again. Nor did they have supplies to last that long.

The NEMA Base Hidden in Coral and Rock sat undiscovered for hundreds of years.

A.R.C.H.I.E.-X the Story of Experimental Artificial Intelligence. Unlike its brothers A.R.C.H.I.E.-X has a computer personality based on the Brilliant Oceanographer and Scientist Doctor Samuel Carver.

It learns like people do only more quickly and most importantly its programming urges it to learn things it likes.

In this case what Dr. Carver found it interesting. Thus prompting A.R.C.H.I.E.-X to learn along a path that Dr Carver followed.

Breakthroughs in Hardware and Software allowed for this. Science and Robotics had been quickly learned. A.R.C.H.I.E.-X loved the discovery of new species.

The Rifts changed everything as he grappled with the new challenges and he was put in charge.

The NEMA team in cryogenic sleep left defending humanity to A.R.C.H.I.E.-X.

A Small Robot Manufacturing plant allowed him to create and design robots for underwater exploration and repair.

A.R.C.H.I.E.-X kept the humans safe till the Lord of the Deep stole them and Mutants arrived to form cults.

Building a body he Transferred himself over then he and his robots left the NEMA Underwater Emergency and Science Center.

He is the Savior that saved humans and It's what everyone calls him now. His Robots detected a ship and now more than ever they need help.

Sending a coded transmission poses risk but doing nothing will doom everything he's protecting.

Following The Breadcrumbs
Others have heard this call as well as Splugorth have Dispatched pirates and teams to investigate.


Team Zulu and the Nimitz Battlegroup
The U.S.S. Nimitz II
The Players will have time to prepare for the Mission. However nothing more than a week of prep.

The U.S.S. Nimitz Battlegroup protects the Pacific Ocean as the last remains of the 5th Fleet.

The New Navy Discovered the Nimitz II and its escorts nearly a hundred and fifty years ago.

The Nimitz had been refurbished before the Rifts. Retrofitted with state of the art technology and using it as a testbed for carriers of the future.(The Coming of the Rifts Destroyed all information. Plus the Navy updating its current carriers as they are wreckage now.)

It had been at sea during trials when the Rifts came. U.S.S. Nimitz II has been home to its crew and the Battlegroup formed out of what was left of the Navy.

U.S.S. Nimitz II is not as Advanced as the U.S.S. Ticonderoga but it has survived due to the Upgrades.

U.S.S. Nimitz II (Modified Aircraft Carrier)

Has a few features unique to it. The entire ship can become a Hydrofoil making it the fastest surface carrier ever.(120 Mph)

It has special iris hatches for Launching Power Armor or one man subs on the sides of the ship.

The front of the ship has been redesigned as a Sub Pen. Allowing Patrol Boats,Tanks, Small Subs and Divers to launch into the water. Perfect for amphibious operations.

It uses all Aircraft, Subs, Boats and Robots Common to the New Navy,Tritonia and Iron Heart Armaments.

It has 4 Cruise Missile Pod Launchers(8) (Long Range Any Type)Two Missiles are Housed in each one with 360 degree rotation and 90 degree elevation.

In Addition to all Standard Advanced Tech Carriers(M.D.C) in the Underseas book.

The U.S.S. Missouri is the only Battleship in the Battlegroup as it has been retrofitted with advanced weapons and armor.(Salvaged from Pearl Harbor)

The New Navy has added Subs and Patrol Boats to the Battle Group in the Pacific. Over the years. it has denied the Naut'YII as well as countless others total control.

Arrival
" The Helicopter touches down on the Carrier deck. This Carrier is an upgraded version as you had a look on approach. Lots of Activity on the deck. A young Ensign is waiting for you as is a pair of marines in armor. They are all armed"


You are taken to meet the Captain of the Nimitz. As you meet Commander Nakamura she shakes hands with each of you.

"The Mini Sub has three different models so choose one. We will have a Trident on standby in case things go bad."

" Your equipment is waiting for you below decks at the sub pen. It will take about a week to Arrive." The Captain says.

" We will forward any more information to you. I'll have quarters ready for you till you launch."

Players are shown to the Sub Pen down in the lower decks of the U.S.S. Nimitz II.

Petty Officer Third Class Yates waits for the PCs to Arrive. She will handle any requests for the Sub or Power Armor and requires payment or trade for anything that is a personal item. Weapons and Equipment armor or electronics.

Quarters are provided and it's a room with two separate beds. A TV,Desk,Chair,Small Bookcase with Pre-Rifts novels or military manuals. Intercom System and Personal Computer on desk with CD disk player. A stack of disks that are Pre-Rifts movies and games are here as well.(Yes players will be sharing a room with each other)
