Mothership Monday: Life on Prospero's Dream
Details
Prospero's Dream is a massive space station of 8 million inhabitance. It's haphazard, disorganized, overcrowded, and deeming with hustlers and criminals of all stripes. But it's a thriving hub.
As a new recruit of the Tempest Mercenary Company you stand in a good position to bank serious credits and make powerful connections.
Life on the Dream is good - as long as you can pay. And in the end, everybody pays.
About the Scenario
Teamster Local 32819L has recently suffered an 'off-station setback'. The union cannot cover Tempest Co.'s premium rate up-front fees for an off-station 'crisis intervention', leaving rep leadership furious and threatening a station wide general strike. If they were truly as indispensable as they seem to think they are - their 'business partners' - the Golyanovo II Bratva syndicate, would have stepped in to cover Tempest fees.
Undoubtedly fed by these rising tensions, there are now reports of teamster riots taking place in Dopetown. As new Tempest Co. recruits, you've been tasked with deploying to the de-oxgenated ward and squashing this rebellion before it gets out of hand. There's a bonus bounty of 2kcr per teamster leader who is brought back to Tempest HQ for enhanced interrogation.
A successful showing here will ensure your probationary status within Tempest Co secured.
We'll be incorporating components of A Pound of Flesh as well as Wages of Sin for this series of Mothership Monday sessions

About the Table
2-5 players needed for this session.
No experience required, no preparation necessary. Character creation will be quick and pre-gens will be available. If you've got a surviving character from a previous Mothership Monday session - you're welcome to bring them back!
Play materials will be provided for anyone who needs. If you have a dice preference, Mothership is a d100 'roll-under' system.
All players are welcome. This is a LGBTQ+ friendly table. Mothership is space-horror and safety tools will be used in play.
About the Venue
We'll be playing at **Collect.gg** on US19 and 30th Ave North, St. Pete.
This is a new venue for me - so until I'm familiar with the Monday crowd, I'll arrive before our scheduled start time to secure a spot.
