It's no more moral to drive on the left side of the road than on the right--but it is essential to achieve local consensus. Laws against perjury have a moral basis, but laws about timing of lawsuits do not. In fact, history as well as science fiction is replete with laws that have an _immoral_ basis, from laws regulating slavery and Nazi racial laws to, I suspect, the endless Federation statutes that put everyone at a more or less chronic risk of endless prison terms or summary execution. -(Y) PS--I have been asked to clarify: Wolfram & Hart represents SCUMM.

For those of you unfamiliar with it Pass Notes takes a tongue-in-cheek look at things or people who are in the news in on way or another. Most of it consists of teh usual 'humourous' commenst about wobbly effects and 70's fashions, but it does mention the up and coming films as well. Hey - I suppose any exposure is good exposure. I'm not sure if it's worth buying the whole paper for but if you see a stray copy lying around then have a read.

The last post detailed the general background and characters, this one starts at the first adventure. Hope you find it interesting. More role-playing stuff - I did warn you! :) The game started out on the planet Hastin. Hastin is an independent world in Sector 7, outside of Federation control. The planet has a couple of medium sized landmasses and a great deal of ocean. The main settlement area is on the Northern Hemisphere and contains the capital Hastin City. One of the central features of Hastin City is a large scientific research complex. The city also contains an administration centre, a busy spaceport and a vibrant criminal fraternity. As Hastin is outside Federation control is attracts many criminals and smugglers looking to offload goods or hide from pursuit. As this brings necessary revenue into the city the authorities largely ignore it and so the respectable and the criminal live happily side by side. Also on the main landmass is a series of ruins indicating the presence, at one time, of an alien civilisation on Hastin. These ruins are only now being uncovered and, as of yet, have not been properly investigated. About eight months before the start of the game scientists working at the research complex discovered high concentrations of a valuable mineral in solution in the sea water and work was started on a series of water treatment plants to extract and process the mineral. As a result of this Hastin is beginning to become much wealthier. Prior to this discovery the Federation were happy to leave Hastin alone, it was of no strategic value and there was nothing there that they wanted. The discovery of the mineral deposits has however changed this. The game starts with the characters of Felix, Brennan, and Issac already on Hastin: Brennan has been on the planet for six months and has been working at the research centre, putting his medical knowledge to good use. He has worked extensively with Dr Daris Morstan and has gained her respect and affection. Turing this time a Federation Pursuit Ship has crashed on the surface of the planet and a badly damaged Mutiod (Maya) has been rescued from the wreckage. Brennan and Daris have worked together on reconstructing her and now, with her programming wiped, she works with them at the research centre. Also working closely with them is Pletrac. Brennan is happy here on Hastin and believes that he might, finally, be able to put his recent past behind him. Issac has been on the planet for about six weeks and is working as a mechanic at the spaceport. He has a history of petty criminal activities and, although he has never been caught, he is eager to stay one step ahead of the Federation. Felix is a trader and occasional smuggler. He has been on Hastin for about three days. He was smuggling a cargo for a contact when he was attacked by a Federation Patrol. He managed to escape but his ship was badly damaged and so he made his way to Hastin to get it repaired. Brennan has gained the enmity of a member of base personnel, Dr Maric, who resents Brennan's rapid acceptance and the position that he has gained. He has learnt that Brennan is a cybersurgeon on the run and, having listened to Federation reports, believes him to be Lurgen, for whom the Federation is searching. Maric is a secret supporter of the Federation and believes that they are a force for good and order. He contacts them and reports 'Lurgen's' whereabouts. The (supposed) presence of a wanted man on Hastin gives the Federation the excuse they need to invade. The attack occurs at dusk, Federation ships arrive in the atmosphere and begin to drop gas canisters, troops disembark from the ships and begin throwing gas grenades and clubbing citizens to the ground. The game proper begins for the players when their characters recover consciousness locked in a laboratory at the research station. Along with them are the three prominent NPCs Dr Morstan, Maya and Pletrac. They begin to interact with each other and try to find a way out of their predicament. The Federation forces, under the command of Major Beloc, broadcast to the planet, demanding to know the whereabouts of Lurgen. (This caused some interesting role-playing amongst the group, as they knew that Brennan was a cybersurgeon (Dr Morstan mentioned it) and only had his word for it that he wasn't the man that the Federation were looking for.) The Federation then imposed martial law and a curfew and allowed the planet's inhabitants to (mostly) go about their business. The characters rapidly escaped from the lab and, with a little help from Maya, managed to overpower a couple of guards and get their uniforms and guns. (I have found it very useful to have a fully combat-trained NPC in a group who mostly can't shoot straight to save their lives. To be fair though they are getting better. Slowly.) They then left the compound (after a brief, and surprisingly non-violent, confrontation with Dr Maric, during which he revealed that he had called the Federation.) and began searching for information and for a way off the planet. They managed to find out some information from a group of construction workers in a bar and rapidly realised that the Federation was never going to leave Hastin alone and so the best thing for them to do was leave. Felix and Brennan broke into the spaceport compound, leaving Issac (disguised as a guard) patrolling the outside. This led to an amusing moment when Issac was approached by a commanding officer who spoke to him at length about a small group of prisoners who had escaped from the Research Centre. J Felix inspected the damage to his ship and realised that it wasn't in a fit state for them to escape in and so they had to steal another. Felix was left to make the decision about which ship to take (he is the pilot after all.) whilst Brennan checked out a workshop as a suitable hiding place and gathered the other characters together. Once there Issac set about adapting a couple of communicators to work on a different frequency from the standard Federation one and Pletrac began making some primitive and powerful explosives. I presented Felix with a choice of four ships which was really no choice at all. The first was a Federation Pursuit ship - fast, well armed and powerful it was also far too small for all six characters. The second was a cargo vessel - plenty of space for all of the characters and very inconspicuous, it was also old, slow and poorly armed. The third was an expensive personal vessel - sleek, fast and luxurious it was also only lightly armed and would have been a bit cramped for all of them. The final ship (and the one that I wanted them to go for) was Major Beloc's command cruiser! (I was using Sleer's command cruiser from Animals etc as a model for this.) It was ideal for them - plenty of space, fast and well armed. The only drawback was it conspicuousness. Hey ho - you can't have everything. J The characters formulated a plan to steal Beloc's Command Cruiser, the Icarus. This involved planting a series of explosives underneath some nearby (by not too nearby!) Pursuit Ships in order to provide a diversion and cut down the potential pursuit, using some of Felix's undelivered cargo of weapons (some gas grenades) and infiltrating the ship in Federation uniform. Felix also wanted to transfer his cargo from his ship to the Command Cruiser, as he was committed to delivering it after escaping from Hastin. It was also decided to blow up the wreck of Felix's ship as this would add to the confusion and make it more difficult for the Federation to identify Felix. The crew split up in order to carry out the various stages of the plan. Unfortunately upon returning to the workshop that the group were using as a temporary base Brennan found Pletrac unconscious and Beloc waiting for him. Beloc rapidly realised that Brennan wasn't Lurgen but recognised him from Federation wanted briefings, (The Federation is very keen to get Brennan back and use his research into artificial telepathy in order to create a group of telepathic undercover agents. He is listed as a highly wanted felon.) and realised that arresting Brennan would almost certainly get him a commendation. They talked for some time (in the best tradition of villain/hero confrontations.) before a shot rang out and Dr Morstan appeared at the top of the stairs aiming a gun at Beloc. (She had been upstairs dozing when Beloc had entered the workshop and having been woken up by his conversation with Brennan had been waiting for the right moment to affect a rescue. The mental image of a plump, respectable and slightly matronly scientist armed with a Federation weapon and righteous indignation appealed to me! Think Hattie Jaques from the Carry On films with a big gun…) Between them she and Brennan tied Beloc up and waited for the others to return. Felix, Brennan, Maya and Issac then boarded the Federation ship and attached the gas canisters to the shipboard ventilation system and gassed the remaining crew. Unfortunately a couple of Mutiods were unaffected and so a short firefight occurred, which the characters won with only minor injures. Pletrac and Daris then joined the other characters on the Icarus, taking Beloc with them as a hostage. Issac and Felix then transferred the cargo from Felix's crippled ship onto the Icarus. Well, actually they took advantage of their stolen Federation uniforms to order a couple of technicians to do it! It was then time for a goodbye. Daris announced that she wouldn't be going with them and that she was intending to stay on Hastin and form a resistance group to fight the Federation occupation. Whilst most of the characters weren't too bothered by this Brennan, who had formed an emotional attachment to Daris during the time they had worked together, was rather upset and an emotional moment ensued. (I love my role-players - not afraid to shy away from genuine emotional moments!) Pletrac (my NPC) was also rather upset at the separation. Unfortunately the bodies of the unconscious crewmembers that the characters had dumped, in what they thought was a secure place, outside the Icarus, were found and the alarm raised. Troops began to move towards the Icarus. Felix and Maya began pre-flight checks and fired up the engines whilst Brennan ('I'd forgotten how much I hate space travel.') and Issac secured Beloc and then strapped themselves. Meanwhile Pletrac used his radio transmitter to blow up the pre-planted bombs, thus causing chaos in the compound and badly damaging two Federation Pursuit Ships. The Icarus then took off, swiftly followed by two of the remaining Pursuit Ships. During the confusion, Daris who had been watching events from hiding slipped out of the compound and went to start forming local resistance. The Icarus quickly cleared the atmosphere and turned to face the Pursuit Ships. A space battle ensued with Felix maneouvering the ship and Maya operating the weapons and forcewall. The Icarus was victorious, although it sustained some damage, and the two Pursuit Ships were destroyed. The crew then debated what to do next, of particular concern was what they should do with Major Beloc. Felix was keen to deliver his cargo of arms and the others had no real ideas either way and so it was agreed. After a short stop off on the next planet out from Hastin (an uninhabited, icy planet) to check the damage to the ship and drop off Beloc, (the characters decided that they didn't want to kill him (they're too nice by far) and that leaving him to be found by his subordinates with a homing beacon and some food would be a better solution. They also believed that allowing him to live would make him think more favourably of them after they stole his ship. How wrong can one group of people be??!) The Icarus set off for the jungle planet Carsis where they were to deliver a cache of arms to a group of rebels led by a woman called Avalon…. And that's the first scenario. It might not sound like much but at the rate that we play it did take us several weeks to finish. (We only play once a week from 7:30 - 10:30, not everyone arrives on time and we do spend some time chatting about what we have been up to since the previous week before we start.) Also, of course there was a great deal of detail and character interaction that I have skimmed over in an attempt at brevity. The next post will detail events on Carsis. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 16:08:15 +0100 (BST) From: Judith Proctor To: Lysator List cc: Freedom City Subject: [B7L] Avon's Ultraworld Costume Message-ID: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Avon's costume from Ultraworld is up for sale.

It's not that long so here goes: Blake's Seven =========== AGE: Born 22 years ago, killed off at the age of three. APPEARANCE: Characterised by 70s superflicks, rayon costumes with triangular applique motifs and wobbly bacofoil sets. STATUS: Deeply silly space series about seven freedom fighters resisting an evil federation that has seized control of earth and its colonies, controlling them through sedative drugs and fear. I LOVE GRITTY, REAL-LIFE DRAMA. TELL ME MORE. Roj Blake, the impressively quiffed leader, commanded the septet's space vessel, the Liberator. AND WHO WERE THE SEVEN? Well, there's Jenna, the Farrah Fawcett-lookalike pilot; maverick computer technician Avon; Vial, a cowardly thief; big, stupid Gan; and Cally, a telepath from the planet Auron. THAT'S ONLY SIX. Well, I've never really counted Zen, the on-board computer. NEXT YOU'LL BE SAYING TIMMY THE DOG WASN'T REALLY ONE OF THE FAMOUS FIVE. Don't be silly, everyone knows Timmy was a canine replicant accidentally transmogrified while visiting from the planet Zorg. HOW DID THEY MEET THEIR END? FROWNING IN SOME OF AVON'S FOAM BATH LOTION? No, that old dodgy sopa staple, the hail of bullets. Motionless corpses leaving addicts on tenterhooks as to which characters would survice. BUT SURELY NONE OF THEM SURVIVED? Not unless you count the afterlife of Soolin, aka actor Glynis Barber, as one half of 80s cops Dempsey and makepeace. And Gareth Thomas the actor behind Blake, is set to play David Baddiel's father in his forthcoming series on Sky. SO THERE IS A HEAVEN? Well, there certainly may be a resurrection. Prompted by the serie's continuing popularity on cable, the producers have announced they are to make a new movie for TV, and possibly another series. SURELY NOT ENOUGHT TO LURE BLAKE AWAY FROM BADDIEL? There is no news as yet on whether Thomas will reprise his role, but Paul Darrow, who played Avon, is expected to be back with a foaming vengeance. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH: The Birmingham Six. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 14:49:49 EDT From: Prmolloy@aol.com To: Blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: Re: [B7L] Avon's Ultraworld Costume Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Julia- Loughborough wrote: > I would love to own a bit of B7, but don't have that kinda chash right > now....am I the only one that feels that costumes like this should not be > worn and kept as 2nd hand from the show.....it's not the same if people > have worn it since...maybe that just me....
