Complexity: Moderate
Captain Stiles watched as the reprogrammed Mark III Terminator
disappeared into the event horizon. It was done, victory in
the future would be insured by protecting the past. He smiled
at the irony that the first battle and the final battle were
one in the same.
"Sir! Sergeant Maser reports that advance elements of the
enemy force have engaged his position and are breaking through!"
Stiles studied a map for a moment, "Tell Maser to fall back to
this ridge, I'll meet him there with the rest of the company
as soon as we destroy the generator, then...."
"NOOO!", the tech at Stiles's elbow practically screamed,
"The whole area is within a Newman-Lassner Paradox Field, if
the generators stop before the temporal singularity is
resolved, then the timeline will revert back to the null-state!
Sir."
"Just give it to me in plain English."
"We have to keep the generators working until this light
turns green. If we don't, then nothing we sent back will have
ever arrived in the past."
"How long is that going to take?"
"The Newman-Lassner equations have an almost infinite number
of solutions, its impossible to predict how long the field
will take to resolve, it could be a few seconds, minutes, even
hours or days."
"Damn it! Hours, DAYS! We don't have that long, the Machines
will be here in a few minutes!" Stiles looked over his weary
men, and realized that the final battle might very well be the
last battle after all.
"Alright, tell Maser to get his men back here ASAP and take
up defensive positions in the front. Donna, take your team
and secure the processing center on the right flank. The rest
of you are with me on the left. And you," Stiles turned back
to the tech, "I want to know the very instant that light turns
green."
This is an FMA scenario for 4-7 players, who will command
humanity's last defenders, or the machines sent to terminate
them.... Some experience with FMA or SGII is recommended.
