Inspired by other websites, I began running Morrow again. It was very enjoyable. I ran the characters through their recruitment in the 20th century, then their awakening in year 2106. They fairly quickly made contact and became friends with a small town. They were located in the northern part of lower peninsula Michigan.

Shortly after their awakening, some farms nearby began to be raided (see the Damacles Module). The automated tanks were seen and one damaged. The undamaged tank dragged the second back to it's base. These were trailed by the party.

Communications were sent on radio bands monitored by the party, telling them to leave the area on penalty of death. This did not set well with the party, who had befriended the nearby farmers and townspeople. After long consideration, they decided to take offensive action on the Damacle compound.

The characters purchased and ran a stampede of farm animals into one side of the Damacles compound under cover of incendiary and smoke grenade fire. This was done exactly at dawn from the east side of the compound. The raid was successful with the characters riding horses close enough to fire law missile's at the towers. Luckily both law attacks were dead on and two towers were destroyed.

On the down side, one of the characters was BADLY injured, almost losing his leg below the knee. Two horses and numerous animals were killed. The dead animals were made into a very large supply of dried and frozen meat.

After somewhat recovering from their wounds (with the exception of the badly injured member), a second foray was staged a few days later. Having disabled one of the tanks and examining it, the characters had a good idea of that it was remotely controlled. The party entrenched itself outside the entrance to the compound.

Damacles eventually sent out it's functional tank to attack the party, and just as it was exiting the building, the team technician managed to jam the vehicle's remote control with ECM. The tank switched to an automated firing sequence, but was destroyed. It also blocked the entry doors. Entry was made to the compound, and the base secured with mimimal loss.

Damacles pretended NOT to have been behind the attacks, and claimed to have been remotely controlled, and to have had it's memory banks wiped when the computer room was entered.

The party, not wanting to destroy the valuable computer, It disconnected from all outside resources except power.

Damacles, before being disconnected, awakened some Snake-Eaters and ordered them to come help. The compound was taken by surprise by the Snake-Eater commando team and the morrow team was charged with assault on a government military base. They were to be executed after a summary trial.

The commando team's leader and some of the commandos were starting to take liberties with the female morrow team members. This was objected to by the second in command, Sgt Pierce, and three others, but they were sent on perimeter duty. Instead, they released the Morrow team to help them.

A fire fight ensued and the combined Morrow/Army force killed all the rest of the Army team involved in the abuse of the female Morrow members. One of the now Morrow allied soldiers was killed, and Sgt Pierce injured. Minor wounds were received by everyone else involved.

A long recovery period ensued, with the army members joining the morrow team. With their wounds pretty much healed, the team gutted the complex securing all useful equipment in their bolthole and sealing it. They then journeyed southwest. They had heard of Maxwell's Militia and were thinking of making contact. They killed some cannibles, encountered some local traders, and then met some Envoys/Scouts from the New Presidency.

Diplomatic methods were employed and an understanding was reached. They journeyed with the New Presidency representatives to meet their leaders. It was a long journey and some encounters with Krell scouts were dealt with. Once in the New Presidency, they met the President and formed an alliance. This presidency was based on descendency of Air Force Two (Vice President & the Speaker of the House).

The New Presidency had some working steam ships, two trains, and even some manufacturing (Tractor motors, Dynamite, Rifles and Revolvers.) They also had a large agricultural base, raising crops, cattle and horses. They have a good telegraph system and a scattering of working radios in the various towns. They were a stable late 1800's style society.

Eventually, the Morrow team told the President about the fusion reactor at the Damacles base, and the president sent them back to recover it -- along with 20 mounted guards/laborers, 20 extra draft horses, and a railcar sized wagon. Crates of trade goods were sent along, and the mission was a success. The Morrow Team recruited locals to help dig and blast out the reactor. (It was earlier found to be a fusion reactor based on Morrow technology so it was relatively self-contained. It had also made them realize the US government must have had some spies within the Morrow organization.)

Once removed, the reactor was hauled to the edge of Lake Michigan and some shippers were reached and paid to transport the reactor, and wagon train across to the southwest corner of the lake. This wiped out more of the trade goods. The reactor wagon was then pulled across the border of Wisconsin and Illinois to the Illinois river.

In a bold move, a barge was forcibly stolen from an ill-guarded Krell dock taken straight through Krell territory during the night to meet with New Presidency ships at the Missouri River. Some mercanaries employed by the Krell were hired away and joined them. A number of fire fights with other ships and with forces on shore occurred but with minimal loss (the barge was badly damaged but managed to make the distance when the reactor was shifted to the far side of the barge (which raised the damaged section higher in the water).

The group became heroes to the New Presidency, and the president was very happy (he was reelected for another 8 year term). The team made serious enemies in the Krells, who learned of what the team had done via agents in the Presidency (having a power reactor dragged along the edge of their territory then sailed down straight through one of their main waterways was a major blow to their leadership.)

The Maxwellians were more favorably impressed, and have entered into communication with the New Presidency. The city of New Lincoln now has an ample power supply and some power lines are being established to outlying areas.

Come spring, the Morrow team (minus it's agricultural liason), decided to return to their original bolt hole and recover the battery powered tanks and machining/smelting equipment they had recovered from Damacles. They plan to use power lines from the Morrow vehicle reactor to power the battery powered tanks and they brought with them six tractor motors along with other trade goods. (The Damacle base itself had been given to the locals who had helped in digging out the Reactor.) The secondary reason for the trip was to maintain good relations with these people.

Spring arrived and the team headed toward Michigan to complete their recovery plans. They have pretty much decided on allying themselves with the New Presidency as the most expedient was of fulfilling Project goals.

However, in route, they encountered a very heavily armed team of Krell Warriors. They managed to take them by surprise and escaped with minimal injuries. They did recover good weapons and explosives from the Krell team and also a strong box. The box was breached and encrypted computer discs were recovered.

The morrow team was later surprised when they recieved communication from another morrow team. This other team had managed to re-enable a morrow ELF style communications tower. Teaming up with this second group, the computer expert managed to break the encryption on the krell discs and found it had details on the construction of a very large secret US government base built just outside Snake-eater territory.

The Army members who had joined the Morrow people knew nothing of this base, even though their Snake-Eater (former) allies were nearby. The New Presidency also knew nothing of it.

It was decided to raid the base, for fear either the snake-eaters (whom the morrow people didn't know much of yet nor trust, considering the actions of part of the group they had encountered) or the Krell would discover it first. The trip to Michigan was postponed.

After some minor fire fights with a group of cannibals and a group of slavers, the team managed to find the base. Luckily they managed to avoid any snake-eater patrols going the long way about. As a side note, the team did encounter a university/breeder town and a party member with esper potential was convinced to stay a few days donating genetic material. Needless to say, he was a hit with the ladies of the university. Doing so helped cement future relations with the group.

The base was found after short order. It was entered, the upper levels appearing to merely be a conventional living station/bomb shelter of large size. It appeared unused, though a nice though unpowered base. Old diesel generators were rusted beyond repair.

However, due to the stolen krell files, team knew there was more to the base than there appeared. They eventually discovered a sealed security area leading to an elevator going straight down a full two hundred feet. There would be no digging out this area.

They came to a series of blast doors, securing the area. They found this odd, as the blast doors normally would be further toward the surface. Dave, the engineer, noted that the doors were dual purpose - to contain blasts from the inside also. They are trying to figure out how to get past the doors. They suspect they may need a very powerful laser and power lines from their vehicle reactor.

This is the current location of the team.
