Setting: Some Random City Planet

You are a member of a largish Groten family that owns a sizable manufacturing / shipping business. Your grandparents are the heads of the company and you have numerous siblings, cousins, etc. You are a little bit of an oddball, as most in the family earn stages of leader as soon as they can. Then they can participate in the wealth building apparatus that is the family’s obsession. Nevertheless, you were supported in your interests, even though you’re sure many snickered at you behind your back.

A few months ago, an elder brother warned that things were heating up with a rival company and to be careful. He convinced you to get biologically altered to have a small hidden compartment in one of your legs and then given a blaster to store there. You generally thought he was overreacting but accepted the weapon anyway.

Hostile Takeover

You’re in a café, working on your next mathematician stage when you get a predefined “BUGOUT!” signal on your comm. Of all the codes the family has ready, you weren’t expecting this one. It means a catastrophic event has happened to the family and you should flee until further communication is possible.

Along with the code you get 1000 credits and a ticket on a shuttle that’s leaving the nearby spaceport in 23.9 minutes. You estimate it will take about half that time to get there. There’s also a brief message from your brother – “Hope you survive. If you don’t get contacted again, avenge us.”

A quick scan of news outlets finds reports of your main office building under attack. Your company security seems to have been overwhelmed by a much larger force.

You’re family-wiki seems to have been cut off. And a Reptiloid with a rifle has just entered the café...

Suddenly, being 2.6 meters tall and green, with no stages of combatant, feels like a tactical error.
