Theyinfused him with nanites that provided him with an extraordinary array ofpowers, allowing him to accomplish missions with lethal accuracy. He wasfrequently sent to capture super-powered individuals known as psiots,many of them children. However, Bloodshotfreed himself from hisprogramming and turned on his masters, assaulting the P.R.S. facilitywhere many of the psiots were held. During the conflagration, Bloodshotliberated many psiots, but the children were separated into two groupsamid the chaos. One is led by Bloodshot, who has led them to anabandoned town in the Nevada desert. A second group led by a psiot

named Cronusand calling themselves Generation Zero has taken over theBellagio in Las Vegas.

Project Rising Spirit, however, want the psiots back, and they arent theonly ones. Toyo Harada leader of the Harbinger Foundation, which trainspsiots for a private army, has led a team of his top soldiers to confrontBloodshotin the ghost town.

Meanwhile, Peter Stancheck a former Harada pupil who had a falling-out with his would-be mentor has been sent by the enigmatic precogknown as the Bleeding Monkto save the children. He leads his Renegadeson a mission to recover them

By breaking into Project Rising Spirit, I had hoped to find out who I really am. Instead of my identity,

I found all these these kidsthat P.R.S. has kept imprisoned for God knows how long. Kids with psionic

powers, no less.

Shouldve just left them, but I couldnt. Not with them being kept under those conditions. Lockedup. Experimented on. Tortured. They might find me scary at times, but I am not a monster.

The memories in my head tell me Im an actual father, not just a surrogate one. I know theyre are

all manufactured memories. Maybe the reason I believe in these memories so strongly is because I do

have a real son or daughter out there somewherefalse memories or not.

These kids tell me I stole them all away from their parents years ago. Maybe I didDr. Kuretich

told me my mind was wiped after each mission. So I am responsible for each and every one of

them, regardless of how dangerous P.R.S. claimed they were. Theyre not dangerous. Theyre young.

Impressionable. And I need to do right by them.

Of all the bunch, I worry most about Baxter, Clem, and Kalea.

Baxter jumps at his own shadows, which is perfectly reasonable when his nightmares can become

real and run amok without him able to control them. I try not to spook him if I can help it. Thats prettyhard, considering Im scary even when I try not to be.

Kalea and Clem are pretty much inseparable. They joke about being the Puppet Master when they

work together, but theyre really effective at what they do. Kalea clouds a persons thoughts to lower

their defenses, and Clem sweeps right in and makes that person do whatever he wants. Fortunately,

my messed-up brain makes it nearly impossible for them to affect me.

Both of them offered to take a look inside my head and try to dig out my original identitythe

one hiding beneath countless years of P.R.S. memory wipes. I turned them down.

Took me awhile to figure out why I did that.

Im afraid.

Im afraid of what theyll find. What they wont find.

BLOODSHOT, PART 1: FORCED ENTRY

DEAR THOUGHT-DIARY:

Radio Communication from Dr. Emmanuel KuretichBloodshot, you dont have a lot of time. Project Rising Spirits Nevada base

doesnt know youre coming, but theyll discover your inside source before toolong. The nanites you managed to sneak into the bases system will buy you only

a limited window. You need to get in and out as fast as you can. Get past thefirst two rings of security, and youll find the Vault, the nerve center of P.R.S.swhole operation. You take that down, and youll take down these monsters that

made you into what you are.Id wish you luck, but you clearly dont need it.

Bloodshots ResolveI cant take this anymore: my heads so full of fake memories that its

empty of anything that might matter. If I can just make it to the second ringof Project Rising Spirits base and find the Vault, I can finally find the server

that will tell me who I really am. I can finally be free of P.R.S.s meddling.You ready, Goldies? Then lets do this.

3BLOODSHOT MISSION BRIEFSDerek Armstrong (order #5983480)


6/20

BLOODSHOT, PART 1: FORCED ENTRY

THE SETTINGFor Bloodshot:Hidden in the Nevada desert,

one of Project Rising Spirits primary facilities houses

a maximum security section known only as the Vault.The base itself is surrounded by a large wall crawling

with P.R.S. security outfitted in military gear.

For the psiot children: Inside the Nursery, a

part of the base that is deep underground, P.R.S.

soldiers guard all of the psiot children. A video

monitor on the wall shows an intruder in the base:

a man with stark gray skin, red eyes, and a red circle

in the middle of his chest. This is the Psiot Killer, the

weapon known only as Bloodshot.

ENEMIES/OBSTACLESThis scene begins with the players split into

two groups: Bloodshot by himself and the three

psiot children characters together in the Nursery.

The two groups will act simultaneously, but they

will remain apart until they find each other. While

the two groups are separate, each group has its own

set of Objectives (some of which overlap with the

other group).

Scene 1:Bloodshot approaches the P.R.S. base

alone. He will need to infiltrate the bases outer wall,

gain access to the main facility, and find the Vault.

The wall is monitored by P.R.S. security guards; the

guards will not attack if Bloodshot remains hidden

or disguised. The interior of the base has a body

scanner at the front of the main hallway. Bloodshot

must pass an Intelligence Challenge to locate the

scanner or he will set it off by accident. If he IDs the

scanner, he can try to bypass, disable, or destroy it

by any means, or he can purposely set it off to alert

the base that he has arrived. If he sets the scanner

off, he must make an Action roll against a bank of

six automated sentry guns protecting the hallway;

each gun has Action D8. Every failed Action roll

inflicts 2 damage on Bloodshot.

During Bloodshots infiltration, the psiot

children in the Nursery will know there is a security

situation and can see Bloodshot on the video

monitors. Since Bloodshot originally kidnapped

these children for P.R.S. back when he was still amindless P.R.S. weapon, the psiot kids are afraid of

him and should plan to stop him when he arrives.

The kids can also use Bloodshots infiltration as a

diversion to plan their escape from the facility.

Scene 2:When Bloodshot enters the Vault,

he finds the Nursery instead of the computer

servers he expected. Half of the psiot kids are

cowering from Bloodshot, but the rest are ready

to use their psionic powers on him. Members of

CHAINSAW, P.R.S.s elite force of cybernetically

enhanced soldiers, appear on the scene to contain

the situation, even if it means putting down the

kids. The kids will have to make a decision: join

Bloodshot in the fight against CHAINSAW or use

the confusion as a chance to escape.

BLOODSHOT, PART 2: THE HARADA PROTOCOL

DEAR THOUGHT-DIARY:

Radio Communication from Dr. Emmanuel KuretichBloodshot, I know youre probably not going to respond to me, but please

hear me out. I guarantee you I had no idea those psiot kids were being heldwhere the Vault should have been. I escaped from Project Rising Spirit longenough ago that they must have already shuffled things around to preventsecurity leaks like me from accessing classified information.

Once you get those kids to a safe place, we need to convene and assessour next course of action. Ill see if I cant figure out what P.R.S. did with theVault. We will find out who you really are. You probably dont remember thissince your mind has been wiped hundreds of times over the years, but I made

you a promise years ago, and I intend to keep it.



8/20

BLOODSHOT, PART 2: THE HARADA PROTOCOL

THE SETTINGAfter spending the night walking through the

Nevada desert, this tiny resort town is a welcome

sight, despite it being abandoned and falling apart.

Before Bloodshot attacked the P.R.S. base, he had

planned for this ghost town to be his fallback point.A military-grade armored car, food, and clean water

sit in a big garage near the edge of town. Wired

blocks of C4 have been placed on various buildings

around the town.

ENEMIES/OBSTACLESAt any point during this Event, Bloodshot may

spend a Narration to detonate all of the C4 he placed

around the town (he still suffers negative effects if

the Harada Protocol is in effect). The explosion rollsa D12 Action die against all NPCs; any NPC that loses

the Action roll suffers D6 damage.

Scene 1: Toyo Harada and two of his

Eggbreaker psiots arrive in the town. Harada reveals

that Dr. Kuretich has been helping him secure the

psiot children so he can take them to the safety of

the Harbinger Foundation, where they wont be a

danger to anyone.

After this revelation, Bloodshots Harada

Protocol goes into effect. The Protocol is a

programmed set of instructions P.R.S. buried sodeeply into Bloodshots mind that not even Dr.

Kuretich had known about it.

Harada Protocol: The Protocol triggers

the following effects, which will remain until

Bloodshot reboots his nanite systems (see Scene

2). Bloodshot files into an uncontrollable rage and

must spend every Narration attacking Harada.

In any Narration where he chooses not to attack

Harada, the Protocol punishes Bloodshot by

zapping his brain and dealing 3 Health (ignore

Armor). Any time Bloodshot makes a successful

Action roll against Harada, the Protocol rewards

Bloodshot by healing 1 Health. Bloodshot also

gains the Synaptic Disruption weapon (6 damage,Close OK, Near 2, Far ).

The scene ends when either Bloodshot or

Harada is Staggered or Knocked Out.

Scene 2:Both Bloodshot and Harada are in bad

shape. If Bloodshot is Staggered or Knocked Out,

he may only spend Narrations to use his Nanite

Regeneration Power to regain consciousness.

If Harada is Staggered or Knocked Out, he

automatically goes into a protective psionic bubble

to begin his recovery, and his Eggbreakers move in

to defend him.

Since the Harada Protocol endangers both

Bloodshot and the psiot children, Bloodshot must

reboot the nanite systems that forced the Harada

Protocol into effect. To trigger the reboot, he may

attempt one Intellect Challenge per Narration.

Once the Challenge has passed, the reboot will

take two Narrations to complete, during which time

Bloodshot can only use his Nanite Regeneration

Power. Until the reboot finishes, the psiot children

must fend off the Eggbreakers by themselves.Both Cloud and Headspace are old enough

to reach the pedals of the armored car (15 Armor,

Action Die D6) parked in the nearby garage.

Whoever is driving can use the cars Action die to

ram somebody (Damage D4, Close OK, Near ,

Far). If the target wins the Action roll, then the

car accidentally rams Bloodshot instead.



9/20


BLOODSHOT, PART 3: PROMISES BROKEN

DEAR THOUGHT-DIARY:

Radio Communication from Dr. Emmanuel KuretichAll right, Bloodshot. I get it. You think I betrayed you, and you dont want

to talk to me anymore. So then just listen. Those kids with you? Well, thereare more of them. Some of the psiot kids managed to steal the bases escapehelicopter, and they crashed it into the Bellagio in Vegas. If you want to protect

all of those kids from P.R.S., then youd better head to Vegas. Word is, somerenegade Harbinger Foundation students already found the kids and theyll handthem over to P.R.S. if you dont do something. So, if you dont want to see thosekids clapped in irons and trotted off to another dark dungeon like the oneyou just broke them out of, youll have to take out these renegades. So stopthinking about yourself and maybe do something a little selfless for a change.

10/20

BLOODSHOT, PART 3: PROMISES BROKEN

THE SETTINGBloodshot needs some protein to regenerate

himself after his disastrous run-in with Toyo

Harada, and the only nearby place where he canfind enough protein is a meat processing plant

Gangemi Meat Solutionsat the outskirts of a small

town. The plant itself looks ordinary, but one of the

psiot children says, This whole building is crying.

ENEMIES/OBSTACLESBloodshot retains all Armor and Health

damage he sustained in the previous Event. Until

he finds a sufficiently large supply of protein to

power his nanites, his Nanite Regeneration Powerheals only Health pips when used. His Armor pips

can still be restored by using Plot Points or items.

Scene 1: Bloodshot investigates the plant

alone, although one of the children may secretly try

to follow him. The rest will remain in the armored

car (for now).

Inside the plant, Dr. Kuretich and some

Harbinger Foundation soldiers confront Bloodshot

and claim the Harada Protocol embedded in

his brain means he is too dangerous to live. The

plant itself contains several hazards, such as largeconveyor belts, meat hooks suspended from tracks

in the ceiling, industrial meat grinders, and so on.

Dismemberment:Due to Bloodshots weakened

state, if he has no Armor remaining whenever he

suffers damage, he will lose a limb (players choice)

from that attack. If Bloodshot loses any three

limbs and is still conscious, he will gain enough

desperation to use the Synaptic Disruption weapon

(6 damage, Close OK, Near OK, Far ), which

automatically hits all targets in range (including

any psiot children with him).

When fighting starts inside the plant, Harbinger

Foundation soldiers surround the kids that are

outside. The soldiers use devices that put the

armored car on magnetic lockdown, which makes

escape extremely difficult. The kids are trapped in

the car and will need to find a way out before the

soldiers can pump the car with knockout gas. From

inside, the cars ballistic glass and doors have 10Armor. After escaping from the car, the children can

face the soldiers or follow Bloodshot into the plant.

When Dr. Kuretich is killed, the rest of the

soldiers (if any) will attempt to flee.

Scene 2:Once Bloodshot has replenished his

protein reserves from the plants livestock, all of his

damage will be restored and his missing limbs (if

any) will regenerate.

The group then drives the armored car

toward Las Vegas to find the other group of psiot

children. At the outskirts of the city, however, theU.S. military has blockaded the city: no one gets in

or out without permission. The group will need to

find a way past the blockade, either by subterfuge

or force.



11/20


BLOODSHOT, PART 4: SHOWDOWN ON THE STRIP

DEAR THOUGHT-DIARY:

Bloodshots ResolveKuretich lied to me. Tried to kill me for good. Just because I am something

he knew he would never have full control over. He used me for his own gain.Tried to put a leash on me like I was some dog to be trained. Before he died,

he said he made me a promise. My mind has been wiped so many times that Iwill never know what he meant. But that doesnt matter anymore. Hes wormfood. Hell never trouble me or these kids ever again. His master, thoughtheone pulling his stringswill be a problem.

I went into Project Rising Spirit to find my real name. To find out who Iam. Maybe I didnt find my name in the Vault, but I did discover somethingabout myself. I have to protect these kids. Theyre not exactly defenseless, butsomething deep inside tells me that if I had abandoned them, they would die.

Im walking proof that P.R.S. doesnt like to leave loose ends.Protecting these kids means ensuring they all stick together. Which means

heading to Vegas to gather up the other psiot kids that crashed into theBellagio. But the info came from Kuretich, so were all heading into a trap.

Good thing I came prepared.

BLOODSHOT, PART 4: SHOWDOWN ON THE STRIP

THE SETTINGThe Vegas Strip near the Bellagio is completely

empty and feels like a ghost town. Cars sit

abandoned. Countless fliers and other discardedadvertisements hitch a ride on the wind to flit lazily

across Las Vegas Boulevard.

A crashed helicopter with four rotors is sticking

precariously out of the Bellagios penthouse. This is

where the other group of psiot kidsnow calling

themselves Generation Zeroended up after

escaping the P.R.S. base.

ENEMIES/OBSTACLESScene 1:The group is travelling into Las Vegas

in the armored car (Armor 15, Action die D6). If

the kids mind-controlled the troops at the military

blockade in the previous Event, the group will also

have a military escort consisting of two Humvees

(12 Armor each).

While the car approaches the Bellagio on the

road, four of the Renegades (believed by the group

to be Harbinger Foundation students loyal to Toyo

Harada) try to intercept the car. The cars driver

(anyone but Baxter) may use the cars Action dieto ram somebody (Damage D4, Close OK, Near ,

Far). If the roll fails, the Renegade automatically

damages the car instead.

Renegades attempting to damage the car will

roll their Action die against the cars.

When the armored cars Armor is depleted, the

car will crash, and each occupant must pass a Might

Challenge or suffer 2 points of damage.

Scene 2:Once the car has been wrecked, the

battle against the Renegades continues on the

street in front of the Bellagio. The Renegades will

do everything in their power to prevent the group

from entering the Bellagio.

At any point in the battle (LNs discretion), a

pair of F-22s from a nearby Air Force base attempt

to eliminate the threat the escaped psiots pose.

The fighters launch missiles at the Bellagio, and the

explosion dislodges the crashed helicopter. Anyone

still on the streetplayer or NPCthat fails a Might

Challenge when the helicopter falls will suffer D6damage from falling debris.

Scene 3: After the Renegades have been

defeated or flee from the scene, Toyo Harada

(at full Armor and Health) and his Eggbreakers

will arrive to secure both Bloodshots psiots and

the Generation Zero psiots. Bloodshots Harada

Protocol does not engage this time, due to him

having rebooted his systems.

Harada is determined to steal the children from

Bloodshot. In this battle, Harada will pull no punches:every successful Action or Power roll he makes that

deals damage increases the damage by 1.

The group can choose to either confront

Harada head on or try to escape.

AFTERMATH

If Bloodshot and the psiots prevail

Bloodshot: Project Rising Spirit got it all

wrong. I didnt even need the Harada Protocol todefeat the one psiot they feared the most. An old

man is an old man, no matter what psionic powers

he uses to cover it up.

So what happens now? I dont know how to

take care of this many kids, not if organizations like

P.R.S. and the Harbinger Foundation are still out

there trying to kill or capture them

If Harada prevails

Harada:Project Rising Spirit thought they could

gather up and torture psiots for their own amusement.

Well, that ends today. The P.R.S. base here in Nevada is

a smoking ruin, and now, thanks to Bloodshot, I have

all of the children they were torturing.

I will teach these children what it means to be

a psiot. I will teach them that we alone have the

power to change the course of human history for

the better.
