Fatesight One Shot - Main Story Prelude

The one shot begins with the group all already gathered aboard a repurposed freighter, now used as a people carrier. Their employer is unknown to them, though an envoy for the employer greets them all gathered in the ships refectory.   The envoy is an Android by the name of B-1156, or BeeBee. They give the gathered group armour and weapons to use alongside whatever they already have, and give them their mission.   A long haul freighter is a suspected target for rouge agent insertion. Pirates. The freighter is manned by only artifical life forms, the group will be stashed inside, with the crew's memory of them wiped upon take off, the group are to remain in the designated zone unless the vessle is boarded or attacked.   Cut to the present, the group sat inside the ships refectory when the ship jolts - Everyone makes a Dexterity Saving Throw, DC 16 or fall over.    The ship is not under the attack of pirates, however the party do notice the robots not working thier normal jobs, and instead attack the group on sight.   The group must dismantle the robots, and regain control of the ship, and alert BeeBee - as per their mission mandate.   Inside they find and fight:

• Ascended Drones
• Ascended Workers
• Assura 13

  All of the Ascended robots are driven to kill all organic lifeforms, and attempt to infect the machines who help them.    Fighting Assura 13, the group have a hard time. Assura 13 is the 13th instance of Assura's consciousness, once called the God of War to the Precurors of Fate, now it calls itself God of Ascension, adapting to the new found technologies in the system, and using that to ascend and elevate all artifical life above orgainics.   Assura is a hard fight, but not the Prime Assura. The body is weaker, though the consciousness is the same.   In its monolouge to the group, Assura speaks to the players. Telling them it knows of the worlds beyond its own, it can see into their world, though has no intention of going there. This world is its. It is enough, and it needs saving. Attempt to stop it, and Assura will kill them.   Assura 13 was the original cargo, listed instead as scrap machine parts, it came online and Ascended all the robotic crew aboard - The Androids in the group were unaffected due to them not being logged as aboard the vessle.
