| The Fafnir Alpha Oil Rig, out in the middle of the North Sea. |
 |
| Things are going poorly on Fafnir! The workers have gone on strike, and have acquired an array of high tech weapons and gear. Corporate troubleshooters have arrived to put the riot down. |
 |
| Waiting in the wings, the corporate heavy Lionel ready to bring the boot down on the rebels, with his loyal ('broken') helicopter pilot on standby. |
 |
| Fuzzy visual from the far building shows the pair of ISIS spies (allegedly Sterling Archer and Lana Kane) on the search for some highly sensitive intelligence hidden somewhere on Fafnir. |
 |
| My character, the dastardly man of a million faces, the super spy and brilliant industrial saboteur 'The Rook' convened with his minions. The Riot should keep everyone occupied. Get the data- and get off the platform. |
 |
| Of course nothing is that simple. Unattended by striking employees, an industrial experiment in super nutrient rich algae broke loose becoming the horrific Vegimate... and it hungers for delicious protein! |
 |
| My roster. The Rook and his minions fomented the strike, arming the workers in the hopes that they'd cause enough damage to hide his true purpose on the rig. The poor fools thought that he was actually doing it to help THEM! |
 |
| Orange jumpsuited striking workers, augmented by assault weapons and robots surge towards the landing pad to engage the hated troubleshooters. |
 |
| The Rook, in his guise as a Rig Administrator, jumped down to grab a piece of intel from under his pawn's noses, keeping one spy close while the other runs off to the center tower to hunt down more pieces of intel. |
 |
| Slow and ponderous, the Vegimate pulled itself back and forth- almost protecting one of the pieces of intelligence. Why? Who could know? |
 |
| With the beast distracted for a moment, one of the spies climbs the tower heading for a forlorn piece of intel, hoping that the rival forces below would be too distracted to turn their attentions on him. |
 |
| Still in his guise as an administrator, the Rook hunkers down in cover behind a pair of pawns, hoping that those suspiciously red barrels don't happen to be full of flammable materials. |
 |
| Sterling and Lana watch as a pair of company scientists slip onto the helicopter with every intention on escaping. Lana opens fire on them, and kills the pilot. |
 |
| Attracted by the gunfire, the Vegimate watches as the two scientists are forced to bail out as the helicopter starts to list along the side of the rig, corporate troubleshooters firing back at the spies. |
 |
| The Rook's second spy takes position at the Vegimate's corner, eyes peeled on that elusive piece of intel just sitting- open for anyone brave enough. |
 |
| The second spy watches from above, starting his climb down even as the Vegimate decides that going over boxes towards gunfire would take much longer than chomping on some (practically) unarmed minions. |
 |
| Some success! The scientists get out of the helicopter, the heli-pad coming under heavy fire from the ISIS agents and the (comically inaccurate) rig workers. |
 |
| Climbing down and- oh no! This thing apparently can extend it pseudopods up farther than anyone could guess. Our good spy is totally trapped! |
 |
| Looking across the firefight, the Rook watches as the helicopter makes its way along the rig. An idea formed... |
 |
| ... and suddenly he was sprinting through the combat, dropping his administrator disguise as he did so. |
 |
| Looking at the foreman of the rig-workers, the devious Rook delivers a damning one-liner "Rook takes Knight" before leaving the man and his workers to their fate. |
 |
| Getting to edge of the platform the Rook leaped... |
 |
| ... before successfully landing in the pilot's seat! |
 |
| The Rook, dastardly villain and super spy he was, wasn't a pilot. The helicopter plunged towards the ocean and he had to try to save it. With two available re-rolls he failed the first two attempts... |
 |
| Before finally the Rook's luck held out, keeping the helicopter from plunging into the water and certain death. Securing his escape, the Rook escaped the rushing freezing North Sea and the growing monster on the oil rig- thus winning the game! |
 |
| And thus the 'episode' came to end. How will Archer and Lana escape the rig? Will the Vegimate die on the rig, or run free in the ocean below? Where will the Rook strike next? Next time on 7TV! |
Fab!
