A Call from the Void
*Your squad mounts and begins their warm-up procedures, causing vibrations throughout the room. Mech cores ignite one after another, their sequential reverberations sending creaks through the hull. The ship, ill-suited to support such titanic engines, gives a reluctant shudder as the lights flicker and the propulsion stutters.
Minutes later, a soft thump and muffled hiss inform you that you’re entering the atmosphere, the Parnassus sundering the air above Caduceus. Remy's voice crackles over the squad net, "Stand by... Compensating controls established, on approach vector. Prepare for landing."
The approach smooths out momentarily before violently veering to the side. Howling winds force their way through the opening bay doors, nearly eclipsing the din of distant munitions. As you watch the grass blur by beneath you, Captain Fairhaven shouts over the radio.
"It's too hot, you'll need to jump! We'll hold it steady as long as we can!"*

Beneath the Static is a third-party structured mission module for the Lancer RPG system. With a full-length mission and 6-8 hour run time, Beneath the Static functions as a standalone story arc or as a supplement to be incorporated into an ongoing campaign. This module follows three to five LL2 characters as they respond to a distress signal from a terrestrial colony, though the pilots will soon discover not all is as it first appears.

Please feel free to use this thread for any questions, comments, and feedback, and feel free to ping me directly if I can be of assistance. Beneath the Static does feature a major twist mid-mission; while I expect most people frequenting this thread will be GMs or others with access to the mission materials, out of respect for your fellow players I would request that you use the ||spoiler tags|| for any major reveals that may inadvertently affect the fun of other players.
