CarbonEye

CarbonEye is a role playing game on TheForce.Net Role Playing Forum. It is the third in a series of games based on a peace-keeping organization called the Secret Galactic Intelligence Service, also known as MI5.

The Plot
Within the past few days, three major facilities...all on different planets...have been broken into and vandalized. Not only that, but priceless merchandise has been stolen from those facilities. Local authorities on those planets thought they could handle the situations themselves, until they realized there was a connection between the three crimes. As it turns out, there is more to these crimes than just theft... It's looking more like highly organized crime. That's when MI5 was called back into action.

The first crime scene was an old Czerka Corporation warehouse on Dantooine. The warehouse was a stockpile of weapons, mostly blasters and rifles. The guards were found dead and the weaponry gone. The whole place was cleaned out. The second crime scene was a small company on Alderaan that makes blue-print holo's for major ground transportation manufacturers. They make up the blue-prints for speeders, submersibles, and other land-based vehicles, then send them out to the manufacturers to use for building the vehicle. No one was killed, but the owner of the company, a Twi'lek named Cotati, reported some of the blue-prints missing. The third crime scene was on Tatooine at Jabba the Hutt's palace. Half of Jabba's family fortune was stolen.

Each crime scene had a calling card left by a villain named CarbonEye. The calling card was a holo image that showed the MI5 insignia crossed out with a big red "X".



The Mission Starts with a Bang
After the briefing on the three different situations around the galaxy, M assigned each agent to one of three teams. Each team was assigned to go to one of the three planets: Tatooine, Dantooine and Alderaan. Onolar Neot was leading the Tatooine team, Joss Vendu the Dantooine team, and Markus Carfax had the Alderaan team.

And after a brief run-in with Wilhelm Starck, the agents began heading out to their respective planet assignments. But in the meantime, Team Blood Trinity had resurfaced on Coruscant and had a coordinated attack on many different locations on the planet, one of which was MI5 Headquarters.

A couple of detectives from Meerian Vice, along with some INTERPOL agents, were beginning investigations into the whereabouts of Team Blood Trinity. MI5 agent Mitch Nifesta was called in as well.

Dangerous Dealings on Dantooine
As the Dantooine team arrived at the old Czerka warehouse, the Force-sensitive assassin Haley Qubey, whom CarbonEye hired, began an attack on the agents, killing a few of her own men in the process. Toward the end of the fight, the Czerka warehouse was completely destroyed. During that time, Haley Qubey battled with her old friend, MI5 agent Oorahahra Keskay. And Joss Vendu was fighting his own inner demons, an entity called Arca.

When the battle finally ended, Keskay was successful in turning Haley good, and planned on using her to get to CarbonEye. But upon hearing about the bombings back on Coruscant, Vendu decided to head back there and help out any way they could.

Trouble on Tatooine
Tatooine team leader Onolar Neot had sent Pam Rocker to Tatooine early to scout out the situation. While the rest of the team was en route to the dust-covered planet, Pam was taken prisoner by Jabba's Gamorrean guards. She ended up getting out of Jabba's Palace with the help of an MI5 operative Leiter, who had successfully infiltrated Jabba's gang long before Pam arrived.

The MI5 agents arrived on the planet to find S from Q'u Branch, who gave them a transport. Soon after Pam met up again with the agents, they set out toward Jabba's Palace.

Adventures on Alderaan
After the team finally arrived on the peaceful planet, they were attacked on their way into the business district to find Cotati. After a lot of commotion that involved a falling ambulance, the team finally reached Cotati's Blueprints, only to find that Draco Gant, another mook hired by CarbonEye, was attacking them.

The small office building that housed Cotati's company was gutted and pretty much destroyed during the battle, but the agents managed to escape with Cotati and rendezvous at the hotel called Royal...all except Zachos Dakkan, who was captured by Draco Gant.

Team Blood Trinity Investigation
As the investigation into Team Blood Trinity's whereabouts began, Vendu's "Dantooine Team" had arrived on Coruscant. After working together, they narrowed down their search to the people they were looking for: Adder and his team.

Meanwhile, while Team Blood Trinity was escaping, they found a k'lor'slug hidden on their ship, which ended up dead after it attacked Lisia. So, to get Lisia medical attention, they made a pit stop on the planet Reece.
