The following are a couple suggestions you can use help
prepare the group prior to running Drip by Bloody Drip.
• Agenda68 Terrorists: The characters should have a real
understanding of how Agenda68 terrorist cells have infil-
trated the Republic, and when activated, carry out plots to
undermine the Republic’s security. Uncovering a terrorist
plot and stopping it, would be a great Novice adventure;
and would help lay the groundwork for this one.
• The characters need money: Have the heroes face a mon-
ey-related problem, as it provides them incentive to follow
up on Mr. Sanders’ offer. Perhaps they owe the wrong
people credits or need a stack in investment capital to
start a new business. Maybe there’s a new model VTOL
craft one of the characters has been eying. Never under-
estimate an appeal to greed.

Adventure Synopsis
The team is contacted by a fixer who owes them one. He
informs the group he has a lead on a job that promises to pay

facility. For interested parties a meeting is arranged with Mr.
Sanders, the potential employer.
At the meeting, Mr. Sanders interviews the group, assess-
ing their abilities. Once concluded he explains the job and
possibly provides additional resources to ensure a successful
