This is Session 6A of a short Colonial Marines campaign for Alien: The Roleplaying Game, from Free League. In their commandeered Mantis, lifted unapologetically from the rogue mercenary leader and former marine, Regis Lim, Kaminski's band of hardened survivors prepared (see Mission 6A - Downtime) for the long journey to New Galveston by stripping the Calpamos ops station for parts and sending a transmission from the abandoned colony site on LV223. With the full details of the plot hatched between Brigadier General Charles Tenet and various executives inside Weyland-Yutani, the squad intends to do whatever it takes to bring the corruption to light and end the threat of Species XX121...

Due to the shortness of time available, each video in this Actual Play series is considered to be half of one normal session of play (Part A or Part B). This campaign is being run as a Troupe so players have access to a set of characters during each mission.

This is the actual start of Mission 6 of a probable 7 and brings all the major players together for a chance to see who are the last marines standing.
