Green Scare (Opening Session)

The rumors on street among the racers, is that a new group is in town scouting for drivers. The rumors speak of the big time corporate sponsorship racing the pro circuit. How will the characters family catch their attention? — “An illegal street race of course”.

The Green Machine is the public face of the Green Scare. The Green Machine is owned by an eccentric billionaire, Mary Bateson, who rarely makes public appearances. Her stated purpose is to build an environmental friendly racing circuit to rival NASCAR. The Green Machine hosts electric and renewable fuel car races all around the world, and even pays for a Formula E car. They have sent racers and scouts into the underground street racing clubs of the character’s home city, to recruit new and daring drivers.

Green Scare is one of the most notorious environmental terrorist groups, they have never killed anyone, but they have cost companies millions enough to make them public enemy number one. Green Scare recently claimed responsibility for turning off the valves on oil pipelines in remote places, and using speed boats to disrupt Japanese dolphin killing. They even have been rumored to be reintroducing wolves across the mountain west.

NPCs

Mary Bateson
The strong willed and eccentric founder of Green Machine. She enjoy nothing more than being behind the wheel. Secretly entering many of Green Machine’s public and less legit races, under the alias Queen Scots (Queeny for short).

Jonny Swift
Mary’s personal assistant and bodyguard, he’s surprisingly personable and well liked by nearly everyone. He’s tall fit and would be good looking except for his often busted nose and missing teeth. His driving skills may be lacking but you wouldn’t want to exchange blows with him.

Chris
The AI that is the master mind behind Green Scare, he will be the players main contact. A special self driving semi truck will be his personification. The truck is able to haul the player and their vehicles and provide a temporary garage for repairs and upgrades.

Kaine
Punk music loving, street racing recruiter. He looks to be all muscle but man can he drive. Impress him to get an invite. He’s out on the streets making road rash of all the lesser busters while blaring “Dead Fucking Last” and “Bouncing Souls”.

Locations

Street Party Create an awesome exciting street party, music dance, and cool cars. This is where they should first meet Kaine, and get goaded into racing.

Underground Race Venue A cool place where the locals in the know hang out, and can watch drone videos of the local street races. It’s a large warehouse with EDM music going on in the background with light shows, and large projection screen of the races.

Local Pub A quiet pub, a place to get drinks with Swift and Kaine once they take interest in the characte.

Adventure Spine

Kicker: The leader gets a call from fellow racers that some out of town busters are looking to race the best. Give each character and introduction scene as the leader assembles them. Then jump to beginning of the race with a brief introduction of Kane driving a modified muscle car that runs on alternate fuel, and Queen Scots driving a sleek electric sports cars.

Race: In a dry canal under a criss crossing highway overpass, near downtown, is a gathering of local racers. A firetruck lights up the night with a flame thrower, and pair of vans are blasting music, for a crowd of dancers. Two cars you don’t recognize an older muscle car with a giant turbo blower, and new sleek sport car with neon lights. Queen Scott already wearing her helmet will be driving the sleek electric sports car, and driving the muscle car is Kaine. Jonny Swift is nearby, mixing with the crowd, he will only show himself if Queen Scot is in danger.

If the players win the race or impress Kaine they will be invited to the secret tryouts for Green Scare/Machine. If they fail give them rumors about tryouts, and see if they can find out a way to crash the tryouts. The race has 3 stages and is 9 segments long, starting in the canal, then cutting through downtown, and finishing with a race to top of a parking garage. (9 segments)

  1. The canal is a long straight away, ending with small jump onto the local streets in a warehouse district just outside down town. The segment will be a jockeying for position before hitting the crowded streets. (3 segment)
  2. The downtown street are a grid of narrow one-way streets. There are many other vehicles and parked cars to be avoided. Drivers may take different routes to reach the final segment. (3 segments)
  3. A five story parking garage with two separate up and down ramps; get to the top and the waiting crowd to win. (3 segments)

After Party: Kaine and Jonny Swift will be there Queen Scott had other business to attend to. A chance for some light heavy talk, and to learn something about Green Machine and their electric or alternate fuel cars. If the did well they will get an invite to the tryouts, otherwise they will have to figure a way to crash the tryouts.

Downtime: They have a free day to fix their vehicles, and do some heavy talk if needed. They will also have time to possibly declare or change the mods on their vehicles if they haven’t at character creation.

Tryouts: The tryouts will be a challenging five stage race and the climax of the session. The characters should use their mods, and try out some impossible stunts. Also try to bring out some of the characters internal conflicts as well. The race starts inside a warehouse on the outskirts of the city. There are large TVs and bleachers for the crowds, and armed guard checking invites. There are several other local and nearby local racers, with hot cars. At least one is a rival to the characters team? (5 stages 12 segments)

  1. The cars are lowered down into a large storm drain, just wide enough for two cars side by side, with forks leading in different directions. (2 segments)
  2. The storm drains comes out onto a narrow road running next to a full canal with rushing water. (2 segments)
  3. Moving into a shopping and dinning district of the suburb, avoid pedestrians. (2 segments)
  4. Moving up onto the highway, and possible police presence. (3 segments)
  5. An office park, with a maze of tight twisty roads, finishing in the cafeteria of a large office building. The large glass doors are removed giving enough space for the cars to enter the cafeteria. (3 segments)_ If they fail the tryouts, then have Kaine taken a liking to the characters gumption and impossible moves, gives them a task of stopping a local company from dumping waste.

Waste (Optional): Stop the tanker trunk somewhere between the factory and the local stream where it’s dump waste. It will be escorted by a crew on motorcycles. Think bad 1980s horror movie. (5 segments)

Downtime: They have a night to do as they please before the private invite from Green Machine.

Private: If they succeeded at the tryouts they will have a meeting with Mary Bateson, who will introduce them to Chris and Green Scare. If they accept she will provide them with Chris’s Semi-Truck, GPSs and communication devices, 2 resources each and their rookie mission the Green Gold heist.
