StopGap. The Dam Job. The Score to End All Scores. Bartlett Reservoir is deep enough within the YA reservation to be lost in harsh terrain, near enough to Phoenix to arouse fear of massed herds of casualties, and whispered about enough to create its own graboid-like Loch Ness monster myth! It’s also one of the few plentiful sources of water within …

Mr. JOLS is approaching, but one last job is required to get all of the Mavericks ready for their big score. The enclave Zeta Station is being plagued by alien cattle rustlers! The SETI researchers are hard pressed for resources and can ill afford to lose what little they have. Despite their best efforts, they’ve failed to make first contact. Perha…

The Mavericks finally approach the Yavapai-Apache Tribal Council. The Council are riding the high of peace between the factions of the enclave following the successful defense of the Waterhole and are looking to build upon it! Their tribal casino was a failed attempt at an early enclave and remains a dark mark upon their past. Inside lies a treasur…

(Due to technical errors, Session 8 was unfortunately lost).The sins of Stagecoach’s idealism came back to bite the group. Agent Lynch, of the DHQS, was not thrilled with the Maverick’s selling government servers to the Moths. But he’s a generous man, if they do a job for him, he’ll forget all about this little indiscretion. And so, the Mavericks a…

The Mavericks are going independent! When a lone stranger arrives at the Waterhole with information to share, the opportunity to set up their own score and the profit margin that goes with it is just too tempting. But what seemed an innocuous USGS research facility is in fact something far more foreboding. Have the Mavericks been goaded into a trap…

Secrets and Lies! The Mavericks have uncovered the perpetrators of the murders at Earthship Serenity, but an inconclusive gunfight with the Cowboys has left them with more questions than answers. With their foes still loose and out for blood in the wilds, and the inner workings of Earthship Serenity obstructing them at every turn, will there be any…

Due to technical errors, Session 5 was unfortunately lost. The Takers took on a second job from The Brothers, utilizing their electric semi-truck to transport clean water to a newly contacted enclave in hopes of building trade and diplomatic relations. The Mavericks instead found a massive convoy; the new enclave was entirely mobile and had survive…

The Mavericks finally meet The Brothers! With their parents’ political infighting draining too much of their attention, they have begun outsourcing for solutions to the larger concerns of the enclave. Namely their future cash crops. And Alexandria has been tasked by her order to take on this job so that she may recover a highly coveted prize. . .…

Success breeds opportunity for the Mavericks! Their relationship with the crew of the Kvaðning has led to an investment opportunity that the crew is, mostly, sold on; meanwhile Issabelle McNulty has been forced to raise the price of her ore reconnaissance job to the point that only a fool would pass it up. Will the Mavericks strike gold, or delve t…

Having survived their first job together unscathed (mostly), the Mavericks turn to their dependents for rejuvenation, and headaches. A costly request from Stagecoach’s ailing daughter drives the group to take a suicide job from the local Latent community organizer in hopes of killing two birds with one stone. But what they find on the outskirts of …

Nestled up to the mountains north of Phoenix Arizona lies an enclave known as The Waterhole. Made up of a former Hollywood Wild West set-turned actual ghost town-turned interactive amusement park and a gaudy, low-effort water park, The Waterhole has grown into a powerhouse of supply for central Arizona. But its economic stability is undermined by p…

What Byzantine methods will they employ? How will they stave off the woman who spearheads the conspiracy to ruin any chance they have at tenure? What th…
