Since this is a long scenario we’ll take a break now to give our characters some Character Points, assuming they have some time to stop and reflect. Everybody gets 5 cp. So what options do we have for character advancement? Remember, we can only improve skills that our character used during the scenario so far….

Survival Mode: Flight into Terror 2.5
“I go visit my sister on my breaks sometimes – the state hospital isn’t far, and we have lunch in the quad. It’s… it was nice.” Toni had calmed down, putting her bat aside, sitting holding the cup of shitty airport vending machine coffee that Vera had grabbed for her. Every so often she’d shoot…
Survival Mode: Flight into Terror 2.4
Vera took the lead, through the security doors into the control tower’s base. GURPS: There’s an encounter hook to be heard, here, so everybody gets a Perception check. Vera, Ashly, and Marco succeed, Marco critically. I won’t bother rolling for the NPCs in this instance, but the PCs who hear it have to make –…
Survival Mode: Flight into Terror 2.3
After Nick pointed it out, after they’d stopped and their footsteps were silent, the sound of weeping was impossible to miss in the empty terminal. It seemed to be coming not from the gate that Flight 13 was parked in front of, but the one next to it, Gate F. Does the party investigate?5: Yes,…
Survival Mode: Flight into Terror 2.2
The cockpit was crowded, with Josh and the woman in the wheelchair at the controls, the flight attendant at their side. The Captain had been laid out on the ground, attended by a nun, with the co-pilot curled up not too far from him – of the flight crew, only the engineer seemed lucid enough…

They escaped, but not before losing Vera, one of their own, to the…
Survival Mode: Hello World 1.5
The group moved on, up another few flights, to the sixth, where they spotted a trio of dead office workers milling about. “Call ‘em,” Marcus said. “I got glasses.” “No face,” Vera said. “Blond lady,” Nick said. “I guess… also blond lady,” Ashly said. “No face,” Josh said. Nick stood alongside his friends, pistol firmly…
Survival Mode: Hello World 1.4
“Is that all of them?” Marco asked. Vera surveyed the pile of un-moving bodies at their feet, then slunk down along the wall into a squat. “What the fuck, man. What the fuck. How is any of this real?” “I don’t know,” Nick said, adjusting what was left of his shirt. Marco was fumbling shells…
Survival Mode: Hello World 1.3
Nick was flattened by the impact, feeling the pain of collision all throughout his abdomen, from his groin to the small of his back. He crawled out through the open doors, thankfully blown open in the crash, to the darkness beyond. When you fall, get into a car accident, or a similar collision in GURPS…
Survival Mode: Hello World 1.2
Time passed, an hour at least, with the five friends in the elevator discussing the strangeness they found themselves in. It was the same story all around – they’d suddenly become aware that they were in an unfamiliar circumstance, wearing unfamiliar clothing, in the same unfamiliar building. And none of them had any short term…
