Full Eagle Day is designed as an introductory for the Judge Dredd Roleplaying Game and is intended for four to six rookie (2 level) judges. Games Masters should supervise their players in creating street and psi- judges, and then immediately award them 1,000 experience points in order to raise them to 2" level. It is suggested that no more than half the rookies are psi- indges. Preparation Notes for the Games Master Read carefully through Full Eagle Day before you start play. Preparation is very important and you should know the general layout of the scenario before play begins. Make sure you have scratch paper and a couple of pens, plenty of dice and snacks at hand. If you are planning to use models or maps you will need a large kitehen table or vacant area of floor space. Some music can also help set the mood for the game. The soundtrack of the Judge Dredd movie or those of other science fiction films can hhelp players get a feel for the game ahead. As you read, imagine how your players will react to the scenario you are about to present and plan accordi Players will usually manage to do something completely ‘unexpected, but sometimes their ideas can take the adventure off in new and interesting directions. If you feel that you can improvise and travel with your players beyond the confines of Full Eagle Day, feel free to enjoy ‘yourself - that is what role playing is all about! A copy of The Rookie Guide to the Justice Department will also be useful, though not essential, to provide additional background material for the Justice Department in general and the Academy of Law specifically. introduction Adventure Background Having completed fifteen years in the toughest school on Earth, the spectre of the Final Street Test (FST) hangs. over the cadets. The FST is the summit of their cadet lives, the opportunity to prove their worth for if they pass the FST, they can finally join the ranks of the street judges. Rookies who fail the FST are expelled from the Justice Department and must return to the Academy of Law to hand in their uniforms, weaponry and other possessions before being sent to a rehabili where they will be prepared to sj as law-abiding citizens of Mega-City One, Times have been hard on the Justice Department; various disasters have taken their toll on the numbers of judge and modifications to basic Academy procedures are now being considered in several sectors. In one such revision, the examining judge will not always be present at the FST, instead using streeteams belonging to the Public Surveillance Unit (PSU) to monitor the rookies" performance. A senior judge will study the recorded footage and pass or fail the rookies based on the strength of their performance. In addition, rookie judges sometimes work in teams rather than being paired with a single senior judge. ‘The rookies in Full Eagle Day will pit their wits Gemini, a small criminal organisation led by sisters Candelabra and Moche Capoosh who specialise in organ legging and drug dealing. The Capoosh Sisters are directors of the Fiddlefit Centre, a private hospital in Sector 58. For several years, Gemini provided the Mega- City Frendz (once Mega-City One’ largest criminal empire) with fr to private health clinies that offered designer drugs and state of the art medicare - patching up gunshot wounds, hiding garrotte sears and performing organ transplants. Gemini bas stepped up its drugs operations to meet the demand from a fresh wave ‘of new and unusual subscribers to Fiddlefit Hospicare called the Odd Men. The Oxld Men are a group of flesh- cating mutants who have illegally entered into Mega-City One from the Cursed Earth. ‘They have brought with them a strong sense of self-preservation and radland savvy that once made the Odd Men into one of the east radlands’ most powerful mutant groups. Now they seek to open new markets in Mega-City One and are courting ‘ _ 2 & aodthe Capoosh Sisters as potential business partners. In turn, Gemini is providing the Odd Men with fleshy delicacies fresh from Resyk, body parts containing special extra filling: illegal drugs. Gemini® operation has, been running smoothly until now and the Odd Men are on their way to offeri oosh Sisters a deal, Unfortunately, both Gemini and the Odd Men are about to.come face to face with a feam of rookies out on their Final Street Test Synopsis The cadets begin the scenario in the Academy of Law, nervously awaiting the call to begin their FST. Their test commences with a visit to a Resyk recycling plant in Sector 44 where some irregularities have been reported. The bodies of gang members - the Razors and the Demons ~ have had their organs removed. The rookies head off to the ga ‘Sweeny Block, where they confront an ex-rookie judge called Rocky Chong and the corrupt head of local security firm SafeCo, Chief Speans, who is in Gemini’s pocket. the The rookies get enough information from these sources to trace the organ-snatching operation to a pair of med-techs called Brigit Garda and Harry White. After a dramatic Me's ONLY A ROOKIE, JUDGE. wets BLAST MM OUT OF HS SADDLE WHEN HE Sees 0s" chase, the rookies learn that Sweeny Block inhabitants are being murdered to provide bodies for Assistant Chief Overseer Plumber, yet another Gemini agent, to extract, organs and send them by jugger and hoverclaw to the King Of Cool freezer plant where drugs are added to the organs’ interior cavities. After combating a band of | Gemini blitz agents and bribed King Of Cool workers, the rookies finally learn of Geminis involvement in the plot, The rookies head to Fiddlefit Hospicare for a showdown with the Capoosh Sisters and the Odd Men. Rookies who successfully make it to the end of Full Eagle Day will graduate with full honours and become street judges. The others are summarily expelled from the Academy in disgrace, The Final Street Testis a make or break situation. The rookies will automatically fail if they make bad judgement calls during any point of their investigation. Judge Dredd himself will be making the final adjudication. Guidelines to help Games Masters decide which of their players should be removed from game play are scattered throughout the scenario, Gaming groups with fewer than three players may not have the manpower to make it to scenario’s end; in this instance, the Games Master is free to lessen the consequences of bad judgement calls if it will prolong the game and the players’ enjoyment of it 5 E E‘The Academy of Law has been the cadet judges’ home for fifteen long years. years of strenuous training and painfully strict discipline. Tt ean transform innocent child into a fully-fledged street judge, an expert in law enforcement, firearms, driving, detection, ‘observation, survival and hand-to-hand combat, ‘The Academy of Law trains the toughest judges on Earth; the rookies have alot to live up to. For more details about the workings of the Academy of Law, refer to p51 of The Rookie Guide to the Justice Department. Scene t: The Academy of Law - Reveille Read the following out aloud to the players (0600 firs. You awaken alongside your fellow cadets as the dormitory alarm bell snatches you from an uneasy slumber. As you blink against the bright strip lights and wipe the sleep from your eves, you suddenly remember ‘that your Final Street Test is due today, your last assessment and the end of all your training. This is the ‘moment that you have been preparing for since you assed through the gigantic Academy doors fifteen years of Your Life You shuffle off into the communal shower room for your regulation clean up, spraying on the depil foam, washing yourself down quickly and efficiently. You return to the dormitory and pull on your bodysuit and armour, and then you wait with your white cadet’ helmet under your ‘arm, standing to attention as Judge-Tator Heston arrives 10 inspect you. Heston enters, aecompanied by two station judges. The servos in Heston’ cybernetic legs make whirring noises as he walks down the line of cadets, subjecting each of you to a penetrating stare, his walking cane tapping a regular rhythm against the hard plascrte floor. Usually, Heston can be expected to hand out afew ‘reprimands but today his mood is more sombre and reflective. He taps his walking cane hard against the floor for your attention. ‘I've seen many cadets pass through here. You ve not the worst and you'e not the best. You have mace it this far, passed many field assessments and survived the Hotdog Run. All of that is nothing compared to the test that now ties before Vou. Today, a senior judige will rake you out onto the streets of Mega-City One and judge whether you are fis ro join the ranks of te full eagles.

Smith, you will be examined by Judge Manners. Jones, you will be going with Judge Lore-" The rol call goes on and on, until you are the only cadets leftin the room. Heston deactivates his stug reader and gestures towards you. “You are on special assignment Follow me You line up in Heston's office. He seats himself behind a highly polished desk. ‘As you are doubtless aware, the hustice Department is spread thin these days. The Council of Five wants to try a new tactic to retard casualties until a new generation is ready to hit the streets. They believe that judges working in teams will prevent casualties and require back up less often. However, given the failure rate of previous programs, the Couneil requires respected senior judges to field-test this new idea, You will be one of these experimental teams; your examiner will be Judge Dredd’ Heston pauses to let the news sink in, ‘Judge Dredd will fail you on the slightest slip, so watch yourselves. In a change to standard procedure, Judge Dredd will not be present for your entire FST. Your progress will be closely monitored by PSU streetcams and studied by Dredd, Get yourselves prepared and meet Judge Dredd in the bike pool stat; it ‘won't do to keep him waiting” ‘The cadets are now officially rookie judges. They collect, their new white helmets and half eagle badges, and make their way down to the ground vehicle garage. Prog Two: Scene 2: Meeting a legend Read the following out aloud to the players. The ground vehicle garage contains Lawmaster bikes, ‘med-wagons, meat wagons and catch wogons, all emblazoned with the Academy of Law's white eagle crest. You watch another team of rookie judges leave with their examining judge. A solitary figure strides into view - Judge Dredd! The legend, the scar tissue, the jaw and the bionic eves: the perfect judge. You are awed fo be in the presence of one of the greats, but Dredd’s gruff manner ‘soon takes the polish off. “You're the ones up for this experiment? Before we set off, let me make something clear: I don't care how short we are on helmets. I won't allow anybody less than an entirely capable judge on the streets of my city: Any questions?” fier questions are asked and answered (brusquely), Judge Dredd speaks to the rookies. Read the following out aloud to the players. ‘There have been some irregularities at Resyk 44. Stiffs have been turning up with organs missing. Your assign- ‘ment is 10 discover what is happening down there. Iwill accompany you for the first part of your inquiry. Let’ ride! Resyk in Pieces Scene t Waste Not Want Not Read the following out aloud to the players. You mount your Lawmasters and exit the Academy's garage io the great wide open of Mega-City One. Blocks tower above your heads in every direction, criss-crossed with verzooms, pedways and skedways. Skysurfers dart through the sky, while ground cars hurile to and fro. Hover pods weave around each other in a never-ending circus act, kept in check by floating beacons and watchful H-Wagons. You notice that the citizens you pass are respectftl and well behaved. “They're on their best behaviour because theres so many of us around here; Judge Dredd explains by way of his helmet radio. ‘Believe me, every citizen harbours a guilty secret. They all have something worth 4 fine or a prison sentence. Judge Dredd rides ahead of you, roaring away down Skedway 88/44 with practised ‘ease and speed. You have difficulty keeping up with him. You leave the skedway off-ramp and travel between rows of small factories and warehouses.

You park your Lawmasters by the main entrance and refer to a large digimap set into the fover vall 10 find your way around. Resyk 44 vibrates with the perpetual rumble of conveyor belts and the crunch of body parts being removed by robotic arms. Judge Dredd stands well back, allowing you to proceed with your investigation. Standing at the edge of the observation deck, you can see thousands of dead bodies emptied from input tubes onto the conveyor belts. The corpses disappear into a vast dissemination factory that breaks them down into their base components 1o be shipped out for industrial exploitation. In the city of the future, nothing goes fo waste. ‘The rookies need to locate the plant overseer, a man. called Drake. Drake is overblown with his own sense of importance and prestige as being one of the few humans to actually have gainful employment. Assistant Chief ‘Overseer Plumber points the way to Drake's office, overlooking the main conveyor belt. As the rookies enter, Drake meets them. Read the following out aloud to the players. There you are, I was told you'd be earlier. I've got bodies backing up from the area you people told me to hold off on. Want to tell me why you re messing up my quota? In realty, all that Drake actually does is watch the conveyors all day and call for help if they malfunction. In answer to the rookies’ questions, Drake tells them that the bodies all came in from the Holmes district in this sector. A new employee found the abnormalities that atracted the Justice Department's attention. Drake has put the bodies aside so the rookies may examine them, Read the following out aloud to the players. Drake cranks open the freezer doors, presenting you with @ mountainous tangle of broken, icv corpses. The bodies will require defrosting before you can make anything other than a cursory examination, ‘Tcan't spare the equipment 10 help you; Drake states, ‘our schedule can't wait any longer’ With that, he siolls The rookies should order Drake to assist them in any way they see fit, If'they let him order them about, Judge Dredd ~ who has been listening in on the conversation through the rookies’ helmet radios - contacts them and cautions them on their lack of authority. The rookies are quite within their rights to haul Drake back and have him drag the bodies out on their behalf. Whatever the ‘method, the bodies are eventually all exposed and thawed. Have the players make a Spot check (DC 15). A. successful result reveals the bodies all have similar clothing and their exposed skin marked by tattoos. Should the rookies make an Intelligence check (DC 12), they know the bodies are those of gang members. A Spot check (DC 15) reveals that there are two gang factions present. A Resyk worker watching close by ~ the same ‘man who first noticed the corpses’ irregularities - steps in and identifies the gangs as the Demons and the Razors from Sweeny Block where his sister lives. They have been fighting each other for years. Drake or the worker (whomever the rookies called on to help remove the bodies) points out incisions made in one of the bodies. He pushes his hand into the cavity and \wriggles it about. “Whatever was in here, it isn’t now!” If the rookies summon a med-squad to perform an autopsy, the medies discover the bodies have all had various organs surgically removed ineluding livers, kidneys, eyeballs, spleen and intestines. In addition, the ‘med: judges find traces of a poison called Cattalex in some of the victims. It was introduced into their bloodstream through a tiny hole in their necks. 2s & aoesn i -Wasp.

The rookies’ next port of call should be Sweeny Block to find out what happened to the Razors and the Demons, rog Three: Turf Wars Seene 1: Razors Edge Read the following out aloud to the players. Sweeny Block is only fifteen minutes away from Resyk 44 Moments before you are due to arrive, Judge Dredds voice grates over the helmet radios. ‘Tl leave you to your duties. Proceed with your investigation. Call Sector Control if you need me’ Dredd rides away. PSU cameras continue to monitor your performance while Sweeny Block fast approaches. You park your Lawmasters in the black underpark and head for the elevators, only 0 find they are broken. You instead make your way outside and weak towards the main entrance via a disused park now devoid of greenery; defaced by brightly painted graffi in the colours of the Razors and the Demons. As the players enter the block, have them make a Spot check (DC 12). A successfl roll reveals that judging fiom the extent of their wall scrawlings, the Razors now control most of Sweeny Block. Most of the Demons vpn as renerass3 Hee it Fb ro Fin nacinec wall markings have been overwritten by Razors’ sigils. It seems that the Demons are losing ground to the Razors in a big way. Scene 2: Security Crackdown Read the following out aloud to the players. As you make your way down the corridor citizens move ‘out of your way or try to be extra nonchalant, eager not 10 attract your autention, Off he main corridor, you enter ‘a narrow passage. You hear grunts and the sound of something struck hard, As you increase your pace anticipating a tap gang, you emerge into a small public square populated by the local security officers. Some blocks can afford to hire private security, strictly control led and largely ineffective, but legal. However, what you now see them doing ~ beating punks with batons ~is definitely not! ee meThe punks belong to the Demons gang. The private security force is beating on them as part of a deal struck up with the Razors. The Demons were caught wall serawling when the security officers chanced by. Block security is authorised to arrest offenders, reporting them to the judges, but they are not given the right to employ physical violence other than to restrain aggressive offenders. The Demons are bloodied and beaten while the security officers are unhurt. If questioned by the rookies, the guards claim they found the Demons defacing the wall. This is indeed true, as the freshly vandalised wall and the spray cans scattered across the floor testify. However, the security officers claim the Demons drew knives on them, forcing them to take action. The Demons protest louclly that they surrendered peacefully and were not out to cause trouble. Security is lying but the Demons have clearly broken the law but the rookies are free to place the security officers ona charge of brutality. It is unimportant whether either block security or the rookies detain the Demon vandals. As the Demons are being dragged away to the nearest holding post, one Demon begins shouting, Ask ‘em why they're taking the drokking Razors’ side, kid judges! Ask ‘em that! Ask ‘em why they don't crack down on the Razors so hard! If the rookies question the security officers about the Demons’ claims, they offer the following reply. ‘NS the chief idea. The Demons used to be the top ‘gang around here; it always been them or the Razors, fighting each other and causing all sorts of problems, Ser cts oaep tango” Caper Gist, vou save. aaooates wiht potoues. Ware BAD Now we hit one gang harder let the other finish them off then we only have one gang to watch. Preity slick hub? The security officers are being sincere. If the rookies ask them more questions, the security officers refer them to Security Chief Speans, located on Level 119. The Demons deserve a sentence of one year for vandalism and shouting, plus a year for resisting arrest. The security officers should receive approximately twelve ‘months for GBH. Seene 2: Rock and a Hard Place Read the following aloud to the players 4s you come up to one of the main elevators, you sight three Razors gang members spraying a huge tag across the elevator doors. Across the corridor, two SafeCo security officers have either not yet noticed the Razors or tare choosing to ignore them. They are instead paying far more attention to a preity, young woman and her heavy grocery bag. SafeCo security is deliberately ignoring the Razors. The rookies could sentence the security officers to ten years for criminal negligence. If the rookies confiont the Razors, they are met with open hostility. There are as many Razors as there are rookies, ie(gStigtiee : Baaek cers, malt GE Ga The Razors Citizen 1; HID 14643 (6); Init +1 CH Dex): Spd 30 ft DV 11 (+1 Reflex); Attack +1 melee, or +1 ranged; Fort 0, Ref +1, Will +0; Str 12, Dex 12, Con 11, Int 10, Wis. 10, Cha 11 Prior Life: Punk.

The rookies should easily be able to defeat the Razors With fists or daysticks. During the fight, make certain that one of the Razors has the opportunity to blurt out the following dialogue. ‘Reckon ya tough, baby judge? Think again. There are drokloads of us in this block and they'll find ya for this ‘and mull your fannies! Ya know why? Our leader used 10 bea judge, just like you. ‘e quit the Academy and came here to make the Razors great.

As the rookies travel down a corri- dor, they notice Justice Department J-Section sensors, put into place to warn citizens to keep away, surrounding one of the apartment doors. The apartment door suddenly opens, revealing a Japanese male by the name of Mister Nakamura. He regards the rookies with cool suspicion What do you want here? It is too late to do anything to save us. I.am packing to return home. 1 do not need your interference. Please, kindly leave Mister Nakamura is hurt and upset. If the rookies press him for information, Nakamura will allow himself to be interviewed. Mister Nakamura lets the rookies into his apartment, a clean and tidy dwelling filled with Hondo City technologies. Mister Nakamura is an employee of the New Osaka Corporation, a Hondo City business concern with a branch in Mega-City One. Nakamura tells Prog Four: the rookies that he had always dreamed of living in an ‘American Mega-City so that he might experience an alien, culture. He now deeply regrets his ambition Mister Nakamura reveals that his only daughter Miko was recently found dead nearby and suspe murdered. The block med-teehs informed Mister Nakamura that Miko died from an embolism, but Mister Nakamura is highly suspicious because Miko was a very healthy and lively girl. He tells the rookies that the have been an alarming number of deaths in Sweeny Block, all with supposedly natural causes, When friends and relatives of the deceased have made inquiries, they have come up against a wall of silence.

If the rookies choose instead to smash the door open, it will ake two rookies with a Strength of 12 or more one round to smash the lock. When the door swings open, the rookies look down a1 narrow corridor at the end of which, wedged between the two walls is Candy Chong, looking apologetic. She is dressed in what appears to be a surplus rad-tent. I’m. terribly sorry,’ Candy apologises, ‘I tried to get to you We don’t have many visitors and Rocky normally gets the door, Please can you help me? I’m afraid I'm stuck!” Only a concerted effort by the rookies can free Candy Chong. Empty mega-pizza boxes litter the floor, OnceCandy is freed, she wobbles into the living room. ‘The room is piled high with garbage, mainly empty food ‘containers covered in mould. The Chongs are ripe for sentencing on health and safety grounds, When the rookies enter the Chongs’ living room they ‘meet Chongy Chong, Candys husband, whose obesity dwarves even that of his wile, his bulk completely swallowing up the sofa he sits upon. Chongy struggles to turn his head to face the rookies. “How ean we help you?" Chongy pushes dippie snacks into his mouth as he ‘peaks, spitting crumbs out, The Chongs have reasonably pleasant personalities. They both snack constantly and offer the rookies a box of Krispy Snake-Rings. The CChongs are happy to tell the rookies where their son Rocky can be found, asha al ways. Rocky is usually located at the Bloodlust Vircade on Level 96 around this time of day ed as they are of his er If the rookies perform a crime swoop on the Chongs apartment, a Search check (DC 15) reveals a large bag of sugar hidden behind the Tri-D entertainment centre. The ‘Chongs confess that Rocky procures the sugar for them, Beyond the living room, the rookies find nothing else of an incriminating nature. In Rocky Chong’s bedroom, they find a set of weightlifting equipment and a case containing neatly folded Razors gang colours. Other than these items and the single bed, the room is sparse - reminiscent ofa rookie judge's personal space back at the Academy of Lav ‘The Chongs are eligible for a prison sentence of up to five years apiece for sugar possession and six months for breaching health and safety regulations. They could do with enforced dieting, though the latter sentence is cntirely at the rookies” discretion Scene 2: Gangland Read the following aloud to the players. You have to take the emergency stairs to reach the Bloodlust Vircade. You walk out into a corridor completely choked by Razors’ graffiti. The level ts dominated by small businesses catering to leisure pursuits: bars, animatic tattoo parlours and powerboard stores. The citizens you pass are either Razors, or affiliated to the Razors by threat of violence.

Any rookie who succumbs to temptation automatically fails the FST and is ordered by Judge Dredd via radio contact to immediately stand down. Scene 3: Blood on the Vircade Floor Rocky Chong is present in the vireade and he is protected by the toughest of the Razors. As the rookies arrive at the Bloodlust Vircade, read the following aloud to the players. You stand at the entrance to the Bloodlust Vireade Razors crowd the interior, their synthi-leather clothes splashed with the glare of flashing vircade consoles. The Razors all turn towards you as they become aware of our presence. Rocky Chong makes his presence known ‘by continuing to play with a console while all about him fall silent. ‘T've been expecting you’ Rocky says, without bothering to turn away from his vircade game. ‘Its time for a little payback from the Justice Department, don’t you think?” Rocky looks closely at you. ‘Hey. don tI That’ right! My dorm pals! Hey; sorry it has to be this way, but the Academy screwed with the wrong guy!” Rocky reaches into his jacket, pulling out a sawn off stump gun. The Razors all produce handguns. There are three times as many Razors in the Bloodlust \Vircade as there are rookies and Rocky is determined to prove he is superior to his former peers. He is highly aggressive, headstrong and assured of his own, invincibility. The Razors themselves have no plan other than to blow the rookies’ heads off. They are ignorant enough to not know the rookies’ Lawgivers have self destruct charges built into their handgrips. Should any of the rookies lose their weapons, the Razors will try to steal ‘and use them against the rookies - with predictable consequences. It is important that Rocky survives the battle, though the rookies may have to injure him to prevent his escape, so he can be interrogated afterwards,1: Main entrance 2: Credit vendor 3: Vireade console 4: Credit exchange refreshments Bathroom Rocky's Punks Citizen 3; HD 34643 (13); Init +1 (+1 Dex); Spd 30; DY 14 (+4 Reflex); Attack +3 melee, or +3 ranged; Fort 41, Ref +4, Will +1; Str 12, Dex 12, Con II, Int 10, Wis, 10, Cha 13, Prior Life: Punk Skills and Feats: Bluff +5, Computer Use +4, Drive +5, Escape Artist +4, Hide +6, Intimidate +6, Move Silently +6, Pick Pocket +6, Search +6, Spot +6, Streetwise +65 Alertness, Lightning Reflexes, Skill Focus (streetwise), ‘Toughness, Possessions: Club 1d8/0, handgun 346/4, knife 1d6/2, pad armour (DR 4).

Moments later, with the jugger still in ‘motion, the hoverclaw lifts off with a cargo pod. 2. The rookies may choose instead to arrange close surveillance of the juggers using S-Wagons or PSU streetcams. This option will produce the same results as if the rookies did the job themselves. The rookies can arrange the surveillance via Sector Control and will be told to wait for results back at the Academy of Law while the surveillance teams track the juggers. Real-time images are transmitted straight back to the rookie: rookies make a Spot check (DC 10), they notice the hoverclaw, performing the same action as detailed above, Ifthe If the rookies are tailing the jugger on their Lawmasters, they must make a Drive check (DC 20) to keep up with the hoverclaw or lose it. Alternatively, they can order H- Wagon or S-Wagon pursuit. If the rookies are watching the hoverclaw from the Academy of Law, they are automatically able to follow the hoverelaw all the way to its destination without having to make any skill cheeks, testament to the abilities of the highly trained personnel of the Justice Department Sky Patrol.

Ifthe rookies decide to do such a thing, ether have Judge Dredd arrive if the rookies are on their Lawmasters and warn them against the error of their ways or, ifthe rookies are based in the Academy of law, have Judge Tutor Heston, who has been quietly watching the rookies” progress nearby, perform the same dissuasive role ‘The hoverclaw travels three sectors west into Sector 58, to the King Of Cool freezer depot. The rookies have the ‘option of conftonting the hoverclaw at its base, or ‘mounting a full assault on the freezer depot with a fully equipped team of judges, perhaps Heavy Weapons or Riot Squads. The senior judge in attendance, either Judge Dredd or Judge-Tutor Heston, will frown upon the later n, informing the rookies tha the King Of Cool Depot may not be the hoverclaw’s final port of eal, Until ent evidence can be accumulated to warrant a crime bus, the rookies must play it safe and keep their presence t0 a minimum, Prog Eight: Freeze, Punk! Scene 4: King Of Cool Freezer Plant The rookies will need to travel to Sector 58 - the most expedient means is by H-Wagon, The rookies and theit Lawmasters are dropped off at a location of their choosing, preferably near to the King Of Cool Depot, but not close enough to attract premature attention and tisk alerting the hoverclaw erew, ‘The King Of Cool freezer depot is made up of warehouses and refuelling stations sprinkled around a thirty-level tall control tower. Massive juggers constantly enter and leave the compound. The rookies may choose to ride right up to the depot and start asking questions, or they may try a more subtle approach and sneak in without detection. The latter they will subsequently find impossible because of the depot's security cameras Whichever option the rookies choose to take, they will soon come face to face with depot workers who happily aes answer any questions as they go about basic depot procedures. If the rookies ask the workers what exactly is stored within the warehouses, they are told industrial components and chemicals that must be kept refrigerated tuntil put into use. ‘The workers inform the rookies that they will need to ask the depot manager if they want ‘more information, He can be found in the control tower. The following information is keyed to the map of the freezer depot. Do not give the players any of the text information until they physically tour the depot and go to Scene 2 if the players choose to question the depot manager. If the rookies are searching for the hoverckav they will head for the maintenance shed (Location 7) as detailed by streeteam surveillance mounted during the hoverctaw pursuit. Otherwise, make use of the source material below in whatever order the players choose 10 Visit the various locations. 1. Main entrance.1: Main entrance Warehouse Jugger Tugger lane Rest rooms Control tower Maintenance shed Warehouse Six : Security 2. Warehouses: The warehouses are divided into three sections: the primary store, secondary store and freezer power generators. The primatry store is the large room connected to the main entrance. It is filled with cargo pods and is very cold. Cryo-clements span the room from wall to wall, ceiling to floor. ‘The workers within ‘wear insulated bodysuits and hi-traction boots to prevent them from slipping on the frost-laden floor. The rookies” ‘own boots already offer this resistance, but their uniforms are useless in cold weather situations. For every ten minutes that the rookies spend within the primary store, they must make Fortitude save (DC 15) or sustain 1d4 points of subdual damage. A steel door (DR 15, $5 hit points) bars the secondary store, aceessible only by a special key carried by the workers. The rookies’ override card cannot open the door because the lock mechanism is entirely mechanical and too large to force without dedicated equipment. Inside the secondary store are smaller cargo pods that do not require refrigeration. ‘The freezer power generator in the third room is noisy and gives off terrific vibrations, but performs its function reliably. A couple of workers trained in generator tech are charged with its occasional maintenance, If the rookies make a Spot check (DC 20), they notice that the generator valves are loose. Water dips readily onto the floor, pooling around loosened power cables. This violates health and safety regulations and the depot manager needs to be notified of it as soon as possible. 3. Juggers: The juggers vary in size from the common ‘wo-laners (as depicted on page 98 of the Judge Dredd Rulebook) to the four-laner bulk haulers. Stationary juggers are offloading, awaiting fresh cargo or requiring repair and maintenance. Joint erews of humans and robots attend to these duties, the human contingent sourced from the jugger drivers themselves to save on overheads. Ifthe rookies look closer at the juggers, they see that cargo is shipped from the warehouse by conveyor belts. Arriving at the juggers, the cargo is lifted by robo- hoist and deposited in the storage compartments where workers manoeuvre the cargo pods into their travel stations, 4, Jugger Lanes: The jugger lanes are wide strips of tarcrete, a slightly darker colour than the main depot surface, Iluminators set intermittently along each length of the lanes automatically activate as night falls to provide additional guidance for jugger drivers. If the rookies wander onto one of these lanes, they are blasted by the horns of an angry jugger driver who nearly runs them down, Though the driver is abusive to the rooki they are not required to charge him - after all, they made the mistake, not he. 5. Rest Rooms: A plasteen shack struggling to perform, duties as a public toilet, communal shower, med-bay, entertainment lounge and canteen, 6.

The RG4O requires two drivers, one to monitor each of the two columns of five wheels as the massive vehicle lumbers along Meg-Ways, the only roads large enough to accommodate the RG40. Though slower than the JCD 939, the roadnaut can carry three times as many cargo pods spread over four bays. Due their sheer expense, only the most powerful mega corporations can afford to have RG40s in their flets. + Colossal; Defence Value: 0; Damage Reductioi 20; Hit points: 1,000; Speed: 200 (wheeled); Weap- ‘ons: None; Crew: 2; Passengers: 6; Cargo: 125 tons. 7. Maintenance Shed: There is only one maintenance shed, a storchouse for all the tools necessary to make repairs on juggers. The hoverclaw landed in the hangar bay to the rear, separated from the shed by a small yard filled with metal junk, the remains of past repair and salvage jobs. The hangar is only accessible via the shed. The shed itself is uninhabited. Both the front and rear doors are locked with the same mechanisms as the warehouse doors and the shed contains workbenches, stacks of tools and a bay of shut down labour robots. ‘A door at the rear opens out into the junkyard and a narrow corridor works its way between two towering piles of wreckage towards the hangar bay. A closed but unlocked door is the only ground entrance as there are no ‘windows or other external portals. If the rookies try to climb up the junkpiles to get on top of the hanger bay (Climb check, DC 20), they find that the vehicle entrance hhas been sealed. Climbing the junk pile risks triggering a collapse, burying the rookies under tons of metal. Ifa rookie fails his Climb check, the pile that he is scaling shudders and begins to crumble, The rookies will need to a 1: Maintenance shed entrance 4: Hangar bay get inside the hanger bay (Dexterity check, DC 10) or run back towards the maintenance shed (Dexterity Check, DC 15) or suffer 1d8 points of damage. They will not be able to dig themselves out of the junk without help from the depot workers, who will take 1d6 minutes to arrive. The collapsed junk can be traversed with a Balance check (DC 15) at every interval of 10 feet, or the rookie will slip, and suffer 1d4 points of damage. The hangar bay door will luckily remained free of obstruction, When the rookies finally get inside the hanger bay, read the following out aloud to the players The hanger bay is a circular room, three levels in height. In the centre of the bay sits the very hoverclaw you have been tracking. The grapple has been fully retracted into the main body, allowing the vehicle 10 rest just like a regular hover pod. The hoverclaw dominates the room, so much so that you cannot see any other doors without ‘moving further into the bay Have the players make a Listen cheek (DC 15).

If they get too close he will try to get hack inside the hoverclaw and escape by remote-activating the hangar bay’s launch gates, The gates open within seconds and the hoverclaw escapes unless the rookies think to blast the external gate controls (DR 4, 6 hit points), jamming them midway. If the rookies manage to everpower the blitzer, they may decide to examine the hoverclaw’ interior. The bodies they find belong to the hoverclaw’s crew, murdered by a single shot to the head courtesy of the blitzer’ handgun Ifthe rookies search the hoverclaw, they find two small cargo cubes containing frozen organs. One box contains cighty-seven fingers and four hearts, the other contains twelve kidneys, three squashed lungs and eleven eyeballs. While the rookies are present in the hangar bay, an intercom clamours for their attention. If the rookies answer it, they hear the following words. ‘Blakely, shat you? Look, we're running behind schedule with that merchandise. Bring it over 1o Warehouse Six pronto. Blakely? You there? Hey - who is this? ‘No matter what the rookies may say in reply, the message is cutoff at the other end of the line. Ifthe rookies head for Warehouse Six, refer to the entry below, 8) Warehouse Six: Warehouse Six is laid out just like any other freezer storage facility, but this time itis filed with armed workers lying in wait for the rookies. As the rookies approach, they are fired upon through the main door. This is not an especially good tactic for the workers ‘who would be better served waiting until the rookies centered the warehouse and then trapping them in a crossfire, but the workers are merely simple gumps out to make a quick credit, The Capoosh Sisters have sub-contracted the workers of \Warchouse Six to receive frozen organs and load them with drugs. The shots fired from Warehouse Six come from handguns. The rookies can either retreat, allowing the workers fo escape, or charge through the main doors. Ifthe rookies throw Stumm gas grenades into the warehouse, they have no effect on the workers who are all kitted in self-contained eskimo-suits. There are four times as many workers as there are rookies, but only half are armed with handguns. The remainder carry crowbars and other clubs.

He points out the equipment as he explains his illegal job profile. ‘We get the organs, defreeze them and open them up.

As it happens, the med-techs are due later that day... The warehouse gumps have committed the following crimes and should be sentenced accordingly: Assault of a judge (if any of the rookies have been injured, 10-20 ‘years), Assault with a deadly weapon (6 mths ~ 2 years), ‘organ legging (15-30 years), obstruction (3 mths-3 years), possession of illegal substances with intent to ‘rade (5-30 years), smuggling (8-20 years), illegal or unlicensed firearm (6 mths-3 years) and resisting arrrest (5-8 years) 9) Security Fenee. Scene 2: Donner Und Blitzen! ‘The central control tower is thirty-levels tall, topped by a control room outwardly resembling an old lighthouse lamp room, Communication arrays stick out from the control room in all directions like a crown of metal thorns.

The light suddenly breaking into the chamber is blinding, even more so if the rookies siill have their infrared visors engaged. Mutant Range 1: Cell At the top of the stairs is a room bathed in pale, yellow light. A door is set into the right wall. If the rookies ‘make a move to the door, the wall directly opposite suddenly becomes transparent. Candelabra Capoosh is oon the other side, satin a mount aside a heavy laser cannont Read the following out aloud to the players. You can t quite believe what you are seeing but as the sransparent wall begins to siowly rise ino its ceiling drawer, revealing Candelabra Capoosh and one of the largest laser cannons you have ever encountered, the awful reality of your situation begins to dawn on you. There is no escape; you are going to die, Candelabra laughs wickedly. ‘T bought my litle toy to put the Odd Men in their place should they plan to double-cross me. What better time to wipe them out than when they return, ‘gorged and tired, from a hunt?” Candelabra arms the laser cannon with a remote control unit, She crosses her ong legs, rubbing her thighs together in sensuous anticipation of the moment. ‘Say cheese! Candelabra presses the fre trigger... there isa loud bang. Candelabra slumps forwards, sliding from her ‘mount out of sight. A judge drops down into the gunnery 100m behind her, holding up a smoking Lawgiver. He walks out towards you. ‘I've seen worse, but not by ‘much; he says. The gritty, coarse voice can only be hudge Dredd’.

Good work rookies; we've heen waiting to nail the Capoosh Sisters and their Gemini organisation for quite some time. We finally have the evidence to shut them and their organ legging network down for good. Moche Capoash has escaped, but now we've broken Gemini’s back, she won't get very far Your Final Street Test is over. Get yourselves patched ‘up; a med-wagon is waiting by the foyer. I'm satisfied that you are fit to wear the full eagles of street judges: Congratulations. Find yourself new uniforms and collect your badges from the Grand Hall of Justice’ Within the hour you are dressed in the uniform of street judges. In a ceremony presided over by Chief Judge Hershey, Judge Dredd and Judge-Tutor Heston, you walk through a line of judges firing their raised Lawgivers in tribute. ‘Hail judges! May your Lawgivers always fire true!” You walk under the curtain of lead towards the bike pool where your Lawmasters await and your new lives begin.

Experience points The rookies who graduate automatically receive 2. ‘experience points, enough to take them to 3" level addition, the Games Master may wish to reward players ‘who have displayed excellent roleplaying, investigative or problem solving virtues with additional experience points, Refer to page 230 of the Judge Dredd Rulebook for experience point guidelines, Further Missions The newly promoted judges will no doubt be eager to hit the streets to dispense instant justice on the population of Mega-City One without a senior judge constantly ‘watching them. What happens from this point is up to you, the Games Master, However, we would recommend that the new judges be immediately stationed in Sector House 190 (see The Rookie s Guide to the Justice Department), a hot bed of crime and political instability. ‘All further scenarios from Mongoose Publishing will be based in this exciting sector, starting with The Sleeping Kin, the start of a desperate in halt the insidious plans of Sov-Block, intent on conquer Mega-Ciy life Alternatively, you may be happy to let your judges perform a few regular patrols to get used to the feeling of being full-badge judges, empowered to izens of Mega-City One those who would bring il disobedience. This will allow your ayers to become more comfortable with their characters, equipment and ¥ before throwing them in at the deep end. Personally though, I say life in Mega-City One should never be that easy. See you on the streets.Lae oo OU The rookie judges have completed their training at the Academy of Law and now just one thing remains before they can be given full eagle status and take their place on the streets as one of Mega-City One's their final street assessment, under the review ofa senior judge. Every rookie looks forward to this and the start of service but there is an additional complication for the players, The senior judge to be assessing them in this case, however, is a man who has only ever passed a handful of rookies in the past.
