Hostile Takeover 2.4

Multiplayer Crossover Scenario for Two to Nine Players

Connor's forces have smashed SkyNet's defense grid, and victory is inevitable for the Resistance... but SkyNet has escaped. Modifying time displacement technology, SkyNet has achieved trans-dimensional displacement, infiltrating a parallel universe of Rogues, Marines, Predators, Aliens, and the Company. SkyNet Infiltrators have built hidden Factories in this reality, constructing their forces in secret until they were ready to strike... and now they have. Hunter-Killers have devastated the city, Aliens have escaped from an illegal Company lab, and Predators have been drawn to the conflict to hunt. Martial law has been declared and the Colonial Marines mobilized, to fight these multiple threats and stop the widespread looting by a Rogue element gone unchecked. Meanwhile, Connor's Resistance forces have crossed dimensions as well, intent on dealing with SkyNet once and for all. But to the Marines, it appears to be yet another hostile takeover. Will anyone survive the melee?

Special Rules

This Scenario has two Variants. All players must agree beforehand which Variant they are playing. The Variants are:
- Variant One: Aliens Predator and Terminator cards may not be mixed together in the same Draw deck at the start of the game.
- Variant Two: Aliens Predator and Terminator cards may be mixed together in the same Draw deck. Requires Opaque-Backed Deck Protectors on all Draw deck cards, as well as on all location deck cards.
Only one player from each Faction is allowed. Order-of-play is Rogues-Resistance-Marines-Company-SkyNet-Predator(Pack)-Predator(Solo)-Aliens(Hive)-Aliens(Cloned). Draw deck rules follow the "Deck Construction Rules" on page 31 of The Terminator Official Rules book. A player may include cards from both games in their Starting Cards, plus one optional Condition card from either game. There is no starting hand. Use the order-of-play to resolve timing disputes, including disputes over Singular Starting Cards.
All Aliens Predator locations now have the Future Resource, for the purposes of this Scenario. Cards with the Past-only Resource or Restriction are not legal (unless otherwise allowed by a card effect). Past/Future cards are legal. Aside from these limitations, there are no banned cards.
Rogues engage in "Black Marketeering": At the start of the Staging (Movement) Round, a Rogue character may rotate at any Black Market and exchange his/her Data tokens for Combat Pool. Black Marketeer has the Rogue Resource while controlled by Rogues (even as starting characters are played). A Rogue may use any non-Implant Item found at a Black Market (Any Faction may find SkyNet Items at a Black Market by spending Combat Pool = 10 + Item's Production Cost). During the Search Round a Rogue may rotate and pay 5 Combat Pool to "hire help" at a Black Market (find the Rogue Assassin or a Rogue Mercenary from your Draw deck or hand). By paying 4 Combat Pool, Rogues may search their Draw deck and take one Black Market Event into hand. Once per game, one Rogue at Black Market may pay 10 Combat Pool to add Prohibited and Concealable to a weapon found there. Rogues may use the effect text of a Black Market Tavern as if they are Marines.
Resistance may do "Demolitions": Rotate at least 4 Resistance characters (or 2 with Demolitions) at a location during the Production Step. If at least 4 of the rotated cards (or 2 with Demolitions) survive at that location at the end of the Search Round, the location is now Damaged. Resistance may also Protect Main and Supporting Characters at their Firebase, using the normal rules for Protection. Resistance gains 1 Mission Point for each Factory location they damage, and each Resistance character they Protect.
Marines may find the Marine Private character (from the player's hand) at the Barracks location like a Supporting Character. Additionally, a Marine Leader present with the Marine Private character may rotate and spend 2 Combat Pool to "promote" him (replace him with a named Marine character from your hand) during Search Round. Replaced Marine Private is discarded.
Company Main Characters are any Human or Synthetic Main Characters who begin the game without the Marine, Rogue, Resistance, SkyNet, Police, or Predator resources. If all of that Faction's Company characters are eliminated, that player is out of the game (all Main Characters they control are removed). Rogues and Marines cooperate if working for the Company, but may not use this scenario's Rogue or Marine Special Rules. The Company performs "illegal research": Spend 5 Research Points at any time to counter/cancel Alien Birth or Crazed Civilian. In any Lab, spend Research Points equal to the Honor value of a Predator Item, or the Production cost of a SkyNet Item, to teach its Owner to use it (Implants are permanently "grafted" onto Owners). Company characters can find SkyNet Items at matching locations during the Search round, for no Production.
SkyNet may "retreat through time": SkyNet gains 1 Mission Point for every Main Character they Time Travel. Any Faction may rotate non-Synthetic, non-SkyNet, or SkyNet Infiltrator characters they control at an undamaged Time Displacement Laboratory to Time Travel (character and character's Implants are removed from play) during the Protection Step. SkyNet Synthetics may attack Humans. A killed or captured character's Implants go wherever the character goes (discarded, out of play, etc.).
Predator players use the chartless "EZ Honor System": Character's Honor value equals half that character's base Power stat (round up), +4 for each Item, Alien token, or Gore token on character, or if character is a Queen, Hybrid, or Hunter-Killer. Predator Pack only gains Honor by evacuating captured characters (see Resurrection Rules Supplement). Predator players may have no more than 2 of each non-Ammo Predator Item in their Draw deck or Starting Cards. Solo Predator may pay 1 Combat Pool to stay hidden while attacking (opponents may view Predator's attacking marker to verify it is really the Predator). However, each character a hidden Predator kills, subtracts its Honor value from the Solo Predator's total.
Alien Pet Hybrid may mature from any Animal character. An Alien at a Hive location may pay 1 Combat Pool during the Staging (Movement) Round to begin using Hidden Movement with 1 marker. Aliens may choose to attack SkyNet characters, even if those characters are Ready and have not moved. Characters (except Hunter-Killers) killed and "eaten" by Newborn are stacked underneath Newborn as Victims (characters are dead but still in play, discarded if Newborn is killed).
Miscellaneous: P.T.V. is treated like an Item that replaces its owner's Speed Attribute with "2." Powerloader is not a weapon or armor, and may now enter any Exterior or Open Interior locations, but only increases its Owner's Power while resistance and Close Combat damage are being calculated. Alleyway, Access Space , and Main Corridor may not be chosen as starting locations. All killed characters are discarded to their owner's Discard pile, unless otherwise noted on cards. All Main Characters are Unique and Individual except for Rogue Mercenary, Resistance Private, Marine Private, and SkyNet or Alien Main Characters (unless their effect text says otherwise). Cards that confer immunity to the Dark Resource also offer immunity to Low Light Levels, and vice-versa. Marine Code of Honor is suspended for Hostile Takeover, for Marines in any Faction. Supporting Characters come into play controlled by the player that finds them, if that player has a Main Character present that can legally control them. Otherwise, order-of-play determines what Faction controls the character.

Location Deck

Must contain 8 different locations without the Past Resource (may contain Past/Future locations), plus Rubble Hills. No more than 3 distinct locations allowed. At the beginning of play, shuffle location deck and place Rubble Hills on the bottom. This deck may contain both Aliens Predator and Terminator locations, regardless of which Variant of the game is being played. At the start of the Play Location Step, each player must play one (and only one) location, while they have cards remaining in their location deck. A player may play a location from his/her hand, or the top location of the location deck. If an unplayable location is drawn, and it is not duplicated on the table, put it back in your location deck, shuffle all location deck cards, and draw again. Location Placement Rules

Terminator location placement rules apply. All Aliens Predator locations are considered Interior locations, except for Entry locations, which are Exterior. Low Cross locations are played below Exterior locations (see illustration), and represent underground Interior facilities. Interior locations are only Distinct if they are starting locations, or if they have "Distinct" listed in their effect text.
