2014-10-16 Aftermath in Japan

Summary

Date: 9/20 3PM to 9/21 8 PM (local time near Japan)
Location: From mountains near Kyoto, to in a Sub just off the coast
Goal: Get to an underwater experimental base
Outcome: Amazingly: On track

Review

They failed to recruit Monolith, pissed him off, pretty much have no way to salvage their relationship with him, and even worse, Sloth is near dead, unconscious, and incapacitated somewhere underground. 

The Start

The "Seven Deadly Sins" messed up pretty badly in recruiting Monolith.
Destruction realizing how poorly they have been performing send in "John Doe" and "The Arachnid" steer them onto a more productive path.  He was considering sending the kid, but thinks he is better placed elsewhere for now.

Cleanup

The new guys arrived just too late to help with Monolith.
John Doe rigged up something from junk found in the ruins of the Buddhist monastery (Monolith had some high tech comforts) and located Sloths body.
They dug him up and with healing pack, got him down to 2 wounds.
They got a text from destruction telling them to cease their pursuit of Monolith, but they tried to come up with a way to get him anyway - which starting with Sloth tracking Monoliths underground path for a bit.
Apparently someone called the police around when the battle occurred, but the earthquake trashed the roads up to the mountains and it took hours for the police to get there.
John Doe learned Japanese and looked like a monk for a while to try to gather intel, he didn't really have success.

They hiked back to where the plane was to spend the night, but the earthquake had destroyed the plane and killed the pilot.
A nearby building was in good enough shape for them to spend the night.

Moving On

The next morning Destruction told them that they had alienated Monolith and abort that mission, then  directed them to find out what happened to a team he sent to an underwater base the aliens were doing experiments at.  He gave them the location of a high tech mini sub they would need to get there.

John Doe was able to get the normal looking guys onto work teams as helpful Americans to aid in the cleanup after the earthquake that had greatly damaged Kyoto.  The Arachnid sweet talked someone he was working with and got some great intel on the sub base.

They planned their attack out and at dusk made a 2 pronged attack on the base.
They took out 6 guard drones before the drones could get an attack off.
The Arachnid sealed the "office" building some V'sori were in, and was able to keep them bottled up until they finished their mission.
And I cannot stress it enough, the mission went as smooth as velvet (a baby's bottom? - whatever)
John Doe jacked into the minisubs computer and piloted out of the dock, making an illusion to make it look submerged as they speed away.
The V'sori finally blasted through the wall of the building but by they it was too late the Sins were already gone.

Questions

Is Monolith lost to Destruction?
Why did the police show up at the monastery?
What happened to the team in the underwater base?
How will Sloth feed his secretion dependency? (he only has a weeks supply and they are now about three and half days out, also a sub isn't going to get them back as quick as a plane)
What sort of resistance might they get from the aliens - keep in mind outside of Star city they leveled most big cities, and applied great force elsewhere, only in Star City to they use kid gloves.
