A secret organization known as Black Moon has infiltrated the highest levels of global governments, threatening to trigger a series of catastrophic events that could lead to world domination.

Campaign Start Example:
The team is dropped into Eastern Europe under the cover of night, tasked with infiltrating the underground Black Moon facility. Mira uses her Locksmith skill to bypass the entrance’s security system while Elena hacks into the facility’s network using her Digital Infiltration skill, ensuring they have control over the building’s cameras. Li takes position, ready to provide cover.
Inside the facility, Elena detects an approaching security patrol and uses her System Override power to disable the alarms. As the guards close in, Mira creates a distraction by spending power points on Distraction Tactics, allowing the team to slip further inside without detection. Meanwhile, Li sets up for a possible ambush.
As the team reaches the control room, Elena quickly analyzes encrypted data using her Data Analyst trait to uncover the Black Moon plan. When things go south, Li unleashes Suppressive Fire, forcing the guards to roll with disadvantage as Mira eliminates a key target with her Silent Takedown ability. The team extracts the critical data and prepares for an explosive escape.
