This is a tribute to the Lego Rock Raider sets that started 1999, but were dicontinued 2000. The only set I was able to get in those two short years wasn't a set actually: it was the PC game. Even though I can't find an old enough computer that will run it, I'm making this RPG as a remembrence, or such, to the Rock Raiders (I like the fact they have the Power Miners out now, but, seriously, 10 YEARS LATER!!!???)(Also, like title says, this is a BETA of upcoming Rock Raider forum games)
Date: June 20, 2500 Location: Quadrant 9, over looking the planet of Cortis 9
being spoken by Chief: It has been 400 years since the Rock Raiders have returned to Earth. They have been able to succsesfully colonize 6 planets in 3 solar systems. They have come to this final planet before they journey home, but it seems that somebody has gotten ther first: holes drilled everywhere on the facing surface. A scout sent down to the surface said they were man-made. Looks like the Rock Raiders have been unknowningly been submitted to a crystal compettition, against a new band of miners, called the Power Miners. Before you are dropped onto the planet from the LMS Explorer, can you please tell us a little about yourself?:

Creatures of the Caverns Down in the Cavers, yo have more to worry about besides your competition. Rock Mosters, Ice Monsters, Lava Monsters, Giant Slugs, and Reaper Bats are the norm, but every now and then, another creature of the dark shows it's face: Prepare for anything!!

Thats not the Ability your Class can do (actually, thats not an ability at all), so I changed it for you.
You are sent down to Crotis 9. You see large holes everywhere. You see two more teleportation beams behind you. One, you hear screaming, and a guy lands flat on his face. The other, a women in a pilots helm. "Need to fix that dang teleport," grumbled the guy, getting up. "I'm Jet, this is Sparks," said the women. What do you do?

(Well, originally on the Rock Raiders PC game, you are underground, and have to mine crystals to get back home. But here, you are investegating Crotis 9 for a possible human colonization point, or maybe other things, such as ore or crystals. Maybe even friednly alien life. Up to you, your the guy playing)
You see holes everywhere. All of a sudden, you he a large explosion from below you. What do you do?
(also, you don't need to quote your sheet every time, just copy and paste it over to your next post)

"Well, since miners are of basic class, They can build the teleporter and a few other buildings to help bring some more men down here," said Doc. What do you do?
