Just picked up Challenge 65. There's no more on how the Virus works,
but first hints that's it's running around are in the Traveller News Service.
A bunch of K'kree ships got zotted by naval forces for showing improper
transponder codes, and in our friendly neighborhood Domain of Deneb,
some Aslan in the Patrol (with a Azhanti HL class cruiser missing for 3+
years) nearly got zapped after they showed up at the Trin naval
base in a hurry with their transponders disconnected. They had to use
one-time-code authentication to identify themselves. I'm willing to
place money (small money 8-) on them having been on a special mission
in the imperial core, that they figured out what's going
on, "safed" their ship by disconnecting the Deyo circuits, and run for
the Domain with the news and warning...
Or maybe not.
Btw, it's the Horror special issue. One horror MT adventure (knockoff
on The Thing and perhaps T:2) and one hard times adventure. And a
Merc:2000 adventure by yours truly (I think I may have blown any chance
of ever GMing T:2k or Merc at cons with this and `Suprise Party`).
PS: just got some info from Michelle Sturgeon at GDW. Don't bother
sending in MT submissions; they're putting off accepting anything
until the TNE rules are out. If you get a TNE set somehow, then
by all means, submit something for it, but not until then 8-)
