==Plot Summary==
The three members of the Firebreathing Kittens (Nugh, Ozob, and Colette) have been hired by Zahra Qiu for salvage. Specifically a recent earthquake has uncovered vast amounts of underground by creating a sort of canyon. Offering $4,000, Zahra would like the Firebreathing Kittens to retrieve artifacts from an ancient and buried civilization. She warns them that there are others with the same idea and that there are the fearsome bio-titans that also stalk around in these canyons. The trio is invited to come into Zahara’s Crawler (a massive ‘mother mech’ which despite being the size of a large truck has a massive interior that shouldn’t be able to fit. Regardless, our heroic trio was invited in to don their mech suits and select mechs. 
Most notably, Colette selected a catwoman-like suit with the name “Nimble” on it. Zahra removed the tag stating that the previous wearer was her former employee and things did not end well between them. Colette gladly removed the tag for one with her own name on it. All three Firebreathing Kittens selected different mechs: Nugh selected a Hauler Mech, Ozob selected a Brawler Mech, and Colette selected a Scout Mech. Together the trio followed Zahra in her cat like mech to the canyon.
Night and Ozob climbed down the canyon with their mechs while Colette used her hover mech to gently float down. In the initial area they explored they found the corpse of a bio-titan called a Scylla, A huge gray and black spider like monster, it was decided that it could be used for biosalvage that could be used to upgrade the mechs. After gathering the pieces of the mech and finding some higher powered salvage the group returned to the crawler and got some useful upgrades.They eventually found two more caverns: one with red rocks and the other with gray rock.
First exploring the gray cavern, the trio explored and found three strange black puddles. Colette and Nugh brought one of the puddles into their cockpits but Ozob was far too scared to do the same. While Colette and Nugh examined them, the mercurial puddles began to react to the electrical fields and form humanoid figures. It turned out they were intelligent creatures. 
With new passengers in Nugh and Colette’s mechs they went to the red cavern. 
This time the bio-titan they saw wasn’t a corpse but a living and massive hostile enemy. The bio-titan was an Electrophorous, a gigantic eel-like creature that could attack with electrical arcs and shooting spikes. Combat began with Nugh going forward and grappling with it and slam it with a melee attack. Colette followed up with attacks from her mech’s linked flamethrowers while Ozob attacked with his own melee attacks. The bio-titan did massive damage to Nugh’s mech but luckily his upgraded armor prevented the damage. Zahra added her own attacks with huge swaths from her cat mech’s claws. The Electrophorous delivered massive damage to Nugh but its electrical attacks didn’t do much to Ozob’s mech thanks to its electro-magnetic defenses. 
Badly damaged, but victorious, the group salvaged from the defeated Electrophorous and attempted to leave the canyon. However, as they tried to climb out a massive earthquake struck! Thanks to her mech’s hovering capability she was able to avoid crashing but Nugh and Ozob weren’t so lucky! Ozob, despite his cowardly shrieking, was able to save Nugh and the two managed to hold on to the side of the canyon. However, as luck would have it, they discovered a hidden cave in the process. 
Joined by Zahra and Colette from the other side they explored the cave and discovered a treasure trove. Along with ancient relics, including a computer not unlike what existed on EArth in the late 90s, there were many gold and other valuable items. Filling their holding bays with loot, Ozob found a particular piece of treasure that he had long sought out: The Scepter of Retskcit! The scepter of the holy goblin god had an unfortunate side effect: It transformed Ozob! After several transformations into small animals, with Nugh’s assistance it transformed Ozob back to a goblin. 
Finally, the group left the canyon but with Colette reaching the top first, she spotted two horses being ridden by familiar people: The Duchess Mary and The Duke Edward! Joining them was Vanya Tarasenko, Zahara’s previous employee. After insisting she didn’t know them she also insisted that the group get to Zahara’s crawler ASAP. Getting in before they could catch them, the group receives their thanks from Zahara ending an eventful job.
