The Bunker
The party tried the other door from the entertainment room, which led into an overgrown farm with a group of fire beetles eating/gathering some of the various crops growing within. Both sides attacked, and the beetles were exterminated, though at the cost of severe burns to Geordi's leg, which were repaired using a syringe of NanoBoost.
The door on the far side of the farm was covered in icicles and frozen shut, but Kaktis was able to force it open to reveal another ice-covered room filled with a mist of freezing nanobots, this one holding several partly-assembled plastic robot shells formed from nozzles connected to vats containing something black, and computers to control them. Geordi donned the intact environment suit and went to examine the computers, but found a group of fire beetles hiding out.
Fortunately, he noticed the beetles due to their tell-tale glow, and he avoided being ambushed, though two of the beetles bit onto his thigh through the suit and pulled him down. The other two went after Ben and Kaktis, but were exploded by Ben's plasma rifle before they could do much. Kaktis charged at the beetles on Geordi, and stabbed one, which exploded and caused the other to explode as well, sending shards of shell through the suit, ruining it and injuring Geordi, who passed out.

GURPS Blood Drive Session 6: Bandits and Beetles

The Dragon Slayers
Early next morning, the party headed out with about two dozen knights and the wizard Merle to a wide, four-lane street in bandit country. The journey was fairly short, quickly bringing them to a dense ruin of multi-story buildings, but they were uninterrupted though Geordi and Ben saw people watching them from the ruins. They came to a stop at a T intersection, about 1km away from the dragon's "mountain", which they could see was actually three buildings that had collapsed into each other, covered in rubble.
Merle started setting up the rocket launcher on a tri-pod, and the party were instructed to watch the buildings to the right, as the motorcycle-mounted knights couldn't maneouver at close quarters without dismounting. Once Merle gave the ready signal, Giles and a squad of four knights rode off towards the mountain to rile up the dragon, and shortly after they left, the bandits attacked.
Three floors above the party, they opened fire on Kaktis, who was standing in the Doom Buggy's turret mount, but their bullets just bounced off the armoured vehicle. Ben got out on the far side of the car, while Geordi run up to the building's front door to storm it with his shotgun, and Kaktis hosed down the area three floors up, only chipping away bits of building due to the sharp angle.

GURPS Blood Drive Session 5: The Duke and The Dragon

Kaktis - Super-Strong Cactus Mutant
The Duke
The giant albino killigator lunged out of the darkness at Kaktis' neck, and brought him down down under the knee-deep water where it started to deathroll him. Ben dropped his flashlight to ready his rifle and yelled at Geordi to get his light on the Duke, and fired off a quick burst once the beast was illuminated. Somehow, the gargantuan lizard dodged the gunfire, landing and spinning around to swipe at Geordi with its tail, but missing.
Kaktis held his breath and struggled, trying to punch the Duke, but to no avail, all while it continued to worry ferociously at his neck. Ben took another shot, this time hitting the beast square in the face, damaging its jaw, freeing Kaktis, and... knocking the killigator right out. They remarked on how lucky they were that it hadn't gone for Ben or Geordi, as either of them would likely have been killed.
After Geordi bandaged Kaktis up, the mutant extended his arm spines and sawed off the Duke's head. The party trudged back through the swamp to the old man, wary of ambush from the other group hunting the Duke, or possibly more killigators. They were uninterrupted, however, and the old man thanked them for saving his pigs and told them that the star had fallen across yonder lake, behind hangman's hill, down by the ol' nucular plant.
