vincent grew up in jersey to a family that was "connected", we'll leave it at that. the heat came down on his pops and he wanted to steer clear of the whole thing, so he went to the military. he figured himself a badass, so he picked the seals.

the sarge is a tough old soilder and the immeadiat commander of the seal operators. he can come off as a hard ass at times, but once he knows you and you respect him, he's a cool and collected guy. he joined up at age 17 with a waiver from his parrents, went marines force recon, then seals.

unit history:

lets start at the begining. first there was jack cutter. jack came from a line of special forces operators that streached back to wwII where his grandfather was a frogman that went on to become a udt in korea and finaly was rolled over to the tac staff tasked with training the fledgling seal teams. his father followed his example and served with the teams with destinction in vietnam, desert storm, urgent furry, just cause, enduring freedom and other missions that never made the headlines. his father retired from the service and now works on the training staff for militech's special opps teams based in night city. that brings us to jack, 32 year old 3rd gen special forces trooper with lots of history in the special forces. joined at 18 and went ranger right off the bat, then went seal 4 years later rose in rank to a high of lieutenant comanding a squad of the finest soilders in the nations arsonel. then, came one of the dreaded R.I.F.'s (reduction in force), and his team was one of the units on the chopping block (each regional comand had to loose 1 team, and team 8 gave his boys the axe since they were the least senior of the teams). this move wasent totaly unexpected, jack had sensed it comming years before and had planned for this eventuality. he instructed his team to stash away 10% of their checks so that when they got downsized they could go private and earn some real money. when the RIF hit, the teams first move was a fund raising junket, arranged through jacks father. the team was hired to probe militech facilities security systems durring scheduled evaluations for 3 months for which they received 2 months salary and the rest in militech ammo at a discounted rate (the batches were tested to ensure it wasent bad ammo). the team had working capitol and ammo and militech had training experience and video of a seal team in action, the better to repulse sutch an atack should the government step in. now, equiped and funded, the team is looking for a score to take to cash in after years of meager government pay.

few disclaimers first off, 1. theese guys are 2d and lacking my usual backgrounds. reason? i had to make 13 of them in a short period of time, i'll flesh them out in game. 2. theese guys are stacked with heaps of skill. from whence did they come? home of the brave's rules for special forces training and dive school rules from firestorm:stormfront. could this be considered muntchkin? yes, but i was given permission to do so, deal with it. 3. you'll notice they have lots of biowear armor. thats because thumpers game does not utilize armor layering penalties, and after investing years of training into theese guys the military doesent want to loose their investment to a lucky shot.

ok, with all that out of the way, please feel free to use these guys as the wrecking crew against your players or for whatever other perpouses you want.

the prices are high because domestic supply is low. petrochem lost the second corp war to sov oil, thus they now controle less than 20% of the worlds oil. sov oil has more oil than they know what to do with but petrochem doesent. its an economic thing, supply and demand. besides, the supply's are supose to run dry in 2050 (corp book 3), everybody's trying to milk that cash cow while its still around.

"yeah, that'd work too, i'm just use to working with tech for people that are up tight about secure communications. but, your way should do the trick, for what we need at least."

thumper, i've got a question for ya. i was browsing over your home page the other day and i noticed the 2 links under the armor section about how to use armor without panalty, and i also took note that the examples compounded normaly, without the v2.1 modifications (which were extreemly harsh and totaly unrealistic i might add, but thats just me). question is, whill you be running armor the same way for this game, where sp's just add together? that would be cool, and would save us the trouble of having to pack a heavy trench just to shake off a 9mm. anyways, please let us know.

<<cut: "Shrap?  Tell the lady." >>

"right, well first off we need mastoid commo units. secondly we need them fitted with ecm comm-scramblers and finialy if you could toss in teclectronics modulation chips we should be all set. obviously we need them to be syncronised, and i belive the solo has a privatly owned unit, we'd like the same mods done on it and to have it synced with the rest. do you have that kind of equiptment? ohh, and we'll need the frequency keys so after we leave here we can change frequency settings as needed. that should do the trick, assuming rat has the pockets to bankroll them that is."

"well, i dont know about the rest of you, but i'm going in. got to make shure the tech dealer doesent screw us with sub-standard gear..." shrap looks over to rat "and i need make shure our man rat doesent get cheep on us and forgo encription units...we need at least 2 encryptors rat, fyi"

shrap exits the van and waits for rat.

btw, node doesent have dive school info up, so here's the low down for people lacking stormfront.

training lasts aprox 6 weeks. (btw. pre-requesit stat numbers for acceptance are bod 5, int 4, cool 5. no weeklings, morons or psychopaths). the training grants the player with 12 points to use as follows, with no more than 4 points in any one skill:

underwatter weapons

endurance (min+2)

swimming (min+2)

underwatter survival(min+2)

at least 3 points in either:

nuscuba (scuba diving with air tanks, rebreathers, etc.)

or pilot:hardshell/evpa (underwatter power armor for deep dives, extreemly expensive gear.)

in case some of you dont know about this site, a place called node 16 has a large compelation of official info from almost every cyberpunk supplement made, weapons, cyber, gear, new rules introduced along the way, and all the alternate character gen stuff. for those that dont have many books, this is a verry good resource. the link is http://www.node16.co.uk/

go to the data tab, then scrole down to the online cyberpunk refference guide. its in pdf, so you might need to download the file reader first.

more prefferable to that, everybody dig out firestorm:stormfront and acquire the 12 points in aquatic skills by saying you worked for a corporation as a diver, or whatever, for a short stent. not durring the war, just whenever it fits your background. knowing how to dive might prove usefull for an incursion or god forbid, if we get driven into the sea.

thumper, i was just flipping through my copy of corp book 3 yesterday to brush up on sov-oil a bit. it's pretty obvious fans wrote some of it, because i was agast when i got to the npc section. they have typical soilders with 4 10's in stats and close to 70 stat points, and more skill points than morgan blackhand. worse yet, there's supose to be 300,000 of these guys spread across the country on guard duty and sutch.

do you plan to bring petrochem npc's back into the relms of reality for this game? i only ask because you mentioned we might get involved with them somehow. thanks

there's a new game starting up on this board soon.  thumper is running it so send him a message if you want more info. also, check out this related tread, there's some info about the game there.

i have a question for you actualy.  is the economic situation simmilar to today in Azerberjan?

just in what i've picked up i show GDP per capita at aproximatly $3,000.00, un-employment rate of 20%, etc.

is that about on par with your future version of it or has the situation shifted up or down since?

btw, i'm getting theese numbers from the cia world fact book, located at odci.gov, for your refference.

oh, stupid question, but is it still land locked? i wouldent put it past someone to try and link the seas to the ocean, would save billions in shipping costs. thats all for now.

well, i'd love to run the team of comandos, seems like a cool idea. can you give me any perticulars to work with, like are we talking aquatic raiders, mercs, current/former corprat team? do you just want them to fight, or also be able to use heavy ship board ordinance. also, minimum/maximum # of guys? just as a working thesis, i'm thinking 2 teams of 4-5 guys each, so 8-10 total, plus the comander (me). then having those team members specilize to a degree (recon, hvy weapons, 2 grunt rifle men, demo/bretchers. possibly 1 rifleman cross trained with decent first aid just in case). sound good?
