You forgot to include the new Small Laboratory and Small Workshop in the Buildings section of FADE's profile. And what happened to the Pocket Workshop "The Foundry" specialized for the production of ammunition? And the Secret Service agent I was sending to London to act as FADE's representative and preempt further Shapeshifter incursions? Please fix. Thanks.

[Kashyyk]

Labs and Workshops fix'd. Must've missed them when comparing to my spreadsheet.

And units can't be sent out on missions in phase one, but can be in phase two

Spoiler: AMSOU's Actions (click to show/hide)

Agents are sent to Sao Paulo and Siberia to investigate the disappearances in those areas, while the third is to stay in egypt and attempt to contact resistance group fighting the fire mage, informing them of the impending reinforcements and keeping all groups involved informed of the situation.

-Egypt
Teams Alpha and Gamma are to head to egypt to deal with the fire mage, waiting until all groups are prepared and readied before acting. Standing orders are to eliminate the mage with extreme prejudice while still ensuring that any objects of research value are preserved. Civilian casualties are also to be kept to a minimum, and to let RTC forces distract and terminate any offending fire elementals prior to the mage being rendered incapable.

If our agent is successful in contacting the resistance, the agent is to relay all data they can impart to the other units, along with attempting to get the resistance to act alongside our forces, using the primarily as harassers and response units to evacuate civilians too close to any crossfire. If any information gained from the resistance makes part of the plan untenable, the units in the field are advised to adapt and work around the issue.

-Hubei, China
With the news about the landed UFO, now considered a 'Hubei' class FO, AMSOU Sends Beta team along with the newly acquired beagle to assist the chinese military in securing the site, and neutralising any exoterrestial threat within. If any allied agency is also assisting, they are either asked to wait or our troops are to wait for them to arrive. Once touched-down, Beta team is to be considered an 'exploit unit, taking advantage of any line breaks or opportunities to flank the ETs and move up further to the objectives.

All combat units are to be provided with the CTA suits and the new high-cal munitions

[Stirk]

UFO is mine this time! We will teach them the arrogance of their last round.

Send the new tank and one squad of men with the KS shotguns to the UFO, leaving Alpha and Beta MBTs in Australia to continue their work. Be careful, but don't let it get away. I don't care if you have to fire your shotguns at it as it flies away. Use our bird for this.

Send the final squad to Russia the by Russia's transport. Because I saw Russia first and am the one who focuses on vehicals! Do not confront unless necessary, we don't have a lot of anti-vehicle weapons. Instead, focus on gathering intel on what we are facing. Take a sample of any destroyed one, whether by the Russians or another WTF organization. If you do not suspect they are hostile, try communicating with them using radio waves and flashing mores-code lights. From far, far away.

((I had a question: Is it possible to join late?))

(I think there is a waiting list)

[Kashyyk]

((I had a question: Is it possible to join late?))

There is indeed a waitlist. You can create an agency if you like, and I'll add you to the list.

Agency Name: (Inumimi. (That roughly translates to dog ear~)

Primary Location: (Rabbit Island. Japan. (For those who don't know what Rabbit Island is, it's a small island off the coast of Japan that's literally teeming withferal rabbits. They aren't afraid of people and are quite willing to approach you. Island houses several abandoned facilities that used to be used for producing bioweapons and chemical agents as well. Google it~)

Agency Trait: (Superior Funding. (I wanna do scientists, but it doesn't go well with the flavor text.)

Favoured Enemy: (Folkloric and mythological creatures of the supernatural or "magical" variety. Primarily types from Asia and Europe. Examples are Kitsune and their many relatives in various cultures folklore, some forms of draconic creatures, some forms of vampiric creatures, some types of magic users, some types of werecreatures, nymphs, gremlins, and so on. Basically things that incorporate magic into their biology as a necessity. Living things that literally can't live without their magic. Undead are normally not included in this, unless they qualify as Alive, such as some types of vampires.

Flavor Text:(Founded by a more then a little eccentric but fairly wealthy businessman with a fascination for magic after the multiple recent incursions of anomalous creatures. A good number of the organization's expenses are payed out of pocket by the founder due to his many successes in commercial business. The founder's interest is a combination of finding a use for magic in the commercial market and attempting pacify volatile sapients and attempt to integrate them with society if possible. If not, well he's sure he can figure out something to do with them.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Oh, I'd love to get on that waitlist as well.

Agency Name: AMSECT (American Special Extra-dimensional Containment Team)

Primary Location: Innsmouth, MA

Agency Trait: Superior Combat Personnel

Favoured Enemy: That which lurks beyond the veil. Shoggoths, Mi-go, and other Lovecraftian abominations.

Flavor Text: In 1970, people began disappearing along the Massachusetts coastline. Eyewitness accounts indicated that "some type of frog-men" were attacking and kidnapping people. The FBI conducted an investigation, and eventually located the small town of Innsmouth, which had fallen off of almost all modern maps. Some cross-referencing revealed that this was in fact the Innsmouth famously described by H.P. Lovecraft in his Cthulhu mythos. A strike team was assembled, and the whole town was destroyed in a midnight raid. Reasoning that if Innsmouth was real, the rest of the Mythos might well be, the President ordered the creation of AMSECT to "defend the citizens of America and the world from this dark, terrible threat." The head of the newborn agency took advantage of the freshly-cleared, relatively unknown area of Innsmouth and had the first base constructed there. After several successful operations purging cultists and killing Deep Ones, AMSECT was riding a wave of success. Unfortunately, the monsters just stopped showing up. Funding dried up, and the organization was relegated to the dustbin of history. However, recent imagery of disturbing rituals and reports of strange disappearances have caused the current administration to reactivate AMSECT, with the proviso that every action must be as clandestine as possible, to prevent panic.

((I know it's derivative, but I'm a bit tired now. Might rewrite to remove the Lovecraft references.))

I guess I'll leave Russia to you guys.... I've got my hands pretty full as it is, I guess.

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Lewis is still heading to Dusseldorf, sending Infantry Alpha with him as back up.
Hydroblade and Specops Beta to Egypt to back up AMSOU's operation there. Link up first priority, dispatching fire elementals is the primary objective, letting ASMOU deal with the sorcerer, unless Hydroblade decides to go take care of it. HB DOES have permission to engage the sorcerer if he feels it's nessecary, subdual preferred, elimination allowed if forced. Allotting 10 units of Holy Water to take with them.
Alpha meeting FemAgent in Paris, with 5 units of Holy Water and 1 of the Vampire DNA devices given to the leader, to distinguish. Standing orders are best judgement, elimination probable, recruitment unlikely, but if one offers to join, allow them. But only after muzzling them somehow. This option is unlikely and should ONLY be considered if a vamp starts begging for their life. Said vamp is to be shot immediately if they turn violent.
... Beta Infantry to Hubei to back up units already there. Standing orders are "Shake enemy, stay alive."

Priority on transport given to Hydroblade and Beta with The Steed, with Alpha going to Paris immediately after in the same vehicle.
Lewis, IAlpha and IBeta will be using The Mare, dropping off Beta first due to urgency of events, with Lewis and IAlpha second drop off. Take off ASAP.

[PiotraperPL]

Buildings and some units are still not named properly in the summary. Could you fix that? :x

Spoiler: E-TAG's Actions (click to show/hide)

-> RUSSIA <-
Send "The Queen" with Omega-One and Omega-Two on board to deal with the hostile vehicles. They should proceed with complete caution, if it feels like a suicide mission, they have permission to retreat, but only then.
Send Hornet-1 to help the SpecOps squads, destroy hostiles on sight. Retreat allowed ONLY when there are no more missiles available. Equip it with our new Missile-Lock II of course.
If this mission ends with our success, SpecOps should try to acquire anything they can from destroyed vehicles. They can even try to bring back whole things, if they manage to.

If it is possible to send some engineers to aid our SpecOps in recovery of useful machinery after battle, then do it. However, they should stay completely out of the battle, make them wait at the extraction point until it's safe.

-> COUNCIL <-
Any intel on these "certain individuals" siphoning our funds? May be good to deal with them, unless that has been completely taken care of.

[Kashyyk]

Just waiting on Xvareon. Although as it's black friday for most of you I don't mind waiting 'til the weekend.

[Taricus]

And it's now after the weekend, and his last post here was about a week ago so..

[Kashyyk]

I've PM'd him, and if he doesn't post by Friday then he forfeits his position to Playergamer.

[Xvareon]

Again, I'm sorry about that. I don't even have a good excuse this time. Anyway, here's my turn.

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Small Laboratory - Research Experimental Ammunition -- specifically, white phosphorous rounds that can ignite on contact, bullets filled with a small quantity of substances like acids, poisons, holy water, or silver nitrate (which could enter directly into the bloodstream of werewolves and vampires for massive damage), and perhaps later even mutagenic solutions to rapidly atrophy tissue around the entry point (but we'll get to that later). Spend 30cr for research materials for these rounds.

Pocket Ammo Workshop - Develop blueprints for Caseless Rounds that can contain these substances, allowing for a sturdier shell and more space for the acid/poison/etc. by removing the need for a primer in the bullet. This won't necessarily equate to an increased ammo capacity since the space that would normally be saved will mostly be devoted to these experimental substances, though. Scale these rounds as necessary for pistols, SMGs, rifles of all kinds, etc. and ensure that a magazine/rod for holding said bullets is created. (Derp.)

Small Workshop - Begin producing High-Capacity Magazines, as many as we can to outfit the troops ASAP. If possible, also see if there is a way to adapt the soldiers' current tactical rigging to easily carry these mags; they may not appreciate the bulky box style at first.

Pocket Workshop "Splodeyville" - Start cranking out a few prototypes of the Advanced Tactical Helmet, and make certain of whatever glitches or lag in response time there may be, as well as other issues. We don't want this stuff malfunctioning in the middle of combat.

Pocket Laboratory "The Farm" - Look a little more into the results of the Shapeshifter Autopsy, and try to see what implications this may have for modern medicine. The extreme shapeshifting power of the creature may lend itself to Synthetic Antibodies or some similar line of research.

Dispatch Paradigm-1 and Paradigm-2 (Interceptors) to Novosibirsk to provide air-to-ground support against the vehicles, should a fight break out. Prioritize isolated vehicles and hit their rear or top armor with missiles. Only engage with cannons if it is clear the advantage is ours; they should maintain maximum range until all missiles are expended.

Begin conducting full-scale training between all three Ranger Teams on site. Show them (sanitized) footage of Storm-One in combat with the werewolves in Australia to let them know what they're up against, inform them of the new technological developments that are already being worked on to aid in combat, and make sure they understand what to do if they make contact with locals or other Agency forces. Also begin exercises among the squads and the new HWP, which will give the infantry an idea of how to work with such drones in combat, since FADE plans to make extensive use of these later. This will also give our crewmen some experience with handling them. Spend 80 cr to make it happen.

Send Storm-Two to Australia to reinforce Storm-One against the werewolves, along with 5 Crewmen equipped with tools and materials needed to repair and crew the IFV again (40 cr). If it's possible to use the Devil Fish dropship to do this both ways, do it, otherwise use regular military transport.

Storm-One is to work as close as possible with other agency forces in the field to exterminate the werewolf threat. Share weapons and ammo if they have to. Any infected individuals from the werewolf attack should be put under strict surveillance, and killed the moment they start showing signs of turning. Any info on how quickly the infection spreads (if there is indeed one, which I'm fairly sure there is) will be most valuable. HOWEVER, they are NOT to be let out of sight once night falls. The last thing we want is werewolves behind our line and flanking us. Storm-One should also have someone try to make a necklace or some sort of decoration out of a werewolf tooth; trophies like that can usually be sold as valuable collectibles, and they're also a good reminder that seemingly supernatural beings like that are, in fact, mortal, and can be killed. The outbackers may like to try their hand at this.

Send one Secret Service operative to London to act as FADE's representative there, showing that we have a vested interest in countering the threat of shapeshifters in their government. This operative should attempt to dig up any information on other possible suspects, and apprehend or kill one if possible.

Spoiler: Purchases/Construction/Expenses (click to show/hide)

Purchase another Dropship (200cr, 80cr/m). We apparently need it badly.

30cr for research materials (like Holy Water) for the experimental rounds.

40cr for repairing the IFV.

80cr for training the troops at the base.

200+30+40+80 = 370cr, 80cr/m

EDIT: Is it possible for us to produce technology that we can release on the market to garner additional funding? I realize that carries a lot of risks, too, but it may be worth it.
