Spoiler: Agency Creation Events (click to show/hide)

RTC's search for elite Special Forces units bears fruit. Alpha squad is a veteran guerrila warfare unit, trained in surviving Hostile Ground and executing Hit-and-Run tactics. Beta squad was previously tasked with raiding a number of supernatural hideouts, and as such is Unshakeable in the face of the unknown.

To assist the Agencies the council has provided an unknown artifact to each:
RTC has recieved the only known remains of a vampire that could be recovered after liberable use of flamethrowers.
Whitewater Inc has recieved a sample of some sort of Alien Alloy that was blasted off of a UFO before it escaped the atmosphere.
AMSOU has recieved a book, written entirely in an unknown language. It was recovered from a necromancer after being unwillingly evicted.
E-TAG has been issued the wreckage of a robot of unknown maker. This killbot was only destroyed after a combined effort by several tank companies.
Finally, FADE has been provided with the corpse of a shapeshifter who had been impersonating a member of British Parliament before being forcibly resigned from office.

Spoiler: Known Threats (click to show/hide)

It is believed that a Wizard using Fire Magic has taken control of a small town in Egypt. He has the locals enslaved and is using them as hostages to prevent the Egyptian Military from acting. They have asked you to intervene.

In Australia a pack of werewolves have been attacking villages and towns before retreating into the outback. Whilst the Australian Military defends the Locals, they would like you to deal with the problem at the source.

Mysterious disappearences have also occured in Paris, Siberia, Sao Paulo, Kobe and Dusseldorf. The authorities are out of their depth, so have asked you to investigate.

Finally, in Vancouver, the local police are finding escaped convicts and other lawbreakers tied up across the city. The only information they have is that it is the work of a masked hero of somekind.

Welcome to Turn One, Phase One. In the first phase Agencies may buy resources, hire additional personnel, build new facilities, perform research, and manufacture equipment. Current known threats are available, which will give you an idea of what to gear yourselves towards. As you do not possess any advanced technologies your workshops can only produce modern blueprints at the moment.

Each research topic requires a certain number of RP to research. I will not tell you the exact cost, but more advanced techs will cost more. Labs contribute RP to research, as do other sources (unaccessable for now). Finally, you can invest further funds into research to speed it along. Some technologies may have a cost attached to them.

Spoiler: GM Note (click to show/hide)

Ok, I've probably not explained something obvious as I've spent so long staring at this that I've forgotten what I've told you.

[PiotraperPL]

As an E-TAG's representative I'm happy to inform everyone, that we are ready to contribute to mankind's safety. The very first thing we are going to do, is to build a Medium Laboratory, as we are currently lacking one. The Council has provided us with a killbot wreckage, and it wouldn't be the best course of action to just ignore it. Our engineers are working day and night to understand how it works and they would love to reverse engineer it, however that is not really possible, as the killbot is too damaged for that. Here is something that soldiers should keep in mind at all times: Try to keep unknown equipment in tact, as it would greatly help in development of weapons, equipment and materials.
Right now E-TAG is focusing on technological improvement rather than brute force, however we do offer our help. There are two Special Forces squads that we can send to help any of the other organisations in their tasks. To do it, we require a dropship, that will allow us to quickly send help. The money for it is already on the Council's account.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Actions:
Build Medium Laboratory (250cr)
Give killbot wreckage to engineers: They will try to understand it, replicate some of the still working parts and possibly salvage something useful out of it.
Buy a dropship (200:80cr/m)
Spend remaining 100cr on:
--Various metals (80cr)
--Electronics (20cr)

((Kashyyk, could you tell me how much satellite array would cost? That's something I may want to buy in future))

[Kashyyk]

I assume you want something like the satellites used in XCOM? For that you'll need an Uplink (you won't ever need more than one), which will cost 200cr and 40cr/m upkeep, either your own launching system (I'll get back to you) or paying a government to launch it for you (50cr a pop), and finally the satellite itself (100cr).

Now I'm more awake I've also noticed I forgot to mention a few things, so I will edit the turn post shortly.

[PiotraperPL]

I've been actually thinking about something more like this, but now because you mentioned it, X-COM style satellites are cool too.

[Taricus]

Hmm... How much space do we have on each dropship exactly? And furthermore, do we need it to deploy troops anywhere at all?

Anyway, I'll put my turn actions here, and edit them if need be.

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

-Actions:
Send the special agents ahead to Egypt, gathering intelligence on the whereabouts and abilities of the reported fire mage
SpecOps Platoon Prime is to move to assist the ADF with the warewolf problem. Given such a threat so close to our primary base of operations it would be prudent to deal with it at once, and it would further be a good shakedown for our troops outside of our preferred enemy.
The Laboratory is to begin work deciphering the book the council has given us.
Engineering is to start working on heavier armour for our troops

-Acquisitions:
Obtain two new hangars
Obtain new dropship

[Kashyyk]

There is enough space on one dropship for two medium vehicles (both the IFV and the Tank are medium vehicles) or 3 squads. If obe of the vehicles is an IFV, the IVF can also be loaded with a squad of infantry.

You don't need any transports of your own, as local militaries will be able to ptovide them, however this will take longer than using your own transports. (So if you want to beat another Agency to a threat to claim the glory of resolving it yourself, you want to get there first)

[Taricus]

Right, note to self: Design larger dropship. OR atleast one that can carry three squads.

But this does mean in the even of something happening within one's home nation/region, the local agency would be able to respond faster than any foreign agencies?

[Kashyyk]

Mistype on my orevious, they can already hold three squads.

Yes, distance to event is also taken into account. The calculations for who gets there first is quite simplistic, and if you want to know it's in the spoiler below.

Spoiler: Who arrives first calc (click to show/hide)

A linear distance from base to event is estimated, then time to travel calculated at 1000km/h. If using third-party transport add 1 hour wait time, if using third-party airstrip add 2 hour wait time.

If racing each other to events become a big thing, I'll start giving new dropships more precise speeds.

[Stirk]

Ah, everything is going well.

We don't have much investigative power, but plenty of fire power. Send the dropship filled with tanks to take on the werewolves in Australia. I expect them all thoroughly exploded, and a paycheck from the locals.

I would like to start my scientists working on an advanced anti-aircraft weapon that can be fitted to a tank, meant for taking down UFOs. Kenetic, of course, we don't need no lasers when they likely use lasers.

I will buy another 10 special operations troops, housing them in the barracks. The currently at home infantry will guard the alien artifact until we decide whether to investigate or sell it.

Finally, the worships will produce high-caliber Ks-23 shotguns with shrapnel rounds.

[FelixSparks]

Arthur McAllister, leader of the RTC, stands in front of Alpha Squadron, looking them over. They'd been a good find, and he was proud that they'd joined his ranks. For now, more important matters were at hand. "Alright gentlemen. I know you're raring to go, so I've got your first mission for you. You're going to Vancouver. There's been reports of a masked man typing up convicts in the streets. I want you to find him. Subdue if necessary, but I'd prefer to recruit him. He seems like he could be a good asset, and I think your hitting and running will do best in the urban environment. You have your orders, move out!" He salutes them, and they head to the dropship.

He heads to The Lab next, knocking and startling one of the researchers. "Gentlemen and ladies, I want your full attention on those Vampire Ashes we received. I want to know the properties of it, who it was, they're favorite meal, and anything else you can give me." He salutes and leaves, heading next to the Forge. "Alright guys, I don't know WHAT we're gonna be facing, but I want bullets strong enough to pierce through them. Get on it."

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Sent Alpha Squad to Vancouver to deal with the Vigilante, with intent to subdue or recruit over killing.
Started research on the Vampire Ashes, full points
Started development of High Caliber Rounds, full points
Everyone else is on standby.

[Xvareon]

(Sorry about the wait. Some things just came up on my end recently, is all. Here's my turn.)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Task "The Farm" (Pocket Laboratory) with looking over the corpse of the shapeshifter given by the British. Attempt to discern whether its abilities are physical or mystical in nature, and run a small battery of tests to compare the tissue/bones/organs with that of a normal human.

Task "Splodeyville" (Pocket Workshop) with designing a new type of combat helmet, complete with a computerized HUD system (with waypoint indicators, night vision assistance, etc.) and integrated short-wave tactical squad radio. If not possible to put into production yet, at least begin making the blueprints, and estimate cost of each unit.

Also in Engineering, build another Pocket Workshop ("The Foundry") and specialize it for the production of unique equipment (like Silver Bullets).

Send Storm-One along with the "Badger" IFV to Australia, using the Devil Fish dropship to get there as quickly as possible. Establish a dialogue with local forces in the region, and try to find a pattern to the werewolf attacks or any discernible reason for them to attack humans. Offer a generous sum of money (50-60cr) for experienced outback trackers to help find the werewolf pack, and teach Storm-One a little about tracking in the wilderness while they’re at it. Keep the squad in or near their IFV most of the time, with the dropship not too far away and able to provide emergency EVAC if necessary. If possible, also equip Storm-One with a small yet reliable cryogenic tissue sample storage unit (10cr) and instruction for the use thereof, to both gather samples from actual dead werewolves and any infected individuals that were attacked by them. We need to figure out what we're dealing with.

Alert! The US military has detected a UFO within it's airspace, it is much smaller than the last, but all Agencies that respond are advised to exercise caution when engaging.

Spoiler: Agency Operations to be Executed (click to show/hide)

RTC
SpecOps Alpha to make contact with the Vigalante in Vancouver. Prioritising peaceful recovery over lethal force. They assume they will be flown there by The Steed instead of making their own way.

Whitewater Inc
Main Battle Tanks Alpha and Beta will respond via Dropship to the Australian Werewolf threat with lethal force.

AMSOU
Three Secret Agents will investigate the situation in Egypt
SpecOps Platoon Prime (presumably comprised of Squads Alpha, Beta and Gamma) are to respond via Dropship to the Australian Werewolf threat with lethal force.

FADE
Storm-One, aboard the Badger and via the Devil Fish, will investigate and contain the Australian werewolf threat. A 50-60cr incentive will be offered to local outback trackers to assist in finding the werewolves and teach the squad. The squad will also be equipped with the purchased ischemic storage unit (the same kind used for organs awaiting transplant).

Welcome to Turn One, Phase Two. In this Phase agencies can respond to events across the world. Examples include: investigating the event for more info, controlling the situation to prevent it from worsening or attempting to destroy the threat entirely. Any unit can be sent to any sort of responce, but naturally certain units are better at certain things. If multiple agencies respond to the same threat, they will act in order of who arrives first, which is based on travel speed, distance and whether they're using their own transport. It is perfectly acceptable (encouraged in fact) for agencies to work together to deal with a threat. In this case they will act once the last team member has arrived.

Certain events, such as the UFO flyover, are suprise one-turn-only things. If it is not responded to, or the response is unsuccessful, there will be an immediate penalty in funding from the concerned nation. This is compared to more persistant events, which will slowly fester and anger the nation until resolved.

Spoiler: Funding, the Council and You (click to show/hide)

Each member nation (of which there are currently 16) contributes to the Council's budget. This is then split amongst the Agencies based on the Council's relative opinions on each one. Succesfully resolving a threat in a nation will increase it's funding, or if not a member of the council, encourage them into joining. The agencies responsible will also improve their standing with the council slightly. This way, even if an Agency is not responsible for the successful resolution of a threat, they will still gain a small out of funding, but the agencies involved will recieve a greater amount. Similarly, if one agency resolves a threat, it will gain all the credit, compared to if it was resolved by multiple agencies, who will share the credit between them.

[Stirk]

Well the UFO is my duty. Its what we are are good at, after all.

I quickly purchase an Interceptor and someone who knows how to use it, then send them after the UFO. I doubt we can get an AA gun there in time....

[Kashyyk]

Unfortunately, by the time it arrives the UFO will be long gone.
