Overall the operation was a success, even in Jennivieve Life managed to get away. The pathogen we encountered in China has been identified as the
Feral Pestivirus. It seems to affect only swine, and the virus seems to be responsible for the extreme mutations to a more primitive, albeit monstrous, form. The
Bullswine it creates are incredibly resilient, but good teamwork wins the day.
IT IS NOW THE BIO PHASE. Remember, you have two actions and can either use both to create new pathogens or modify existing ones, or use both actions to create a
Boss BOW.
Toxoplasma Corpus: Based off of the Toxoplasma Gondii parasite. T.Corpus infests hosts as eggs in any bodily fluid that hatch worm larvae and spread throughout the hosts, ending in the brain, although an infected subject will have parasites throughout the body. T.Corpus eats the body's tissues and takes over a multitude of system. Infection results in rabid or feral behavior until host death. T.Corpus eggs spread through vomit, feces, blood, mucus, and saliva. Adult parasites act as a coagulant and will actively work to seal wounds. The parasite can live it's entire life cycle within a single host, but can just as easily survive outside of it, provided the parasite is within a bodily fluid. T.Corpus targets vertebrates, but most readily finds it's hosts in humans. Stockpile: 3 (1/3 Deployed)
Husk Hivers: Living beings turned into nests for an aggressive swarm of parasitic bees. The entire process of infection is incredibly painful and drives the host to madness. The bees come in Lesser, Greater, and Queen. Lesser and Greater Hivers are slaved to the Queen of their Husk, and can only go 15 meters from her before losing her scent and their minds and dying. Lessers take care of the nest and expand the hive while Greaters attack any animal or human that gets too close, spreading eggs with their stingers. Once the host dies, the Lesser Hivers devour the corpse and Queen while the Greaters go into a frenzy and die. Hivers will retreat into the hive in the presence of honey bees. Stockpile: 2 (1/2 Deployed)
BRIGANDINE: A highly protective and advanced CRBN suit with good mobility made of plastic, rubber, and aramid fibers. Very durable. Has an amazing air filtration system and backup air supply. The helmet has a powerful lamp and video camera as well as full communications suite and HUD for displaying teammate statuses. A forearm computer allows for control of the suit's subsystems. Stockpile: 5 (0/5 Deployed) // Deployment Limit: Platoon
Samurai Edge: A 9mm semiautomatic handgun with a 15-round magazine. Reliable. Stockpile: Infinite (0/- Deployed) // Deployment Limit: Company
Bioweapon Elimination Engagement Gun (BEEG): A 3kg, 54cm carbine firing special 6.8mm bonded bullets at 1000RPM that mushroom while remaining intact. Comes with 10 and 30 round magazines, very comfortable one piece polymer furniture, two rails, and a bayonet. Stockpile: 3 (0/3 Deployed) // Deployment Limit: Company
Major Cedric Corbec and Medtronic Security (Company)
Hero: Major Cedric Corbec
Hero Traits: Special Operator (he excels in most combat situations), Experienced Officer (military actions are more effective under his command), Wounded Warrior (slightly less accurate at longer ranges)
Unit: Medtronic Security
Unit Traits: Hardened Veterans (less likely to snap or flee when things get bad or weird), Organized (the size of the unit doesn't impact the efficacy of operations better suited to somewhat smaller units, and they multitask more effectively)
Equipment: N/A
Africa: 0
Antarctica: 0
Asia: +50 (Friendly)
-Human Wave: Taking a leaf out of Chinese war doctrine, making units at a Company level is now slightly easier.
-Rising Industry: Asian nations are developing booming industrial economies, and we can take advantage of this. It is easier to produce larger numbers of low-tech equipment.
