The world is devolving into anarchy. Governments have collapsed, wars are frequent, countries have been redefined, and the corporates are the new world powers. Biotech is commonplace, and cybernetics are too. AIs occupy a cabinet about the size of a 1970s Mainframe computer, but the technology is getting smaller and cheaper. It won't be long before the first self aware autonomous mechanisms (officially SAAMs, but everyone will call them Androids) will be developed.<br/><br/>In the field of Biotech, nearly everyone has a cranial implant. These chips, inserted into the brain using nanotechnology, have revolutionised personal communications and computing. Now, all that is required to make a phone call, access the internet, write or send a document, is a thought. The down side, of course, is that they cannot be turned off, and just as you can always know where you are via GPS, so the GPS chip can always be used to know where you are! A simple software patch can scramble this, of course, and most high level military grade implants are untraceable.<br/><br/>Within this disintegrating society, while the vast majority of people still just try to live their lives as best they can, there are elements that seek to work against the system. Ruthless corporations, rogue governments, criminal underworlds, drug cartels, terrorist cells, etc. And while some of these organisations may have their own covert operations teams, others do not, and even those that do may occasionally wish to have a lower profile.<br/><br/>Thus the conditions exist for a flourishing black ops marketplace. Soldiers of fortune, selling their services to the highest bidder, no job too big, too small or too dirty. Teams of ruthless men and women operating outside the law, doing the bidding of those that operate above it.<br/><br/>Iron Fist is a small team of mercenaries for hire. Started by a former British Army Officer, Major Anne Laughton, when she went AWOL from the SAS, three years ago. After a number of near disastrous missions, with very little profit in the last few months, Maj. Laughton is looking for a Milk Run to get the company back on it's feet.<br/><br/>Hopefully, this mission won't end as badly as the last two!<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Rules Of Play</span></span></strong><br/><br/>These are simply so that everyone is on the same page and we all know where we stand.<br/><br/>1) The GM's word is final! In the absence of the GM, the AGM (Amazon) has the last word.<span class="bbc_u"><strong>IF IN DOUBT, ASK!</strong></span><br/><br/>2) No God Moding. In other words, do not take control of someone else's character even for a moment. Do not assume that another character has done something and post your character doing something based upon that assumption. There are two exceptions: NPCs that are up for general control by any player, and by agreement with a player.<br/><br/>3) Non-Consent refers to the CHARACTER, not the PLAYER. Please respect other players Ons and Offs, especially their offs! If a player tells you no, that means<span class="bbc_u">NO</span>! If a character tells your character no, consult the player. If a NPC says no, shoot the fucker!<br/><br/>4)No one line posts. Please try to type at least two paragraphs. If you can only manage one paragraph, make it a good one. Alternatively post here in the OOC saying you are stumped for something to put in your post and I or someone else will help you out!<br/><br/>5) Please begin all posts with the name of your character, highlighted in some way.<strong>Bold</strong>is good, or change the colour. Whatever you feel most appropriate...<br/><br/>6) There will be thread hopping. When you move thread, please put a link from where you are going from to where you are going to, and<em>vice versa</em>. I will be putting instructions on how to do this in this post when it becomes necessary. NB: If it is a Mass thread-hop, only characters who are going off on their own need make a link, as I will link for everyone else.<br/><br/>7) NPC profiles are to be submitted to me for approval. I will then post them in the NPC thread. If someone submits an NPC and requests that another player take it on, please, someone volunteer. I'm too busy to run twenty NPCs in this game!<br/><br/>8) No thread hogging. If two players are on together and posting back and forth, it may be fun for them, but it can be a nightmare for everyone else. Please use common sense and common courtesy.<br/><br/>9) I hope that no one wants to drop out, but if someone does, then their character will be NPCed by myself or Amazon until such time as they are no longer required, then they will be killed.<br/><br/>10)<span class="bbc_u"><strong>IF IN DOUBT, ASK</strong></span>. Amazon and I are both very approachable, very nice people. We do bite but only during sex - she certainly does and my nipples are still sore from the last time!<br/><br/>Finally, and most importantly, Please,<br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>HAVE FUN!</strong></span></div>If you aren't having fun, please tell me and I'll see if I can do something about it?
