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 style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">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 style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size"><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?

				Okay people, welcome aboard. Please check out the rules in the first post. Anything there you aren't happy with tell me now.<br><br>Amazon, dear, sorry but for this one it would be too weird if I called you "Mistress" OOC, when you are my subordinate. ;)<br><br>I'm finishing up the Mission Profile, getting some NPCs together, and then we'll be ready for kick off.<br><br>For the three new guys (new to me as opposed to new to E), you will need to READ each post carefully, and take your cues from it. While this RP is very story centred, I don't micro-manage. I expect you guys to be at least a little bit inventive. Play the game.<br><br>HOWEVER: Failure to obey a direct order from Anne or Niki will result in an IC bollocking for your character the first time, and a bullet in the head the second time! Screw the mission, Anne has lost too many good people because bad people screwed up! (Good in this context means good at their jobs, not "nice").<br><br>So, What I expect from you guys is:<br><br>1) Read all posts since your last one in the IC thread(s), even ones you aren't active in. There's not that many of us so it shouldn't be too hard.<br>2) Think carefully about your post. Does it maintain continuity with what has gone before? Does it result in your character disobeying a direct order? Does it move the plot forward?<br>3) If in doubt, ASK! If you think an order from Anne is dumb, your character has a right to question it, but then Anne has a right to shoot him/her out of hand! So, you might be better off asking me first, either here or by PM. I'm not infallible, I make mistakes. If you think I've made one, let me know. Anne, too is far from perfect. If you think <em>she</em> made a mistake, ask me first. The mistake could be mine, or it could be deliberate on my part.<br>4) Please don't second guess the plot. I will have twists and turns for you as the story unfolds. One or two I already know about, the rest I will make up as I go... <br><br>This mission should be a milk run. The last one was an unmitigated disaster both OOC and IC. So, I'm going to try and keep this one moving, keep it fun and keep you on your toes, while not making it too difficult - equally, it shouldn't be too easy either.<br><br>Everyone except Amazon, your first post should involve receiving a message in your implant from someone called "Iffy", asking you to report to a specific location somewhere in Europe in 48 hours time, saying that it will be well worth your while. Other than that, you are free to be doing whatever takes your character's fancy as long as it does not involve any of the other player characters.<br><br>Anne and Niki have worked together within Iron Fist for a long time. Anne knows Alexander from the war in Malaysia, but hasn't seen him in years. Other than that, no-one knows anyone.<br><br><hr><br>A word on NPCs...<br><br>Non Player Characters are of two types: Expendable and Non-Expendable. Expendable NPCs are there for the sole purpose of raising the body count. Non-Expendable NPCs are there to enhance the plot by giving the player characters people to interact with.<br><br>NPCs can be created by any player. There will be a form to fill in, on the first post of the NPC thread. Please submit all NPCs to me by PM in the same way that most of you submitted your character profiles. (Vincent, please use a computer or buy a bigger phone, I'm not going to spend my evenings reassembling your char sheets!)<br><br>If the NPC is approved I will post it to the NPC thread. <br><br>NOTE: A character created for the sole purpose of being killed in the next post does not require a NPC sheet, however, please do not create characters where there are none. For example, if I post that we are alone in a room, don't kill someone standing behind me! If there are other people in a room I will say so.<br><br>PLAYING NPCS: You may play a NPC you create youself. If you want your main character to have sex with it, that's up to you, but is very sad! ;) If you want a specific player to play a NPC you create, you must ask that player. If they decline, ask someone else. If you want the NPC to be played by someone else but don't care who, you may specify this. (NB: Having the veto on NPCs gives me first dibs on the ones I want to play. If you don't want me to play it, say so!) Lastly, some NPC's will be classed as open - that is, they may be played by anyone for a single post interaction with the player character.

				This all sounds good to me. I look forward to playing. A quick question in terms of technology. Do you want us to check with you before we create suitable equipment? Mainly, for my character, I am thinking of all the different ways that people can blow up people in the future. I mean I am doing some research on current tech in terms of landmines, explosives and things like that but when it comes to the military 70 years makes a big difference. Should I make those leaps of technology on my own or clear them with you first?

By that I mean you don't have to clear things that are already under development in reality, or that Science Fiction in general accepts will be available in about seventy to eighty years from now. Things like flechette rounds, smart rounds, and the like. Detonators will get smaller and explosives more powerful. Plastic Thermite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite) is a generally accepted development from C4, and would come in all sorts of shaped charges - very useful for cutting through locks and things...<br><br>On the other hand, if one of you wants to have eyes that emit laser beams, for example, I would have to say no, because the lasers themselves would have to replace most of the optic nerves in your head, meaning you couldn't see, and the heat from them would melt your brain anyway! Hand held particle beam weapons are also out, because the power source would take up most of your back pack and would leave you glowing in the dark and dying of cancer!<br><br>You get the picture? <br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=95275.msg4148630#msg4148630">Quote from: Vincent on 18-01-2011, 21:14:59</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Oooooh.. this is going to be fun...

Vincent have you never read any cyberpunk? William Gibson's <em>Neuromancer</em> (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neuromancer-William-Gibson/dp/0006480411) is a good place to start.<br><br>There are self aware machines, but the smallest of them occupies a box the size of the one shown on Iffy's NPC sheet. None of them are able to move by themselves. In order to carry out the thought processes of a human being AND control a mechanical body that exactly resembles a human, the AI would, at this point, quite literally need "A brain the size of a planet". (Thanks Douglas)<br><br>The biochips in people's heads are basically a natural extension of that thing you have in your hand... <br><br>No, the other thing... the electronic one, that isn't attached between your legs! *eyerolls*<br><br>In 2011, mobile phone technology has come a long way in the last thirty years, and can't really go much further, without the advent of the next big field - bioware Technology or biotech. Nanotechnology will be needed for this but is already under development! <br><br>In 2087, Nanites, microscopic robots, are be used to make individual connections between circuits in the chip and neurons in the brain. The chip then becomes an addition to the human brain. It has the ability to connect directly to the internet, make phone calls, record sound and images, down load and/or stream entertainment. It can store data in a way that the user cannot forget and has instant access to. It can do anything that a modern day PC can do. With the right software and interfaces it can fly a space ship, improve your golf handicap, it can administer drugs, create unique art work, and can even be used to kill the user, although after the first few cases of Cyber-murders, safeguards were put in place to prevent it from happening.<br><br>Cyberspace is all like a First Person MMORPG with the best hi-res graphics available. Except you don't sit at a screen and watch what your avatar is doing, you sit in a chair staring at nothing while your implant takes over all sensory inputs to your body and you become totally immersed in the experience.<br><br>Obviously, not all implants are capable of this level of connection. Most are, though. And yes, you dirty minded people, that does make cyber-sex very realistic!<br><br>People have and still do become addicted to cyberspace. Cyber-junkies or "Alts" (from the term "alternate reality") vary from the addict who needs a daily fix to the total net-head who, unless someone finds him/her in time, will usually die of thirst within three days of jacking in. <br><br>The term "Jacking in" refers to inserting a hard-link USB jack into a socket on the cranial implant, usually located either at the base of the neck or behind one ear. In the early stages of implant development this was the only way to connect to the net, usually via a hand-held or desk-top device. The rapid inclusion of mobile phone technology into most implants rendered the term an anachronism but it is still used, just as the term "Boot up" (referring to staring a computer) is still used even though computers no longer haul themselves up "by their own boot-straps" (The origin of the term).<br><br>Radio being what it is, and IR being just a form of radio, the hard-jack is still used by the military for direct interface control of it's hardware, and is also used by civilian transport drivers/pilots.<br><br>In Cyberspace, AIs are gods! The more sophisticated the AI, the more godlike it's powers. Please note that, in the Cyberspace Thread, an AI NPC is permitted a certain level of god-moding because of this!<br><br>I think that describes just about everything?<br><br>Any questions?

				Yes, this will be very much real world with some Cyberspace action thrown in when the hacker has to work on getting some work done and whatnot. Other character <em>might</em> jack in cyberspace on occassions and maybe perhaps even interact in such form. But it's something which has happened rarely so far in Iron Fist and most likely won't happen a lot.

If you are posting as a NPC, use the NPC's Name.<br>2) Past tense ONLY please. You can use first or third person, but please try to be consistent. I shall be using third person.<br>3) Anything in <em>italics</em> and without quotes is part of a private "implant to implant" conversation between a limited number of characters. The characters who can hear the conversation must be listed along side each line of the conversation unless it is obvious - for example in my first post, the conversation is clearly between Anne and Iffy as only one other character is there and she is asleep anyway. If your character sends a private message to someone when in the company of more than one character and doesn't specify who, we will assume it's been sent to everyone.<br>4) No one-liners. Please post at least one paragraph of at least 4 lines, unless you have a VERY good reason not to.<br><br>Okay, guys and gals, lets get NASTY and have some fun!

				Okay guys...<br><br>Get posting....?<br><br>You may post in any order you like. I only ask that you don't "run away" with the thread. What I mean by that is, if you find yourself on-line at the same time as one or two others, use a little common sense. It's one thing to have a little back-and-forth with one or two other characters but there are six of us in the game (five currently active.) So, if you want to have a little back-and forth, go ahead, but maybe limit it to two or three posts each and then wait for everyone else to get on and react.<br><br>Remember that, as of now, none of you have met any of the others, and you don't know that the message has been sent to anyone except you, so any "back-and-forth" is out of the question anyway. The only exception is that Kitty and Iffy might have a quick chat on the Cyberspace thread.<br><br>I would also ask you to wait until I have set the scene regarding the safe house in Switzerland before you describe your arrivals there.<br><br>Thanks guys.

				Honestly, I don't feel having someone step in to her shoes is a good idea. The character has been set up for a fall.<br><br>My vote would be for her to be moved to an NPC to have her killed off at some point during/after the first mission.

				I vote to do without her character this mission and hunt for a new team member. The truth is that I would be more than willing to play a second character but I don't want to play that character.

				Hi Aurelie, welcome home.<br><br>I'm not sure you would want to take on the character now... ;) She doesn't seem to have any kneecaps left!<br><br>The reason we need a sys-op is because an AI is unable to react to unexpected events. For example, if someone you'd had a falling out with turned up at your door to apologise, chances are you'd invite them in and talk it over. Iffy was unable to do that. Her programming states that unless someone has an appointment or a password, they are to be kept out.<br><br>Translate that to a combat situation: an AI will follow it's orders blindly. A human Sys-Op will interpret those orders to fit the tactical situation and will request clarification of them if the situation changes. A human Sys-Op, working in conjunction with an AI, is the most powerful form of electronic warrior going.<br><br>And guys.... In case you hadn't noticed, we actually did have TWO Sy-Ops in the game.... With Kitty out of it, we now have one! Don't panic, folks, Amz and I have it all worked out!<br><br><strong>Odin:</strong><br><br>Is Alex seriously getting cold feet? In other words, do you want out? If so, fair enough.

				Just so everyone knows, Amazon decided to split the elimination of Kitty into two posts so everyone could react to the first part. (And yes there is a lot of chatting and planning behind the scenes, and yes she does know what the mission is, so does Aurelie, and no, neither of them will tell you. They have been sworn to secrecy on pain of... well, pain! (Actually, lack of it in Aurelie's case and my refusal to receive it in Mistress' case!)<br><br>Once Amazon has done what she'd going to do, I will post a little explanation for the team. Obviously, the OOC reason for the character's untimely death is that the player is no longer with us. The IC reason, as Kacy points out, has got to be more than simply not wanting to get naked!<br><br>In fact, it will be a combination of things, primarily putting the team in danger, lack of respect her superiors, refusal to obey an order... The original idea was that Niki strips Kitty to humiliate her in front of everyone as a punishment for barging past her at the door. But with Vincent's untimely removal, the character's refusal to obey an order is all the excuse we really need.<br><br>In a combat situation, a soldier refusing to obey an order from a superior officer can be summarily executed by that officer, quite legally, although it rarely happens in Western armed forces. Frequently happens in the armies of less democratic countries! What we have is effectively a terrorist cell where everyone is an outlaw.<br><br>That last word, "Outlaw", tells the whole story. They are "with out law". With no law to govern them, the strongest rule. Niki is, basically, proving a point, that she is the Beta female in the pack, and she defers only to Anne's Alpha.<br><br>Your characters are all used to working alone. Niki's job is to very quickly weld a group of loners into a team. And the easiest and quickest way to do that is through fear. If they fear fer, and she respects Anne, the logic is that they will also respect Anne.

				I was discussing this with Chrystal just now, and we reached the conclusion together..if Emrys was active, even online from time to time but just too busy to post, it would've made sense.

				Okay, I'll edit. Like I said in the rules in post 0 on this thread, I do make mistakes! Also, if Emrys comes back before we get to the point his character is killed, he gets the chance to rejoin, provided he apologises for vanishing and promises not to do it again...

				I second Chrystal. That's how it had happened the last time. We were just about to start some seriously badass antics upon reaching the place of the mission and suddenly the game died a slow death. It was sad to see it happen especially after the amount of time and effort Chrystal had spent in drafting the wonderful mission.

The existing mission won't work with just four, however. So I'm abandoning it. Lets' just assume it went as planned and the guys all buggered off to spend their money. <br><br>So the four women in the team get together for a drink and after a steamy lesbian orgy that lasts all night, start thinking that they'd be better off without the men.<br><br>And then the next mission arrives and it is perfect for just the four of them...<br><br>So, what skills do we have?<br><br>Anne is a good tactician, she is ruthless, she's a damned good shot, she can fly anything...<br>Francine is a puppy. She's cute and cuddly, on the outside. But on the inside she is hard as nails and as ruthless as the rest...<br>Niki is a vicious Bitch (*grins at mistress*), and is a mistress of disguise, she is also skilled in interrogation techniques.<br>Kacy is great at getting into places, great at stealing things, a good enough shot but best at close-quarters combat.<br><br>Any skills I've forgotten? Aurelie, please feel free to invent some new skills for Frannie if you wish.<br><br>Let's have a bit of a brain-storm and see if we can't come up with a mission between us.<br><br>My first thought is, maybe we hijack a private aircraft belonging to a senior politician or corporate mogul and take it (and the plane's former owner) to someone who is going to pay us for him/her.

				<br>&nbsp; That's too bad - I guess that is the problem with running big games :(. I liked the idea!<br><br>&nbsp; I'm not sure where I stand - I enjoy the character, but a big part of the draw for me was the thrill of danger, combat, never knowing if you'll make it out, whether or not something will go wrong. I would enjoy continuing, but with just a couple people it sounds like there is a danger of it becoming more A-Team than Dirty Dozen... fun, but no one really worries things might not turn out all right. And if you are burned out yourself, that doesn't bode well.<br><br>&nbsp; That said, if the game continues I will too, at least for enough time to see how it pans out. I'm not sure what kind of relationship she'd have with the others, but that can be figured out.<br><br>&nbsp; If we do go on I think it might work to keep recruitment open - potential players could go over the thread, get an idea of the rp and if it is for them, with a clear agreement that if they play and fall silent for an aggravating amount of time, they will lose control of the character and be killed off. Might liven things up and keep it from getting too familiar?

Whilst there, I honestly cared about nothing else besides him, so posting or messaging was simply out of the question for me at that time. Its hard to see the man that raised you in such a state, and I could barely deal with it.<br><br>And so I will be making a full return to E, and my time dedications to this group will become full again, if I am welcomed back that is.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Odin.

				Indeed. We're kinda waiting on that car... Oh, don't worry about transport. Anne has a MPV parked in the garage... but the general idea was that you took one car into town and brought two back... Anne is probably going to have words about that... *snigger*<br><br>Still. Too late to do anything about it now.

				Heh... Actually, getting another car wasn't strictly necessary. See, the problem is that everyone arrived via their own private means of transport and everyone is expected to leave the same way when the job is over. The car you were supposed to get is going to be wrecked as a distraction to catch the woman Niki is going to replace... If you hadn't wanted to keep the car you drove down there in, and had told Anna that, she would have simply used that car as the distraction, and save a possible cause of the job being compromised!<br><br>The whole idea was to get a car that could be destroyed, without leaving anyone with no transport. Destroying the car you went to town in rather defeated the object of the exercise.<br><br>But, the posts stand. The whole point of this RP is that if someone fucks up, whether a big fuck-up or a small fuck-up, that fuck-up will have consequences which may or may not affect the mission.
