NewTab

Nexus Experimental Weapons Testing And Biological (NEWTAB) is a faction created by ShootDaCheese. They would have made their debut in the cancelled Jailbreak 2 and the yet-to-be-released Madness NEWTAB: Requisition. They would also be featuring in a minor role in Maxification 2.
== Backstory ==
NEWTAB was originally NEWT (Nevadan Exceptional Weapons Technologies), a company within Nexus City's Industrial Sector which had made a profit in the conceptualization and manufacturing of firearms. In need of more weaponry, the NEXUS had annexed the company and moved it out into Somewhere, giving them isolation from prying eyes other than the NEXUS themselves. The newly named NEWTAB (Nexus Experimental Weapons Testing And Biological) was retrofitted to also conceptualize weapons formed from or attached to the citizens of Nevada, of which its remote location allowed such unethical scientific practices. Along with their main base of operations, Base Lambda, NEWTAB had also created several blacksites guarded by a slew of their own militarized units out in the desert housing who knows what within and several caches of supplies in the case of a catastrophic event unfolds for the shadowy faction.
== Units ==
<tabber>
|-|Experimental =
==== Subject ====
People from all around Nevada, taken from many different factions including the NEXUS. Kept in cells deep underground and taken out to be the guinea pigs in one of NEWTABs horrid experiments. They're used as the base for several of the biological experiments produced by the scientists and surgeons of the faction and as range targets for weapons testing.
==== Recycled Patients ====
In the early days of NEWTAB, they were sent the insane patients created by the NEXUS's project byproducts to be used in testing. Since then they've become a lesser and lesser used group due to no longer recieving shipments of them from the NEXUS. This had forced NEWTAB to find an alternative, of which they found in kidnapping the denizens of Nevada. Criminally insane.
==== NEWTAB Brawler ====
Heads secured with a device wrapping around their head and feeding them a constant drip of the NEWTAB's own combat stimulant, these Subjects had gone completely insane, mentally transforming into psychopathic, sadistic, suicidal beserkers. Their creation was made to make a discordant, chaotic distraction notmeant to survive, but as they see it their only purpose in life now is to cause pain to whatever is near in the worst ways possible, having no sense of self preservation and even willing to run in the line of gunfire to reach their prey. Nine times out of ten they go after non-NEWTAB people thanks to a a deterent 'programmed' into them, though if there isnt anything harmable in the vicinity, that doesent mean that they wont turn on their captors.
==== Scrambler Headgear ====
A versatile helmet used for many mind manipulation purposes including brain washing, memory removal or changing, and or lombotomization. In terms of the ones worn by Test Subjects, the helmet has been implanted with an AI that had lombotomized the wearer and taken control of their body and is programmed to attack whoever may be the target often taunting them with text faces on their screen and having no self preservation or even motivation to keep their controlled body intact. 
==== Soundcatcher ====
A more docile experiment when kept in a nice, quiet room; of course, those are few and far between. The Soundcatcher is normally non-active but as the name suggests it catches sounds. Whenever it hears anything it will immediately rush to the source and tear it apart. This makes them particularly effective early in raids as unaware enemies'll be too confused and too loud to discern their purpose just yet. On the flipside they're highly ineffective in larger gunfights as there would be too much noise to make them effective. 
==== NEWTAB Teleporter ====
As of yet one of two successful dissonance reliant experiment developed by the minds of NEWTAB. Tech at NEWTAB using dissonance energy harvested from the Other Place has given birth to an experimental prototype robot that stores dissonant energy within itself and uses it to teleport moderate distances within reality. How it does so is by using the Other Place itself as a sort of slingshot to go from there and end up somewhere else in Nevada, being within the Other Place itself for a few microseconds. Teleporting however uses a lot of its stored energy causing it to need to recharge after three teleports, in most cases making it to shutdown immediately as it quickly recharges.
==== NEWTAB Strider ====
The as of yet one of the only two successful dissonant reliant experiment developed by the minds of NEWTAB. Experimenting with the energy and its effects on the Nevadan body has allowed the creation of this new abomination of reality. Obtaining dissonant energy and storing it in a core contained on their chest allows them to use a chunk of it to quickly speed forward a short distance not unlike a water strider, leaving a purple shadow and trail in its wake. Practically driven insane but engineered to be more friendly to NEWTAB makes these things a hazard to whatever they be set on.
==== MAG Brawler Experiment: Bruiser ====
The Brawler experiment but MAGnified.
|-|Combative Units = 
===Security===
The lowest rank in the NEWTAB command heirarchy and within Base Lambda usually 
the first to respond to an incident. Used as guards for the most part, carrying 
submachine guns, pistols or shotguns with a night stick or club for closer 
engagements. Their job is to recontain if able and if not then terminate. 
===Soldier=== 
An all purpose soldier of the NEXUS and used for all sorts of jobs within NEWTAB. 
Commonly operating in teams of four, each team usually has two riflemen, a 
shotgunner and a submachine gunner/grenadier. By far the most common NEWTAB unit.
===Blitzer===
A direct upgrade to the Soldier, Blitzers are light, swift units usually 
preffering to operate alone or in teams of two. Skilled in melee combat, they're 
most often seen with an axe, sword, knife or even a combination of the three. 
Some of them have fast enough reflexes to block a bullet or two or even deflect 
it back. Along with melee weapons they'd sometimes carry a small pistol or a 
couple throwing weapons to slow down their target. Their first and foremost goal 
is to capture/recapture whatever they're sent out to get, often being the second 
on scene.
===Shield=== 
A direct upgrade to the Soldier, Shields are armored, shield bearing units used 
to box their targets in and provide cover and support for their fellow NEWTAB 
units. Being heavier units, these guys are usually equipped with heavier firearms 
such as grenade launchers and heavy shotguns. Shields often group up in lines to 
form a moving wall to cut off escape routes and herd their target in the propper 
direction. Armored and on guard.
===Electro===
A new experimental unit headed by the rogue Dr. Maximillian Archis, developed 
from heavily modified NEWTAB personnel to be able to generate and transfer 
electricity at will via contact with their skin. Such power gives them the ability 
to electrocute or revive to an extent fellow Nevadans, restart or short circut 
electronics, and other uses. Their purpose is to serve alongside Soldiers to they 
often have the same weaponry as Soldiers. Powered up.
===Jannisary=== 
The result of NEXUS Supports becoming NEWTAB personnel, the Jannisaries are 
stronger, taller, and tougher than their co-workers. With such strength they can 
easily carry heavier weapons such as grenade launchers and LMGs, the works. They 
can also often fill the roll of a pack mule, carrying tons of bags and pouches. 
===I.F.C===
The IFC (In Field Commander) is the highest rank in NEWTAB just below the 
scientists themselves. Lightly armored, they're also lightly armed, usually only 
carrying a pistol or revolver. They take upon themselves the roll of commanding 
NEWTAB personnel, ordering where they need to go and what to do. Their presence 
isnt often called upon.
|-|Specialist Units = 
===Medic=== 
A medical specialist branching off from the Soldier, Medics go into combat to 
rescue whoever they deem able to be saved, patch them up and send them off. 
Unlike Soldiers, they usually work in teams of three, having two soldiers using 
submachine guns and one soldier geared with a syringe gun loaded with syringes 
full of a combat stimulant developed by NEWTAB. The two medics with firearms 
usually cover the syringe medic while they look for personnel to save, and 
otherwise carry other medical equipment in the case that their syringe man is 
killed. 
===Recon===
Not many NEWTAB personnel go outside of Base Lambda, the Recon is one of those 
who venture out into Somewhere hunting for whatever be their target for the day. 
Recon units ride out into the desert in teams of two along the remains of the 
highway system on motorcycles, carrying sniper rifles and pistols to be able to 
stop somewhere and keep watch from afar. Usually their job is to look for 
Nevadans to kidnap along the highways or keep watch on whatever may be of 
interest to NEWTAB. They'd rather keep a note of seeing you before you see them.
===Pilot=== 
Pilots do what their names suggest, fly aerial vehicles for NEWTAB such as 
helicopters and cargo planes. Most likely being inside of an armored flying 
vehicle at all times while outside of NEWTAB, they usually just carry pistols or 
revolvers. Theyre not often called upon as NEWTAB prefers to keep secret.
===Shield Medic=== 
A medical specialist branching off from the Shield, often working alongside 
Medics to guard them while they save fellow NEWTAB. Alongside the Medics, Shield 
Medics often carry submachine guns or shotguns, playing a purely defensive role. 
Shield Medics usually go infront of the other Medics and hold position in front 
of wounded NEWTAB personnel who can be saved, keeping their shield up at all 
times.
===Paladin=== 
The product of a Jannisary getting melee training; the Paladin, like the knights 
of old is trained for melee combat like the Blitzer. As such they are commonly 
seen wielding a NEWTAB zweihander while having a secondary smaller sword as a 
backup should the case arise. While slow, they're more heavily armored compared 
to their firearm wielding bretherin. On guard.
|-|Scientist & Other=
===Scientist=== 
The purpose of the annexation, Scientists are the top dogs within the heirarchy, 
as they are the ones meant to conceptualize, develop, and test the new tech for 
their benefactor NEXUS. Scientists use a range of weapons from shotguns to 
pistols to submachine guns to revolvers, some even have special equipment they've 
developed themselves such as Dr. Archis and his power pack + gauntlets. Scientists 
can virtually be found anywhere within their headquarters and even often being 
within NEXUS instalations as organizers for NEXUS scientists.
===Surgeon===
One of the 'types' of scientists within the faction, being more cold and out of 
tune with the suffering of their patients than their co-workers. Surgeons are 
five times as unlikely to be in combat so they are for the most part unarmed 
save for their medical utensils and some of them carry a pistol in the case that 
a patient needs to be sent to the other place. While not nessarily inclined to 
combat, that doesent mean that they'd shy away from it.
===Virosuit===
Another type of scientist, donning hazard suits for the protection from and usage 
of hazardous resources and dissonant energy. Like the Surgeon, the Virosuits are 
not as unlikely but still unlikely to see combat; as such more of them are armed 
with pistols or submachine guns than not. They work more with researching 
dissonance and its powers than with hazardous resources.
===Worker===
The standard blue-collared- or in this case red-collared -worker of NEWTAB, tasked 
with expanding Base Lambda outward and the construction of caches and blacksites. 
Workers are practally given no weapons other than their power tools and other 
tools, giving them some form of weaponry should the unlikely need arise. From 
within Base Lambda workers are virtually unseeable as they're most often far away 
from the usual labs and barracks, chipping away at growing their home.
