S-366

Art by Octofox Saymen

When receiving messages from S-36, either on paper or audio, Associates are to call for reinforcements. If these options are not available, avoid being alone and especially in small spaces. Subject-36 is currently on the most wanted list.

- Dr Bourbon

### **Description**

S-36 seems to be a female version of ███, based upon its prosthesis, above normal reflexes and strength. Overall appearance is that of a young woman wearing clothes according to the latest trends in fashion within the local culture.
Most notable features are here collapsible birdlike prosthetic legs and multiple tattoos of number-symbols that have been crossed out, covering her face, neck and shoulders. We suspect these numbers might represent Associates who have gone missing on previous expeditions. This matter is currently being investigated.

### **Encounters**

Subject-36 always contacts her targets in advance before attacking. Either she leaves written messages, making her intentions clear, or contacts them directly through FM-radio-devices. These messages start off with a musical tune, followed by a string of numbers spoken out by a young woman. Down below an example of these radio messages.

These Numbers correspond with the assigned numbers to the Associates. How S-36 acquired this information, or our Associates' frequency is unknown. An initial attack by S-36 usually follows within 24-hours.

Based on encounters on Planes 007, 067, 155 and 269 it is assumed S-36 is able to move through Rifts, making her exceptionally dangerous. Also, for unknown reasons, S-36 seems to have it out for members of the Association.

S-36 prefers to ambush her targets and engage them in melee combat, for which she seems especially designed. Associates noted she is very sadistic, enjoys immobilizing her targets before killing them. However, speed comes at the expanse of protection so most handguns can harm or damage her. See Log S-36 for an eyewitness account
