Zi Shun

## Basic Info

* Main series - minor character The Kurtherian Gambit
* Sub-series - none

## Summary of Events

His friends:

* \_\_ Zhu
* \_\_ Bai (died)
* \_\_ Jian

All are in the Chinese Army, paratroops and they got together to share the rumors that they have heard about the Sacred Clan and the Leopard Empress.

Jian is the one that knows the most about the Sacred Clan because the stories are relevant in his family but he doesn’t know how.  His mother wouldn’t tell him and his father got upset when ever the stories came up, nor has ever met any grandparents or cousins.

They have been told that they were going to be dropped in the mountains, near the Sacred Clan and they were to kill them, but from what Jian has shared, they don’t have the right arms to do much good against them.

The four of them are picked to help the scientist that are going along and they get their own non-issued silver coated bullets.

Once the attack starts and they hear the Cat growls, they ejected their military issue rounds and replaced them with their own.

They were successful with their silver coated bullets, so ended up by being assigned to remain in the Sacred Clans area to protect the Scientist that are looking for the Alien technology.

### The Kurtherian Gambit

#### My Ride Is A Bitch

They are part of a larger group that is escorting the scientist and tracking the people that had taken away the packages of the Kurtherian technology. They eventually come to an ambush where several “cats” attacked them, mostly North Chinse Leopards.  Bai is killed during the attack and his name becomes the rallying cry for the remaining three friends.

#### Don't Cross This Line

Zi Shun is promoted to Captain and both Zhu and Jian have been promoted and had their own squads, the three of them have been considered untouchable and the only ones to be able to kill any of the werecats.  When the werecats finally wised up and stopped ambushing them and went into hiding, the government recalled all of the troops.

During their time in the forests, Shun came to realize that their government wasn’t really acting in the interest of what is best for the people, instead only considering what was best for them.  Upon returning to the city, he heard rumors that the government was sending troops out to a factory that was still doing business with TQB with the intention of snatching all of the workers and holding them hostage against TQB Shun told his friends and Jian was the first to stand up and say that “it wasn’t right”, knowing that it would be their life, they left to stop the assault if possible.

When the three of them arrived, they discovered that there were no workers there, instead they met Stephen and his team waiting for the attackers.  They also found out that the business was not one of theirs, but the phony TQB set up to take advantage of their rep in the future.  Even though they are not associated, Bethany Anne hates to have innocents hurt for no reason at all so sent her people to teach the Chinese a lesson.

Peter and Stephen recognized by smell, what Jian is so he finally tells his two friends what he was able to piece together.  Stephen asks the three if they would like to join TQB, and they agree as long as Jian can take his parents too.  Shun has no family and Zhu’s family is in the backcountry and he never gave the Chinese government his real address, so he was just going to send them a letter.

#### Never Submit

The three friends are now on the QBBS Meredith Reynolds and they have to choose their future.  They can continue to be Military and join one of the QB groups or they can get civilian jobs.  They choose to go military and Jian is offered the opportunity to go full “cat” as he has the genes but has never changed and probably couldn’t.  Jian agrees and his friends are in favor of and supportive of his decision.  They realize that they could join the Guardians and be their own fire team. But first they have to pass a test with the other Guardians, Todd and Peter in particular.

In their audition for the Queen's Guard they go up against Craig, a wolf Wechsalbalg. They are so used to hunting the Sacred Clan they take him out with sleep darts without Jian having to turn. The takedown shows what a well-oiled machine the three of them are.

When they pass all three of them go into a medical pod, Shun and Zhu had the standard “Guardian Marine Nanite” pack injected and minor physical tweaks.  Jian had more extensive changes.

After going through the Gate to Yollin space, the Yollen Revolution starts and their ships attempt to sneak attack the Earth Fleet.  Three minutes before boarding their fist alien vessel, to relive tension, Shun starts singing and dancing “Gangnam Style” and the rest of the Marines join in.
