A.A.M.O

## Overview

**A.A.M.O.** is an abbreviation for **Agency Against Malevolent Originals** or alternatively **Agency Against Madness OCs**, and are a mysterious organization seeking to purge Nevada of what are referred to as "Malevolent Originals", which is a term used to label vigilantes and undesirables that threaten their end goals.

Regarding this faction's birth in the timeline, it appears they came into being sometime after the events of Madness 10. It has been mentioned by the creator, Jsoull, in a Youtube livestream that the AAHW had disbanded after they had become leaderless and without purpose when the main cast had died and the Auditor trapped in his hellscape, leaving the Nexus Core to rise and take over Nevada, taking whatever the AAHW has left behind - which Jsoull explains why NC has the familiar Engineer masks and Soldat eyepieces but no ATPs in their ranks.

They are the creators of Abaddon, whom they produced to serve as their ultimate weapon and implanted with a Halo artifact they recovered from the Auditor's hellscape.

The A.A.M.O. acts as a successor faction to AAHW, focusing on the elimination of "Originals" that may have the potential to reach Hank's level of infamy and threat-level to their mysterious ends. They appear to be very technologically advanced, and their more impressive developments have been featured in Artifact, Maxifcation 2: Commencement, and in the most recent teaser Maxification 2 - UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. It has also been shown that they have chosen to operate alongside N51 during the assault on Nexus City, along with some ulterior objectives as portrayed in Artifact. As of now, their exact end-goals are unknown beyond removing the Nexus Core from power and destroying any Malevolent Originals they come into contact with.

## Appearances

### Paradigmadness 2

The AAMO is one of many factions seeking to claim the Package for themselves, and as such make multiple appearances in the film. An AAMO Airship acts as a set-piece during the mid-point of the collab, and the subsequent battle on the ground between themselves and the Eye Monsters. (To Do)

## Unit Types

### Agents

AAMO's agents look similar to their AAHW predecessors, sporting a black suit with a red tie, as well as a communication backpack that is held on with some additional belts. Their most distinguishing feature is the red visor, which presumably assists the agents in targeting and assessing their surroundings. There is an ATP agent variant which has a yellow visor and a black and yellow suit. These agents are slightly better than their normal counterparts when it comes to dodging attacks and appear to carry more advanced weaponry.

### AAMO Hybrid

Hybrids are newer cloned generations of ATP units who've been very heavily modified with both genetic enhancements and cybernetic modifications, in addition to being given equipment technologically heads and shoulders above their predecessors. They were created by the AAMO sometime after the events of Artifact but prior to Maxification 2. Their exact abilities and combat roles are not currently known, but are likely to be showcased in their debut appearance. During a livestream preview of Maxification 2, A Hybrid is witnessed hunting a group of OCs - breaking down armored bulkhead doors during the chase. As their name implies, they seem to have some capabilities of both the Engineers and the Soldats that preceded them, and their armor makes them highly resistant to damage.

### CommAAMO

Briefly witnessed during UNAUTHORIZED TRANSMISSION, these units don thick ballistic masks reminiscent of skulls and full-body armor plating. They wear a visible radio communication device on their backs in addition to several ammo pouches attached to their belt. Their exact combat abilities are currently unknown.
