34th Vipers Comms: Intelligence Breach

**Vaughn:** This is Follower to all snakes on the network! Our True Sons contacts have been compromised! Repeat, the entire network is compromised! I don't know how, I don't know when. All I know is Captain Janssen is rounding up and executing our people in the streets. Not just our operatives, but anyone who's ever helped them!

**Vaughn:** Blaze and Chariot are working to see the extent of the breach, but we suspect all of our NAE cells have been exposed. I've been tuned into the True Sons' comms, and they're still only identifying us as "terrorists", so it seems they only know our names and faces, and the organization is likely still secure.

**Vaughn:** Listen, don't respond to this broadcast! Burn or destroy everything you can, and get to friendly territory! The Commonwealth should provide you cover until we can properly extract you. Repeat, don't try and fight! Get the fuck out of there! And get the word out to anyone you can! But don't risk yourselves! You're more valuable alive than dead, and the last thing we need is the CIF suddenly deciding they want to take one of you alive for questioning.

**Vaughn:** I have to go. Blaze is speaking to the commanders. Major Walker's fucking "source" is behind this, that's for damn sure. We need to drill down and find this mole. Before we lose more good people. Oh, and Godspeed to all of you.
Black Tusk Comms: Evening The Playing Field

## Evening The Playing Field

### Description

Blackout and Wraith make plans to even the playing field against the True Sons and their allies in D.C.

### Speaker(s)

Anton "Blackout" l'Ecorcheur
Sueko "Wraith" Tanagi

**Blackout:** Any news from your scouts?

**Wraith:** The rumors are true. The True Sons are planning something big, something that'll remove the Black Tusk and Free Brother presence in D.C. completely, with the Outcasts and the Front. Not only that, the Front and the Outcasts have more firepower now than they did before Brooks took the helm.

**Blackout:** Damn it! How is my unit supposed to do our jobs when the odds are completely stacked against us? Seriously, between that EMP mortar blindsiding us during our first major offensive, the True Sons moving into D.C., the Front's new D.E.A.D. system, and reports of traitors with OUR trade secrets in the True Sons, we've been getting our asses handed to us on every fucking front!

**Wraith:** Perhaps. But the True Sons have overlooked one crucial fact; the Hyenas are still here, no matter how small we are. And the D.C. Metro Network tunnels are practically abandoned and forgotten by, well, everyone.

**Blackout:** Hmm... I think you're onto something. Maybe, just maybe, the Hyenas can help turn the tide in our favor. Even the playing field.

**Wraith:** Precisely. The only question remaining is how.

**Blackout:** A joint unit. Between the Black Tusk and the Hyenas. The True Sons and the Cleaners made one, and it worked out in their favor.

**Wraith:** I see. With the Black Tusk's resources and the Hyenas' network, we can make sure that we are better prepared than our enemies. Very well, I'll leave to you, Blackout.

**Blackout:** I think that honor should go to you, Wraith. You helped the Hyenas stay afloat, and you helped us stay ready against our enemies. And besides, the Hyenas know you better, so you should be the one to lead the unit.

**Wraith:** Thank you, Blackout. I'll make sure that the playing field is all evened out for a rematch against the Front. The Hyenas will not fall, not this time.

## Message

### Description

After his final run-in with Skyler Brooks, Calvin McManus delivers a message to Natalya Sokolova

### Speaker(s)

Natalya Sokolova Calvin McManus

**Sokolova:** Cal, I wasn't excepting a visit....*(surprised)* What the hell happened to you?

**McManus:** That fucking psychopath Skyler Brooks is what happened. Her and her deranged new Hunter pal..."Shen". Tracked me down to my bunker.

**Sokolova:** Cal, didn't you assure me the Hunters were loyal to you?

**McManus:** I...might have misjudged some of my operatives' loyalties. Trust me, the rest remain firmly under my command.

**Sokolova:** Hmm. And your hands?

**McManus:** A parting gift from Brooks. Apparently, she doesn't like to be disrespected. Goddamn lunatic.

**Sokolova:** So, why are you here?

**McManus:** To warn you. Brooks is coming for you next.

**Sokolova:** She said those exact words?

**McManus:** She said she was going to "pay you a visit". And this is the result of her last "visit". Put two and two together, Nat.

**Sokolova:** Cal, sometimes, specific word choice can give a hint to what someone *really* means. And as you said, you are prone to...misjudgments.

**McManus:** So, what are you going to do?

**Sokolova:** Mmm. Recent events have certainly stirred the hornet's nest. The True Sons are our greatest enemy at the moment, and I have people close to me who believe we should turn our friends into enemies, and those who believe it to be too risky to do so, that we'd be making more enemies in our place. With our connections to our...employers, severed, we find ourselves in an interesting position.

**McManus:** Maybe Sigmus would be willing to fill the void? Save you the headache.

**Sokolova:** Mmm. Damon Rommel is...reliable to a fault. I don't trust his support will be unconditional. And I feel his personal views do not align to our long-term goals, given his support of the U.S. government in-exile.

**McManus:** Well, you better come up with something quick. The end is fucking nigh.

**Sokolova:** Oh, I have contingencies, Cal. In the meantime, you had better take the time to assess who among your organization is truly loyal.

**McManus:** Yeah, you too. I heard you recently suffered a few more defectors.

**Sokolova:** Leave my office.

**Clyde Lancaster**, aka ***Asclepius***, is a member of the Jackals. He had an interest in Greco-Roman Mythology before enlisting for the army. After Charles Bliss recruited him into the Last Man Battalion, Lancaster rose to the rank of specialist in the years before their deployment to New York. With the deaths of Bliss and Cpt. Perez, he took his squad and went underground; literally, Lancaster and his squad holed themselves in the sewers and offered civilians a way to escape Manhattan through the mapped tunnels in return for payment.

When Cpt. Clevlan rallied LMB remnants to head west, Lancaster and his squad joined them. They encountered the Hyenas and the Rikers and became members of the Jackals. Lancaster took on the name Asclepius and became a bodyguard for Jackal and Kingpin, along with Rogue Agent Typhon. The two often accompany their leaders when they go for meetings with Skyler Brooks, the leader of the True Sons.

Asclepius is quite stingy about mythological accuracy, and hates it when people confuse the Caduceus for the Rod of Asclepius. If you want to get on his good side, then you better memorize the two.

### Description

Prowler gives an update to Bardon Schaeffer on a chance to operate undetected following an unexpected internal conflict in the True Sons

### Speaker(s)

Cody "Prowler" Sanford Bardon Schaeffer

**Prowler:** Commander Schaeffer, this is Prowler. Come in.

**Schaeffer:** I'm reading you, Prowler. What's going on?

**Prowler:** Sir, Medusa picked up a ton of True Sons radio traffic coming into Manhattan. We heard Brooks, and she sounds fucking pissed about something. Something about some officer going above her authority or something. Now we're seeing helos and jets overheard, and warships are blockading the harbor. Whatever's happening, it must be serious. More than just a case of defectors, I'd wager.

**Schaeffer:** This is certainly unexpected. We had no knowledge of a possible internal conflict.

**Prowler:** Sir, Umbra thinks this presents an opportunity to operate undetected with all the chaos going on, and I agree with her.

**Schaeffer:** What's your plan?

**Prowler:** We've got news of some kind of stockpile of thermobaric missiles nearby. True Sons rounded up the guards and left the weapons. That gives us a short window where we can destroy those missiles before they come back.

**Schaeffer:** That sounds good. Just be extremely careful. If you have to kill any True Sons, make sure they're dead, and see if you can link the explosions and deaths to an accident. I don't want too much heat on you right now. We're too early to show our hand just yet.

**Prowler:** Understood, sir. We've got all the intel we're going to get out of this city. I think we're ready to move on.

**Schaeffer:** Get it done. And for the love of God, don't die. Schaeffer out.

**Prowler:** Okay, Cinder Force! We've got our first field mission! Backblast, grab the remote thermite charges! Medusa, stay here and let me know if something changes! Anybody comes through that door without the pass phrase, put a bullet in their head and lungs! The rest of you, you're with me! We've got maybe fifteen minutes before they send a chopper to move those missiles! Grab your kit and move your asses!

**Griffin Dyson**, aka ***All In***, is a Rogue Agent in service to the Jackals. Dyson enlisted in the Navy SEALs at the age of 27, rising to the rank of lieutenant. After several successful operations with little to no casualties, Dyson was recruited by the Division and was activated as a part of the First Wave when the outbreak hit D.C. Right off the bat, he went around killing raiders and hostiles under the belief that in order to achieve true peace, evil must be cut out from the world. While his superiors were a bit concerned, they thought nothing more of it; a grave mistake on their part as, after the Stockade was attacked and Ridgeway was freed, Dyson reemerged as a Rogue Agent with the Hyenas under the name All In.

All In's skills allowed the Hyenas to reign free for some time, but all good things must come to an end, as the Division took care of the Hyena Council and scattered the remaining survivors. He followed Jackal and her loyalists, linking up with the Rikers and forming the Jackals gang, with All In working with Keeper to deal with any defectors that remained adamant about joining Miller's Warlords.

All In's brutality is spoken as legend, with one witness having seen him perform a horrifyingly archaic form of execution known as a Blood Eagle. During his off time, he can be seen playing cards with other Jackal members.

**Shimmer:** About that. I heard my brother recently passed his tests.

**Blackout:** Indeed. With his expertise, he'll be a wonderful operative for Darkest Horizon.

**Shimmer:** I'm sure he will. I'm wondering...and I know this is an odd request...if I could join your unit as well? To be with my brother.

**Blackout:** I don't know...no offense meant, Shimmer, but you're not exactly what I'm looking for. You're too...reserved, too caring. My unit is designed for total warfare, victory at all costs. That means cutthroats and killers. Your brother fits that role, you don't.

**Shimmer:** No offense taken. And I understand. But between you and me...I've always been there to protect my brother. To keep him out of trouble. When I'm not around, he gets....carried away. It's not his fault, he's always had those "urges". I just need to be there to anchor him. Keep him from hurting himself...and from getting himself killed.

**Blackout:** *(sigh)* I can see about finding a spot for you. But I do think you're worrying about Spencer too much.

**Shimmer:** He's my brother. Worrying about him is my job.

Semi-Automatic

The **Auto-Crossbow** is a semi-automatic version of a regular crossbow created and designed by Alex Horne. It features a pistol grip, a rail system to mount various optics, a circular magazine to make quick reloads, and a optional skeleton stock to stabilize the aim.

One of it's main features was the bolts it was loaded with have a flatter trajectory and higher velocity then regular crossbow bolts. This flatter trajectory, along with the attachment of an optical sight allows the player to snipe enemies at much longer ranges, and more easily. However, it's downside is that the Auto-Crossbow, cannot fire either incendiary or explosive used by regular crossbows.

Shortly after the formation of an alliance between the Strategic Homeland Division, Task Force Argo, Task Force Kingmaker, and the Venators, Alex Horne had modified the bolts to penetrate through bulletproof armor used by the True Sons including those used by Tanks, Bulldozers and Titans, and have donated several Auto-Crossbow to Division agents, during stealth and infiltration missions.

**Alyssa Eubanks** is the founder and one of the two leaders of the Goldtide Monarchs. She often trained for Marine service with her friend, Jack Davins, in her childhood, developing a crush on him in middle school. Unfortunately, Davins moved to Manhattan to live with his aunt and uncle after his parents were deployed to the Middle East, while Eubanks' father was deployed as well. She found out that she didn't have the stomach for military service, and instead became a history teacher in San Francisco. While Eubanks had a good life, it would all come crashing down when she was framed for murder. Wrongly sent to prison, Eubanks would develop a seething hatred for law enforcement and the government.

During the outbreak, she instigated a massive prison riot that broke every prisoner free. Uniting them through dreams of freedom and revenge, Eubanks became the founder and leader of a vicious gang: the Goldtide Monarchs. The kings and queens of the West Coast. Even with the absorption of multiple criminal gangs in San Francisco bolstering their numbers and supplies, they encountered mass resistance from the JTF and the Division, locking both sides in a vicious stalemate. After months of fighting, Eubanks convinced the JTF General, Alexander Grayson, to join her side with shared dreams of not only restoring order, but creating a country that will uphold their ideals to the end: a land of the truly free. With the support of Grayson and his loyalists, combined with the Divison's loss of their senior commander, the Monarchs all but crushed the JTF and Division, rapidly expanding until they nearly had complete control of California.

Eubanks would learn of The Jackals after one of the Monarch's commanders, Talon, vanished with his men. Upon investigating, she reunited with Jack Davins, now going as Kingpin, and the two gangs formed a secret alliance that only the Eubanks, Grayson, Kingpin, and Jackal know of.

Alyssa Eubanks holds a vehement hatred of the JTF, the Division, and anyone that clings to the old government, but is willing to recruit the services of any who defect from their allegiances into the Goldtide Monarchs. She still holds a crush on Kingpin, who doesn't know of Eubanks' feelings towards him other than being a close friend.

**The 84th Dropzone Legion** are an elite unit of the True Sons army, currently under the command of Colonel Isaac Raxton, though he leaves command in the field to Lieutenant Kris Varkos and Captain Aaron Kurosaki. Major Armanda Page, callsign Chimaera, is the unit radio coordinator.

Inspired by World War 1 German "shocktrooper" or "stormtrooper" tactics, the 84th rely on massive bombardments of enemy positions with surprise overwhelming firepower before descending in U-04 Imposter Dropships to neutralize the enemy defenders before they have a chance to coordinate a defense.

Each member of the 84th's 6,000 strong force is hand-picked by Raxton for three qualities: fearlessness, aggressiveness, and ruthlessness. Recruits under specialized indoctrination where they are taught that is honorable to die in battle and to kill the enemy. In combat, they will use dangerous and risky tactics desiring to kill as many of the enemy as possible and become martyrs. Even despite this reckless behavior, they are still highly lethal and hold some of the highest kill counts amongst the True Sons during the True Sons-GSA War.

Despite being part of the Army, the 84th field an advanced air wing of the new A-99 Slicer strike fighters, along with modified Deimos Security Corporation CD-9 Wardens, Fuse-Model Cruise Missiles, IMC-6 Intruder APCs and the deadly new RAM-6 burst-fire energy rifle.
Aurelia Arnot

**Aurelia Arnot** was the former director of international counter-terrorist agency Team Rainbow, and secret operative for the shadowy cabal known as Megiddo. Following the betrayal by the True Sons, and as the First Sons began to systematically exterminate all of Megiddo's members and assets to prevent them from disrupting Brooks' plan for the New America, and to protect the secrecy of The Catalyst, Arnot became a target for the main officer behind the assassinations, Lieutenant Eline Mercer.

Following the Dollar Flu outbreak, Arnot went into hiding with other Megiddo operatives in Europe, taking refuge at a safehouse in Holland. While walking to her car one morning, she was killed by a hidden IED placed by First Sons operatives. Arnot was the 11th operative to be killed by the First Sons, and the final one before Operation Revelations.

### Speaker(s)

Skyler Brooks

**Brooks:** My True Sons. We live in an age of change. We know the greatest one is yet to come. And I see us preparing well for that moment. But tonight, I'd like us to pause.

**Brooks:** Every morning before we begin our march, we rise and salute our flag to ground ourselves. To remind us of what we're fighting for. But right now, I'd like to ground your minds.

**Brooks:** Some of you have been with me since the beginning. You remember D.C. The way that city just kept getting worse no matter hard we fought? You remember the deserters. The doubters. How other communities and families turned us away. How we wept to the stars, hungry and cold?

**Brooks:** How we were challenged with us with a Judas…and how that ended…

**Brooks:** The feeling you have now, you had then. Many of you came to me at Lincoln Memorial and confessed to me that you felt hopeless. Lost. That without Ridgeway you felt you'd lost your purpose. But now don't they seem far away, those doubts? Haven't those problems been made petty?

**Brooks:** I promise you that the same will come to pass. No matter what suffering we endure on this journey, it is not worth comparing to the glorious future that awaits us. New soldiers, I speak to you. Just look to your brothers and sisters around you. They'll say as I do, that Ridgeway would want us to succeed. But success doesn't come without hardship. Suffering. For what visionaries and revolutionaries don't experience challenges? Washington and his men endured the brutal winter at Valley Forge. They didn't have shoes, they barely had food. And they survived. We can too.

**Brooks:** That we are here now, is a sign we are on the right path. Yes, we are being tested again. But I have faith that we will continue to succeed. And you should too. Peace be to you all.

8th Fleet Symbol, meant to represent them as guardian angels

**The** **8th Capitol Defense Fleet** is a fleet within the True Sons Navy, commanded by Rear Admiral Kel Sato. Tasked with defending the east coast (with aid from other fleets in times of need), they contain many ships previously in service to the U.S. Navy, with a handful of newer vessels such as Sato's flagship, the U.S.S. Valiant.

Under Sato's command, the 8th Fleet hold themselves to a high morale standard to both civilians and enemy combatants. Sato, a believer in following the laws of war as much as is possible, believes his sailors should be accommodating to prisoners of war and civilians alike. The fleet does not see much combat, and is mainly tasked with fending off coastal raids or naval recon missions from the enemy.

### Nationality

American

**Allan Trumbull** is the current Speaker of the House of Representatives under President Patricia Caldwell. His journey into politics began in his early years, shaped by a family deeply committed to public service. Growing up in the small town and capital of Vermont of Montpelier, Trumbull witnessed firsthand the impact of community leaders and developed a strong sense of duty. His academic prowess and natural charisma propelled him into law school, where he honed his skills in negotiation and diplomacy. Trumbull's early career as a lawyer marked the beginning of his political aspirations. His dedication to justice and fairness resonated with voters, leading to a successful run for the House of Representatives, serving as a member of the House's Foreign Affairs and later the Intelligence Committee. Over the years, Trumbull's reputation as a principled and effective legislator grew, eventually elevating him to the position of Speaker of the House.

After the election of Andrew Ellis, as the Speaker of the House, Trumbull returned to serve as a member of the Foreign Affairs committee before becoming its chairman. Shortly before the Dollar Flu outbreak, Trumbull was on vacation in Germany with his family before they were sent to the bunker near Ramstein Air Base. Following the destruction of the Raven Rock Bunker, Trumbull was succeeded under his previous role as Speaker of the House.

Being comprised of a composed and authoritative demeanor, with a strong sense of self-control over his years of experience as politician. Trumbull has a sense of duty and responsibility towards the American people, and not to just to preserve the current United States government that is in exile, but to also preserve its integrity. As his willingness to step into a leadership role during a crisis involving the New American Empire, proves that belief in moral integrity and responsibility, with inclination to prioritize rationality over emotional expression. In addition, Trumbull is a skilled public orator, comparable to that of a philosopher, as his style of making public speeches and addresses, was perfect in making reasonable arguments against Brooks and the New American Empire. Though sometimes, he was able to turn Brooks's own speeches and propaganda against her, it is unknown whether or not this was intentional.

Prowler raises his doubts about the arrival of a new member of Cinder Force, but Schaeffer assuages his concerns.

### Speaker(s)

Cody "Prowler" Sandford Bardon Schaeffer

**Prowler:** I don't like the idea of someone new coming on to *my* team.

**Schaeffer:** I understand. But Ms. Ayers insisted, Umbra will be a good addition to your unit.

**Prowler:** We're already set up in New York. This operation is already underway. I don't have time to walk through some newbie on everything we've already done.

**Schaeffer:** You won't have to. Umbra has extensively covered your reports. She understands that you're in charge, she understands how your unit operates, and she's all caught up to date. She'll be ready to go when she arrives.

**Prowler:** All our roles are already covered by the others.

**Schaeffer:** Umbra brings something new to the table. She's experienced, very experienced. She's not some new recruit you'll have to train. She's deeply knowledgeable in unconventional warfare against a superior foe. That's what your unit was designed for.

**Prowler:** Ah, but....Cinder Force is supposed to be a small unit. We don't need anybody else. It'll mess up the whole team dynamic.

**Schaeffer:** It's just one person, Prowler. I think you'll adapt.

**Prowler:** You said she's Ayers' kid? How do I know she isn't just getting special treatment from mommy? I don't need someone without any skill weighing us down.

**Schaeffer:** She was in the Ghosts. I can personally vouch that she did not get where she is from nepotism. She is a highly-skilled operative and field intelligence officer. Would've been BTSU, but she had a rivalry with Wyvern back in the day. Doesn't lessen her skill, of course.

**Prowler:** Great. Medusa is more than enough. You're gonna lump another one on me?

**Schaeffer:** I trust you to handle it, Prowler. Look, you want to be BTSU? You have the skills. Prove to me you can get this mission done, and you'll take your rightful place in the Specialist Unit.

**Prowler:** *(sigh)* Fine. On one condition.

**Schaeffer:** Name it.

**Prowler:** I've seen some of her reports. If Umbra wants in, she needs to know Cinder Force fights dirty. She's gonna have to do some things she might not like. If her personal morality gets in the way of the mission, if she undermines, disobeys, or questions my orders, if she gets all self-righteous on me, she's only going to be a liability. She wants to be the "good guy", she can go join the Division. I don't have any use for someone like that. If she doesn't like how we do things, she shouldn't be in the Black Tusk, and she damn sure doesn't belong in my unit.

**Schaeffer:** I'll make sure she knows.

**Prowler:** I trust you, boss. But I really hope I don't live to regret this.

**Schaeffer:** You won't. Trust me.

It became clear to Cindy that she could never live up to what they wanted, and she snuck out of the house, changed her name, and joined the Coast Guard.

While she was pushed to succeed there as well, it was far more realistic, and she found brothers and sisters who would help her when she fell. One such comrade was Kumara Fuentes, who later serve as her second-in-command.

Now an Admiral in the True Sons, commanding Battle Group Trident, Frisk commands the vessel the *U.S.S. Formidable Threat.* Calm, collected, and confident in battle, she has earned the nickname "*Amphitrite*", after the wife of Poseidon.

At some point, Frisk was shown The Catalyst by Skyler Brooks, and became convinced the True Sons would defeat their foes and succeed in their goals. Her unit took part in the Battle of Glace Bay, during which she taunted Admiral Fraser, commander of Sigmus' fleet, that she had seen the Catalyst, and while Sigmus would win a battle, the True Sons would win the war.

## Early Life

Cindy Frisk (born Cindy Roberts) was raised in a tightly controlled households. She never knew her birth parents, but later learned her mother was an addict who abandoned Cindy on the side of the road, and her father was serving life in prison. Adopted by couple Beth Jones and Sandy Roberts, Frisk was put under pressure to excel when from before she could even walk. Her mothers were both accomplished academics, one of a professor in both mathematics and one a professor in philosophy.

Their desire to have their new daughter be the subject of bragging rights went into abusive territory. They would force-feed six-month old Cindy till she cried and make her sit on the toilet until she learned to use it, several months ahead of when she normally would. They tried to get her to walk at four months and berated her when she fell.

It was clear to everyone around the couple that they had unrealistic expectations for their daughter. However, friends and family were nervous to speak up for a number of reasons. For one, their position within the city was strong, owing to their credentials. And given the state of the foster system, Cindy might end up somewhere even worse. But the biggest fear was being called a bigot, and being labeled as intolerant by the local community. So no one said anything.

## Damien "Banker" Wilcox

### Weapons Used

AK-47

**Damien Wilcox**, aka ***Banker***, is a former account and head of accounting and banking for the Jackals. Originally from Manhattan, Wilcox moved to St. Louis after he suspected something fishy about the government's claim that Dollar Flu was nothing more than an early flu season. He turned out to be right, and Wilcox narrowly escaped both the virus and the ensuring chaos.

Although he was approached by the True Sons, Wilcox decided to throw his lot in with The Jackals, as he feared the True Sons were biting off more than they could chew by picking a fight with the Division. Wilcox's experience allowed him to earn a position balancing the books for The Jackals' black markets. His duties are both to keep accurate logs of Jackal profits in order to prevent fraud or Merchants not baying their dues to the faction, and to ensure that convoys of money go where they're needed and when they're needed.

Normally a loner, Wilcox prefers his own company and to be left with his work. This is both for personal preference, and also to prevent certain anti-financial members within the faction, such as Crackshot, from learning too much about him.

## Early Life

Damien Wilcox was born in Manhattan, New York, to a upper-class family of accountants, bankers, and stock traders. While his family wasn't rich in the sense that they didn't live in a top-floor penthouse with golden toilets, they did well enough for themselves to ensure that young Damien had whatever he needed when he needed, and had a sturdy college fund ready to go.

His family didn't force Damien to follow in their footsteps into Wall Street, but they certainly pushed. With a long series of private tutors and little in the way of friends or hobbies, Damien managed to pass his classes with impressive grades.

With a Bachelors in Economics and a Masters in Accounting by the time he was 24, Damien was "offered" a generous position at his family's accounting firm. While Damien didn't appreciate the nepotism, the language used made it clear it wasn't something he could say no to.
Black Tusk Comms: Rivalry

## Rivalry

### Description

The leaders of Black Tusk units Cinder Force and Darkest Horizon debate which taskforce is better

### Speaker(s)

Cody 'Prowler' Sanford Anton 'Blackout' l'Ecorcheur

**Prowler:** Oh, please. What the hell kind of name is Darkest Horizon? Sounds like it came from an edgy fifteen year old's diary. You know, when you write twenty pages of a poem about how traumatizing your life is when your mom buys the wrong kind of poptart.

**Blackout:** *(snorts in contempt)* You sound like you speak from experience. Tell me, how is it you were born in Detroit, but sound and act like you grew up in a trailer park in Arkansas to a family tree that's more circular than the goddamn moon?

**Prowler:** Ah, fuck you. I can't help my accent. Besides, you're one to talk, Mr. Frenchman. Tell me, how does it feel that the only thing people remember about your country is how you put your tail between your legs and threw up the white flag to the Nazis because your leaders were stupid enough to think that the enemy couldn't go through the undefended forest to your flank? Seriously, you realize tanks can knock down trees, right?

**Blackout:** Well, whatever you think about Darkest Horizon, at least it sounds cool. Who was the dumb shit who chose Cinder Force?

**Prowler:** We burn the True Sons to cinders. Cinder Force. At the very least, it makes sense.

**Blackout:** Does it though? Names aside, my team is easily the superior one.

**Prowler:** *(snidely chuckles)* Oh, really? How so?

**Blackout:** We're more diversified. Able to hand different kinds of operations.

**Prowler:** You went over the roster on your team? Sounds like a bag of nutcases.

**Blackout:** You're in no position to call anyone's team a nutcase. Let's take a tally. Medusa's a psychopath. Sparks thinks he's some sort of Russian war hero, despite being born in Montana. Backblast's probably blown up more friendly vehicles on accident than he has the enemy's. Titan's is so stupid, calling him dumber than a fucking brick is perfectly accurate. Hush is a lunatic who sews his own patient's mouths shut because he can't handle them screaming. And every time Techie opens her mouth, it's to spout some puesdo-philsophy bullshit. And you, you're a glory hound with the greatest arsenal of slurs I've ever seen in my life.

**Prowler:** Because your team is the pinnacle of mental stability. Oracle thinks he's the reincarnation of Patrick Mullany. Anarchy is an actual lunatic. And don't get me started on Harley.

*(short silence)*

**Blackout:** This is stupid. Why don't we both agree that we and our teams have their strengths and weaknesses?

**Prowler:** Yeah....yeah that's about right. *(laughing)* Hey man, I'm just having fun with you.

**Blackout:** Me too. I heard you're shipping out tomorrow.

**Prowler:** Yup. New York. Gonna go see what's going on with the Cleaners and True Sons.

**Blackout:** Well, good luck with that.

**Prowler:** You too. I heard you got an op coming up soon too. Hey. You wanna go get some beers?

**Blackout:** That sounds good. But you're paying this time.

## Baron Sharon Hawryluk

### Occupation

Professor of Mathematics/Engineering, Oxford University (formerly) True Sons Ace Pilot

### Education

PhD. in Engineering, Oxford University PhD. in Mathematics, Oxford University

### Class

True Sons Pilot

**Baron Sharon Hawryluk** is an ace pilot in the True Sons, serving with Sickle Squadron aboard the *U.S.S. Argent Reign*. An engineering and mathematics prodigy, Hawryluk graduated college at eleven and had earned two PhDs from Oxford by the age of 21. While she primarily worked as a teacher at Oxford, Hawryluk was drawn to aviation, seeing flying a plane as another challenging problem to solve. Studying dogfights throughout history, she became convinced that victory or defeat was a matter of probabilities, and being able to analyze your enemy's smallest movements

When the outbreak first reached London, Hawryluk was more than prepared, as her logical mind has successfully predicted that the supposed "flu season" more closely seemed to resemble a modified version of smallpox, and she made sure that she was long gone by the time the first cases hit the city. She was later recruited into the True Sons Air Force by Colonel Ally Milani, finally giving Hawryluk a chance to test his abilities behind the cockpit. 76 kills and numerous battles won later, she was given the rank of Flight Baron, and had earned the infamous nickname of *"Tarrasa"* , the Novumism word for "Thunder".

Hawryluk is arguably one of the most dangerous True Sons aces for the simple fact that she is not blinded by zealotry or a desire to die a martyr. She carefully studies everything before being deployed into battle. The possible weather conditions, the angle of the sun, the terrain, the military records of the pilots she might face. Every small detail she studies gives her that extra chance of victory in battle.

## Freedom

Truly a testament to the True Sons ingenuity and ability to turn almost anything into a weapon to serve their cause, **"Freedom"** is the callsign of a modified armored Mack 18-wheeler tractor trailer. While concepts on its design date back to the time of Ridgeway, it was only during the early months of Skyler Brooks ascension as General that plans for the beast on wheels came into fruition.

Designed to be used to break roadblocks and barricades, "Freedom" is deployed primarily against foes that have no known counter to it, such as the Civilian Militia, insurgent settlements, or raiders. Built to strike fear with its blaring horn and ominous plumes of smoke, even the most determined militia will often cower at the sight of "Freedom's" approach. Knowing it's value, they will not waste it against a foe that may have anti-armor weaponry like the 34th Vipers, Remnants, or Geneva Strategic Alliance.

In addition to heavy armor, including its spike proof tires and bulletproof windshields, it houses up to 45 troops ready to deploy upon first crashing through a rebellious settlement's gates, as well front and rear mounted M2 Browning machine gun turrets loaded with anti-armor rounds.

## Barricade

### Occupation

US Marine Corps Machine Gunner (formerly)
Personal Security Guard (formerly)
Jackal Enforcer

### Specialized Training

U.S. Marine Corps Basic Training Infantry Training Battalion, Machine Gunner MOS

### Weapons Used

M249 SAW
Heavy Armor

**Hugh Sullivan** aka ***"Barricade"*** is the Security Warlord of Defense for The Jackals. An ex-Marine Corps machine gunner, nothing made Sullivan happier than unleashing hot lead on the enemy. Pirates. Taliban. Iraqi Army. Didn't matter the enemy to him, didn't matter what the "official" reason for the conflict was. He knew why he was there, he knew his purpose. And that was to unload 850 rounds per minute from his trust M249 SAW on any idiot in his way. Some in his unit raised concerns that Sullivan enjoyed his job a bit...too much. Of course, nobody in the chain of command is going to complain about a soldier that's too good at his job.

For many soldiers, an honorable discharge after multiple tours in the sandbox would've been a welcome respite. But for Sullivan, it was the worse thing that could've happened. Now without his purpose and separated from his trusted MG, he found himself having "combat withdrawals", as he put it. If the Army wasn't going to take him, he was going to get his fix for battle one way or another. But police work seemed too boring, so Sullivan decided to try things on the other side of the law.

Using his old uniform, he infiltrated a military facility, reclaiming his beloved M249. Armored up, he then began a spree of bank robberies, running with any crew that needed a combat veteran with heavy armor and a box magazine LMG. Needless to say, he didn't have a lot of trouble finding work.

When the Dollar Flu outbreak rolled around, Sullivan was running with a crew in St. Louis. After The Jackals moved into the neighborhood, he and Kingpin, who came from a family of Marines, struck up a conversation about Sullivan's time in the Corps over beers. A LOT of beers. At the end of the night, Sullivan became "Barricade", Security Warlord of Defense.

Barricade's role involves securing The Jackal's borders, fortifying their most important bases, and securing their trade routes. Ask Kingpin or any of the Jackals that serve with him, they'll tell you Barricade is a highly trusted member of their "family" known for his loyalty and courage. Ask Barricade, he'll just say he's happy to be back where he belongs. He sees The Jackals as his brothers and sisters, a brotherhood just like his beloved Marine Corps.

If anyone wants to hurt his brothers and sisters, they'll need to get past Barricade. And he'll make damn certain as long as he's standing, nobody is getting past him. Ever.
Argus Comms: Watching the Trail

**Jensen:** You have a location on Victor's location?

**Parda:** Yeah. We've got live images on Ross and Casey making the exchange right now, with Ross making a message to Rommel demanding him that he start peace-talks with Brooks listing several terms claiming to be "balance". Are we sending in our own?

**Jensen:** No. We can't just send a rescue team to extract Victor. Ross would expecting that plus, we're going head to head with the First Sons on their home ground. They're going to have extensive security measures to ensure we don't get Victor out of the states. The Remnants are nearby, they have the capabilities to extract Victor out of there.

**Parda:** Any particular candidates?

**Jensen:** Fisher, obviously. Anyone with experience in hostage recovery, stealth, and high-risk infiltration. We'll inform them of the situation, once we've located where Victor is being held.
