## Tactical Analysis

* **Close the beaches**: The Syndicate’s aquatic scout, the Man O’ War stings swimming infantry and animals with its venomous tendrils.

* **Fish in the water**: If its prey refuses to come close or is too tough to approach, the Man O’ War can launch a long range gyrojet torpedo. Keep in mind that while fast the torpedoes have no guidance systems and it takes a while to reload.

* **Just a stupid jellyfish**: The Man O’ War is just a brain in a jar, not a warship. Trying to sting a battleship to death is futile endeavor and likely to get the Man O’ War killed.

* **Psychedelic light show**: Experienced brains have learned how to flash their lights so as to mesmerize and distract their foes, though this only works on animals, low level drones, and unmounted soldiers.

## Background

**Host**: *"And welcome back to Argus News in the evening. Tonight, we have an incredibly interesting guest. Moira Guerra is one of the many volunteers for the Syndicate's* **"Man O' War"** *Cyborg model, and one of the most celebrated at her highly classified job. She has agreed to an exclusive interview with us, Moira, are you there?"*

**Moira**: *"Hear you loud and clear!"*

**Host**: *"For those viewers who are not familiar with the Man O' War, why don't you give an overview?"*

**Moira**: *"Basically, it's exactly as it sounds. You sign a paper, go under the knife, and wake up as a freaking jellyfish!"*

**Host**: *"I see, so what prompted this decision on your part?"*

**Moira**: *"I was injured in an accident and became a paraplegic. So there I was, waiting in hospital, paying through the nose for treatment, when a bunch of suits come in and offer to not only pay for treatment, but give me cybernetics for FREE, and a high paying, high prestige job. You'd have to be crazy to turn an offer like that down, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made!"*

**Host**: *"So you would recommend this procedure?"*

**Moira**: *"You're kidding, right? Before, I was some nobody in a factory in Satellite City . Now, I get higher pay than I could have ever dreamed of, and for a great job; go to new places, meet new people, kill new enemies. You ever been in a gang war? Imagine it's like that, but they don't notice you, and you get paid for each kill. Me and my, uh,* "co-workers" *have contests to see who can have the most unusual kill."*

**Host**: *"But what about your jellyfish form, is that a plus as well?"*

**Moira**: *"You know when you're a kid, and you're scared of the monsters in the water? I'M one of those monsters! Seriously, living underwater is awesome; you get food for free by snatching fish, I'm functionally immortal with my implants, and I can put on one hell of a light show!"*

**Host**: *"Lights?"*

**Moira**: *"Yeah, lights. You ever seen a documentary where those sea creatures shine some pretty colour, and the Allied (CENSORED!) on it is all* "Oh, wow, it can turn blue, a bloo bloo bloo!" *Yawn. I can do that in my sleep! Seriously, the lighting costs extra, but I can outshine any fish in the ocean. You should see the reactions you can get. You know that contest I mentioned? Luigi won for a couple of weeks by sneaking up to some idiot diver, suddenly flashing every colour as quickly as he could, and chasing the diver into his boat's propeller. Ha!"*

**Host**: *"So, where do you live with such a radically different form?"*

**Moira**: *"Me, personally? The Venice Sprawl. Seriously, I never thought I'd even SEE Venice, let alone live there! When I'm not on missions I get to patrol there. I don't even need to sleep, I paid for implants that let parts of my brain sleep at different times, so I can stay awake and do whatever I want ALL THE TIME!"*

**Host**: *"You mentioned cost, how much would this procedure cost?"*

**Moira**: *"If you're paraplegic, it's free. For other people it depends, but you can find out at pretty much any cybernetics branch. I would recommend you shell out for extras though. The lights and sleep thing I mentioned, but you can also get an AURA uplink directly to your brain or an injection site if you're a drug user."*

**Host**: *"So you would recommend this process to anyone interested?"*

**Moira**: *"Absolutely!"*

**Host**: *"And to finish, what did your family and friends think of this decision?"*

**Moira**: *"My what now?"*

**Host**: *"So there you have it, Moira Guerra; soldier, cyborg, jellyfish. Stay tuned for our expose on the latest gang violence in Rome."*
