NewTab

Nexus Experimental Weapons Testing And Biological (NEWTAB) is a faction created by ShootDaCheese. They would have made their debut in the cancelled Jailbreak 2 and the yet-to-be-released Madness NEWTAB: Requisition. They would also be featuring in a minor role in Maxification 2.

## Backstory

NEWTAB was originally NEWT (Nevadan Exceptional Weapons Technologies), a company within Nexus City's Industrial Sector which had made a profit in the conceptualization and manufacturing of firearms. In need of more weaponry, the NEXUS had annexed the company and moved it out into Somewhere, giving them isolation from prying eyes other than the NEXUS themselves. The newly named NEWTAB (Nexus Experimental Weapons Testing And Biological) was retrofitted to also conceptualize weapons formed from or attached to the citizens of Nevada, of which its remote location allowed such unethical scientific practices. Along with their main base of operations, Base Lambda, NEWTAB had also created several blacksites guarded by a slew of their own militarized units out in the desert housing who knows what within and several caches of supplies in the case of a catastrophic event unfolds for the shadowy faction.

## Units

### Experimental

#### Subject

People from all around Nevada, taken from many different factions including the NEXUS. Kept in cells deep underground and taken out to be the guinea pigs in one of NEWTABs horrid experiments. They're used as the base for several of the biological experiments produced by the scientists and surgeons of the faction and as range targets for weapons testing.

#### Recycled Patients

In the early days of NEWTAB, they were sent the insane patients created by the NEXUS's project byproducts to be used in testing. Since then they've become a lesser and lesser used group due to no longer recieving shipments of them from the NEXUS. This had forced NEWTAB to find an alternative, of which they found in kidnapping the denizens of Nevada. Criminally insane.

#### NEWTAB Brawler

Heads secured with a device wrapping around their head and feeding them a constant drip of the NEWTAB's own combat stimulant, these Subjects had gone completely insane, mentally transforming into psychopathic, sadistic, suicidal beserkers. Their creation was made to make a discordant, chaotic distraction notmeant to survive, but as they see it their only purpose in life now is to cause pain to whatever is near in the worst ways possible, having no sense of self preservation and even willing to run in the line of gunfire to reach their prey. Nine times out of ten they go after non-NEWTAB people thanks to a a deterent 'programmed' into them, though if there isnt anything harmable in the vicinity, that doesent mean that they wont turn on their captors.

#### Scrambler Headgear

A versatile helmet used for many mind manipulation purposes including brain washing, memory removal or changing, and or lombotomization. In terms of the ones worn by Test Subjects, the helmet has been implanted with an AI that had lombotomized the wearer and taken control of their body and is programmed to attack whoever may be the target often taunting them with text faces on their screen and having no self preservation or even motivation to keep their controlled body intact.

#### Soundcatcher

A more docile experiment when kept in a nice, quiet room; of course, those are few and far between. The Soundcatcher is normally non-active but as the name suggests it catches sounds. Whenever it hears anything it will immediately rush to the source and tear it apart. This makes them particularly effective early in raids as unaware enemies'll be too confused and too loud to discern their purpose just yet. On the flipside they're highly ineffective in larger gunfights as there would be too much noise to make them effective.

#### NEWTAB Teleporter

As of yet one of two successful dissonance reliant experiment developed by the minds of NEWTAB. Tech at NEWTAB using dissonance energy harvested from the Other Place has given birth to an experimental prototype robot that stores dissonant energy within itself and uses it to teleport moderate distances within reality. How it does so is by using the Other Place itself as a sort of slingshot to go from there and end up somewhere else in Nevada, being within the Other Place itself for a few microseconds. Teleporting however uses a lot of its stored energy causing it to need to recharge after three teleports, in most cases making it to shutdown immediately as it quickly recharges.

#### NEWTAB Strider

The as of yet one of the only two successful dissonant reliant experiment developed by the minds of NEWTAB. Experimenting with the energy and its effects on the Nevadan body has allowed the creation of this new abomination of reality. Obtaining dissonant energy and storing it in a core contained on their chest allows them to use a chunk of it to quickly speed forward a short distance not unlike a water strider, leaving a purple shadow and trail in its wake. Practically driven insane but engineered to be more friendly to NEWTAB makes these things a hazard to whatever they be set on.
