Mutation: Pyrokinesis 
Secret Society: Communists
Secret Skills: Demolition 04, Tractor Maintenance 08, Commie Propaganda 10

Background: FORCOM is a decent enough place to work. You spend your days receiving orders for troops in the field, typing the commanding officer's C-mail address on the top, and then forwarding the orders to CPU for encryption before they C-mail it. Dull, but at least your not getting shot by the Commies! And sometimes you can make equipment go missing, if you get my drift. 

But things aren't dull anymore! You made your manual typewriter 'go missing', so you've been handwriting the C-mail addresses. Occasionally, you'll write the wrong C-mail address. Normally that's not a problem, but a few days ago you wrote the wrong C-mail on orders for the 432nd Non-Volunteer Regiment before sending the orders to CPU. Now you here the 432nd has gone missing! 

If that wasn't bad enough, your teammate, Richard-R-SOO, is the guy at CPU who encrypted the 432nd's orders. He would have C-mailed it to the wrong officer, who would have replied back. Richard-R knows you screwed up, and he's not saying anything! What is he up to? Who cares, it's time to act like a solider--and terminate someone. 

Secret Society Background: Comrade! Many thanks to you! You stole typewriter, brought it to IR Market called Bizarre Bazaar near reactor in abandoned RTR Sector, and sold it to capitalist pig-dog lackeys! Credits from sale have already been spent on weapons for upcoming Inevitable Revolution! The People shall rule Alpha Complex!!!

You are now full member of Communist Party, and your party name is Debs. Is being good to honor name, da? Honor name by spreading joy of Upcoming Inevitable Revolution for the Workers of Alpha Complex! Bring propaganda to the masses! 

Also, we heard that member of your team is IntSec spy. Find spy and terminate IntSec agent!

Jenny-R: I guess I'm ordering dinner, then?

Background: Encryption is fun! Mashing numbers together until they become tangled webs of secrecy ... ah, sheer joy. You love working for Super Secret CPU! But when your ... secret boss ... demanded you steal all copies of an encryption key for sale at an IR Market, what could you do? You did it--and promptly got in some serious trouble. 

You were supposed to use Key AF-84931-X to encrypt orders for the 432nd Non-Volunteer Regiment and then C-mail it to the commanding officer. But you stole all copies of that key, so you used AF-3950-Y instead. There's no way they could decrypt those orders, and now you've heard that regiment has gone missing! The numbers don't lie; you're in deep pre-recycled waste!

There might be a way to hide this error. Your 'friends' read the mind of your teammate, Jenny-R-EEA. She talked to the 432nd and gave them directions to someplace, so she's the only one who knows about your mistake. (Well, assuming the 432nd stays lost, but you cannot take out an entire regiment.) So terminate her and your error stays hidden. 

Secret Society Background: We are Control. You are to be rewarded. You stole all copies of an Armed Forces encryption key as ordered, which we sold at the Bizarre Bazaar in abandoned RTR Sector for good profit. Your reward is two Power Pills. Take only when you need your mutant power to rage uncontrolled but powerfully. Go forth and terminate the unmutated. Pure humans are weak and must be destroyed.

One of your teammates is an Anti-Mutant. We cannot determine which. Find and terminate this person. You shall obey. We are Control.

Background: Room For Rooms can drive you crazy some days. You have tiny, enclosed spaces, but your job is to take nice, wide corridors and cut them up into small, cramped rooms. Still, it could be worse. You get to steal stuff all the time and blame it on terrorists. Except ....

Okay, so you have this routebot. Had, really. You were supposed to set the bot at the opening of Corridor RT:RO-993 to reroute all traffic. Stealing it and selling it on the IR Market was a great idea--until the 432nd Non-Volunteer Regiment showed up. They wanted directions to some abandoned sector. Why did they come to you? Very suspicious that they picked your corridor just after you stole the routebot. It's that Cynthia-R-FYR, your teammate. She's probably a terrorist, and she did this just to mess with you.

You sent the 432nd down Corridor RT:HR-909 instead because you needed to get rid of them. Who knows where that one leads? But now you heard a rumor that the 432nd is missing! The entire regiment is gone! It's time to terminate that terrorist Cynthia-R. She'll pay for this!

Secret Society Background: This is the Undersecretary for Society Investments calling. You have done well, Sister Jenny-R. The routebot you stole fetched a high price at the Bizarre Bazaar, the IR Market by the reactor in abandoned RTR Sector. For your reward, take these two spystickers. Use them to gain blackmail information on your teammates--and to see if they'd make good recruits for the Humanist movement.  

Also, we heard that one of your teammates is an FCCC-P priest. We should fight The Computer, not worship it! Terminate the priest!

Background: Autocars suck, but their engines don't. Engines are TCBs (things of complex beauty), and putting it inside an autocar just ruins it. Have you seen an AE (autocar engine) after several thousand kilometers? Ruined!!! And assigning autocars to Armed Forces is worse, because they always come back with the engines all COS (cracked or shot up). That's why you were more than happy to steal the ACPS (Alpha Complex Position System) from a bunch of troop transports and give them to your ... friends. 

There was a snag, of course. The 432nd Non-Volunteer Regiment came by and wanted transports, and you GA'd (gleefully assigned) the ones without the ACPS. Now you've heard that the regiment has gone missing. Completely GWAT (gone without a trace)! Your contacts reported the transports stopped at a PLC kiosk staffed by your teammate, Tony-R-BWS. PLC sells ACPS units at that kiosk, so that Tony-R must know about your little theft. 

Time to fix his engine, so to speak. TWEP him (terminate with extreme prejudice) to keep your theft a secret!  

Secret Society Background: Congratulations, fellow scientist! We sold those ACPS units at the Bizarre Bazaar in abandoned RTR Sector for a huge profit; now we can continue work on Project Finite Hole (more about that later!). We have given you a new name. Welcome to Pro Tech, Professor Thermodynamics! For your reward, take this mini-set of bot tools. If you see a nice powered-down bot, open it up and see if there's anything neat to steal. Just don't let your teammates see this!

Also, we heard that one of your teammates is PURGE freak. If so, we cannot allow those anti-technology freaks to go unpunished. Terminate the PURGEr!

Andre-R: But it's not.
Tony-R: Ah, but if this was a stairwell then we could just walk down, right?
Andre-R: But it's not.
Tony-R: Yes, I know that, but what if we had anti-gravity belts ....

Background: Working at a Konvenience Kiosk is boring. Now if only you worked for a MemoMax facility, or even a clone decanting warehouse .... Nothing ever happens there! Count inventory, sell stuff to customers, blah blah blah. The only fun you've had in monthcycles was stealing fresh laser barrels for your 'friends' and repainting empty barrels to look like they're full. 

The other day, an entire regiment--the 432nd Non-Volunteer Regiment--showed up and wanted some laser barrels. You had no choice but to sell them the fake barrels! Now your friends are saying the 432nd disappeared. Great. How long before they track you down and blame you for stuff? Maybe they'll all die in a big autocar accident, and when IntSec arrives to find the barrels all painted and fake, but then Commies would attack and terminate IntSec, and then ....

You heard the 432nd stopped by a Power Services store where your teammate, Andre-R-CMM, works. They probably wanted to recharge those empty barrels, and that means Andre-R knows about the fake barrels. Hey, this will be exciting! You could terminate him by shooting him in the back, but if he brakes an ankle and can't walk, then you could carry him and walk past a broken elevator and drop him in ....

Secret Society Background: Dude, nice score! Those barrels sold for mad cash down at the Bizarre Bazaar, that IR Market in abandoned RTR Sector. You should drop by sometime! Anyway, here's a few tabs of HappyLife disguised in a Sleepy-Sleepy bottle. Take one if you need to act all cool and charismatic and stuff.  

Also, we heard that one of your teammates is an IntSec narc. If so, take the narc down!

Background: You hate power. HATE!!! The only things that use power are bots and things suspiciously like bots. That's why when your bosses gave you a new, longer-lasting PDC battery to sell at your PDCEnergy store, you stole them and replaced them with empty batteries. Your 'friends' took the new batteries off your hands. 

And then the 432nd Non-Volunteer Regiment showed up to buy those new batteries. Probably some kind of bot plot! So you sold them the empty batteries--what else could you do? Those military goons love bots! But now your friends are saying the 432nd disappeared! No one can contact them. Wonder if that's because their PDCs have no power?

What's even more suspicious is your teammate, Stephanie-R-SLE. She sends out orders by C-mail, but you heard that she sent the 432nd's orders to a different regiment! Somehow, she knew you gave empty batteries to those soldiers! She's obviously in league with the enemy, so it's time she was terminated for her collusion.  

Secret Society Background: This is Irene-G speaking, so pay attention! You have done well, fellow human. We sold those batteries at an IR Market in abandoned RTR Sector and made a nice profit from it. Now we can afford those gauss rifles we've been talking about! As your reward, you'll notice a small package in your dorm. Enjoy this mini-hygiene grenade. Humans can get clean--bots are dirty no matter what!

Also, we've heard that one of your teammates is a bot-loving Corpore Metal bastard. If so, terminate that bastard!!!
