How come the spec-ops branch of Aleph only have 1 unit with stealth? And one merc? Does aleph program its robots and train their LHosts to be particularly shouty when shanking someone? Shouting "FOR ALEPH?" or whatnot? Balance issues aside: Fluff-wise, shouldn't at least Dart have Stealth?
Dart has Stealth, it's part of Camouflage Same goes for Nagas, Dasyu, Posthumans Mk2. Also, not all spec ops are stealthy, most are fast, confusing, and have a really good PR department to cover them up afterwards. Remember how the Infiltration of the space station in Red Veil included an Al Fasid in a porta potty?
Its an issue that Corvus Belli’s team haven’t clearly addressed so far, but my personal feeling is that ALEPH is not only sentient, but smarter than its human creators, and has a serious attitude about the whole thing. ALEPH be like “Mercenaries? Don’t talk to me about mercenaries, you ungrateful little meat sack! If you EVER think you want something you don’t already have, then A) No, you don’t. Because I’ve already thought it through and you already have exactly what you need. I’m ALEPH; that’s what I do. I think, and I make things for you. And furthermore B) If I do decide you need something, I’ll f—-ing make it for you, too. Obviously. See point (A). Now put that Merc Monthly magazine down; shut your flappy mouth, and go fix the new Shavaasti incursion.”
Suddenly I can't see Aleph as anything other than an amalgamation of Bender Bending Rodriguez and HK-47
