First two troopers of my prospective Anarcho-furry Bakunin project (no nuns!) They're the moderators Hope and Mercy, sent to Shinju to deal with xeno-artifact smuggling and general excessive lawlessness in the Nomad enclaves there.
Visser, Beauvoir module resident, believes in a future of humanity where males are not needed for any purpose. In addition to supporting Black Lab experiments in human parthenogenesis, she is also working on constructing reliable, safe companion androids for menial work. Her latest prototype, CHP-13, is showing som promise, and accompanies her everywhere, learning as it goes. Being something of technical prodigy with poor interpersonal skills, her best source of social energy is, crafting a suit of armour, to join the Riot Grrls and sign up for dangerous and uncomfortable tours with the Moderator corps. The Shinju station posting certainly qualifies on both counts.
LLENN is a cheerful, friendly girl who is interested only in the rush of gunplay. The Riot Grrls are a natural fit, allowing her acces to armour, weapons and an endless supply of dangerous situations. All her income goes into funding new and interesting guns, and Lhosts for revival when she pushes too far. She maintains the highest revival count among active Moderator corps members.
Riri was born in Corregidors Lazareto, and suffered abuse and exploitation from her teenage years onwards, after her parents died. She joined the Alguaciles and later the Mobile Brigada in order to gain the strength to stand up to the hostile gangs, but found that her commanders in the CJC were just as abusive, only more skilled. During a joint deployment, she had a long talk with an allied operative from Bakunin, and at the next Krug, she jumped ship and sought refuge in the Beauvoir module. Her practical skillset made her a natural Riot Grrl, but she only joins active missions when her social energy wanes, as she prefers the quiet module life, reading and tending a small garden.
Vortex Spec-Ops Zakalwe has a long history in the darkest corners of the Human Sphere. He enlisted young in the PanO fusilier corps, quickly joining the Indigo Command. He only participated in one mission, and resigned immediately at its conclusion. He spent several years jumping from one mercenary outfit to another, before finally winding up in the Nomad Black Hand. He currently works as a specialist operative, in either the Zero or Prowler regiments, depending on mission profile. He has been dispatched to Shinju to start the investigative branch of the small Moderator detachment there. With the chaos and lawlessness unfolding on Shinju, there is certainly a lot of work to do.
Following the resident moderators calls for actual investigative personnel to support the mission enforcers, BJC has assigned a Zero operative and a reconnaisance Meteor-class drone. Zero Six Four is a very private individual who has never shared his real name, and never removes his mask during work hours. He has a complicated set of cut-outs to transfer social credit earned as 0-64 to his real identity, and is none too pleased about being sent to Shinju, where it will be exponentially harder to keep his identities unentangled. He works primarily as a quantronics analysis expert, but is qualified for direct anti-quantronics countermeasures as well. The Meteor Zond serial number 83 is a regular companion, delivering real time surveillance and remote quantronics access during operations.
Mercy put down the terminal with a long exasperated sigh. "Hope, we have trouble incoming". "How so? Wasn't that the response to our request for some field expedition escorts? Did they turn you down?" "No, it's worse. We're getting a couple of Morlocks. Apparently, these two were deemed an elopement risk, whatever that means, and they're sending them here where they can't easily run away" "<expletive>! They take more minding than drunk miners and adventurers. Do they hate us that much?" "It gets worse." "Worse? How?" "High Command was really apologetic, realizing that we don't have the manpower to babysit the Morlocks, and sent a minder to keep them in line. So, we're getting a Taskmaster too." "Well, that's not so bad then? We can use some heavy firepower than doesn't go Oo-Rah as soon as the bullets start flying." Llenn, when not kept busy, had a bad tendency to get into fights, which somehow often escalated to firefights. "Yeah, but this guy is from the Patriarchy." "You serious? Aristotle Module?" "Yup." "<expletive>... I better start writing a rotation schedule for the canteen".
Pyotr Ivanov was born to midlevel executive parents on Tunguska module, but rebelled early and ran off to the free life of Bakunin. Having no particular skills, he quickly got into debt, and when his parents eventually stopped supporting him, he tried and failed to rob a PanO tourist. Being given the choice of doing zero-G maintenance for a few years, or joining the Morlocks for siz months, he chose the latter. Reina Hernandez is an orphan with a bad habit of falling for very bad boys. Her previous paramour got killed in a scrap with a rival gang, and she herself got arrested on disorderly charges. With near negative social credit and no remaining friends, her only option was a stint as a Morlock. Here, she met Pyotr Ivanov, fell head over heels for him, and they have been plotting to run away together ever since. Richard Mann is a family head from Aristotle Module. With a wife and three children (ages 2 to 8) he is about as normal as can be, in his module. The Mann family maintains a small hydroponic pod, growing feedstock for the real biological cows that are the economic backbone of the module. Real dairy products, leather and beef meat from actual animals are rare and exceedingly expensive on the motherships, and fetches a very high price when sold to hyper-rich tourists. In addition to these luxury products, the Aristotle module gain general Social Credit by through small-scale weapons and armour manufacturing, and single citizens frequently join BJC in peacekeeping missions. Richard is unfortunate in that an accident destroyed part of his farm. To secure funds for its reconstruction, he has been forced to re-join the BJCs special weapons team, a job he hoped he had left behind with his youth. With seniority comes some perks - instead of having to suppress the technohorrors of the week in the black labs, he got sent to Shinju on what is essentially a babysitting mission, keeping a couple of Morlocks on task and incidentally providing heavy firepower support to Bakunin explorers in the wilderness.
