Compact Beta- Operation: Grim Ember

[Faolind]

This operation is not fully fleshed out, and is completely bare bones, but is a prequel/preview build for Operation Snowfall.

Please read and test.

Note: due to the bare bones nature of the write-up, some intuition will be required to understand the rules.

Note#2: While this write up is fully ITS-based, I plan to have the final write up take advantage of all the many different formats we have available to us, making a dynamic set of missions.

No fluff is provided in the current write up, but can be to some extent intuited. There is a serum, Grim Ember, that creates bio-weapons out of those affected. Pan-O is funding the research, and Yu-Jing wants to steal it. They send deniable mercenary assets that succeed in gathering up samples of the serum in a two-pronged strike. However, during their escape out-system, they are boarded by Aleph and Pan-O strike teams working in coordination to bring justice to 'the thieving criminals'. Aleph quickly gets suspicious about WHAT was stolen, and starts a further investigation. Meanwhile one of the alien powers has caught wind of all this via communications intercept, and plans a raid to acquire and refine the serum themselves, as well as keeping it out of human hands. They strike the craft of whoever now has the serum (agents of either Yu Jing or Aleph). If Yu Jing Imperials retain the Serum, it is legally Confiscated by Aleph, since they were slowed down by the fight. Now, one of the major Powers (Yu Jing or Pan-O), strikes at the holder of the serum (Aliens or Aleph), escalating the conflict into the news. Finally, with things spiraling out of control, the two groups with the strongest presence left clash over the vials one final time, agreeing that this must stop here, before the public catches wind. During the fight, the vials are released, and the campaign ends ominously.

SNO-Wight, the subject of Snowfall, is featured here as an agent of Pan-O, on her testing run. She doesn't yet have all the traits she will, and her BTS capability in particular is an area that scientists decide needs work. (she should have bioimmunity, but she doesn't yet due to bio-organic components that weren't yet replaced with nano-organics)

Have fun! Expect revisions and more fluffiness soon, followed by the Snowfall Campaign draft!

I haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet, but should be able to over the next few days. Holidays are a bear.

I'll try and test it during the holidays. I have been a little too busy lately.
