OTPC Freelance: Clans building Cyborg army?
February 26th, 29488
Clan terrorists may be conspiring to use illicit Cyborg technology in their efforts to overthrow the Corporation.
The OTPC can reveal that earlier this month the prominent terrorist Kotras 'Kotts' Clay sent a direct message to the office of CEO Eva Pourais to demand a 'radiogenic isotope focuser' from the Medical Department, a prototype scanner for identifying specific gene sequences, and locating then on a planetary scale; down to an accuracy of 0.125 metres.
Only a few days later, with the egregious demand naturally not being met, the focuser and several other prototypes were stolen in a raid on the Omni-Med facility in The Longest Road.
When news broke of the raid, which places many thousands of lives in danger, Mr. Clay poured scorn by remarking "To think. All someone has to do is check her messages, and it would save her life."
Readers will recall that a Cyborg outpost in Perpetual Wastelands was raided by a band of forty members of the Sentinel Clan in late November last year. The raid was conducted with calculated efficiency: the corpses were harvested for all cybernetic material, with all organic material left behind.
Among the recently stolen items from Omni-Med is a regenerator for cybernetic technology that could potentially be used to grow Cyborgs from existing parts.
In the midst of this, the Knights of Avalon appear to have mended their rift with the Sentinels seen last summer, and are attempting to distract public attention from the events on the ground with 'visions' and 'prophecies' from the Shadowlands, possibly in collusion with the Redeemed.
It seems possible that the Clans orchestrated the recent raid in The Longest Road and now plan to use the products of their theft to construct a Cyborg army from the parts that they have gathered.
