AEGIS PROFILE:

US Army Specialist (E-4) Martin Dash, retired.

Military Occupational Speciality: MOSC-1, 19D Cavalry Scout, D3, R4

Gender: Male
Age: 34
Date of birth: 11/12/1979
Handedness: Right
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 175lbs
Build: Athletic
Hair Colour: Dark Brown
Eye Colour: Blue
Skin Tone: Caucasian

Military records of the target advise he is a decorated and retired US Army Specialist, certified in HMMWV, M3 Bradley and M1127 (Stryker) operations. Deployed to Iraq in 2003 in the initial US military invasion dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom, he would go on to serve another 3 tours. On his third and final tour in 2007, the HMMWV he was operating struck a UVIED (Under-Vehicle IED) as he sought cover as they came under fire, severely wounding him and killing all other occupants of the vehicle. Extensive rehabilitation returned his ability to walk, but he has permanent and serious degenerated hearing from the blast, somewhat mitigated by hearing aids. On completion of physical rehabilitation and the diagnosis of PTSD, Martin retired from service and attempted to return to civilian life.

Here, civilian law enforcement records we have gathered become disjointed, with little information as to living addresses over the next few years, however there are several minor charges for car theft resulting in no jail time due to his exemplary service record. At this point we switched to FBI database information which strongly suggests he was a target of numerous investigations regarding art, cargo, bank and jewellery robberies as well as supply of stolen vehicles to organised crime rings. At no point during this time was Dash on an Aegis watch-list as his did not intersect in our sphere of influence until recent events.

Martin Dash has since confessed under reliable interrogation techniques to being a member of the team of criminals involved in the interception of an Aegis courier convoy and acquisition of a classified artifact Item #34242F. The "heist" team performed a swift intercept and extraction of the item with Dash providing transportation, managing to evade both the initial convoy forces and a secondary fast response unit dispatched to assist and breaching an Aegis cordon of the area. On attempted delivery of the item to the fence contact, 2 of the members of this team were shot and killed, with Dash and another man, Randall Simpson, managing to escape, evading unknown pursuers. Both remaining members went to ground, however Simpson has since turned up deceased. Utilising his criminal contacts, Dash stayed under the radar from both Aegis and his unknown pursuers for 3 months before Aegis surveillance teams picked him up and an armed extraction was affected.

Dash has been a ghost detainee of Aegis for a further 2 month period undergoing evaluation, indoctrination, interrogation and precautionary deprogramming.

Further investigation into the evidence surrounding the crime suggests clandestine NDD financial and logistical support, indicating a possible "false flag" operation using expendable resources with an NDD operative posing as their employer. Character vetting was performed during detention to ensure there are no NDD ties, and all information currently indicates that Dash was an unwitting pawn. As evidenced by his driving and evasion abilities in combination with his previous military experience, Martin Dash represents a valuable and skilled asset that Aegis has made offer to acquire and which has been accepted on condition of amnesty from past crimes he has been implicated in but thus far not been charged for. He has since received Aegis training and been approved for active field agent status.

John Dyne posted:

Crowtribe, you don't have enough Status, Resources, or Military Rank to have two influence; your influence level can only be half your combine level in those three qualities.

You have Status 1 and Resources 1, so you can only have one influence level; this can be either Criminal or Military, but not both.

Removed the offending line. Given I have Disloyal (severed ties) with the military, should I or should I not buy the Specialist rank still, which would use those 2 points I've now freed up? Otherwise I'll find a useful quality instead.

Updated.

The entire "Guns" skill held by the team is 100% handguns, bar Mrs. Dyne's additional submachine gun skill, so bearing that in mind:

Handgun (1 RP, 5 handguns, 5,000 rounds) - just about anyone can buy them with points.

In addition to Epicurius' list:
Bug detector (1RP, 3 units) - let's know if we're ever under outside surveillance.
Electronic lockpick (1RP, 2 units)
Lockpick gun (1 RP, 4 units)
Uniform (1RP, 24 sets) - no one ever takes notice of workmen.

Location and fitout:

Estate (5RP) Space 20 (Civilian, Criminal, Intel, Paranormal)
Automatically comes with 6 car spaces, a pool, a gym and 6 dorm bedrooms - not to mention privacy.
As to remaining fit outs, I'm not sure, but at least 3 workspaces (medical, engineering, electrical). (3 pts, 3 space)
Workstation (1 pt, 1 space)
Communication links ( 2pts, 1 space)

Vehicle:

Someone mentioned SWAT Vans are the best bang for your buck as they also provide you with "six submachine guns with flashlight mounts, 50 clips ammo, six helmets, six body armor, six gas masks, six headset microphones, 20 each stun and smoke grenades, vehicle comm link and scrambler, sledgehammer, and medical kit", saving you points spent elsewhere on those items.
A secondary civilian vehicle of some description would also be useful.

That's my input for now.

I concur with MaliciousOnion, with the extras of more surveillance gear, including counter-intel.

Also, drop a coupe and spend actual cash on the other to save 4 RP, steal the occasional set of number-plates because I have no qualms doing so.

Do Submachine Guns default to Handguns -2?

Agreed.

I also believe a Crown Victoria/roller registered to a federal department for regular transport - we can't always rock up in a Lab Van or stolen vehicle from a chop shop.
