NTSAM Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 IC NAME: I dunno. Sneaky title needed, CERT sounds stupid. WHAT THEY DO: If a station gets many reports of Traitors, Vampires, Changelings or similar but finds no proof, these guys can be called in for a sneaky way to put a stop to them. They can be called just like an ERT. However, when called, the 'ERT CALLED' announcement will not appear! They appear in Arrivals one at a time, up to 6 of them, and join like an average crew member, but something is up with them. First, they all have the same initials (Adam Foster, Aaron Far, Alex Free), join 20 seconds away from eachother, and spawn with leather jackets. They have a NanoTrasen uplink, which works like a Syndicate uplink, where they can order NanoTrasen-approved items that can range from useless (I.E. ERT Hardsuit Replicas) to ultra-useful (Holy Water Squirt Guns, Pin-bullet launchers which pin the target to a wall like that Vox gun) to WTF. (Fake moustaches, glassless sunglasses) They also use Telecrystals, but of a NanoTrasen brand. They can order NanoTrasen IDs which give them a Civilian ID with higher access. I want this because if there is a psychotic changeling-traitor running through the halls, you want an ERT, because they already know they are gonna be stopped, but if there is a vampire on the loose and you are unsure whether they exist or not, you don't want them to go beast mode when they notice the fully-armed ERT. You want to catch them in the act. That is why if a CERT (or whatever it ends up being. Just CRT?) agent is targeted, and they are not total dumbfucks, they can pull out their NanoTrasen brand Holy Water Squirt Gun and blast the hell out of that vampire just before they do that Glare shit on them. This is my shitty idea, I hope you like it. I know it is not perfect, but nothing is really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTSAM Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Oh. Well, basically. What would making a Deathsquad-like version of this do to that? EDIT: NanoTrasen Funded Valid Hunting (NTFVH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veganzombeh Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Maybe as an admin-spawnable event, but it doesn't sound like a great idea to let these be called by command staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFinnT Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 funny idea. as already said, should be an adim event because they would be protagonists, but the crew already fill into this role. the CERT/VHS would play the game with the antagonists and station and crew would become a battelfield filled with dummys.

Plotron Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So you want to be able to stealthily call in a validhunting squad of counter-antags in order to catch people you haven't even properly identified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistik Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Just make them Tunnel Snakes and it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistik Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Bump, because Valid Hunter Elite Tunnel Snake squad should be a thing, especially now that we've got leather jackets for them: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5042 Also they should be obliged to tell antagonists who they are and that they rule before killing them under penalty of a permanent job ban.

necaladun Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 While it'd be a nice thing for an event or something, I don't see this happening as standard. MrFinn and Plotron I think sum up the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistik Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 No, not a standard thing, just a psuedodeathsquad of leather clad validhunters modeled after the Tunnel Snakes that are called in for really egregious little shits. Make the leather jackets difficult to remove with stupidly strong defensive properties and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
