I'm brainstorming for a campaign. The technology of Eclipse Phase gives some pretty [s]exciting[/s] [color=green]terrifying[/color] options for organizations putting special forces teams together. I've been building teams based on the resource investments required. The first type is the fork squad. Take your basic criminal murder ninja. Copy them 4-8 times give them identical morphs and gear and let them loose. After short missions they'd be remerged. Longer missions would require cold-hearted decisions. But use of tactical networks or hyper-mesh inserts could help keep members uniform. The disadvantage is that any blind-spots the individual has would be amplified by the group. The advantage would be that to set one up all you'd need is a single competent ego. The second type is Seal Team 1-100 A special forces squad is trained organized and prepared for combat. Then it is put on ice and forked for deployment throughout an institution. The teams would be treated much like a fork squad. Except instead of 4-8 copies there would be an integrated and balanced team in place. The teams would either be given civilian lives between jobs, stored, or restored from backup. Each option has its problems. The Kinesetics of each team member could be identified and used to track down deployments in their civilian covers. The stored teams would gradually accrue mental stress as they contextually go on a never ending streak of missions. The restored teams will never learn. Also any team that hasn't opted into their situation may rebel when exposed to the truth. But there is psychosurgery for that. I think that these teams would be very useful for situational work. Murder squad for a criminal organisation. Or military special forces. However I don't think they would be as effective at dynamic situations. Like security work, investigation or factory shift work. The all aware data analysis machine that every major spy/criminal/military/government/hobby organisation uses to analyse well everything would lead to teams like these being exposed exponentially faster. After all when you have enough footage of an individual going about their business it becomes effortless to track their every appearance in real time. Clandestine groups, like Firewall, are protected by the individualism of their members. Of course when it is time to send in a team of killers with backup nukes strapped to their backpacks for habitat cleaning. Forks work well. Thoughts? Kindalas
