NextStep

Cyborg or die

Structure

Militaristic in theme, but with a strong sub-culture of might-makes-right. Organisation levels are poor and discipline is dismal.

Public Agenda

It is no secret that NextStep is a cyborg terrorist group intent on eliminating all people unwilling to become cyborgs.

Externally, they portray themselves as a PMC with the odd requirement that all applicants have at least a small amount of cybernetic enhancement.

Assets

NextStep boasts a varied roster of cybernetically-enhanced troops, and is also registered as a certified Bounty Hunting guild. Many would-be Hunters unable to sign on with other guilds (and more than a few outlaws on the run) eventually join NextStep, providing the organisation with thousands of poorly trained but nonetheless deadly troops.

History

1. Have assassinated various people that have refused their demands. Some are civilians who refused to take unnecessary cybernetic augmentation.
2. 25/4/317AG: Received a briefcase from Garen Troshar.
3. 20/5/317AG: A seperatist squad of NextStep forces led in-person by Garen Troshar assault Stygian Tower in order to gain leverage over ███ █████. They discover a squad of criminals have already slaughtered the loading bay's security, and so a fight begins. Beetlejuice takes down one of the bodyguards and wounds the other, allowing Valhatru to approach and throw Garen over the side of the building while he is distracted (screaming abuse at Slippery G'zar). More details can be found in the report below:

4. 24/5/317AG: Hired by Captain Del Agrae to eliminate Tyrfing and Zanderbey and the incriminating datapad they carry. NextStep sent a squad of apprentice Hunters to carry out this mission, but their inexperienced squad is demolished, excepting the Hunter in charge of the operation.
