________
The Urbanworld of Avail is a shining beacon. The New York of the civilized New Frontier. It provides goods and products all over the star cluster, despite its somewhat small size, only as big as Sol's Mercury. City stretches around the entire planet, separated only by the long canals that stretch block to block. Nearly the whole planet is a city, made habitable by trade from other planets and advanced climate control.

Or at least... it used to.

The war seemed long off, with the frontline being so far. But it affected Avail anyway. It's biggest suppliers of food had been annexed. Food shortages quickly arose. People rioted. They went after government stores when they could not provide enough for everyone. They turned on each other when they couldn't reach the stores. Who knew that a city the size of a planet would be so hard to control?
______
Avail is split into many partially self-governing Zones split into smaller subzones.
Cross, formally known as Subzone 134 had made precautions, seeing the consequences of the coming war. As part of the Global Destabilization Labilization Contingency (GDLC, or "GooDLuCk") a network of highly trained sleeper agents was created to serve as a military for the Subzone in the event of the expected crisis.

Your character is one such agent, recently arrived at the Base of Operations.

Oh I didn't notice you too. Accepted with modified Extra. I like that you named your rifle.

"Joyous" and "Faresight":
After receiving the activation call, you both made your way to Cross amid the chaos. It's imposing walls ward off potential attackers. You pass through the checkpoint after a relatively uneventful trek.

"Hey, you're some of the first ones here. You get to have the best gear." -Distribution Worker "Slashes"
___
"Yep, down the hall through that door. Valer will see you there." -Base Technician Nathaniel Roberts
___
The two of you walk into the briefing room. Coordinator Valer is there. She's got the task of well, coordinating and managing all GDLC military endeavours.
"Good to see you, Agents. As you might have seen, things are a mess out there. The subzone's fine for now, thank god the board saw this coming, but if we don't act fast, we're gonna run out of food and supplies. The sector west of us has a hydroponics. Your first mission is to secure it. Any questions?"

"Joyous" ((Do not read transparent text not under your character's name.))
["Slashes" pulls "Joyous" aside. "Hey," he says, "according to your psyche eval, you'd make good use of these."

There's a stock of stun rounds, designed to nonlethally incapacitate people.

He adds, "I'm counting on ya," and shoos her out before she can reply]

Nerfed your Extra. The other two were already over the top. Accepted.

EDIT: Unnerfed it slightly

"Joyous", "Faresight", and Leif:
Leif walks into the briefing room.
"Oh good," says Valer, "another agent. You can join them."

"Sorry, I'm a little late. What's the mission?"

"Faresight", "Joyous", and Leif
"You're not late. Agents will have trouble reaching this rendezvous, so I'm expecting to repeat things. We need to secure a hydroponics to supplement our food production or these walls won't prevent us from becoming like what's outside."

"No questions."

"Understood. I think I'm ready, if you two are as well," Leif says to Joyous and Faresight.

"Joyous", "Faresight", and Leif

You all travel outside of Sector A1.

Faresight hears his guidance system in his earpiece, "Alert, you are entering an area designated Anarchy Level 1."

You walk in the direction of the Hydroponics building for perhaps half an hour when you hear a distant staccato of gunfire to your left.

Bang! Bang!

Single shots.

"Gunfire detected. 330 meters South." says Faresight's system.

Leif lays low, looking around to see if there's anyone else nearby that might fire at them.

Leif
You don't see any potential combatants on this street. The gunfire is probably coming from around the corner.

A civilian turns in the opposite direction.

Yes you only get to have 1 extra. Agility modifiers don't exist. Confetti doesn't have proposed stats, its mag size is unnecessary, but if you'd like to have the information I don't mind. Sensor doesn't have proposed stats either.

Ditch sensor and vigorous training.

What stats do you propose for Confetti? I will adjust them as I see fit.

"Everything alright?!" Joyous asks the civilian.
