Anarchy Online: Operation Bash-a-Borg - Neutral Token Board Finale

Date: Saturday 18th
Time: 18:00 GMT
Location: ICC HQ
Objective: Pre-emptive strike at the cyborg camps in Tir, Milky Way and Perpetual Wastes.

Hello, my name is Dabblez, I am the director of RUR. This is a plea for help, a plea I make in the interest of the survival of all organic life on this planet.

We have come into possession of evidence indicating that the cyborgs are planning to develop their own token boards system based on technology they stole from RUR and from Uncle Bazzit's Foundry. If we do not act swiftly we may soon find ourselves on the losing side in the battle between the flesh and metal. Make no mistake, the cyborg enemy will not stop until all human life is eradicated.

We do not know where the cyborgs have taken the stolen RUR and Uncle Bazzit token board prototypes. As such our only hope of stopping this threat is to stage a simultaneous, three prong attack at the major, known cyborg bases.

Not having much experience in military matters myself, I've sought assistance from three of the most reputable leader form faction to take charge a coordinate the strikes; namely: Yarko of the Independent Rubicans, Swiftmind of Omni-Mining and Cogs of Cerberus.

According to the provisional plans:

Cogs will be in charge of Battle Group Taurus. His objective will be the base in PW.

Swiftmind will be in charge of Battle Group Gemini. Her objective will be the base in the Milky Way.

Yarko will lead Battle Group Virgo. His objective will be the base in Greater Tir County.

Once each area is secured, a team of experts from RUR and Uncle Bazzit's Foundry will ensure that any trace of the ToKen Board Technology fallen into cyborg hands is destroyed.

Strategic consideration may require adjustments of this plan as we get closer to the date.

What we need are volunteers to form these battle groups. We are looking for brave men, women and atrox of any faction willing to risk everything to protect the future of humankind on Rubi-Ka. Volunteers need to show up promptly at 18:00 GMT at the ICC HQ where the will be allocated to one of the battle groups according to their experience and overall numbers, and not by faction.

I hope to see many of you there.

Regards,

Dabblez

P.S. If you are a cyborg spy, you probably should not be reading this.

P.P.S. For those with an interest in history, here follows a short summary of the events that lead to this final confrontation.

June - Rubi-Ka Universal Robots (RUR) to announce that a consortium of Neutral organisations lead by Elite Operations has hired their services to help research and develop the first, genuine Neutral token board system. Due to the scale of the project RUR seek to engage the help of scientists and engineers form all factions.

July - While RUR first neutral token board proto-type turn out to be unstable, Emmet Bazzit of the Uncle Bazzit Foundry annouces his rival bid to create a neutral token board, and item he calls the Profiteer's Helper.

August - RUR's research facility dedicated to the Neutral token board project is destroyed by a small nuclear device resulting in sixteen perma-deaths. The few clues found on site seem to point to cyborg involvement.

September - Bazzit Jr, a younger member of the Bazzit family, reveals that the research facility for the Profiteer Helper was also attacked and destroyed by cyborgs. Careful examination of the evidence reveals the startling truth: the cyborgs plan to create their own token board system based on the stolen research from both RUR and Uncle Bazzits Foundry.
