NG-Honor Guard Heavy Ion Pistol (Re-trapped CM-80 Empress) (Patron Item)
Image
This reverse-engineered version of the CM-80 Empress was built in one of NG's many secret design bunkers. The originals were designed specifically for the honor guards of the Imperial family, and these magnificant weapons are slowly making their way into the rank and file, starting with special forces groups. The first guards to get this weapon were those guarding Emperor Prosek's wife, hence the original's nickname nickname. The weapon packs the power of an Ion Rifle into a pistol, at the expense of weight, range, and payload, but its ability to threaten most anyone makes it highly respected, especially in the close quarters of asset protection. The NG version is less sleek than the original Empress, in order to make it less of an obvious reverse-engineering job.
• Range: 8/16/32
• Damage: 1– 3d10, AP 0 (see also EMP Attack)
• Rate of Fire: 1
• Payload: 12 shots per E-clip
• Features:
• • Wide Spread (TLPG p. 100), and Heavy Pulse
• • Laser Targeting: The shooter gains an additional +1 to all shooting rolls with this weapon, in addition to the bonus for Wide Spread.
• • EMP Attack: The wielder uses his Shooting skill to target a technological device (−4 Called Shot penalty for any hand-held or small items targeted). On a successful hit, the device won’t work for one round; it fails to operate for two rounds on a raise. Shoot a vehicle's weapon and it will not work. Shoot a light and it goes out. Shoot a vehicle or robot combat vehicle and it cannot move or maneuver (though subsystems might still work, like a single weapon system; GM's discretion). This requires 3 shots from the weapon's E-Clip.
For technological characters such as Juicers, Combat Cyborgs, and Intelligent Constructs, as well as those in Power Armor, they instead suffer one Fatigue (two on a raise). They may roll Smarts to resist. This cannot incapacitate.
• Notes: NG prototype. Cost for Repair Purposes: 80,000 credits, but this can ONLY be done at a Northern Gun outlet, and then with a certain amount of discretion.
• NG Manufacture: CritFail can avoid Technical Difficulties with a Common Knowledge roll
• Calibrated for MOH: +1 Shooting

Background
Name: Millicent (no legal last name, see Background Info)
Callsign or Nicknames: Mille Visage
Rank: Private
ICMN ID Number: 9Q54-68FI-1PY7-28UM
Specialty: Negotiation, Field Command
Trained: NG Sales Force Training Program - June 6 101 PA - April 9 106 PA; ICMN School of Soldiery - Special Operations Center 6 March 108 PA - 19 January 109 PA
Experience: Reconnaissance Patrol Northern Ishpeming Mining District 1 February 110 PA to 30 April 110 PA

Evaluation: Former NG Contract Employee, remains firmly devoted to company. Tactics knowledge makes her an asset to any team.

Extra-Martial Accolades: Team placed second in the AME "Wild Draft" competition, February 109 PA

Best Suited for: Small-unit Field Commander, Hostage Negotiator, Intelligence Gathering, Undercover Assignments

Background Information:
Millicent's earliest memories are of her parents leaving her behind in a giant parking lot. The French-speaking Quebecois child, unable to explain to most adults in the area what had happened, was taken in by one of the many groups of City Rats who worked the Safe Zone around Northern Gun, eventually learning enough American to communicate (and, in time, quite fluently), and became a productive member of the gang. By 15, Millicent was the de facto leader of a gang of City Rats, offering protection services to visitors wanting to make sure their vehicles and campsites were unmolested while they were in the city. Her skill at both keeping the City Rats (many older than her by more than a few years) in line and negotiating prices with visitors brought her to the attention of Chadwick Dunner, one of the aides to Kenneth Gunther, President of Sales and Promotion. Dunner approached Millicent with an offer of Contract Employment, if she could complete the Sales Team training course; the orphan immediately agreed, and proceeded to pass all of Dunner's expectations.

Not only was she a quick study of sales techniques (which include far more study of military tactics than most people realize--her first course assignment consisted of a Chinese-American Dictionary and a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in the original Chinese) and an adept manipulator of her potential clients, but she was also skilled at inspiring her co-workers, often gaining authority exceeding her official title simply by giving good advice at crucial moments. Dunner was particularly impressed with her ability to gain this de facto leadership without ruffling the feathers of those who were her nominal supervisors. By 21, she'd been granted actual position as a sales team leader, and was considered by most to be on the fast-track to the upper offices of corporate HQ.

Things went awry, however, when a Naruni Repo Squad interrupted a meeting with her old City Rat crew, who'd managed to acquire a set of Naruni Force Fields from someone who hadn't paid the protection fee. The Naruni attack was vicious; nearly half the crew were killed, and Milly's face was badly damaged. However, on the upside, she'd held them off long enough for LPO to respond to the situation in the Safe Zone, and the Force Field generators were acquired. As a reward for her service, NG sponsored her for an advanced cybernetic installation, giving her the ability to not only regain her own face, but also change her appearance at will.

While grateful for the restoration, the encounter changed something inside Millicent. She turned in her resignation from the Sales Team (though she parted with the company on mutual good terms, and readily signed the usual NDAs and Non-Compete post-employment contracts in exchange for being allowed to keep her 'field demo' Gladius suit). As soon as she was free and clear, she enrolled at the ICMN School of Soldiery, under the name Mille Visage. While her personal combat skills are nominal, her ability to draw out the best in her companions caused her group outcomes to be exemplary, as was demonstrated most effectively in the AME Wild Draft competition, in which teams are formed on the spot with random draws. Her team's second-place performance has given her the attention of merc recruitment officers across Northern Gun.

19 = Choice = 7-8 Danger Sense
Ms. Grey looked up from the mission report Mille had handed her. "I must say, Ms. Visage, that this wasn't exactly what I expected when I hired you to negotiate terms between two of the car-park gangs."

Mille shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh, I know. Wasn't what I had in mind, either. I set up the meet in good faith, and one side followed all the terms of the meet. It's not my fault the other gang pulled an ambush, and I was just lucky enough to see it coming. I felt it fully appropriate to give a warning to the side that was acting in good faith, and of course, when the treacherous team decided to include me in the ambush, my own associates came to my assistance. Fortunately, no bystanders were injured, and even the property damage was kept to a minimum. And the territorial dispute is certainly settled, as the surviving members of the second gang have fled the parking zone entirely; I was able to persuade the remaining group to only claim that portion of the territory they could easily cover, and then negotiate terms with neighboring groups from a position of strength."

"How did you spot that ambush? I've reviewed the video footage of the combat, and the hit team was pretty much invisible."

Mille chuckled. "Oh, a thousand little things; it would be hard to say which one confirmed to me it was an ambush, though. Everything from tells in their expressions when we set up the meet in the first place to the lack of small animals in the area when I arrived with the other group. Even the way the shadows lay when we arrived was, in itself, suspicious--they'd set the location and time for the meet, and I realized the way some of the vechicles were laid out created pretty solid cover. And my MOH picked up some heat rising from behind some of the vehicles, as well."

The blonde woman pursed her lips in response. "I can't help but note that the first gang, the ones who played by your rules and came out of this smelling like roses, were also the current incarnation of the very same gang you were leading when you were recruited to NG so many years ago." It wasn't a question, but an implication. Mille wasn't offended--several departments in NG practically had 'meaningful innuendo' as a second language.

She replied with a sincere smile. "Well, isn't that why you hired me? Because of my connections with, and knowledge of, the local gangs? You can hardly complain about getting what you asked for."

Ms. Grey chuckled. "Touche," she acknowledged, and passed over the credstick.
