Reboot 2023
Henry Grimes watched as Lucky, the Kill Cat, just assigned to the Team, took off to hunt for food. Newly promoted Frida Bishop, the teams commander, was hunched over a screen and utterly lost in whatever her new cyber-eyes were reading.
Grimes stepped out of the APC’s cargo door and took a few steps away from the vehicle. Which is all it took to be “lost in the thick Jungle.” If not for advanced STS sensors and the like, the dense Jungle would be unnavigable. And the damned map Henry had purchased was no help! Figures. When a dozen kids race up and offer you a map for real cheap because you’re white as all get out and obviously are not a native. It’s a trap. Henry grumbled about the useless map and stepped deeper into the jungle.
Ed, or Eddie, the light combat robot was in the driver seat of the vehicle reading said useless maps and attempting to prepare for travel.
Over the next few hours, hopefully, a few more new team members would arrive and then they could set off to locate the Intel. Joseph Prosek had entrusted him with getting the Intel and getting it back to Chi Town. Thus far, unfortunately, Henry had had to kill several loyal CS soldiers that had it in mind to take the Intel to their bosses. Be it Bradford in Lonestar, or Lyboc in Chi Town, in addition to dealing with Federation Mages, Legion do-gooders, and of all things Elder Gods.
Now, alone, Henry made sure he was unobserved and quickly started setting up the long range relay radio to send a message.
As he quickly assembled the device he had a brief moment of fear, a cold needle stabbed into the back of his neck. He heard a voice that sounded exactly like his say, ”I got it from here.“
His mind raced as he both pulled his vibro knife from its sheath and he thought: The hell you do!
Stepping back out from the dense jungle Sergeant Major Henry Grimes made his way to the cargo door of the APC. Stepping inside he nodded at Frida, unseen as she was still hunched over a monitor mumbling, and he made his way into the drivers area of the APC.
Ed looked at him then stated, ”Sergeant Major Grimes, I have a route planned.”
Grimes nodded at the combat robot and dropped down into the drivers chair.
”Great … Ed. As soon as our reinforcements arrive we will head out.”
”Copy that Sergeant Major.”
Taking a deep breath and holding it, then slowly releasing it, the Sergeant Major smiled inwardly and set about reading over the new recruit files on the laptop before him.

A computer with universal jack—grants +2 to Common Knowledge, Electronics, Hacking, Research, and Repair rolls. Radio (20-mile range), gyro-compass, clock-calendar. CEP is required for all other mods in this category.
Grants +2 to related Boating, Driving, Piloting, and Electronics checks.
Cyber-Disguise, Basic (1): This simple disguise package can change facial features, but not the voice or the color of skin, hair, and eyes. With a Common Knowledge roll and five minutes, opponents looking for the character are −2 on Notice rolls to see through the disguise...unless they speak with them. With a raise opponents Notice at −4 and the character may gain the effects of the Attractive Edge or Ugly (Minor) Hindrance. Requires the Core Electronics Package (Strain 1 100,000 credits).
Cyber-Disguise, Improved (1): This disguise system and modulating voice synthesizer built into the face and neck can completely change facial features, speech, and the color of eyes, hair, and skin. With a Common Knowledge roll and five minutes, the user may gain the effects of the Attractive Edge or Ugly (Minor) Hindrance—and opponents are −4 on Notice rolls to see through the disguise. With a raise opponents Notice at −6 and the user may gain the effects of Very Attractive or Ugly (Major). Duplicating a specific person is possible (requires visual and audio footage of the target)—those with reason to question the user’s identity make a Notice roll at −2 to see through the disguise (or −4 with a raise on the Common Knowledge roll). Requires the Basic Cyber-Disguise.
A retractable needle is concealed in the wrist. The cyborg may deploy it as a free action and use it to inject drugs/liquids into a grappled opponent with a Touch Attack against a vulnerable location (possibly requiring a Called Shot). Contains 20 doses total, see Poison in Savage Worlds for possible effects.

Holo-Display Communicator: Capable of sending and receiving a small, doll-sized holographic image, this rare and expensive system is also useful for creating 3D images of maps, diagrams, blueprints, and whatever else the user might wish to input for display. The communication system itself has a 300- mile range (2 lb, 10,000 credits).
Note, character has Natural Leader Edge so his Edges do work on Wild Cards. Spirit d8 and has Command Presence so can assist 8 party members.
Cost 150k
COMMAND RADIUS AND RADIOS
When not using a map, heroes with Leadership Edges can affect their Spirit divided by 2 in Extras. Command Presence doubles this number. Similarly, a GM may allow those with Leadership Edges to operate at extended ranges when able to communicate with allies remotely. Such commanders may affect their Spirit divided by 2 in allies when in constant communication via radio or similar effects like the mind link power. Command Presence doubles this number. Range is limited to line of sight, as the leader still needs to see their soldiers in order to direct and coordinate them.

KLS-RG-15X Manpack Electromagnetic Rail Gun (Patron Item)
The brain child of the KLS corporation, this rail gun design is a miniaturized version of the RG-14 Electromagnetic Mass Driver. It's flexibility, efficiency, and relatively light weight make it the most potent man-portable, anti-armor & anti-demon weapon system ever produced. The only drawback is the delay in discharge as the capacitors spool up to release the hypersonic sabot payload, requiring the shooter to root in place - not unlike the USA-G10 the weapon is based on. Several cases of these rifles have been released for field testing.
• Range: 50/100/200
• Dmg: 3d12+3, AP: 12
• ROF: 1
• Shots: 12, Helical magazine containing APDS rounds (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabots)
• Minimum Strength: d10 (20 lbs).
• Notes: Integrated Multi-Optics Scope, Hyperkinetic, MD, Snapfire
• • Helical magazines must be custom made by highly skilled weapons shops and have a base cost of 1000 credits each.
• • APDS rounds must be custom made by highly skilled weapons shops and have a base cost of 250 credits each. Silver-
coated ammunition costs 9,000 credits per Shot, and must be custom made as well.
• Rarity: -6 (Rare) Cost: 900,000
