Record Profile (Clearance required: Central Command Nanotrasen Navy Internal Affairs Central Branch)

 

Mr Neil A. Wilkinson first appeared on our low level radar when he enlisted as an officer in the now disbanded Royal Marines Commando, an elite military force which was amalgamated into the Sol Marines. It must be noted out of each batch of trained officers there are several selected as "Potential Recruits" by NT recruitment. He seems to have acheived distinction from his arduous training and joined his assigned unit as Troop Commander (Platoon of 30 Commandos) by the age of 24. His time with the Royal Marines was short-lived as he was discharged after a forced reduction in Commando forces, however the young Lieutenant received some praise for professionalism under duress during limited action against planetary based pirates in the Atlantic Ocean.

 

The day of his discharge, contacts within the Commanding structure approached the Lieutenant and suggested Nanotrasen as a suitable employer, to which he enquired at a recruitment office, and was accepted without delay, retaining his rank of Lieutenant within the Nanotrasen Navy (Which, for those of you who don't know, doesn't mean a damned thing in the civilian sector). After several months spent training Lieutenant Wilkinson in the Rigours of Space Travel and adapting his otherwise aggressive approach to combat, Lieutenant Neil Wilkinson was assigned to system Epsilon Eridani and the position of Head of Security of NCS Cyberiad. After a couple of months of showcasing excellent leadership and judgement, Mr Wilkinson was allowed to partake in several missions with Emergancy Response Teams in Epsilon Eridani, eventually allowed to carry over his rank as Lieutenant to the force.

 

Several more months passed as Mr Wilkinson opted to train in Station Systems, with the intention to have extensive knowledge of the Engineering Department, when an incident was reported in which large sums of money were transfered to a shadow account unknown with Accounts or Personnel. Internal Affairs investigated and found news clippings of a brutal murder of a minor mobster in New Magnitka corresponded to Shore Leave assigned to the Lieutenant and the payments, adequete measures were taken to assure it wouldn't happen again.

 

Despite concerns from IA, Mr Wilkinson was assigned as Captain of the first shift of the newly refurbished NSS Cyberiad by Central Command of Epsilon Eridani; and acheived great success in Captaining the station for lengthly periods, particularly shifts noted with overt Syndicate action against the station.

 

Issues began arising after a period of time, however. Despite investigations leading to dead ends, it was strongly suspected that Mr Wilkinson had began accepting regular contracts from the Syndicate. Statistics show this correlated to a large number of shifts from which Mr Wilkinson had to be cloned, suggesting repeated cloning was having adverse effects to his loyalty, this behaviour was particularly noted in incident [REDACTED] As a result, ERT reserves cannot partake in ERT missions in their designated systems, and can only be deployed out of System, after External Intelligence has examined all known enemy communications.

 

Another issue noted by both IA and Nanotrasen Navy (Refered to as NTN from here on out) is that the Lieutenant's DNA and cloning backups have been found in use by the Syndicate and other enemies, including Changelings and Vampires, as such it has been found that clone copys of Mr Wilkinson have fought both overtly and covertly against NT forces in Epsilon Eridani, often without any knowledge from the main backup himself.

 

After more than 20 months of excellent work from Mr Wilkinson, efforts were made to intergrate him into the ranks of the NTN, to take advantage of his devoloped skills for combat, covert action and leadership. Over an extended period of time this has resulted in a promotion to Honoury Lieutenant Commander and partial assignment to NMV Icarus' Marine detachment within Epsilon Eridani. Despite this recent promotion it has been marked down in the ship's CoC that he has no authority over the detachment, which remains under the detachment Major based on the ship, instead acting in advisery roles on board and allowing him to command boarding or planetary missions when it is deemed appropriate by the Ship's CO.

 

Standing Assignments: The Lieutenant Commander is deployed in three configurations depending on requirements from Central Command, whenever he is not on Shore Leave:

 

[*]Deployment One is the least common role for Neil to be deployed in. In this role he liases between Emergancy Response Teams and the Icarus, while remaining on the Trurl, ensuring the teams have adequete cover during transit to their Mission Area, and that the Icarus knows if there are any issues with Team evac not limited to containing Code 5-10. Secondary duties are purely administrative and assist Icarus personnel with Shore Leave, and returning from said leave.

[*]Deployment Two sees the LT. Cmmdr. deployed onboard NMV Icarus amoungst its' Marine detachment. Primary duties onboard includes training the Ship's Company in combating internal Syndicate Threats (It is noted the Icarus is far more adept at fighting off internal threats than the Cyberiad, as every crewmember is trained, at the very least, in basic combat.) and advising the Ship's Marines in training of their planetary combat. Secondary Duties take the form of assisting or personally taking command of, Marine Excursions to combat Syndicate bases which are out of the portfolio for the Icarus' other offensive options. (Can't be taken out by either the Combat Drones or the Ship's BSA Cannon) (See incident NTNMVI-078-A3 for Performance Example)

[*]Deployment Three is the only Civilian Sector deployment for Mr Wilkinson. It is simply the continuation of his role onboard the NSS Cyberiad, which can take the form of a large variety of jobs, but most notably as Captain. This is also the deployment which has seen the most issues from Neil Wilkinson, as there have been many documented examples of overt and covert attacks from a clone or a changeling with the appearance of Mr Wilkinson. Care should be taken if he is assigned to a job that does not include a loyalty implant prior to shift start.

Added a little story about Wilkinson's time in Nanotrasen employment, its a tad over the top I know but ahhhhhhhhhhh.

[Nomzy]

 

I have great plans about threatening Neil about this as Junko.

I GOTTA

 

[DZD]

Beware his ghost, for his puns are many and their corn is strong.

Most of my puns are pretty sure, i call those one-inch pun(ch)s

 

[Arthur_Dayne]

 

Your face.

Chomp Chomp.

 

[Sparkyninja]

So I got bored and did a less snowflakey story for Neil, I'll add in some more "lore" for him, to expand upon what he does when not on the Cyberiad

Nanotrasen Navy Military Vessal Icarus - Patrol 078 - Assault Option 3 - Incident 008 Recovered

Incident Report is marked REDACTED from all Public records.

 

[REPORT BEGINS]

MISSION BACKROUND: Recon Drone Sweep - 078-645 reported geographical anomaly on Epsilon Eridani IIIc (Survey Reports indicate 3c s a frozen moon, rotating at half the speed of Earth, with small mineral deposits unsuited for large scale mining operations). In response and with the drone sweep nearing the end of its' patrol, another drone was sent, marked as 078-645a. 645a surveyed the anomaly and discovered a bluespace anomaly blocking advanced sensors, optical sensors relayed back photos and Intelligence determined a small Syndicate base was located at the anomaly.

 

Assessments of the recovered intelligence drew conclusions that the base had several defensive measures;

1. BlueSpace Inhibator fields preventing advanced scans of the facility and also preventing accurate bombardment from BlueSpace Artillery.

2. Ground Based BlueSpace Artillery aimed at orbital defence, preventing line of sight from Icarus to target.

3. Autocannon Anti-Air defences capable of countering Combat Drone wings and close ranged Assault Shuttles.

 

Conclusion from Intelligence suggested a ground based assault utilising Marine elements onboard the Icarus, Icarus CO Captain [REDACTED] approved mission based on assessments, Major Williams, CO Marine detachment Icarus notified.

 

Marine officers ordered to assemble on deck and PoD (Plan of Diplomacy...) was formulated. On approval from Ship CO, Lt Cmmdr Neil A. Wilkinson assigned mission CO, with Major Williams OC.

 

Mission original objectives as follows:

[*] Gain Control of Syndicate facility

- Disable AA defences.

- Disable BSA defences.

- Disable BSI countermeasures.

- Gain control of Base Command.

- Disable onsite defence personnel.

- Detain any and all Syndicate Officers.

- Recover any and all Syndicate Intelligence.

- Ascertain the nature and purpose of the Syndicate Base.

 

FINAL NOTE: With Intelligence Assessments, it was determined a team of five(5) Specialists and one(1) officer more than adequate to assault and disable any obstacles.

 

After Action Report:

 

Friendly losses: 25 Combat Drones, 0(zero) marines.

Enemy losses: 30-90 armed personnel, 40+ (to the realms of unknown) civilian deaths.

 

Outcome of Original Objective: FAILED - Syndicate Base destroyed in Nuclear Blast.

 

Misson CO Written Report:

 

Assault Shuttle left Icarus docks at 0500 Base Time (so 1000 relative Earth rotation) and proceeded with Silent Running Modules engaged; transit to LZ uneventful and is noted for lack of weather cover on approach, so NOE (Nap Of the Earth, really god damned low) approach is taken. Team dismounts with Sergeant James Hughs 2NCOIC +4 specialists of varying specialisations outfitted in Heavy Combat kit.

 

During transition from LZ to AO on foot, one unspecified marine trips hidden alarm, robotic and organic sentries engage and squad returns fire, quickly and efficiently ending engagement. Examination of human sentry allows a tap into Enemy Communications, and it is revealed the element of surprise has been lost, with Intelligence analysis of communications suggesting upwards of 50+ Syndicate Combat troops on site. Mission OC suggests withdraw of Marine Squad, as Mission CO I over-ride and alter objectives to exclude primary objective;

 

[*] Ascertain the nature and purpose of the Syndicate Base.

[*] Disable AA defences.

[*] Disable BSA defences.

[*] Disable BSI countermeasures.

[*] Gain control of Base Command.

[*] Disable onsite defence personnel.

[*] Detain any and all Syndicate Officers.

[*] Recover any and all Syndicate Intelligence.

[*] Destroy Syndicate Base.

 

Progressing with the Assault efforts are made to move to a different flank before being engaged by Primary Syndicate forces. These efforts prove successful and the NT Assault Party ambushed and fought off a unit of 20+ Syndicate Operatives with no injuries to friendly forces, and severe casualties to enemy forces prior to withdrawal.

 

Assault Party then breached the Syndicate Base from Opposing side from arrival bearing in attempt to catch defenders off-guard. Despite early success this was quickly foiled by civilian personnel onsite and an intense firefight soon took place inside one of the base's main corridors. As a result the defenders were beaten back, again heavily bloodied, however one marine received severe injuries and all others in the assault party carried minor injuries.

 

While my own following orders were... Not immediately understood, the party then staged an assault on what appeared to be the base's Medical Bay, with stated orders to allow treatment of the injured specialist. Little resistance was met within the medbay, despite high numbers of injured personnel at the location, and a surgery room was requisitioned for treatment of the marine. During this time, an interrogation of a medical doctor took place and a basic understanding of base structure was gained;

- The Base was 3 levels deep with only 1 level above ground.

- The Base had a rudimentary Artificial Intelligence that was hampering our Assault Party.

- The Base had a larger than originally assessed Defence detail.

- Many of the civilians in the Base crew had began arming themselves to assist with reeling our attack.

 

Unfortunately the subject of the interrogation expired before giving information on the Facility's purpose, possibly through self-medicated Overdose.

 

With the injured Marine receiving attention, myself as mission CO and 2 specialists proceeded to location of the Base AI. Despite resistance the AI Core was breached and obliterated. Upon return to the requisitioned surgery, the injured marine has regained combat effectiveness and the mission proceeds. On exiting the medical bay, efforts are made to ensure no more Syndicate personnel can receive attention, knocking those severely injured out of the fighting. (This sentence here is why this ENTIRE Report is Redacted from Public viewing, I am more than certain most of the Space Geneva Laws were broken here...)

 

Using localised intel, the Assault Party determined the location of the Autocannon AA to be on the surface level, which was largely abandoned by Syndicate personnel due to Marine Combat Effectiveness. Therefore we proceeded and hacked the AA, disabling the defences against our Combat Drones. Contact was then made with the Icarus, which sent several Combat Drone wings and a supply wing with ammunition for our weapons and medical supplies to treat personnel injuries.

 

After assessing Intel gained on site and restocking on mission supplies and providing First Aid to all injuries, the location of the BSA and BSI were ascertained to be on the second level, heavily guarded by remaining Syndicate personnel.

 

Combat Drones were dispatched to primary assault vectors, screening the Assault Party, allowing the team to flank immediate defensive positions on the stairs and allowing further assault on the second level. Despite heavy Drone losses primary resistance was broken and the drones were set to patrol on KILL. The Marine Team first located the BSA targeting computers, using explosives to quickly dispatch the defence's effectiveness, with this the Icarus manoeuvred into direct view of the Syndicate base and Drone combat effectiveness increased due to reduced distance to the Icarus.

 

Despite meeting continued, yet sporadic resistance, the Assault Party located what appeared to be vital paper printed intel and disabled the safeties preventing theft. Given the nature of the intel I alert on the OC, Ship CO and Intel CO, not allowing other party members a chance to examine the documents. From these documents, I was, however, able to reveal to the party the Base's purpose was to create low yield Nuclear Fission Explosives commonly seen in use by Nuclear Operatives assaulting the NSS Cyberiad. This was done by mining the low amounts of uranium beneath the base, most likely explaining why it escaped detection from our EM detectors for so long.

 

With the Ship CO and mission OC satisfied with the findings, combat drones and Assault Party assault the BSI and, despite heavy resistance, managed to disable it. With Base defences fully disabled Recon Drones did an extensive scan and detect radiation throughout the Base, with the highest concentration in an area earlier assessed to be a type of Science division.

 

The team assaulted this position and confirms the presence of Plutonium centrafuges and a viable Nuclear Fission Explosive, complete with nuclear codes stapled to it, so the operatives apparently will never forget them. Using advanced hacking techniques, (Read, sticking a coding card) our hacking specialist simulated a nuclear disk and with codes provided, the party armed the Nuclear Fission Explosive.

 

With this action the Assault Party and the Combat Drones egressed from the Syndicate Base, and were exfiltrated via an LZ close to the Syndicate Base. Fission Detonation was detected 60 seconds later after extraction.

 

 

-Despite failure of original mission objectives, likelihood of success was reduced regardless of a scenario where the facility would be assaulted by a increased Marine detachment, in my opinion. Despite forces opposing, the Specialist team must be commended for their bravery and discipline under heavy fire, and willingness to follow all orders issued.

 

- Lieutenant Commander Neil A. Wilkinson, Commanding.

 

Mission OC After Action Assessment: The team sent under the command of Lt Cmmdr Wilkinson performed admirably considering the opposition's strength throughout the engagements. Part of this success should be attributed to the Mission CO's adept handling of an everchanging situation, regardless of the potential bad press that might come from wiping out any civilian crew.

 

[REPORT ENDS]

 

-There, theres a little more to what I perceive Neil would do almost everyday he isn't on the Cyberiad!

 

EDIT: Jesus Christ I had to fix so many Grammar errors I wonder if I was drunk writing this (Which I was...)
