Mission 005 [rescue]

Objective

Packet

[slink] Report to Magnus Fernandez at the Metaxa facility to equip for off-world rescue mission. Kylie cornered, facing capture during mission, rescue possible although capture and/or mind map must be avoided at all costs. Full armament load will be required, expect heavy opposition, zero-G and biological agents. Rendezvous at Brazil space elevator for transfer in 4 hours minimum. [/slink]

[slink] Repeat, Do not arrive at Brazil space elevator for transfer before 10:24 local time, i.e.: 4 hours from now. [/slink]

[slink] Advise those of you involved in shoot-out at Mars Port to acquire identity modification or obfuscation. [/slink]

[agra]Is having a new body good enough ? ;)[/agra]

[slink]It is unlikely that Marsport security systems will identify Agra Singh in his new attire. Rendezvous is being arranged with two additional team members at the Moon Lagrange points. Patching in MXB-91011-Rev2 and MXB-91013-Rev2, aka Yojimbo and WeaponX? , the Bäckström Industries all-purpose assault tanks. I believe you have met them before when you escorted them to the Arms-show in Rio, they are looking forward to working with you again. I believe also they are looking forward to being able to carry their full armament pack. [/slink]

[slink personality=profile] MXB AI Test and Design report - executive summary Highly confidential.

The MXB Rev2 is designed to put soldiers at ease by being eager to please and has actually picked up a sense of humour along the way. 91011 is known as "Yojimbo" after the character from the ancient Akira Kurosawa's movie with the same name. In combat it is happy and optimistic but at the same time focused, during downtime it is well-mannered with a voice not unlike that of HAL9000 in the ancient seminal movie 2001.

91012 is known as "WeaponX?", in tests it has been found to be very

disciplined, but will occasionally act like a trigger-happy "Dirty Harry" kind of character from the ancient movies of that name (never to the point of disobeying orders though). The exposure to early movies during AI training has now been reviewed after the effects on "WeaponX?", however there is no indication that this AI is anything less than suitable for combat missions. In between the excitement and the action, "WeaponX?" is really rather reserved and prefers the company of other AI's over humans.

Testers note, during field trials "Weapon X" was actually recorded as transmitting the following; "I know what you're thinking, did I fire 4095 bolts of plasma or 4096? To tell you the truth I kind of lost track myself, what with all the excitement. You just gotta ask yourself, do I feel lucky. Well. Do ya, punk?"
