>>6171424<span class="mu-i">Good eye, Agent</span> - I've briefly adjusted the feed and borrowed a line from the Black Tide near the section. We are looking at ... Phewiieee. Yeah, alright, those manager types roll <span class="mu-s">heavy</span>.
That is a pair of Chironan Corporate's finest Collections Division Agents. Or, well, as someone with less good branding might call them, corporate commandoes or security consultants. <span class="mu-s">It looks like</span> they still have their guns - 4C urban smg types, I'll get you the specs in a minute - but they're locked down and the smartlinks are off-line.
Obsidian Tide policy would make that mandatory. If Agent Mammoth can't bring a carbine in full access mode, then neither can the Chironans, though I bet you they'll have complained about it before they slapped the blockers on the gun systems. They won't be using those until they strip the system-lock. I am not going to even pretend for a moment that this is something they can't do, but if they did, we'd know about it, and it'll take them a while. So they're being quite polite, really.
Pair of integrated Scandrones, Chironan make, piping right to their shades and systems. So they'll have <span class="mu-s">Sensors</span>spotting damn near everything around them. And I think these two must have been picked for their precision, style and general demeanour. No obvious skin level implants, which is just more frightening, <span class="mu-s">because then you know they have reaction-reflex augmentation</span>.
That makes them dodgy, fast, agile and good at staying the distance. Very light armor, just some armored jackets. So they'd go down if someone landed a hit, but to land a hit, you'd need to surprise them. Seems unlikely.
Let's . . . be careful around these types, Agents. They're twitchy, overpaid and really, really dangerous.
Chironan Orbital flung a scatter-spray at us for poking one of their drones and I've had to change TS Devonshires meshID's twice since then because they're still gently looking for him, on a kind of "We'd like you to know we don't forget" level.
They're just like that. Part of the brand. Reliable, rugged, resilient. Chironan cares. But it cuts both ways. They... care.
In any case, we shouldn't have any trouble with them tonight. They aren't actually hunting for Devonshire with intent to harm, I think it's a psy-ops campaign to spook him. Just some low level system flag pinging autonomously. But I will say it is spooky.
Nothing I have indicates Mox is doing anything with any Chironan types, managers, security, traders, nothing. So that's good. They can stay in their corner.
