Consortium“Guns Will Definitely Kill You”

Pre-game Background, Briefly

(Read the rest of it in the wrapup doc!)

Things You Should KnowThe Consortium is in the process of forming Sword. It is controlled by a woman known as The Commander (Warlock).Continuum is one of the fronts for the Illuminati.HaroldVex, LLC is a shell company through which Saab performed research on human test subjects. Harold Vex is not a person.Captain Steve Hughes is not the same person as Hayes.

Hayes was the US Attaché, killed by Cali pre-game. Captain Hughes (a war buddy of The Commander) was the person at the center of a vast international network of spy contacts, killed by Yurapan, Knudsen, Samatar, and Kwan pre-game.

Things You Should KnowThere was a three-day game (“Kill for the keycard”) during the first weekend. Phillips was not defusing a nuke. He was modifying the satellite for his own purposes.There was nothing that could have gone wrong at the launch of the Amazon.com Space Elevator.All of the ambassadors were spies (except for Chipunza, a plant).Ambassadors did have ties to their respective governments… except for Knudsen, who was just using “Danish Ambassador” as a cover.
