Why is your recruiting process for nuclear operatives so loose? It's like nobody has ever been in a military squad everytime I see them try to kill us on the station.

Why do your agents, even confirmed ones operating openly, never face any repercussions from Nanotrasen Command?

I mean, we could have the heads of security and personnel, plus the captain aware that Cindy K. Traitor is running through the halls, E-Bow in one hand, E-Sword in the other, murdering everyone and screaming "FOR THE SYNDICATE!" over the radio, but they show up for work the next day like nothing ever happened. Like Nano didn't even do anything.

What gives?

We suspect that Nanotrasen executes agents we hire, followed by cloning a backup copy made prior to us arranging a contract. Unethical and inhumane actions like these is why we want to get rid of the bastards.

We retrofit jetpacks you steal into the more convenient Jet Harness for our operatives. Modern jetpacks are much more advanced than they look at first glance: Since they need to be able to support a set of internals, they need special parts designed in such a way that they do not expose the lungs of the user to vacuums or hostile environments, even for a split second, and we have not yet managed to reverse engineer these yet. Stealing NT jetpacks simply saves us a lot of time while we figure out how to produce our own.

N-no

Sh-shut up

B-baka

No but uh we don't really have a High Command; we're a decentralized association of likeminded individuals seeking to end Nanotrasen's flagrant abuses of human rights, anti-competitive business practices, and other inhumane actions. Are some high-ranking Syndicate members also affiliated with Nanotrasen? Probably. They have no doubt learned enough to see that Nanotrasen needs to fall.

Severance:
Uhhh we're still figuring that one out. Most of us have sworn not to rest until Nanotrasen or we are dead, but I guess we could give you a bunch of money and a new identity if you really wanted.

We didn't stop recruiting them; Nanotrasen stepped up its security protocols. Loyalty-implanted personnel receive thorough background checks to ensure their lack of... prior commitments to us... and missing pets, friends, or family members... not that those would be related.

How does the teleportation of ones gear work? It seems a tad... Strange.

Also, why do you never send out people to recruit more, why do so many of your "spys" go loud the second they get on, thus defeating the purpose of being a spy, and why cant you just download the blueprints instead of having us steal them?

Summon Balloon is the official Syndicate equivalent of Summon Guns. Have you ever seen a station tear itself apart over one? They have PHEROMONES(tm) and no human can resist the mating call of the balloon.

The shuttle has several other things of use - Identification codes we can use, navigation coordinates, and so on. Besides, sometimes we retrofit them to allow nuclear operatives to approach without being acquired by station sensors as an illegitimate entity.

OOC but:

The first one is a bannable offense, I've literally seen someone get replaced by a ghost for shooting fellow team mates during nuke ops intentionally, unless you mean traitors in which case traitors aren't required to team up.

The second one is hopefully being fixed on NTstation once inhand .dmi limit issue is fixed. Good to see other people take issue with the eguns tho.

Get out bluespace, you've not been relevant since you lost the elections

That said, I think there are a shitton of degenerates here and I'd probably gas the lot of you if I had the chance. ~Loonikus

Wait, wait, wait. MORE IMPORTANTLY, why do you always give your nuclear agents the ONE nuclear device that requires them to tear through half the station in order to acquire from its captain?

I think that can be answered simply, the nuclear bomb the Nuke Ops are using is a Nanotrasen bomb, as evident by a identical bomb being held in the vault. As such a nuclear authentication key is required to activate it, and only station Captain's hold such disk (To activate their own station bomb).
