Hyde Neiman was what BESC themselves might label a 'loose cannon' but there was absolutely no denying his effectiveness in the field. Right now he was managing a surveillance center that had been set up in a low-rise apartment building across the street from some suspected insurrectionists. BESC had purchased the property as part of their 'Buy Back Babylon' state run accommodation scheme and immediately put it to use as a cuckoos nest. Neiman had overseen dozens of operatives troop into the flat carrying heavy cases of military hardware. The cases were snapped open satisfyingly to unveil a host of intelligence machines which linked them to cameras, drones, squads on the ground, everything. When everything was set up and operational, Neiman sloped off and found the apartment's toilet where he promptly suffused himself with a healthy dose of Bactralye, an organically grown anti-depressant from Cornucopia. One of his sources, a woman by the name of Tzu, contacted him telepathically via implant. "Hyde, your vitals are so fascinating. Why is your heart rate one hundred and ninety two? Are you sprinting to catch a train?" Neiman internally laughed, when he was able to stop he shot back: "It's some good shit okay? What've you got for me?" The walls were beginning to melt, Neiman usually spent about five minutes in the toilet after a hit to calm down. All his colleagues thought he had an irritable bowel. "Someone wants you dead." "No shit, someone always wants me dead. Who is it this time." "I don't know yet, but I've located the assassins who picked up the request. They're inbound and will be danger close in under an hour." Neiman stood up and re tightened his jumpsuit trousers. "Thanks for the heads up Tzu, ping me the details and i'll wire you the money when they're dead."

Nice post Sparx, and well done for taking the initiative! I'll have a go at being Hyde Neiman shall i? ^^

Name: [Thales ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhahoeHcvm0)Persimmon Sex: Female Age: 28 Role: Mage Liason  Personality: Thales, to most people, wouldn't be considered a 'nice' person. Compassion and kindness seldom break through the ambition and careerism Thales has made the foundation of her life. Her work always seems to come first and although she is a brilliant manager and strategist, her people skills could leave something to be desired. She'd good at reading people's strengths and weaknesses and will not fail to put them to use where they are most needed. Thales tends to snap and use biting wit as the go to reaction when faced with personal questions, usually distancing herself from people who she considers inconsequential to her income. History: Born to very humble parents, Thales grew up being told to keep her head 'beneath the parapet' so as to not draw attention to herself. It was at age twenty, when first her father died when their house caught fire and her mother went mad with grief, that she realized that she couldn't afford to do that. Nobody would remember her parents because they lived such unremarkable lives; to her it seemed pointless even being alive if nobody would remember her when she was gone. Over the next few years she completely changed her mindset to one of success and authority. She would become someone who'd be recounted in tales through the millennium. She honed the modest magical power that her bloodline possessed into something fearsome and passionate. Thales served in a variety of roles, from battlemage to courier but moved to Antioch in the wake of a series of military defeats at the hands of the Nazarene. Seeing the opportunity, Thales fucked and then murdered the Mage Liason to the city before taking his place. The cadres were slow to trust her but gradually warmed to the calm confidence and brilliant leadership she seemed to exude. One of her first tasks was overhauling the frankly archaic hierarchy the Order followed. Building a higher chain of command created more promotion and also made her more powerful still. The adepts in the order loved her for it and it was them who would be on her side in the event of a coup. Likewise, Thales maintains passable working relationships with the other Liaisons. While a driven individual, she isn't below exchanging favors if she's guaranteed a decent return on her investments. She has the kind of magnetic personality which will curry favor from weak minded people as well as make it easy to form alliances. Weapon of choice: A thin, short scimitar and an explosive mastery of magic. For no real reason she specializes in water related spells. To aid her Thales insists on jars of fresh water be kept at regular intervals on the city walls and in her private quarters. She even goes so far as to have a small purse of water on her person at all times to use if necessary. Having said this, she hasn't neglected other schools of magic such as fire and earth but her expertise lie firmly in the elements.

Is this CS okay? Please tell me if there are any discrepancies here so i can correct them. :)

Ooh, exciting. ;)

I'd probably take the Mage Liason in that case.

Having a religious order tend the crops is a neat idea. However in a siege situation (were food is in short supply), it would put them in a position of inordinate power.

I'm kind of here. I've been going through some stuff but i could probably get the defibrillators out if other people resurfaced?

What would a Cultivator Liason do exactly? Liase with the Magnificent one?
