Quick Reaction Force, Group 3
Quick Reaction Force, Group 3 was a private-military squad, belonging to an unidentified corporation, owned through various shell-companies by the Apex Cybernetics. Group 3 spent several year stationed on the African sub-continent, participating in cladestine, off-the-record operations for the benefactors.
Though much of the squad's records are redacted, or destroyed, some of their time was documented.
Africa, Somalia, circa 1993[edit]
Roster[edit]
"Ajax"[edit]
Ajax, real name Anthony Hotlz, was a military conscript, fresh out of the academy, an the newest member of the group. Despite having been forcibly conscripted, he adjusted well to his membership in the group.
"Luna"[edit]
Luna, real name REDACTED, was a veteran military contractor, specializing in information warfare, systems infiltration and disruption, and logistics. Using cutting-edge technology provided by their leadership, Luna could single-handedly infiltrate and control an enemy bases' defenses, turning security cameras and turrets back on their owners. Her weapon of choice, an electrified monowire, proved more than deadly in her capable hands.
"Rico"[edit]
Rico, real name REDACTED, was a military contractor, after being dishonorably discharged from the US Army. His training as a fire-team leader, combined with the squad's access to heavy weapons made him a nightmare in a firefight, racking up dozens of kills, single-handedly, in any operation. His weapon of choice, an M-60 he affectionately called "Daisy", proved devastating to anyone unfortunate enough to been seen down his iron-sights. Anyone foolish enough to try harder, was certain to meet their fate at the end of his twin arm-implanted blades, a cybernetic reward for his service record, from Apex.
"Princess"[edit]
Princess, real name REDACTED, a private volunteer, recruited in-field by QRF, was a more recent addition to the group, who served as the group's driver, for their armored unit. When QRF was involved in a "disturbance" in her village, she readily took up the seat of the squad's previous driver, when she managed to bypass the tank's anti-personnel defenses, via the clever use of mirrors, and brutally killed the driver with a small folding knife. Astonished by the destruction a seemingly minor civilian female was able to perpetrate in battle, and her town having been levelled, the group recruited her to act as their heavy weapons and explosives expert, a role she seemed to relish in.
"Kix"[edit]
Kix, real name REDACTED, was a paramedic, who through an unfortunate series of events, became a fugitive from justice, and fled into the criminal underworld. After spending several years as a "Mob Doctor" in Italy, tending to bullet wounds and lacerations, Kix's skills were recognized by a high-ranking Apex official, on the receiving end of treatment. Due to his history, Kix has a notable substance abuse problem, that has been given special-dispensation by the executive forces. His medical knowledge, combined with medical-grade narcotics, and a healthy dose of caffeine, makes Kix an unstoppable juggernaut in combat, while still functioning as an extremely capable combat medic. His medical knowledge allows him to consume cocktails of narcotics, combat stimulants, and medical-grade caffeine, with little to no ill-consequences.
