Special Forces of Arcology VII

Arcology Seven Special Forces on a mission in former Venezuela, hunting for the mutant cyborg gorilla rebel leader known as Augustus. 

The gorillas, long enslaved on plantations throughout the region in lieu of more expensive (and less disposable) robot labourers, turned to rebellion and guerilla tactics under their leader, Augustus. 

Grand Lady Alesea

Lady Alesea, guardian grand master of the Cameld Biodome; the elite were charged with fielding their own mecha in the defense of the dome, backed by peasant militia and repurposed industrial robots. Lady Alesha’s exploits included slaying the Appalachian Cyclops and the cyborg wraith, Scron. 

Sniper platform

A gunner platform above a viro-zombie infested city; the sentries are armed with old fashioned kinetic energy weapons. Automatic fire proved less useful than long range sniper weapons against zombies: shoot them in the head or they don’t stay dead.

Sole survivor

Karl Ville, the last survivor of city square tower in Polloch, Ohio. He claimed mutant avians carried away his remaining family members once their ammunition ran out. Others suspected he just used that to cover the murder his family. The subject of numerous true crime podcasts, he was eaten by a giant irradiated cockroach a week before his trial.

Argus-6 telescope

An Argus-6 telescope on Ganymede, being repaired by two technicians; these mass produced detectors were used to record activity on nearby moons, the asteroid belt and in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter. Their large lenses were crafted in zero-G to avoid deformities, and shielded by a deflector from micrometeorites.

Flight 714 found

Explorers come across the wreckage of Flight 714, lying deep in the Amazon jungle. Several top CDC personnel were aboard, on their way to deal with the outbreak of a xenovirus in Rio. The virus went on to spread world wide, killing millions.

XV-404 Moon Crawler

A XV-404 moon crawler on the surface of Enceladus; reliable and cheap to produce, these machines were the primary transport while terraforming was in progress. They were modular by design, and could serve as flatbed transports (as seen here), mobile power plants, ECM projectors, research platforms, crew transports and more. Over 6000 were produced. Fusion powered, they used Jupiter’s endless hydrogen, which tankers scooped from the gas giant’s upper atmosphere, for fuel. With a max range of 10000 km and a living quarter module that could support up to four people for six months, they were especially popular with Solterra caravans. If the cargo container was swapped out for a cabin pod, it could comfortably support 12 people.
