Background[edit]
Dr. Meyer Kohl has developed the hyper interface, an advanced version of the symbiotic link used in power armor and other robotic vehicles. His work promises to further enhance the capabilities of skilled pilots and give the Coalition the ultimate edge against the alien menace that threatens our borders. Unfortunately Dr. Kohl and his body guard have both vanished with all of his data, and the the rest of his research team has been murdered.
What happened to Dr. Kohl? Was he kidnapped? Vaporized? Did he defect for moral reasons? Is he trying to sell his invention to another power? This story can also go several different ways depending on how the players want to go at it. They could be CS operatives attempting to track down Dr. Kohl while determining whether he is a defector, or they could be a group of mercenaries contracted to act as local guides and specialists, or they could have heard of the incident through gossip channels.
Characters[edit]
The group will need to decide what side they wish to be on. If they are CS operatives, the entire group will be made up of military and espionage agents; possibly with one psychic member. If they choose to be bounty hunters, they'll need to come up with a good reason for working together but almost any character concept will work. As with all of my Rifts options, I will approve characters.
Rules[edit]
While my preference is generally going to be for any other set of rules, I would be willing to run this game using the standard Rifts set. I would prefer to use about any generic rule set; particularly Wild Talents. I would also be willing to use my own Rifts inspired homebrew.
