SECONDARY QUEST- Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Ney was silent for a moment. "That is...a very interesting offer, Mr. Rapids. Complete autonomy for scientific research, and a leading position in the new government? Very interesting." He smoked obsessively on his cigarette.

 "If I were to consider your proposal," He said at last, "If, I would have certain conditions. I can't sabotage any Order defences or anything before the change in government. Their troops would hunt me down in hours, and I'm not going on the lam for anyone. I need rebel protection for me and a couple of others." 

Again he stopped. "And I need you to do something for me. A personal favour. I have a certain...female friend who is...easy living." He meant whore. "And this friend's boss has certain documents that prove that we have a...business arrangement. I need you to destroy the documents and 'convince' my friend's employer to cease showing an...undue amount of attention in me. Do that, and I'll seriously consider your offer.  My friend's boss is at the Bourbon Avenue club."

OBJECTIVES ADDED: 

- Destroy the ledger containing proof of Dr. Ney's affair
- Intimidate the Madam of Bourbon Ave into leaving Ney and his 'friend' alone

@Letter Bee No problem, it actually makes it easier when dealing with a non-combat orientated quest like this one. You're taking the right direction, incidentally. Hard logic is the way to convince Ney. But remember that even if you fail to win him over, you still have bribery and blackmail.

SECONDARY QUEST-Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

"Well, son, I'm sorry for your loss." Ney said, "But I'm not convinced. Say I do throw in my lot with the rebels. They might win in the long run, but what happens in the meantime?Or in the aftermath? Anarchy. Chaos. I saw enough of that while I was a kid in Illinois to know I don't want to see any more. " The doc lit his cigarette. 

"And you speak of rewards, and freedom to conduct research. But I'm no fool. Any advances I make would be stolen from me by the Revolution, as the Order has done. That's the nature of government and bureaucracy." Ney shook his head. "I've seen it all over the wastes." Then he hesitated, just for a second. "What sort of rewards are we talking about here?"

@Letter Bee I'm responding to your post now. Generally from me you can expect two or three posts a day if they're shorter, like the ones we are writing now, or one a day if they're longer.

Post your characters in ooc first, we can get a look at em first.

The Minds of the Living

As Adolf Hitler's Third Reich spiralled ever downward towards its' apocalyptic end through 1944, a great many German soldiers, scientists, and Nazi party members began to prepare themselves for a defeat that had been unthinkable in the heady days of 1940. Many resigned themselves to fight to the death, expecting no mercy from the Soviets who were ever closer to crossing onto the sacred soil of the Fatherland itself. 

There were some, however, who saw in the looming defeat as a setback, not the end. 

The most important of these men was SS Oberstgruppenfuhrer Otto Ganz. The second in command of the SS Science Division, Ganz had been part of the team that had pioneered the use of the gas Zyklon B used in Hitler's insane plot to exterminate an entire race of people. From 1942 onwards Ganz was assigned the mammoth task of building a vast bunker housing many of the Third Reich's most secret science projects. After the destruction of Army Group Centre in the Summer of 1944 the German leadership also began transferring masses of its stolen art treasures, looted from Paris to Prague, to this secret base that carried the  same codename as Hitler's Headquarters: The Wolf's Lair. Where this base was located was a mystery. Otto Ganz died in a Soviet ambush on the 7th of May, 1945, whilst he was trying to escape Berlin.

And now a fragment of documents from the Army Group North, that operated in the North of the Soviet Union, has come to light in the Archives in Berlin. They claim that in the Courland Peninsula there is a bunker that was operated by Ganz, and contains clues to the whereabouts of this fabulous cache of Nazi engineering and loot. 

Will you join the hunt? Others are after this hoard, and will not hesitate to use force to claim it.

Good luck.

Talon Corporation

Formed by the merger of three Private Military Companies operating out of South Africa, Argentina, and Austria, the Talon Corp is one of the most vicious and uncompromising PMCs in the world today. Operating all over the globe, they bring brute force and terrifying brutality to any strategic or tactical problem. 

But there is a darker secret hidden in the Talon. It's leader, 60 year old Edvard Pieterzoon, is a South African Boer who espouses the ideas of National Socialism. Not only that but his father was Otto Ganz's aide de camp, serving in the SS during their worst atrocities. Pieterzoon has been searching for Nazi artefacts for forty years, and the clue recently discovered  in the Berlin war archives could lead him to the greatest Nazi artefact of all-greater than even Pieterzoon could have imagined.

Talon Corporation is led by Edvard Pieterzoon and his second in command, Patrick Collins. It is based in Pretoria, South Africa.

Special Operations Executive (SOE)

Named after Winston Churchill's wartime sabotage agency, the SOE is a clandestine organization whose aim is to combat fascism and totalitarianism in all it's forms. Its operatives have fought in Spain, South America, the Balkans, and in Iraq and Afghanistan (religious extremism is viewed as a form of fascism by the group). The Talon Corporation is one of the SOE's most powerful foes, and the SOE is just as interested in getting their hands on Ganz's facility as Talon Corp. They have also heard about the discovery in Berlin, and are making moves to obtain it before the Neo-Nazi mercenaries do.

Relying on highly motivated volunteers and the financial backing of several powerful individuals, the SOE operates in small cells that can handle both espionage and combat. 

The Special Operations Executive is led by the mysterious Council of Five. Its' HQ is hidden deep underneath London, in a WWII era Underground station.

These are the two main factions. Others- like governments, police forces, militias-will come later, as they appear.

The game rules are quite simple. The plot moves along in chapters, which I will set out and serve as the opposition. I could go into more detail, but it would be easier to give an example. For the opening chapter I'll need more detailsof your characters too, so that I can work around it. You can kill any NPCs except those I say you can't (mostly commanders)

CHAPTER I- Ghosts of the General Staff

Location-Berlin, Germany. Federal Records building

Opposition-Talon Corp, German Politzei (possibly)

Records have been recently discovered that contain locations of one of the SS science division's facilities. Make your way to the records vault, located in the basement of the records building, and find the location. The building is not open to the public so if you're not invited, you'll have to be creative.

Enemies are armed with light weapons (nightsticks, pistols) and are wearing light armour.

It would be more detailed once I know more about your characters.

The Minds of the Living (Uncharted Style RP)

I'm working on some of the details now.
