Hello SV,

You are a proud citizen of Nakka.

Nakka has a long and complicated history that is closely intertwined with the histories of its neighboring countries. For centuries, Nakka was ruled by a powerful monarchy that maintained a delicate balance of power with its neighbors through a network of alliances and treaties.

However, everything changed when a group of wealthy and influential families in Nakka banded together to form the first noble house. Over time, the noble houses became more powerful and influential, and began to dominate the political and economic landscape of Nakka. They controlled vast swathes of land and resources, and their members held high positions in government and business.

The rise of the noble houses sparked a series of conflicts and tensions with Nakka's neighbors. Synthia, Resoland, and Veridian each saw Nakka's growing power as a threat to their own interests, and began to form alliances of their own to counter Nakka's influence.

At the same time, the lesser houses in Nakka began to chafe under the rule of the noble houses. They saw themselves as being unfairly excluded from positions of power and influence, and began to organize in secret to challenge the status quo.

As tensions between Nakka and its neighbors continued to mount, a small group of radical revolutionaries in Nakka began to agitate for sweeping social and political reforms. They argued that the noble houses were corrupt and self-serving, and that the only way to save Nakka from collapse was to overthrow them.

The situation in Nakka finally came to a head when Lorrenvia, the most powerful of Nakka's neighbors, began to flex its military muscle in an attempt to intimidate Nakka and assert its dominance over the region. Nakka's rulers realized that they needed to act quickly if they were to survive.

In a desperate bid to save themselves, the noble houses of Nakka formed a secret alliance with the revolutionary movement, agreeing to cede some of their power and wealth in exchange for their support in the coming conflict. Together, the noble houses and the revolutionaries launched a daring campaign to drive Lorrenvia back across the border and secure Nakka's independence.

The war was long and brutal, but in the end, Nakka emerged victorious. However, the cost of the war was high, and Nakka was left in ruins. The noble houses, weakened by the conflict, were forced to cede even more power to the revolutionary movement, which swept into power in the aftermath of the war.

Today, Nakka is a country in transition. The revolutionary government is struggling to rebuild the country and establish a new order, while the noble houses and the lesser houses vie for influence and power. Meanwhile, tensions between Nakka and its neighbors remain high, and many fear that another conflict is imminent.

Ada slowly opened her eyes, and took in her surroundings. She was still in the SCB office, waiting her turn to be called up. Glancing around, she noticed that the place looked brand new, with pristine floors and walls that practically sparkled in the light. Cameras dotted the room, giving her the feeling that she was being watched.

But Ada's attention was drawn to something else entirely. A small device sat in the corner of the room, sleek and black, with the words "VioTech" emblazoned on its side. She strained her eyes, trying to make out the model number. Was it the VTC-5S4K, or maybe the VTC-8S2? It was difficult to tell from this angle, but either way, it was clear that this was no ordinary piece of technology. This was high-tier, cutting-edge equipment.

As she sat there, waiting for her turn, Ada couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that this model was known for it's ability to capture high-quality footage and audio, and that this particular device was probably storing hours upon hours of data. Every move she made, every word she spoke, was being recorded and filed away in some database, ready to be scrutinized at a moment's notice.

With a sense of urgency, Ada pulled out her phone, making sure to shield the screen from any prying eyes. She quickly searched for the app she had in mind, her fingers moving rapidly over the screen. Finally, she found it, and with a few deft taps, she entered the "Free Wi-fi" network details that were written on the sign hanging in the corridor.

As the phone connected to the network, Ada felt a small sense of triumph.

"Next, Finn Cole, Room 2!" the electronic voice of the PA system boomed in the corridor, Bingo, now just to follow the path of the informationPA… they got it from this server…. hmm, lets try… Huh, there. Finn Cole, 23 years old joined the corps five years ago, was injured in the conflict with Lorrenvia and transferred to the Military Intelligence branch, he was sent here to get a V-Clearnce level.

You notice that when "Finn" got up he left you as first in line, that leaves you little time to decide what to do with your new access to one of the SCB databases.


[] touch nothing. (DC 0)
[] change some minor details. (Hidden DC)
-[] Write-in: what you change?
[] change a lot of stuff or even add new identities or delete some. (Hidden DC)
-[] Write-in: what you change?
[] oops, what database? a faulty error in the network caused the removal of all of the information, oops (Hidden DC)

Perhaps you could download some of the information? you only got your phone so you don't have a lot of space

[] better not risk it (DC 0)
[] I better focus on a specific agency (hidden DC)
-[] Write in: What agency you focus on
[] Let's just take info of today's candidates (hidden DC)
[] Go big or go home, right? let's try to get some really sensitive information, ohh they save some R-Clearance level details in here? (hidden DC)

As you ponder what to do, the PA system says "Next, Ada Cardal, Room 5!", you quickly activated the function that would allow you to do what you decided, and turn to enter the room.

As Ada approached the entrance to the SCB office, a short bearded man intercepted her, his hand held out to stop her from entering with her phone. you complied, reluctantly handing over the device . The man's demeanor was serious, and his eyes seemed to scan you up and down before nodding his approval and leading you inside.

The office was plain and unassuming, with nothing to distract from the business taking place within. The only decoration in the room was a camera that stared unblinking at Ada from its perch on the wall. As she took a seat in one of the two chairs in front of the desk, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. This was no ordinary interview, and the man before her seemed to know it.

"Hello Miss Cardal," he said in a serious tone, introducing himself as Daniel. "I will be conducting your interview for a V level Security Clearance."

It's a long process, you talk about each stage of your life, your family, your friends and countless other topics, you answer to the best of your ability except a few questions.

"Have you ever been convicted of a crime?"

This makes you a pause for a second, before answering that you weren't convicted

[] It just threw you off that all.
[] Well, technically you've never been convicted but…
-[] Write-in

"Have you ever provided false information on a security clearance application or any other official document?"

You answer no, but keep thinking about your phone and the app that is currently running on it.

As the interview progresses, Daniel begins to ask more specific questions about your work experience and qualifications.

"Can you tell me about your previous employment at Cyberdyne Systems?"

"Have you ever been involved in any corporate espionage or theft of intellectual property?"

"Do you have any ties to foreign governments or organizations?"

As the interview nears its end, Daniel takes a deep breath and asks a question that catches you off guard.

"Miss Cardal, Have you ever been affiliated with any terrorist groups or organizations?"

You feel a sudden wave of discomfort and uncertainty. You could lie and say no, or you could tell the truth and risk potential discrimination or bias.

[] Non at all.
[] Well I supported the "revolutionary movement", it was considered a terrorist group at the time… (It's acceptable answer as they won)
-[] Write-in (how did you support them, financially, by working with them or in another way)
[] Write-in (Some other group)

Daniel nodded and made a note on his clipboard.

As soon as Daniel finished taking notes, he looked up and smiled politely at you. "Thank you for coming in today, Miss Cardal. We'll be conducting a thorough review of your file, and our team will reach out to you within the next few days with their decision."

You get up, take your phone and leave. That was your first impression of The Security Certification Bureau.
