That's what I figured, just trying to comment more on the effects of write-ins.
Okay so I know what you meant... but when I first read this... I was like wait you paying people to kidnap little girls am I in the wrong quest? Not to mention they'd be gong up against an insane super-biotic.
But yeah, you could hire others as well... I'm sure that would go in another section as opposed to a PI op with would go here.

We would be paying people to kidnap a crazy little girl even if we used our own forces. Also thanks for answering my questions.That's what I figured, just trying to comment more on the effects of write-ins.

We need to find out who is using Revy tech on Jack. We need to get Jack to do that, she may have knowledge that we can use. Also I think STG, Black Watch, and what ever the Asari have will send someone to get her. The magi is not the only thing that Revy has made that can be used to cause havoc.
Edit we are not kidnapping her we are taking these poor unfortunate girl back to SA space to find out what is wrong with her. We need to find out what was done and who did it.

I'm against the kidnapping as well. We would not really benefit from getting her and would be gravely hurt if we were caught
I am pretty sure that if Revy sent her guys, be it ParSec or more discreet agents, it would be to convince her to go with them, maybe ask her what happened to her and give her some essential stuff (because biotic super soldier or no, being without a credit to your name is bad), because Revy would never authorize anything else. On the other hand anyone hired on Omega would likely have no morals whatsoever, and hunt her like an animal.
Sure, the guys would go armed, but that's because it's Omega, and because the Blood Pack will probably be looking for revenge.

Getting involved with Jack is complicated to say the least... On one hand, if done right, we get a hyper powerful asset. OTOH, the risks are tremendous:
-She has an extra helping of Crazy this time around;
-A lot more power to go with that extra crazy, and could easily be turned against us;
-It would be a political shitstorm if we were found out, and we need political clout, a lot of it. AI and ship contracts aren't going to fill themselves.
-We still don't have a curbstomp ship, nor Mk II.
So I say we wait a bit, give her time to cool down, or at the very least get our ducks in a roll. And for the love of god, don't threaten her.
@Hoyr , is her face clearly visible? Any identifying marks (like tattoos)? Also, how does the Turian, Asari and Salarian measure up to the Legionary?
Do you people think we should answer other races getting their own armor with the Mk II? Maybe make it N7 only? Depending in how their armor measures up, it would be just tipping our hands too early, so I'm hesitant.
If we do get her, might wanna prep the ship that brings her home for on the fly plastic surgery. Also, probably research something to fix her modified implants.
Right now, I'm salivating for that Hanar contract. That's trillions in profit, even if we only get to make a class or two of ships. If we can, should probably research Dreadnoughts. Of course, we would maintain the best stuff for the SA.
[X] Deploy to Anhur (Medium to Extreme Risk, Low Profit).
-[X] Deploy Half (50%) of ParSec's forces 168 Million/quarter.
I want to get in on Anhur, not the safest or most profitable, but you can't put a price on good PR. If we need more troops, we relocate them next quarter. This also gives us some smallish profit, but a ton of combat experience comes with it.
[X] Take Strike Missions (Medium to High Risk, High Profit).
-[X] Deploy One Quarter (25%) of ParSec's forces 1d10 billion in profit.
Neat profit, we need more research dice and specialized production for ship building. Could easily be sent to either Anhur or War Games, but profit and diversified training.
[ ] Guard Colonies (Low Risk, Low Profit)
Doesn't really gets us anything.
[X] War Games (No Risk, Negative Profit)
-[X] Deploy One Quarter (25%) of ParSec's forces 22 million lost.
War Games gives us good (and differential) training, helps keeping our friends defending the planet sharp, and most importantly, gives better relations with SA's Navy.

True, but it is extremely risky going right now. Unless we get a good ship, probably our own, and maybe Mk II (has the disadvantage of possibly being recognized later).
If we do go after her, I would prefer to go in person too, but only after we are mostly sure we won't die on the way. Get in, the out, never out of armor (so people won't know it is a little girl giving orders). Probably having some handy disguise ready too, for the extraction.

Yeah, but do we have the necessary fighting skills to subdue her if she turns her crazy on us? We should leave this to the professionals we hired as part of our security forces.
We could go after Jack, and if we get the PR department to do it right we can win bonus points. We care so much about how Paragon tech is being misused we will go to any lengths to make it right. Also if our pr cannot make rescuing a mentally challenged girl in the law less terminus system in good light we need a new Pr department.

We're pretty fit, and a biotic, I obviously don't think we should go alone.

You're acting like I want to go through the Omega 4 relay, people go to Omega all the time, and most of them survive it.

Omega. Capital of the Terminus Omega, given recent events.
For the record, figuring out how to go through the Omega-4 Relay would probably be less of a hassle than dealing with the fallout of Revy Shepard hunting down her rogue science experiment, before taking into account any personal risk.

Right because clearly we're going to go in with all guns blazing, in a ship with our name painter on the side, maybe a picture of us in a bikini next to it.

Adorable, you think our presence will be hidden from the many eyes now focused on this situation?

How would they even know we were there.
I mean obviously we'll leave a message behind for anyone who wants to talk to us saying "BRB OMEGA."
Maybe get some pictures taken with Aria.

Understand this: our movements are tracked.
Every. Day.
This is not a matter of hopping on a flight, this is: "arrange for covert transport to Omega for Revy + a military force capable of handling Jack, arrange for misinformation of local minders, ensure no security leaks surrounding this process, get to Omega, insert yourself into a highly volatile situation that has gained intergalatic attention (in a locale which is populated by people with whom relations are...tense), do this without being identified, stay unidentified despite the distinctive nature of our appearance".
...then we get to actually dealing with Jack.

No, we don't. Nor do we have any impressive social abilities. Someone with actually good social abilities would be far superior.
By paying attention to who comes and goes on Mindoir.
Or, y'know seeing us on Omega, going "oh, hey, that's Shepard" and deciding they want to ruin our day.
Omega is not safe. At all. Remember how things went in ME2 with the plague, and how Aria straight-up didn't give a fuck? How Aria's reaction to a major military operation targeting one person was to basically just tell Shepard to have fun?
Our personal presence does nothing for the situation. We're better off sending some people with appropriate training to try and coax Jack into coming to Mindoir (or a different PI facility).
This in another approach that could be taken.
Face is visible . No tattoos that you can see.
Armor wise the Turian, Asari and Salarian designs are optimized for their warfare styles. All the designs have thrusters and can fly. The Turian one is the most directly comparable it has less weapon mounts but more shields and the Unified Shield tech, The Asari and Salarian designs have shield levels comparable with a standard Legionary as well as being more... refined in apperance? The Asari design has less armor (and fewer weapon mounts), but allows the use of biotics and has some sort of stealth system. The Salarian design is meant to complement both their overwhelming wave tactics and their Special Operations focus. The armor is a bit lighter to improve mobility. Without having one to study or data on them in action you couldn't say much about their secondary systems.
If you want to form such a division that's a later section.
I'm not just going to roll a die that's silly. I'm going to take into account the surrounding factors (some of which maybe effected by dice rolls, such as what is she up to when the people in question find her) and then maybe roll a die or dice depending on those.
Subdue? No. Or well... it'd be an issue of not over killing the barriers while taking them down and trying to stun her (assuming you can't bypass them). Meanwhile she's teleporting* shredding barriers and the moment those drop gutting the poor bastard. Oh and there's the cat-thing. A legionary could kill her, but fighting to subdue could give her the time she needs to wear down it's defenses.
*As an added bonus this regenerates her barriers, because Charge is bullshit.
[X] Deploy to Anhur (Medium to Extreme Risk, Low Profit)
-[X] Deploy three quarters (75%) of ParSec's forces 252 Million/quarter.
-[X] Consider letting the Abolitionists hire Paragon Security on the terms of a loan to be paid off after the conflict concludes rather on a quarterly cash up front basis. It would of course end up somewhat more expensive for the Abolitionists at the end of it, but it'd also mean they have more cash on hand to acquire less... morally discerning mercenaries to support them along with ParSec, which would nicely increase the odds of mission success.
[X] War Games (No Risk, Negative Profit)
-[X] Deploy One Quarter (25%) of ParSec's forces 22 million lost.
-[X] Bored troops are bad news. Troops that are training with/against allied forces in preparation for enemy forces with similar equipment is good news. So let's keep them busy while they unwind from the situation on Anhur and any other, future deployments.
[X] We need to do this mission (Write-in)
-[X] We should most definitely have someone look into the biotic that's tearing apart Omega with our technology. Not sure what or who to send, might even need to ask for a favour from the SA or the Council, or even if the solution needs to be a military deployment, but she's certainly powerful enough to contemplate such support.
