Huh, I wish I came across this sooner as just came across this and thought of multiple different companies to reference. Mainly A-Sync, Aperture, Black Mesa, CTC Entertainment and Fazbear Entertainment. Mainly A-Sync though.
Clovis Bray is quite possibly the single most brilliant mind Destiny humanity has ever produced, directly responsible for like HALF of the golden ages tech. Including many technologies that made victory against the Witness possible, Rasputin, EXOs, transmat, etc.
He is also a narcissistic sociopath who made the Collapse worse, and directly responsible for the arrival of the Vex in Sol.
Ideally, we find a way to kill him before he heads for Europa to build the Vex portal, but AFTER the Warmind is up and running. Because we are going to NEED Rasputin later on.

Agreed. Been kind of saying for a while now that the trick is to watch him closely until he finds that statue and the yeet him and the statue into the sun.

We still kinda need the statue. Final Victory over the Final Shape involves a LOT of moving parts, and the first statue is part of the Guardians gaining Stasis.
Honestly, the biggest roadblock will be Rasputin himself. Getting anything past him will be HARD.
Would this stuff be something we would be able to find out in-character via industrial espionage since we would be his business rivals? I'm personally not really a fan of outright metagaming.

Braytech becomes the single most powerful corporate entity in all of Sol. Founding multiple offworld colonies on it's own dime. Creating many of the most potent technologies of the Golden Age, including the literal endpoint of all human warfare in the form of the Warmind(s) Rasputin.
Clovis Bray is the single biggest threat we have to worry about until the Collapse. Not just because he will open the door for the forces of Darkness, but because he is our biggest business rival.

================================================================= Hey guys.
So lucky one of my friends allowed to use his computer to write the above while we played and copy/pasted from OneDrive here while on the phone.
So here we make the MC.
Now, for those of you that noticed the city, no this is not a crossover with Buffy.
Chose the name mostly as an easter egg on the fact that according to the Terminator wiki, the original Cyberdyne factory from T1 was located in Sunnyvale, California.
The city is a normal city.
On the other hand, there is already a Hellmouth in on the Moon, and if we screw up; I guess it's only fair Earth has its own Hellmouth.
As for what you noticed above in regards to starter phase, this is basically a phase (after this one) before turn 1 where you can build up how the company's infrastructure with the starting resources, this also includes the mandatory contracts the company has to fulfill and the starting relationship the company has with the NAE and other companies.
Each factory level grants +1 Manufacturing Dice.
If you have any questions, just ask I will try my best to answer them.
Vote moratorium for at least 8 hours until I open the vote. So, discuss potential votes.

...To be honest, the name is someone from ASYNC from the Backrooms. Still stuck on wanting to reference The Backrooms so pretty much reason for the name and choosing Disappeared. Wasn't sure between Scientist or Investor but decided I liked investor better. Meanwhile as for the traveler I like both neutral and excited and not sure which to prefer.
Currently leaning to probably neutral but will see what others think.
Either way I very quickly did this.
Edit: I have decided to resolve my indecision by instead making two plans choosing one of the opinions.
[] Plan: Keep It Simple and Clean

Honestly, I'm torn between having him as a Scientist or the Head of Security. As HoS, I'd probably mention that the man had absorbed surface-level knowledge on the whole tech thing that Skynet has. As a Scientist, he's probably quite intimate with the whole R&D of Skynet, though I'm worried for Security.

3 plans. Brett is from a show called inside jobs from Netflix. GLADOS and Wheatley are both from portal. These are the three that seem interesting to me. I'm willing to change the OP if that is an issue.

One thing in regard to this is that if 'accident' wins, there will a roll to see if the 'accident' was caused by us or someone else.
If it was someone else, there will a second roll to see IC if our MC realizes that the 'accident' was not really one but murder.
If this wins, I am leaning toward this John looking like his adult version from T2 (Michael Edwards) who looks the part of being a former spec ops. That and I recently saw the fan film he participated in and liked it, better than the last movies.
