When Blood Beret Sergeant Michael McBride was seconded to the Cartel his squad was disbanded. In
time all surviving members would follow him to also join the Doomtroopers, but until then their lives
were to diverge significantly. Farraday, for example would go on to lead his own squad, whereas Angela
Rist was sent to Mercury in an ambassadorial role for her father. Hawkes applied his medical training
on Mount Cassino, Mars; for Alfreds though, something much more unforeseen. Alfreds went off the
radar, deep undercover. The Blood Berets had been toying with new tactics, namely to put out a one
man scouting mission to prepare the battlefield. In theory the tactics should drastically improve contact
outcome, but at a significantly higher risk for the scout. When he heard his superiors were looking for
volunteers Alfreds had only one question: ‘Where do I sign?’.
Six hours later Alfreds was dropped deep in the Venusian Jungle a hundred miles from his target: an
archipelago that the Imperial Corporation saw as strategically critical for procuring a stronghold in the
no-man’s-land between Mishima and Bauhaus interests. Six months later the commanders of the
two established megacorporations were hauled in front of their superiors to explain how the Imperial
Corporation could so easily establish a stronghold in their region; neither could answer, both found
themselves under court martial. Alfreds was personally commended and quickly redeployed. At this
point his mission is still Top Secret, but one can be assured that somewhere, another high-flying officer
would soon be seeing their illustrious career cut short; as Alfreds will often say ‘I’ll drink to that!’.

Footprint contact with for 1 Action Point. For another Action

the Burning Star Incendiary Gel. The target receives
an AVV10 Plasma autohit with Critical Damage (3).
