after this next post its going to be a bit free form so i can see all your writing styles Jaysyn Larrisen where possible avoid "god rping" which is your character is so uber awesome nothing challenges him like a few others noted your on the borderline but what you put is within the relm of possibility
Apologize if it came across like that. Not intended as "uber" more like how we assess stress situations somewhat subconsciously based on experience and training. You might be surprised how ths works in RL.
That said, no problem - will adjust things accordingly!

So we have a pool of 80 clones for everyone or is it 80 per merc? Oh and should we write what our fittings include? |

Good question...my assumption was an 80 clone pool for the team but that poses interesting questions on how you pop out of the CRU with your fit dialed in.
From a practical stand point i assumed you "pre-loaded" x amount of your own clones with your preferred load out in the CRU. That doesn't quite jive with how resupply points let you swap whole outfits so it might all be chalked up to automagical nanites.

How'd you get info on the blood raiders in the last 90 days....when all you have done is enter the meeting site since learning about the contract.
Also I will be heading home soon and putting together a general Blood raider ground troop doctrine that I will clear with Stead and Dagger two to make sure its in keeping with lore.
Generally speaking though the Bloodraiders are primary armour tankers like their Amarrian cousins and like them primarily make use of laser tech as well. However unlike the Amarr they are debased and corrupt with no sense of a merciful God. While the Amarr like to neutralise energy ship energy, the Blood Raiders prefer to drain it and use it to power their own vessels like vampires.
Since they are Raiders they do not favour direct combat, so from this we can assume their ground forces are slightly less armoured than Amarrian counterparts, and as such more mobile, and aggressive in their actions. They frequently board ships and in order to take captives, and will go to great lengths to extract fresh sources of blood from their victims, either taking it directly from the source. Thus they will likely make use of CQC weapons from Amarrian Shock whips to incapacitating weapons.
They also believe Clone blood is more pure and sacred than human blood. As such they will at every opportunity possible attempt to capture us alive.
I will be doing a full report/ briefing if Steady clears me to do it, and Dagger two accepts the combat doctrine. As Kador hates they, and has fought with them several time before he does have a great deal of experience dealing with Amarrian heretics.
Also if we are considering how we find the Raiders its best we approach the SoE and request information on them on behalf of CONCORD about their relief efforts. The raiders are known to follow them, and call them "Little Hunters" as they often unknowingly lead the Blood Raiders to their prey.

You don't want to know half of the kind of **** these people do to their victims.
Much of the lore links are lost to me, but I'll research tonight.
Some Raiders prefer to take captives back to their ships to process them, resulting in the Blood Pens, filthy, dim, dark, and dank. blood stained cargo holds where slaves are kept in maximum proximity to one another like cattle. Where the youngest girls and boys are taken to be Blooded, Desanguinated, and tormented in barbaric rituals. Where to save space the Raiders cut the limbs off the larger slaves and tied them into machines which drain blood that leaves enough for the being to remain in a constant state of weakness and pain, until they eventually rot away to nothing.
And those are just the humans. We are Cloned soldiers, they already place a special significant on our blood, but we are designed to heal quickly, be durable, and for our bodies not to die. If you are separated from TAC NET and CRU support, and such Neural Jamming is likely possible....you could end up as the Raiders new pet for the rest of your immortality......
That's not just it. They don't just target ships but also regions beset by natural disasters who are being aided by the Sisters of Eve....people who are already suffering.....
They are Evil!

Check my last post; I'm phoning a friend as they say. Most mercenary or security related entities will keep a running data pull on significant threat streams they may be contending with at some point. Most of it will likely be open source and in our case probably could have some behind the scenes intel depending on how good your contacts are.
Basically, my contact (Juko) doing a quick raw data pull ...imagine meta search capabilities at their tech level and you can quickly pull and sort info. Essentially the idea is to have an option if we want to inject any flavor posts on the specific Blood Raiders we'll be dealing with at some point.
I actually like your idea a bit better and it fits well with the close in tactical feel of the story. Ultimately all a macro search would indicate is general tips or cues to major Raider activity trends and if there are any major personality players involved and I assume there probably aren't.
I'll take cues from you and Steady on this.

yup. Heathen has done basic reading on them, but not extensive(Basically saw them on the news, did a bit of light reading between battles.). They're evil, even by amarr standards, which is saying something.

Nice summary.
Yeah we also have to consider Amarrian information on the subject, equally I would have access to Imperial and Praetorian eyes in Devoid and Bleak lands.....
But what makes this even more important to gather all this information on is Omir Sarikusa established as the primary leader of the Blood raider covenants......the man is a monster, but not a brute, and he is cunning beyond anything we could possibly imagine.
He likely knows people are looking for Bloodraider hide outs constantly...... If we drop into Dead Space..... or any other planet for that matter with a Raider presence we are playing on their terms, not ours....as Raiders only every really do hit and run missions.......
But that arrogance/ forwardness/ confidence serves to reinforce your character personality and that is appreciated.

They are needlessly cruel to the weak, which is evil in these eyes. For comparison purposes: the Amarr are jerks, I don't like them, but they're not entirely intolerable. The blood raiders are torturers/murderers of children. The universe would be better with them removed.
There might be some kind of rage-snap in the works here at some point in the story.
and yes, my feelings toward the amarr have softened a bit. What can I say that whole protective nature you have with Satja swayed me from thinking you're all bad.
EDIT: Hey! I wasn't that mean to my tech, I was just dismissive of their concern for my safety.

Am I cool to share some Blood Raider Hunting tips or are you keen on doing that Steady? I'd prefer to check with Dagger Two first just to make sure we have the Blood Raider style nailed down.

I'd prefer to check with Dagger Two first just to make sure we have the Blood Raider style nailed down. If my opinion weighs anything, I'd say your assumptions about the Blood Raiders are correct. The only Blood Raider vessels in EVE Online all focus on capacitor vampires(taking your target's energy and adding to yours) and stasis webifiers(slowing down target ships), and the EVElopedia articles suggest at them being highly aggressive in combat.
They obviously want subjects to be alive, if barely, so they can extract blood for their rituals, so they'd use tranquilizing weapons for capturing, although they would obviously use lethal weapons on armored opponents like dusters and podders. Clone blood is especially valuable for the Blood Raiders, so they would take extra effort in capturing them alive, thus making them even more aggressive. Offing yourself and waking up in a new body in case of being captured by the Blood Raiders seems like the way to go, as they are going to use whatever means necessary to keep you alive. Suicide bombing tactics could also work.

Not to strike out on a limb but if CONCORD tech can hold the neural maps we use to clone our personalities with....is it not equally possible at a certain kind of ECM jamming could be employed to prevent clone consciousness exchanges?
I know the Blood Raiders don't specialise in ECM.
But Omir Sarikusa is a craft bastard. Something like this would be of insane use to Raiders, now given that the clone soldier tech is all over of the cluster.

Concord has specail access to communicate networks that control how we move around templar 6 is still in storage if u read templar. in order to capture a mind u would need to hack the galaxy communtion network that is controlled by concord. Only the amarr pulled off a clone reroot with the empress and thats only because it was cloning noone knew about.
However if u used a darknet to move about and it got hacked your fair game.
Uplinks and CRUs i imagen use very simple permission systems and when u hack a CRU you are simply rewritting who can access it
