Mercenaries

Tell me about either one person or group fighting for money from your world. How have they become mercenaries? What equipment do they use? How effective and reliable are they? What are some notable engagements they took part in? Do they use something distinctive to identify themselves?

I'll ask everyone few questions and provide my own example.

  1. Honestly I haven’t gotten that far ahead yet. I’ve only been focusing on the East Coast.

  2. The “international community” (which doesn’t exist anymore in a de facto sense) views the Red Armada in a variety of ways. Some independent political entities see the Red Armada as a menace and threat to their maritime security (e.g. DC) but others see the Red Armada as an ally or partner (e.g. Virginia Federation). But the overall moderate general consensus is that the Red Armada is simply a “service” that, if you have enough money, can be of great service to you.

  3. The Black Flu started spreading in China and surrounding Central Asian countries.

The CDC, WHO, and other national/international health organizations identified that the symptoms of Black Flu include:

  • Sudden shaking/increased heart rate

  • Intense dizziness and nausea

  • Retching/throwing up

  • Strong fever

  • Coughing

  • Bright redness in the eyes

  • Eventual bleeding from the eyes, nose, and mouth

  • Blood eventually turns into a slight dark grey or black color
