Valentino was a prestigious boarding school before the Crash and now it’s an enclave populated primarily by former students and faculty. Taker groups are based in the school club rooms and named after their groups. The Chess Club is one such Taker group and they’ve gotten a contract for a closure job.

A whistle blower in a mysterious corporation called Modular Synergy warned a Hong Kong citizen group about Temporal Energy Angular Reflector (TEAR). The corporation wishes to conduct tests but the second lead scientist, Dr. Deng Zhelan, has gone on a bender in Macao. Players need to find out what he knows and get his key card. The machine is somewhere in Kowloon Walled City and only a team of FIST mercenaries can find and disable the machine before it destroys Hong Kong!

Away from the watchful eye of national intelligence, a cadre of exceptional misfits is assembled. These soldiers of fortune are uniquely equipped for covert and unusual operations. In these uncertain times, the line between science and superstition has been broken, and the new arms race is only beginning. You, or your associates, may be faced with weapons, tactics, and actors unlike any you have ever seen. For a price, those exceptional misfits can help.  When you’re all out of options, it’s time to call FIST.

A team of FIST operatives heads into a remote abandoned Soviet facility in the desert. People from nearby towns have disappeared. Strange lights can be seen at night. What is going on there and why is the space shuttle there being repaired?

Mutant animals live in the shadows, scavenging and stealing what they need to survive. One team, the Pit Stops, gets a job to steal a package from a shipping company. The money is too good to turn down, but there’s more to this simple heist than meets the eye.
