RUNNERS' GUIDE v.1.001.01.tciv
VANDAL SHELL
===================================================================
SHELL MODEL: VANDAL
ROLE: Combat Anarchist
TECH: Enhanced Mobility
OVERVIEW: Movement matters. Can you get in and get out, quick? Can you disrupt, annoy, distract, avoid? In a VANDAL SHELL? Yes to all the above. These troublemakers are off-market, kit-bashed proprietarily RUNNER-centric tools of chaos. Everything about them, from AMPLIFIED movement systems to the DISRUPT CANNON hidden in the forearm, voids the warranties of the underlying tech. This is illicit running made fashionable—pick a fight, grab the loot, make your escape, and look good doing it.
ABILITIES / TRAITS:
• DISRUPT CANNON
• AMPLIFY
• MICROJETS
• POWER SLIDE
HISTORY: As the name may indicate, the VANDAL SHELL started with MIDA. Someone took a stolen truckload of baseline SHELLS, went to work on them in their lab, bent the limits of their agility, and added MICROJETS to the lower limbs and a goddamn CANNON to the forearm—then dressed in the coolest streetwear this side of Palace Mons, recruited some friends and made the newsfeeds with a daylight attack on a UESC weapons caravan. Headline was: A Dozen Lunatics Bumrush UESC Mobile Armory. Apparently, MIDA recruitment went up 7500% the week after.
COMMON SHELL SERIES: The GLITCH series was initially used as a standard by MIDA operatives who popularized the VANDAL SHELL during insurrectionist operations on Mars. The face/vocalization pattern pairing created a uniform base identity that when used across multiple VANDAL SHELLS made it difficult for UESC and local law enforcement to identify/track the individual RUNNERS participating in illicit activities. Further, the general streetwear fashion that became a trademark of GLITCH'S various styles became a trend amongst Martian youth, adding additional complexity to any anti-RUNNER enforcement efforts—it's easier to disappear when an entire subculture rises up around your aesthetics.
