A Plague of Spiders: Mistaken Transfer

Originally published November 12, 2014

For the next 4 weeks, I'll be presenting a Hunter: the Vigil convention game I ran for DunDraCon 2014. Entitled Retrieval Team Zeta: A Plague of Spiders and using the new World of Darkness 2nd edition rules, it features a cell of Cheiron Group hunters as they engage in one of their first missions as a team. As might be expected casualties may be high. A full listing of available articles on this adventure can be found here.

Today I'll present a character who shouldn't be here, a janitor or other maintenance worker who because they shared a name with the real recruit found themselves in the team with a weird implant installed in their back.

Like all of the characters, I did not give him or her a name leave that and much of the character's physical description to the player. What has been decided is the background, skills and personality of the character.

Employee Number D030620055311

Background: You are not supposed to be here.

You are a maintenance worker and have been for 5 years. You used to working in the downtown office but when that shut down your job moved uptown. But a clerical error sent you to a different department. By the time anyone realized the mistake, they had done a routine physical, knocked you out and implanted an experimental "thing" inside you.

You tried to convince them to take it out but since they had already paid the physicians they decided to save costs and put you on the Retrieval Team. They are eager to see how "it" performs in the field. Hopefully "it" keeps you alive.

Sample Names: Hernando Rodriguez, Ed Green, Lakisha Santiago

Tactics: Net, System Shock
