Update on the weird armed guys
| More and more people are seeing them across GC, but the reports are very erratic. But they still didn't do anything *yet*. This is to be honest, a little bit unnerving to me. Not like the cultists type, but still. As always, stay safe, and stay alive, chummers. I'll keep you updated as my squad returns.
| Thanks for the update. Do you have a compilation of their findings? Maybe theres a pattern to where they're moving around. -CN
| This might be bad, I might have my guys watch out for them.

Sure. But they all end at the same way though. Completely vanishing into thin air, as if they're ghosts. Some of them stand guard around the city, however some to be definitely are on the move.
It looks like there's more of them around corp buildings. They seems to be most active around VitaLife-owned establishment... that is unconfirmed. That's just what my squad says.
| Emergency update: I've been trying to get into contact with the cameraman, but he seems to forgot that he filmed the footage at all, and so is my squad, who literally just got an encounter.
When I ask about what they did, they told me a completely different story, and they have NO recollections of any armored men. AT ALL. Fortunately, my sniper's footage survived. To be honest, it raises even more questions than it answer. But here it is.

>The video is being filmed with the POV of a sniper on the rooftop. The rifle is trained on one of the mysterious men. There's 3 of them.
>The one in the middle seems to be chatting with the one on the left, while the one on the right keeps watch. Our sniper pulls on the trigger, intends to wound one of them in order to track where their main hideout is.
>However, as the sniper shoots, the mysterious trio vanishes. Then the sound of a big crash...!
>The video cuts after.
| Thanks to that, my progress have been slowed down to a halt. Based on their movement patterns so far, they seems to be escorting *something* but... also searching? Man this is quite vexing. Can't have a counterattack if we don't know what they are up to.
| Weird, I can help scout out the area if there's an area of interest. Maybe also mount an assault later if we do find it.
-Impulse
| Hmm... do they have access to nanocamo? -CN
| >>642123
Would not recommend. Assaulting them is the last thing we need right now. They did not leave behind any traces either.
>>642169
Probably. This is probably what they are using, and no one was injured, gladly.
>>642133
I'll be careful. Taking every single measures to prevent that from happening.
| >>642182
That's good to hear.
>>642123
I agree with OP, if they didnt injure someone after they attacked them it means they're after something in particular. No point antagonizing them until we know what they doing. -CN
| >>642193
However, it doesn't exclude the fact that my men's knowledge was being tampered either by them or someone else entirely. I cannot explain what the big crash sound at the end of the footage either. My guess is that they're tryna keep us away from them or sumthing.
There's not really an area of interest anywhere... they appear *all* over GC, so you can say the whole city is their interest. Weirdly, they haven't attracted attention of GCPD nor the local corps.
| >>642207
Either that, or they wiped every single one of the corpo securities and GCPDs they come across.
-Impulse
| >>642307
I doubt that's the case if all they did was somehow mindwipe some runners after they shot at them. -CN
| Update: I think I have a rough idea of where they're heading now... It's not VitaLife... it's Glitz District! It seems like they're really confident enough to reveal themselves. The local gangs don't stand a chance against them.
| >>642473
Wait... why the hell are they headed to the Glitz district of all places? I mean I guess it's the seedbed of most things underground but... -CN
| >>642540
Idiot! I thought you were more perceptive than this. The old man is in, remember the routes?
| >>642556
...Routes? So they're selling something then. Given the weapons they're probably going to sell some then. -CN
| >>642540
I am as lost as you are. What's there to gain in Glitz? Glitz *really* hates corps, if they're planning to sell weapons... surely there's more profitable places. I can't wrap my head around this. For now I'll just let my men follow them. At least in Glitch, there's more distractions and stuff.
Stay safe. I have a feeling things are going to start unwrapping, very, very quickly.

| Ok chummers, remember about the weird men that I warned you about yesterday? Got some bad or good news, depend on you.
>ATTACHMENT: [Run-in]
>A video began with a person trailing the armored men. They seemed to chat about something, but suddenly stopped and turned around. Their masks cover their faces, but it's like they know. After a moment, they did a 180 and kept walking. The cameraman follows them at the distance, but as they turn left on a corner, they vanished into thin air.
