Syndicate Clone Operatives

The Syndicate Organisation is a terror-inspiring cabal dedicated to the downfall of Nanotrasen, in its path to this agenda; it requires vast amounts of manpower, money and resources. Some members of the syndicate work there way around at least one of these problems by using stolen genetic copies of NanoTrasen personnel as their foot soldiers.

Syndicate agents will often steal genetic records, in vast numbers, from databases and archives. These records are used to create the Syndicate Operatives. Full body clones taken from the records are placed on experimental chemicals to accelerate aging, up until the age of five, this takes around six months. During this time, memory implants and drugs are used to imbed skills into the children.

At the age of five, begins the reaping process. The children are placed in a large cell, often up to one hundred in a single cell. The children are given enough food for fifty. Along with their training, this leads to brawls and fights over the sparse food. The strongest children win, leaving the weakest to starve to death. It is not uncommon for children to outright die in these brawls; their handlers will often slip weapons and other items to their favourites to give them an edge. This continues until there are only fifty children left, this generally takes between three and four weeks. Bodies are removed daily, along with those too injured to fight. These ones are either put down, or moved into non-combat roles, such as EVA Specialist, or Medical Specialist.

Once there are only fifty children left, they are taken out of the cell, and placed in simulators, force-feeding them memories and mental training; several of each batch are selected as leaders, and given a more independent training process. During this time, they are again given experimental chemicals, stronger doses cause massive growth spurts, they reach sixteen if another six months. Though a good percentage die from internal damage, the rest are indoctrinated fighters, ready to die for the Syndicate.

The ones taken out for non-combat roles are taught differently, given a lower priority. They are not as highly indoctrinated as the others, allowing them to make more independent decisions, similar to the leaders selected during the reaping process. Such specialists are often crippled in some way, due to the reaping process, and are given low importance tasks, such as cleaning, or keeping the other Operatives amused when not on missions.


The operative cloning procedure was pioneered by an unnknown Professor. The Trinity Project led to the creation of five operatives, Whisper, Shuriken, Armoury Closet, Scythe and Ghost. They were formed with embryonic force-cloned bodies, which were then stimulated with Trinity enzyme to influence massive, but stable growth.
The operatives were tattooed on the inside of their lower lip, with a designation, ranging from T-001 to T-005.
