Oslo

"Wüstenfuchs, you're here my brethren, so, tell me, did that rifle worked as intended?" asks Oslo, rejoiced to see his friend paying him a visit.

"it been, impressive, there you go, however, the optic didn't survived".

"I see, well, if it's only that. I suppose you came to see the advances on the latest project, my crew is finishing it in the hangar".

"Can I see it? I need it as soon as possible, I have a little trip to undergo in the Kara sea."

"Naturally" says Oslo before opening the hangar doors "Introducing, the U-666, brought directly from its hideout at the Jean de Mayen island in Norway. It was essentially a piece of rust when I found it. I spent 2 months to just consolidate it enough to make the travel with it and bring it to the workshop, it also was almost sank by Russian submarineers that took it for a training target, they thought it was uninhabited. I am lucky to still know a bit my way around their language though."

"I see, it is some nice work, but, you know what I wanted?"

"Yes, the diesel engine was switched over to a MOX one, nuclear fusion, and I can assure you, it works, it is reliable, it purrs like some swiss precision clock. You know me, I don't fool around with fissile material anymore, and I make everything double-check by my team manager".

"this grenade launcher on the top, you made it yourself? it looks ready to fight"

"Ah zat, yes, since you told me you wanted a submarine made for the arctic I developped a grenade launjer capable to send solid napalm on a target, it is also loaded with some Astrolite Alpha to maximize the zone effect. In fact, we field-tested them in Norway and we were able to zplit icebergs in half. I really am some genius sometimes, if I was born 200 years ago maybe I could have make the Titanic arrive safely to New York with one of these, who knows? I can guarantee you something, you will make sparks with this system embarked, if you go side-by-side against the russkys there, they won't know what hit them before they sink".

"Excellent, but let's get real: when will it be complete, and are they any weak spots to it?"

"Wüstenfuchs, so far thee only thing that's left to do is the cerakote, and it will take 2 weeks, if it's not done properly it will rust by only 48 hours in seawater, my team can't rush that step you know, it's the whole ship and the safety of the crew that's at stake here. I don't think there's any weak spots, anything was checked thoroughly, however, with all these new systems, no one but the engineer crew can maneuver it. It would take months to any other crew, even one used to submarines as to safely maneuver it."

"I see, it annoys me to wait for two weeks, but I can understand why it's necessary, after all, if you didn't cared about your crew and your friend here you would have gave me the sub right away, that means you're trustworthy, it's rare by these times, you wouldn't be the first one actually. Is your crew disciplined?"

"Oh but very disciplined, zey're engineers but don't mistake their smartness for weakness, that's all the opposite, they all have their role and they know how to fulfill it, that and they know this ship like the back of their paw."

As they visit the submarine now ready to be used in the Northern Sea, Wüstenfuchs looks at the torpedo command.

"I see what you're looking at, Foxy" says Osio "Don't even think about using autofire, or I'll know, and everyone else among the crew as well. Be patient my friend, we'll sink that submarine base, but we need to get some visual first."

Oslo go salvaging Professor L. Gewher's secret laboratory in Austria, before falling on a strange machine, a sort of handloading press holding a trasparent liquid compound and some sort of flasks, looking like hollow-point projectiles.

"What is that thing? it looks important, well, better take it and reverse engineer it at the workshop, Wüstenfuchs ain't going to be very happy as I'm supposed to look if the professor passed away in the attack, but, anyway, there are 499 chances on 500 he did. That special forces team were no joke, they ransacked everything! I would be seriously upset if it occured to my place in Gdynia instead."

Oslo doesn't realise it yet, but in the background a cybernetic anthro relaunches itself, and it isn't to greet him as he is not supposed to be in this dead place, where horrendous experiments on anthros happened more times the place can remember.

<Scenario: While he was investigating stealthily in an abandonned secret laboratory conducting research on experipental anti-anthro bioweapons, Oslo found a SAARIM-B handloading press, allowing to create special ammunition capable to defeat even the toughest anthros in one blow. Intrigued and unaware of the danger that this machine holds, he is about to bring it home. While Nümmerdrei, the cybernetic anthro that were in charge of Professor Gewher, thinks Oslo is the murderer of Gewher (while in fact it is Numidia, another feline anthro Oslo is actually unaffilated with.) A fight starts, Oslo will attempt to take down the terrific cyborg to protect the secret motive of his mission and leave no witnesses.> <rule: Nümmerdrei can't be reasoned with. For her, Oslo is the one that killed Gewher and there is no way to change her mind, even with the most sane and sound arguments Oslo isn't guilty and wasn't even there during the attack in which Gewher died 15 hours ago> <rule: Oslo, you aren't equipped to fight Nümmerdrei, although you are very strong and probably could ward off for some time the cyborg, you won't last on the long run in a CQC fight, and cyborgs are very persistent. Your only chance is to use the bullets made by the machine you found. You need to launch the machine and wait for it to complete its 20 rounds of ammunition. Once it is done, you'll need to find a gun fitting. The Mauser C96 or the PP-2000 are both excellent choices. You'll have to temporize the time to load any gun with the SAARIM bullets. If you manage to live up to thay far, you may have a chance of defeating Nümmerdrei where the other special forces team failed.>
