SCCV Horizon Mission Briefing - Humanitarian Program

[RustingWithYou]

SCCV Horizon Operational Briefing - Kazseres

Good afternoon, SCCV Horizon. Following the inspection of your vessel by humanitarian program agents, a destination for your first mission in the Hegemony has been selected.

The town of Kazseres, located in the southern Tza Prairie region, has been harshly impacted by post-Contact War conditions, including radiation exposure, infrastructural degradation, and food shortages. The SCCV Horizon's crew will be deployed alongside Nralakk Federation humanitarian personnel to provide aid to the people of Kazseres. Attached is a map of the Tza Prairie, with the location of Kazseres labeled for your convenience.

Kazseres is located on a major river in the region, and the Kazseres Hydroelectric Dam was a major power source for several smaller villages in the surrounding area. Since the opening of several fusion plants in the greater Tza region by the Junzi Electric guild (now a Hephaestus Industries subsidiary corporation), the dam has reportedly fallen into disrepair, leading to a steady decline in water levels in the artificial Lake Kazeres which the town has historically relied on as a food source. Kazseres is also located close to a large mining complex which was acquired by the Miners' Guild towards the end of the Contact War. The mine has become the town's primary industry due to the failure of the dam, but transportation of resources upriver has become increasingly difficult due to harsh conditions in the region and risk of attack from Wasteland bandit groups. 

Nralakk Federation personnel have already been providing assistance to communities in the area, and will be able to provide a more up-to-date report on the situation upon your arrival. Due to the potential for rapidly changing conditions on the ground, crew should prioritize making contact with the Nralakk team and local authorities in order to best ascertain how to provide aid to the town as the mission develops. Enclosed are general notes of departmental responsibilities, intended to be fluid and allow for adjustment to planetside circumstances by Horizon command.

 

• Command personnel will be responsible for management and deployment of humanitarian aid in the Kazseres region, as well as liaising with the Nralakk Federation team and local authorities. Ensure that the staff under your command uphold SCC employee behavioral standards, and remember that your actions reflect on the reputation of the Conglomerate. 
• Security personnel will be responsible for safeguarding the operation and crew against potential danger or disruption of mission objectives. Keep in mind that you are subject to local and Hegemony law, in addition to ordinary employee standards of behavior as described in SCC corporate regulations. Should crewmembers prove disruptive to mission operations, their behavior should be handled as any on-ship breach of regulations. Cooperate with local law enforcement in any matters of criminal activity which should occur during the mission.
• Medical personnel will be tasked with ordinary duties of maintaining crew wellbeing, in addition to providing medical aid to Kazseres locals who may require it. Medical facilities in the town will be made available for your use.
• Engineering personnel will be tasked with examining local infrastructure and making necessary repairs if feasible. Liaise with locals to determine where critical repairs may be required.
• Research personnel will be tasked with survey and analysis of the local environment in order to determine the level of ecological damage caused to the region. 
• Operations personnel will carry out standard duties of ensuring that the crew is fully supplied in order to carry out their mission. Machinist personnel should cooperate with Medical and Engineering staff to ensure Horizon synthetics are able to operate in the field.
• Service personnel will be tasked with deployment of food aid to the local population if required, in addition to managing crew food and beverage supplies during the mission to Kazseres. Cooperation with Operations staff may be required, as well as the use of any suitable facilities in Kazseres.

 

This briefing will be updated with future relevant information. Thank you for your involvement, and remember - you're what keeps this chainlink unbreakable!

SCCV Horizon Operational Briefing - Izilukh

Good afternoon, SCCV Horizon. Following your successes in Kazseres, a location has been selected for your next major mission on Moghes.

The town of Izilukh, located in the northern Zazalai Mountains, has been harshly impacted by the Contact War and the presence of the Wasteland. Prior to the nuclear exchange, Izilukh's primary source of income came from rich uranium mines in the area, as well as the economic benefit of nearby Izweski Hegemony military bases. Most of these bases have been closed following the war's conclusion and the Hegemony's nuclear disarmament program. Due to its proximity to the Wasteland, Iziluh has suffered extensively since the war - sandstorms, radiation, famine and bandit activity have all reportedly threatened the region according to currently available data. Attached is a map of the region, with Izilukh's location labeled for your convenience.

Izilukh's location is projected to be highly useful to future resettlement and reclamation efforts, in addition to its proximity to a sizable subterranean aquifer - the source of the town's water supply, and a large contributing factor to its continued survival. The objective of this mission is to assist the town's inhabitants and ensure Izilukh can survive until further reclamation efforts can commence in the region. Due to the potential risk of bandit activity, Lord Juyzi Izaku of Mudki has dispatched an escort to provide additional protection for the mission in addition to the Horizon's security personnel.

A Nralakk Federation team has established a base of operations close to Izilukh for continued monitoring of the region and assistance of the locals. Make contact with the Federation personnel and cooperate with them, as they will likely have further information on the current requirements of the town.

Enclosed are general notes of departmental responsibilities, intended to be fluid and allow for adjustment to planetside circumstances by Horizon command.

• Command personnel will be responsible for the management and deployment of crew operations in Izilukh, as well as coordinating efforts with the Nralakk Federation team and the local population. Ensure that the staff under your command uphold SCC employee behavioral standards, and remember that your actions reflect on the reputation of the Conglomerate.
• Security personnel will be responsible for safeguarding the operation and crew against potential danger or disruption of mission objectives. Though an escort has been arranged, your responsibilities remain largely the same as during day-to-day operations.
• Medical personnel will, as normal, be tasked with ensuring crew wellbeing. Additionally, you may be required to provide medical aid to the local population, should they require it. Izilukh reportedly has a small medical clinic, and the Nralakk Federation team has set up their own field hospital in their base of operations.
• Engineering personnel will be tasked with infrastructural maintenance and any necessary repairs. Liaise with locals to determine where your efforts may be required.
• Research personnel will be tasked with survey and analysis of the local environment. The Federation staff have made some headway in this area already. Zeng-Hu Environmental Analysis terminals and associated scanners will be present for your use.
• Operations personnel will carry out standard duties of ensuring that the crew is fully supplied in order to carry out their mission. Machinist personnel should cooperate with Medical and Engineering staff to ensure Horizon synthetics are able to operate in the field.
• Service personnel will be tasked with deployment of food aid to the local population if required, in addition to managing crew food and beverage supplies during the mission to Izilukh. Cooperation with Operations staff may be required, as well as the use of any suitable facilities on-site.

This briefing will be updated with further relevant information. Thank you for your participation, and remember - you're what keeps this chainlink unbreakable!

SCCV Horizon Operational Briefing - Mudki

Good afternoon, SCCV Horizon. Following the Izweski Hegemony's victory over the rebel forces led by former Lord Juyzi Izaku, the city of Mudki has been placed under military occupation. Humanitarian program representatives from Hephaestus Industries and the Nralakk Federation have already landed in the city, and are working to provide immediate relief to the civilian population in the aftermath of the battle. Preliminary reports indicate that decades of neglect and mismanagement from Lord Izaku have led to severe infrastructural decay, in addition to the more recent damage caused by the fightting between Izweski and rebel forces.

Mudki is located in the northern Zazalai Mountains - at one point a vital military asset against potential invasion from the east. Since the Contact War, Mudki has fallen into disrepair due to misrule, neglect, and the dangers of the nearby Wasteland. Though it is in a dire situation, Mudki is the largest city in the northern Zazalais, and could be an instrumental point for future restoration efforts in the region. This is a large-scale endeavor for the humanitarian program, and many teams from the Hegemony, the Federation, and Hephaestus are currently working to aid the people of the city.

The Horizon has been tasked with assisting in the southeastern part of the city, near the outer wall. City plans indicate that the area is home to a power plant, water treatment facility and a small hospital, all of which will likely require some level of maintenance and repair to restore to working condition. It is unknown if any former or current employees of these facilities still reside in the area, as available census data is significantly out of date.

Izweski military forces are on the ground, working to maintain order in the city. The troops in Mudki have been instructed to assist humanitarian efforts where required, and you should cooperate with any requests that they may have of you. If you encounter any signs of remaining Izaku loyalists or other potentially dangerous activity, report it to the Hegemony forces as soon as possible. Reportedly, the risk of hostile action is minimal, but as always care and vigilance are encouraged.

Enclosed are general notes of departmental responsibilities, intended to be fluid and allow for adjustment to planetside circumstances by Horizon command.

• Command personnel will be responsible for the management and deployment of crew operations in Mudki, as well as coordinating efforts with the Nralakk Federation team, the Hegemony occupation force, and the local population. Ensure that the staff under your command uphold SCC employee behavioral standards, and remember that your actions reflect on the reputation of the Conglomerate.
• Security personnel will be responsible for safeguarding the operation and crew against potential danger or disruption of mission objectives. Cooperate with the Hegemony forces if hostile action occurs, and ensure that corporate regulations continue to be followed during the operation.
• Medical personnel will, as normal, be tasked with ensuring crew wellbeing. Additionally, you may be required to provide medical aid to the local population or the Hegemony troops, should they require it. The district of Mudki that Horizon operations have been scheduled for reportedly contained a small hospital at one point, but its current status is unknown.
• Engineering personnel will be tasked with infrastructural maintenance and any necessary repairs to the district's power, water, or other vital utilities. Specific requirements and damage is uncertain at this time, and will need to be determined on-site.
• Research personnel will be tasked with survey and analysis of the local environment as in prior missions. Zeng-Hu Environmental Analysis terminals and associated scanners will be present for your use, along with other environmental survey equipment required.
• Operations personnel will carry out standard duties of ensuring that the crew is fully supplied in order to carry out their mission through standard supply drone operations. Machinist personnel should cooperate with Medical and Engineering staff to ensure Horizon synthetics are able to operate in the field.
• Service personnel will be tasked with deployment of food aid to the local population if required, in addition to managing crew food and beverage supplies during the mission to Mudki. Cooperation with Operations staff may be required, as well as the use of any suitable facilities on-site. Available census data indicates that there were at on point several hospitality businesses in the area, and any which are in servicable condition may be of use for this part of the mission.

This briefing will be updated with further relevant information. Thank you for your participation, and remember - you're what keeps this chainlink unbreakable!
