Vulnerability And Lethality Key Reconnaissance Integration Expedient

Developed to bring battlefield control and superiority to the Cassian Military, the VALKyRIE systems have evolved over the past two decades to make passable soldiers into competent warriors and turn the current leadership into an awe-inspiring finely tuned machine.

VALKyRIE systems make use of all available resources within their grasp to make their soldiers as capable and well informed as possible. They use IR and UV filters to augment their vision while audio sensors will inform them of sounds outside their range of hearing. The software suites and AIs built into these devices will tag various environmental factors including topography, thermal imaging, and motion.

Mission Imperative Material Intromittent Register

These devices are custom build, mission specific servers for the VALKyRIE devices used by the Terra Prima military. While their hardware layouts are set the their mission parameters, they house somewhere between Petabytes and Exabytes of information and will record incoming information from the various VALKyRIEs linked to them. They have a broadcast range measured in some number of kilometers. The weakest of these devices can broadcast some 20km in clear terrain and they generally won’t exceed 70 km (though they have in the past been connected to their VALKyRIEs via satellite).

Isaacsohn’s VALKyRIE

They have been together for over a decade at this point. She’s picked up a bit of his sarcasm and tends to give as good as she gets. The two have been working as a team long enough that he hardly as to ask for information before she’s pulling it out of storage.

Currently she’s equipped with several informational and educational suites to assist in his position as an instructor on the Plains of Cassus and he new position on Nova Ark.

Current Suites (Masterwork Aides):
Application of Technology in Tactical Situations (+2 Knowledge: Tech)
Analyzing and Applying “The Art of War” in a Modern Theatre (+2 Knowledge: Tactics)
Terrain and Structural Analysis (+2 Perception)
Educational Science (+2 Knowledge: Science)

Robert had always had always dreamed of serving in the corps. There was a tradition of military life in his family. His father and his father and his father before him had all been servicemen on the line. Heck, his mother and father had met in the service. Robert spent years looking forward to the day he could sign on.

On his 18th birthday he walked into the recruiting office, a short while afterwards he walked out carrying his orders. He’d been inside several times before, working with the recruiters on just what he was in for. Training went as he’d expected, as his father had prepared him for.

Six years into his tour of duty, Staff Sergeant Isaacsohn was on a detail escorting a Vex Diplomat. Until this point it hadn’t seemed like humans and Vex could share much, biologically. Robert proved this theory wrong. The diplomat was carrying the Vex equivalent of a cold. It was a minor irritation for him. He didn’t even think of mentioning it when he was approaching Terra Prima.

For Sergeant Isaacsohn it meant the world. It cost him an arm and a leg. The virus reacted to human tissue far differently than it did to the Vex. His body began rejecting its own parts. He’d lost his left arm, right leg and half of his liver before they eventually put him into stasis while they researched how to save him. He spent four years out of the loop before he was woken up.

The virus was purged from his system, but it’s effect could not be repaired. His body continued to reject replacement parts. It refused to even recognize that it needed a second arm or leg. Artificial parts were accepted as well as ever, but vat grown tissue was fully rejected.

Isaacsohn was moved to a training battalion in the Plains of Cassus. He excelled as a trainer, but his heart was broken. He’d enjoyed what he did. He’d enjoyed the feeling of being on the front line. His aim hadn’t suffered. He was still fully aware of how to fight and win a battle. He was just shy a few limbs.

When the call for a training officer on Nova Ark Isaacsohn jumped at the chance. He was ready for a change and this was about as extreme a change as he could find.

At this point, I’m seeing the Gunny develop into something like an Infiltrator from Bioware’s Mass Effect. He’ll have the ability to really “reach out and touch someone.” Just, y’know, with a bullet. He’ll wind up with a rifle and hopefully be carrying around his own spotter.

I’d love to see her develop into something like a familiar or an animal companion (or a psicrystal). I’m seeing her as, at some point, resembling a Mag from the Phantasy Star series.
