====== The Couch Potatoes ======

So we know that there are quite a few organizations that are developing modified humans. We know one of them is [[SlimGene]], recently pivoted into SecuGene and purchased by [[Slade Industries]].

We also know that Slade Industries are scraping the Internets and munging it into an experimental A.I. jokingly referred to as [[Burala|Wintermute]], which seems to be taking a great interest in modified humans of all sorts.

Most of these modifieds, if not all, were given a residual "poison" that makes them spontaneously combust unless they are given the top secret [[Sinequanon]] compound (by their seemingly separate handlers). Unfortunately, this compound gets stored in the liver, which leaves a nice loophole for the cannibalistically inclined.


===== The Game =====

Recently, under Wintermute's guidance, five groups (probably all trios) of modifieds & friends that went off the grid are goaded into a deadly game.

  * Colorado - The Couch Potatoes (PCs)
    * [[Fat Dante]]
    * [[Zik]]
    * [[M.J.]]
  * Nevada
    * [[Richard the Lizard]] - out of the closet
    * Tom - killed by Jeff
    * [[Garrett]] - Kidnapped by Apollo, possibly eaten
  * Oregon - The Twisted Trio
    * [[Jeff (Papa Bear)]]
    * [[Goth]] - submitted to Dante
    * [[Black Apollo]] - subdued by M.J.
  * Arkansas - Southern Comfort
    * [[Bubba]]
    * [[Abigail]]
    * [[Bethany]]
  * New York - The Transgressors
    * [[Transgender Thing]]
    * [[Slade|Cunt]]

  * Others
    * [[Wintermute]]
    * The [[Blind Watchmaker]]
    * The [[Murder]]
    * [[Ilay Thork]]

  * [[Thork Pharma]]
  * [[Night Watch]] - roots in cyber security/haxxing, a think-tank behind MUTAF and a front for the [[Blind Watchmaker]].
  * [[Oakenshield]] - next gen VC
  * [[Khan Genomics]] - Mongolian/Chinese, specializing in Intelligence Augmentation (IA).
  * [[Isengard]] - They're taking the hobbits, using Robotic Orcs and Wargs and other walking autonomous drones.
  * [[Faceless]] - an Antisocial network that will make you disappear.
==== Files should mention ====
