By: Wolf Queen
“Ooh! I’ve been looking forward to this part!”
• Kane
“How are you still alive?”
• Bull
-sings- “Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!”
• Wolf Queen
“I think I’m in love.”
• Kane
“In all seriousness, however, it would seem that Aztechnology managed to send out a shipment of the serum before my escape. It would also seem that Kane managed to get his hands on that shipment. I am surprisingly thankful for that. He is rude, crude, and socially unacceptable, but he hates Aztech and Aztlan just as much as I do, if not more so. He has proven to be an incredibly valuable asset, even if we did meet under less preferable circumstances.”
• Wolf Queen
The Schattenwache (English: Shadow Guard) is Altarraum’s primary security force. It is separate from the military, and run entirely by the government. The Schattenwache is divided into three distinct groups, each serving a different purpose.
Grenzwache: The Grenzwache (English: Border Guard) is Altarraum’s border security division. Their light and flexible armor’s base color is a dark green, but is usually equipped with a ruthenium polymer coating that makes them nearly impossible to see at all. Most of Altarraum’s border is wilderness, and so they are equipped to deal with the harsh, awakened environment. Their primary advantage is stealth, and they are trained to deal with illegal border crossings and would-be invaders (as well as local paracritters). They are equipped with high grade bows and net guns, and each member of the Grenzwache has their own patrol dog. The dogs are highly trained and respond only to their master’s commands. Most of Altarraum’s terrain is simply too rough for off-road vehicular travel, so the Grenzwache ride specially bred war horses during their patrols.
“It boggles my mind how these guys can just fragging vanish. He was there one second, then I blinked and he was gone. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in a jail cell, with Wolf Queen giving me the raised eyebrow of disapproval.”
• Jazz
“That was a warning. I said it to you then, and I will say it here. If you are ever caught smuggling BTLs into my kingdom, your beard will grow long enough to skip rope with before you see the light of day again.”
• Wolf Queen
“On the subject of the horses: These things are strong, fast, agile, and incredibly surefooted. They’re also equipped with special horseshoes that allow them to maintain their footing on nearly any terrain. Wolf Queen has one of her own named Bucephalus.”

They all swear an oath to protect and serve the people. There are several divisions within the Zentralewache, as with any other police force. There is the Investigative division, which investigates all manner of crime within the kingdom. The Peacekeeper division does precisely what the name implies; they keep the peace. They are the ones trained in nonlethal combat and de-escalation techniques. However, if you insist on playing dirty, you get the big dogs. The Crisis Response division is trained to bring the hate, and bring it quickly. They hit first, hit hard, and hit last.

Spare Clip (Ares Predator V) x2Thronwache: The Thronwache (English: Throne Guard) are my personal guards. For obvious reasons, they are the best trained and best equipped group. They guard not only myself, but my son as well. They are identifiable by their characteristic crimson red mil-spec heavy armor, which is molded to look like medieval knight armor. The ceremonial version is virtually the same, but has gold accents. They are trained to fight with most types of weaponry, but usually carry claymores or halberds, as well as an assault rifle, and a machine pistol sidearm. Allow me to make something clear: If you are fighting the Thronwache,
you have fucked up.
“These guys are a terrifying force to behold. What Wolf Queen left out is that the six Thronwache closest to her are all trolls who all have wired reflexes and two full synthetic legs. Those legs are equipped with hydraulic jacks. Take it from someone who learned the hard way: If you think you’re too far away for the Thronwache to reach you, you’re wrong. Bastard sank my boat!”
• Kane
“I won’t lie, I was laughing pretty hard while watching that all go down. Then he dragged your soggy, limp form aboard my ship.”
• Wolf Queen
“What happened next?”
• /dev/grrl
“After we got him to cough up the seawater and healed his injuries, we talked, laughed, drank rum, and played poker.”
• Wolf Queen
“You’re kidding…”
• Netcat
“Nope. He made a goodly bit of Nuyen off of me and walked…err…sailed away with a shiny new Corsair Panther. We’ve been allies ever since. He’s an utter lunatic, but a brilliant strategist and all around genius. It’s been a long time since I’ve played against someone who can beat me fair and square while also discussing the complexities of intercorporate and international intrigue.”
• Wolf Queen
“I honestly didn’t want to leave that ship. She keeps the Heart of Gold floating in international waters just outside of Aztlan territory (which is how I ran into her), and it is a goddamn destroyer. The upper decks are pure luxury, but the lower decks are geared for all out combat. Shielded engines, solar charged backup power banks, concealed laser turrets, a missile defense system, heavily armed and armored drones of every kind, and enough space to carry an entire strike force and the necessary watercraft to get them ashore. It’s like she’s daring Aztlan and the Big A to come get her, and I love it.
• Kane
“I’m still trying to process the fact that you nearly killed Kane. Every megacorp and almost every nation on Earth has been trying to take him out for decades, and you nearly killed him…with a giant armored jumping troll.”
• Bull
“It’s certainly a way to meet my maker that I hadn’t considered before.”
• Kane
