Background
Operating in the daylight, a clandestine force thrives under the banner of Seattle Software and Special Investigations, colloquially known as S3I. This private security firm is the brainchild of two contrasting yet complementary figures, Liam Borrinea and El-Ahrairah. The duo orchestrates a broad variety of skills, with Liam embodying the public face while El-Ahrairah maneuvers the strings behind the scenes.
At first glance, Liam Borrinea is the - somewhat uncharismatic - face of S3I, a man whose public presence serve as the perfect camouflage. He is the embodiment of the organization's outward image, a carefully crafted persona that conceals the intricate workings beneath the surface. Meanwhile, El-Ahrairah, the enigmatic brains of the operation, operates in the shadows, wielding a masterful understanding of connections and networks that propels S3I to unparalleled efficiency.
The duo is further enriched by the inclusion of WRN3, a budding technomancer whose journey into the realm of the arcane is guided by the expertise of his mentor, Bunny Hop. The mentor-protege relationship adds a familial touch to the S3I narrative, with WRN3 affectionately referring toBhop as his "oneechan". Together, this trio spearheads a team that, despite being under-equipped, showcases an extraordinary level of efficiency and effectiveness in their operations.
What sets S3I apart from its contemporaries is its strategic focus on tactics and resource optimization rather than sheer firepower. Operating with a smaller number of skilled individuals, each member is strategically deployed to maximize their impact in every engagement. The result is a well-coordinated and nimble force that can outmaneuver larger and more heavily armed adversaries.
In the cutthroat world of private security, S3I stands as a beacon for the underprivileged and underserved. Their clientele consists of those with modest wallets, individuals and entities often overlooked by the corporate giants and larger organizations. S3I consciously champions the cause of 'the little guy' or 'the underdog,' refusing to align themselves with entities solely motivated by profit. For the members of S3I, the safety and connections of the marginalized take precedence over monetary gains, a principle that resonates through the ranks of their operators.
In a city where shadows conceal as much as they reveal, Seattle Software and Special Investigations emerges as a force for good, navigating the labyrinth of intrigue, danger, and corporate power with a commitment to justice that transcends the allure of wealth. S3I's story is one of a well-oiled machine operating in the twilight, with Liam as the face, El-Ahrairah as the mind, and WRN3 as the mystical touch that binds them together in a covert dance against the forces that dwell in the shadows.
Allies
- Farraday's Clinic
- S3I Had a hand in the protection of Farraday's clinic, but in 2084, S3I faced its first major adversary, in the form of a ruthless mercenary group known as the N-51. Trying silence the Farraday's Clinic, the N-51 waged a short but potent assault. The ensuing conflict tested their strategic focus on tactics, and with a combination of wit, skill, and unexpected alliances, and while S3I managed to survive, they were unable to the tables on their attackers, revealing the S3I's limits.
