Any suggestions for basing the hexes? What ecosystem comes to mind when you think Taurian Concordat?
Also, the Ymir is towering and gives vibes of Lurch from The Addams Family. I'm sad there's no canon factions with access to them in ilClan era. The Taurian Concordat only has them to through the Dark Ages. And it's a primitive one, which is kinda delightful. Like, the ninety tonner is the least threatening of the three mechs here.
My mother passed away in Dekalb.
I fully understand that no one wants to give legal advice. I swear I won't sue anybody if you tell me wrong. But if you have done probate in Dekalb you talk about what that was like? I need to do it, and it's confusing.
From Wired, an analysis of DHS records, which identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians, and used excessive force against immigrants.
A WIRED review of over 78 incident reports from Operation Midway Blitz found that BORTAC (Border Patrol Tactical Unit) and BORSTAR (Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue) agents were, as a group, the most violent of the hundreds of federal agents deployed to Chicago.
A few examples with US citizens:
>During Operation Midway Blitz, incidents beyond the South Shore Apartment raids included the gassing of an affluent Northside Chicago neighborhood right before a children’s Halloween parade, a chaotic car chase on the city’s South Side, and clashes with protesters outside the Broadview immigration detention facility.
And another involving an immigrant:
>Myers, Berlin, Dubar, Delgado, and their teammates seemed keyed up. The intelligence briefing they received claimed the building was controlled by Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan street gang the Trump administration categorized—despite contrary evidence amassed by its own intelligence services—as a foreign terrorist organization. Gang members were supposedly occupying the building and storing grenades, handguns, and rifles on the second floor, where a suspect with an open warrant for firearms possession lived. This intelligence was never released or substantiated, and Illinois later launched an investigation into whether the property owner had sent baseless claims to the feds. But at that moment, it didn’t matter.
>At every door approached by his team, Berlin yelled, “Police! Speak to me now or I’ll send the dog!” In a second-floor unit, the BORTAC team detained one man. Further down the hall, Myers noticed “signs of forced entry” and smashed open the door. Tolulope Akinsulie, an undocumented immigrant from Nigeria, happened to be hiding in the bedroom. Without issuing a warning or verbal command, Berlin let go of [his dog] Yoda’s leash and the Malinois pounced, sinking its teeth into Akinsulie’s leg as he screamed in agony. Yoda bit Akinsulie repeatedly in the leg, hip, and hands before Berlin called the dog off and his team placed the man in cuffs. Akinsulie, who was not a target of the raid and has no known history of violent crime or gang affiliation, was treated for his injuries and taken to the Broadview Processing Center to face removal proceedings.
What do you think is the appropriate accountability for these government employees who used excessive force? Do you think it is appropriate for law enforcement to violently disperse protesters near their facilities when the protesters have not used violence first?
Do you think that these agents should be shown leniency, on the idea that they were acclimatized to dealing with dangerous cartel members near the border, and so they were simply following the same protocols when dealing with non-violent people residing in US communities?
