Congratulations, agent. You have been chosen to join <s>our finest group of operators,</s> the '''Syndicate Nuclear Operative''' strike team. Your mission, whether or not you choose to accept it, is to destroy Nanotrasen's most advanced research facility! That's right, ''you're going to Space Station 13''.

Before you do anything, you must properly prepare yourself. There's no need to rush, instead take the time to discuss strategy with your squad mates - a job well planned is half done!

[[File:Telecrystal uploadreceive station.png]] '''Telecrystal Management Consoles:''' These consoles work to allow your team to manage their telecrystals. The Telecrystal Stations accept any item with a Syndicate Uplink (PDA, headset, radio, etc.). Once the Uplink is inserted, they can donate their telecrystals to the group's boss console. It's best to go ahead and donate all of your crystals and wait for your commander to dish them out, or buy '''big stompy mechs!'''

You don't need to upload all of your telecrystals to the pool- everyone starts with an equal amount of telecrystals and if the leader presses evenly distribute, then everyone will get an equal amount. However, if the leader wants to buy a mech or expensive item, it might be a good idea to donate some.

Each operative spawns with a personal Syndicate Uplink radio with 30 Telecrystals pre loaded. STOP! Before you waste your crystals on a balloon, take note of the computer terminals in front of you. Once you insert your Uplink into it these new devices allow for your team leader to assign you additional Telecrystals or for you to donate your own Telecrystals to a common pool for your leader to draw upon. Why would you give away your crystals? Giving your crystals to your team leader will allow him to save up and buy some expensive and powerful goodies, like a [[Syndicate_Items#Dark_Mauler|freaking assault mech]]!

Once your team has bought the items essential to your plan you can now selfishly buy what you will need for the mission, however you need to pause and think hard. What [[Syndicate Items]] will you need? Which will cause a huge backlash if used against your team? Now, think what everyone else will likely need. The problem with the agent ID is the access -- you have very little, but an emag, powersink or stolen high-ranking ID will change that in a moment. You do not have an ID or a position at the station, so don't worry about people finding the emagged doors. Everyone on the team should have one. The chameleon kit is wonderful for sneaking in, especially with some ''proper'' documentation. Bombs are great in the right hands. Energy swords, especially if you make double-bladed eswords, are good for blocking enemy fire - but can be easily turned against you if an assistant gets a lucky disarm in. Syndicate borgs are great tanks, and are even more robust if you have a welder, but are at great risk from ion rifle shots.

A quick and dirty list of the common weapons employed by Syndicate Operatives in the field.


*[[File:Stetchkin.png]] Stetchkin Pistol -- '''Free'''. Standard-issue sidearm. 8 Rounds, 30 brute per shot. This is a poor primary weapon to use due to its low ammo count and slow rate of fire but it can be useful in a pinch. ''Isn't implant-locked like your other firearms!''

*[[File:Bulldog.png]] Bulldog Shotgun -- '''Free'''. Standard-issue primary longarm. 8 Shells drum fed, semi-automatic. Three ammo types.
*[[File:Bulldog.png]] Bulldog Shotgun -- '''8 telecrystals'''. Close combat shotgun. 8 Shells drum fed, semi-automatic. Three ammo types. Great for close encounters.
*[[File:C20r.png]] C20r SMG -- '''14 telecrystals.''' Close Combat SMG. 20 rounds, 20 brute per shot/instant knockdown. Popular among nuke ops
*[[File:C20r.png]] C20r SMG -- '''10 telecrystals.''' Close Combat SMG. 24 rounds, 30 brute per shot. Popular among nuke ops, comes with two round burst for maximum damage. Great versatility.
*[[File:C90gl.png]] C90gl Assault Rifle -- '''18 telecrystals.''' Mid-range combat rifle. 30 rounds, 35 brute per shot. Secondary grenade launcher, aprox 80 brute per grenade.  
*[[File:L6machinegun.png]] L6 SAW -- '''18 telecrystals'''. Light Machinegun. 50 rounds, 45 brute per shot. Very powerful weapon, capable of critting most targets in a single burst. Very unwieldy however, needs both hands free to fire, cannot fit in any storage slot and must be carried at all times.
*[[File:L6machinegun.png]] L6 SAW -- '''40 telecrystals.''' Light Machinegun. 50 rounds, 60 brute per shot. Powerful, though if you drop it prepare to be royally screwed by that assistant.
*[[File:Sniper.png]] Sniper -- '''16 telecrystals'''. Specialist weapon for the profession, or insane. Long range sniper rifle. 6 rounds, default magazine deals 70 damage per bullet. Comes with a array of alternative ammo for a wide range of scenarios. The sniper is a very unwieldy weapon and is usually passed over.
*[[File:Sword.gif]] Energy Sword -- '''8 telecrystals'''. Close combat weapon. 30 brute per hit. When double-bladed, can block taser shots. Best if double-bladed, if used as a sidearm or if you are very robust in melee.
*[[File:Sword.gif]] Energy Sword -- '''8 telecrystals'''. Close combat weapon. 30 brute per hit. When double-bladed, can block taser shots. Best if double-bladed, if used as a sidearm or if you are very robust in melee. Good for conserving ammo, but RNG deflection could end your career.  




[[File:Pinpointer-green-lg.gif|right|thumb|192px|HAVE THIS.]]'''You've got a [[pinpointer]], right?''' This device, once turned on, will act as a compass directing you straight to your primary target: The [[High-risk_items#Nuclear_authentication_disk|Nuclear Authentication Disk]]. Every operative that spawns at the start of the round will start with a pinpointer in one of their pockets. Grab it, turn it on by using it in your hand and put it back in your pocket so you can always see it.

The military PDA is very handy if you want to escape after you set the nuke (and I know you do), make sure you assign the PDA to someone who has the least chance of dying and won't fuck off into space. The PDA also comes with a free Detomatrix cartridge, you can use that to [[security|thin the heard]].

You need this disk, but as it could be guarded by the [[Captain]], [[Head of Security]], [[Clown]], or the [[Head of Personnel]]... you best go in without second thoughts or distractions. Even a lure and false positive to get the disk holder to where you want them will be effective.

* If the Nuke detonated on the syndicate base, the Syndicates suffer a humiliating defeat. This is only possible if the crew both gets an agent card before an operative explodes and gets the nuke code, usually from a converted borg. Don't let this happen.
