Leadership: Adrian Voss

Summary

Voss Dynamics is the private defense contractor the PCs have been assigned to. Led by CEO Adrian Voss, the company is known for advanced energy systems and experimental technologies. In March 2019, they secured a major federal contract to investigate the meteor and develop countermeasures against fragment-empowered individuals.

NATO nations have assigned their elite special operators — including Ronnie Vint — to Voss Dynamics to be trained and equipped with experimental TL9+ technology for anti-fragment operations.

Known Activities

• Advanced energy systems research (pre-meteor history)
• Experimental technology development
• Federal contract for meteor fragment investigation (as of 2019-03-18)
• Developing counter-fragment technology (TL9+ experimental gear)
• Integrating NATO special operators into anti-fragment teams

Public Profile

Market analyst Jordan Hale noted: “Whenever there’s a situation involving unknown energy or materials, Voss Dynamics tends to be at the center of it.” This implies a pattern of involvement with exotic or unknown materials — the meteor contract is not their first rodeo.

Resources & Capabilities

• Access to NATO special operations personnel
• Experimental technology (TL9 with some TL9+ elements)
• Government funding and backing from multiple NATO nations
• Prior experience with exotic materials and unknown energy sources

Key Personnel (Session 01)

• Adrian Voss — CEO. Personally briefs operators. Measured, direct.
• Major William Cage — Military attaché. Handles PR and agency liaison.
• Major Jenkins — First Voss Combat Suit operative. Former Army Ranger.
• Yi Jiangku — Head of R&D. Deeply unsettling. Knows things about the operators he shouldn’t.
• Sam Elliott (Driver) — Driver/logistics. Professional, unflappable.
• The Cook — Mess hall staff. Potentially corruptible (Ronnie is working on it).
• Terry Muñoz — Breakfast shift line cook. New kid, three weeks in. Thoroughly terrorised by Ronnie after the egg incident.
• Paul — Mess bar bartender. Unflappable. Does not stock sausage rolls, scotch eggs, chicken tikka masala, or Old Speckled Hen.

Facilities

The Voss Campus in Northern Arizona is confirmed as the primary compound. Silicon Valley-style architecture in the desert. Includes: corporate building, R&D facility, medical building, security station, barracks, garage, and apartments for operators.

Known Technology

• Voss Combat Suit — DR 70 torso / DR 50 elsewhere, enhanced strength, jumping ability. Powered by meteor fragment-derived element.
• Sonic Weapon — Integrated into the suit. Devastating incapacitation, but drains all suit power.
• Stasis Chamber — Medical containment unit for transporting empowered prisoners.
• Research Folders — “Hungry God,” “Toasty Titan,” “Jens” — psychological profiling of operators?

Open Questions

• Where is their primary facility / HQ? — ANSWERED: Voss Campus, Northern Arizona
• Who are the key personnel we’ll interact with? — ANSWERED: See Key Personnel above
• What specific tech have they developed from the fragments beyond the suit?
• What other “high-risk, cutting-edge research” have they done previously?
• What are their true corporate motivations beyond the contract? Are they trustworthy?
• What are the research folders about? Why does Yi Jiangku know so much about the operators?
