Holders of keywords that are next to each other on the star are Sympathetic: they have common ground and only a few small reasons to hate each other.

Conversely, holders of keywords that are directly opposite each other on the star are Antipathetic: they despise each other on principle and will do whatever they can to thwart or destroy their rival.

All other keyword relations are generically pathetic and that joke really wasn’t worth the set-up.

THE GOLDEN SEAL

YOUR BELIEFS: Another world lies beyond this one, and with the right rituals, chants, and secret wisdom from the Time Before you can access its power as ‘magick’ which is like science only better. Or it will be when you can make it work.

YOUR GOALS: Be a master of occult knowledge. Learn eldritch wisdom and use it to save Alpha Complex from supernatural threats. Be charismatic and mysterious. Avoid summoning [REDACTED]. Recruit new members.

KEYWORDS: EXPLORE, PROGRESS

GUERRILLA ENGINEERS

YOUR BELIEFS: Why worry Friend Computer with the troubling news that Alpha Complex is falling apart when you can fix it yourself, better than it was before? You’re faster and more efficient than any Service Group, which is probably why they all hate you.

YOUR GOALS: Stop stuff from breaking. Fix stuff that’s broken. Improve stuff so it works better. Reject red tape. Avoid forms. Have fun! Don’t be caught. Recruit new members.

YOUR GOALS: Create new ideas and make things, particularly beautiful things, and spread them to open the minds of the masses. Be different, even if it annoys people. Be original. Recruit new members.

KEYWORDS: DISORDER, DIVERSIFY

You are part of the

PURGE

YOUR BELIEFS: The Computer is not our friend, it is a jumped-up techno-dictator. We must find ways to bypass and overcome the Computer, with the ultimate goal of putting clones back in control of Alpha Complex where they belong. Bots are okay once they’ve been reprogrammed, though.

YOUR GOALS: Subvert the Computer’s instructions, hamper its missions and destroy its tools. Create dark zones. Set up autonomous leadership of Alpha Complex. Recruit new members.

You have a hotline to someone who has a hotline to a High Programmer who has a hotline to the Computer, and you’re not afraid to use it to keep Alpha Complex safe from anything that even smells like it smelled a threat once.

YOUR GOALS: Be suspicious of everything, particularly authority figures, particularly authority figures who claim to be in MO.N.I.T.O.R. Report everything and stand back as it burns. Recruit new members.

ALPHA COMPLEX

COMMUNIST MOVEMENT

YOUR BELIEFS: You are the only true keepers of the flame of Communism. All others are dupes, fools or stooges, and must be convinced of their error and/or eliminated, not necessarily in that order.

YOUR GOALS: Win arguments with false Communists, and eliminate them, not necessarily in that order. Recruit new members.

ALPHA COMMUNIST

COMPLEX FRONT

YOUR BELIEFS: Based on a schism in doctrine and a typo that wasn’t noticed until too late, the ACCF is the last bastion of the true spirit of the Communist revolutionary zeal. All other secret societies are counter-revolutionary, particularly the other Communist ones and specifically the ACCM, and must be destroyed.

YOUR GOALS: Destroy the ACCM. Bring Alpha Complex to a pre-revolutionary state. Attempt to identify the bourgeoisie. Eliminate all typos from your propaganda. Recruit new members.

(MARKY MARXIST)

YOUR BELIEFS: Workers of Alpha Complex unite! You have nothing to lose but your shirts! Marky Marxism is the funkiest Communism and all other Communisms are less funky and therefore wrong. Music for the people!

YOUR GOALS: Promote the Communist ideal through morale-raising songs and dance routines. Express your revolutionary fervour through buff semi-nudity. Thwart the schemes of the Free Markieteers. Recruit new members.

COMMUNIST PARTY OF ALPHA COMPLEX

YOUR BELIEFS: The split in the movement toward revolutionary socialism can be healed through mutual understanding of common goals and vodka. Together we are stronger and our parties are better, and there ain’t no party like a Communist Party of Alpha Complex party.

YOUR GOALS: Reach out to the other Communist groups and invite them to party. Make the best vodka. Check other vodkas to be sure yours is best. There may be something else but it’s probably not important. Oh, and recruit new members.

KEYWORDS: ISOLATE, PRO-HUMAN

You are part of the

A FACTION OF THE COMMUNISTS

ANTI MUTANT FRONT

YOUR BELIEFS: Mutations aren’t just about secret powers, they’re about deviations from the norm. The norm, in this case, is people who look exactly like you. Clones should all be alike, right? It would save a lot on uniforms. And what’s the point of having two genders anyway?

YOUR GOALS: Do not cease from mental fight until everybody in Alpha Complex is genetically identical, ideally to you. Recruit new members.

KEYWORDS: ORDER, ISOLATE

DEATH ROW SKULL

YOUR BELIEFS: Only sell-outs live within the system. Collecting XP points is for suckers. Reject the Computer and its values! Reject Alpha Complex! Grow your hair long! Rock in, drop on, and tune out, not necessarily in that order.

YOUR GOALS: Get busted down to Infrared and stay there because you like the black clothes. Live outside the system. Sneer at ‘colours’, particularly the insufficiently hardcore kids in Death Leopard. Play music really loud. Recruit new members.

FREE MARKIETEERS

YOUR BELIEFS: The spirit of true free-market capitalism is embodied by its founder, the eponymous Markie Mark, who displays all the virtues a true Free Markieteer should. Particularly the abs. Venerate his teachings and his image.

YOUR GOALS: Restore rampant semi-naked capitalism to Alpha Complex. Protect the image of Markie Mark from those who would despoil it, particularly the Marky Marxists. Collect and trade artefacts from the Time Before for profit. Recruit new members.

KEYWORDS: PROGRESS, DIVERSIFY

You are part of the

ILLUMINATUS SOCIETY

YOUR BELIEFS: The Illuminati is a false front created by the Computer to safely corral those who would subvert it and take control. You are the true holders of the secret knowledge of the universe. Only you really know how everything works. At least your superiors say they do, and they’ll tell you just as soon as you do one more mission for them. Really, this time.

YOUR GOALS: Learn secret wisdom and don’t tell anyone because it’s a secret. Understand mysteries. Be mysterious. Control stuff. Trust your superiors. Recruit new members.

KEYWORDS: [REDACTED]

YOUR GOALS: Think like the Computer. Trust the Computer in all things. Disrupt the activities of those simpletons in the FCCCP. Pray. Work to bring about the end of all clones. Recruit new members.

INNER EYE

YOUR BELIEFS: Clones are machines just like bots and they can reprogram themselves by ingesting substances that allow them to understand greater truths, perceive higher wisdoms, and reach into inner realms which is what people mean when they talk about Outside because Outside is really Inside and you’ve got to get into it if you want to get out of it duuude.

YOUR GOALS: Explore inner space, outer space, and any other space that seems interesting. Find new substances to ingest and see if they take you to interesting spaces. Propagate the wisdom you discover. Share your drugs freely to freak out those sell-outs in the Mystics. Look at your hand. I mean really look at your hand. Recruit new members.

CORE TECHNICIANS

YOUR BELIEFS: Strength and power comes from bettering yourself, and that means self-hacking, including your Cerebral Coretech. Become faster, stronger, cleverer, betterer in every way. Release upgrades for anyone to use. Only through this will clones be able to take on the Computer on equal terms.

YOUR GOALS: Hack your internal systems, both biological and digital. Overclock your brain. Test new patches on unwitting dupes from other societies, particularly those hobbyists the Phreaks. Recruit new members.

KEYWORDS: PROGRESS, PRO-HUMAN

You are part of the

PSIONI-X

YOUR BELIEFS: The Psioni-X own a document that proves the Time Before was a time of mutants and mutant heroes. This brightly coloured 24-page comic book has become the foundation of its philosophy and mission to reshape Alpha Complex and save the world from Agneto (that page is a bit torn)

YOUR GOALS: Convince people that mutants are good. Wear tight-fitting costumes. Improve your power. Save Alpha Complex from threats, mostly other mutants. Recruit new members.

SMALLLEVEL 1

ACTION ORDER N/A

ISSUED BY: ALL SECRET SOCIETIES

Your society has its own secret proto-language, slang, argot, code or communication system that its members use to pass messages. This language may be spoken, written, gestural or any combination. (Make some of it up and use it in-game.) Patois can be learned the hard way, or downloaded as a special skill package. Possession of unauthorised skill packages is a security risk and treason.

PATOIS

SMALLLEVEL 1

ACTION ORDER N/A

ISSUED BY: PRO-TECH; ISOLATE; ORDER; DIVERSIFY

This collection of soothing music, motivational messages and fairly serious drugs keeps the Troubleshooter in comfort no matter how stressful the situation is becoming. Every hour of play, regain 3 Moxie points. (Work out at what point on the hour you get the Moxie back.) Possession of this item is treason.

SANITY SUITE

SMALLLEVEL 3

ACTION ORDER MECHANICS +2

ISSUED BY: PRO-HUMAN; EXPLORE; DISORDER; DIVERSIFY

Hardware. Insert this into a bot’s circuitry to turn it against other bots; it will zealously attack them until it is destroyed or the chip is removed. Bonus fun fact: also comes with software allowing the bot to feel guilt and remorse for its actions. Possession of this item is treason.

You decide what this pre-Alpha Complex object is, subject to GM approval, but crucially its existence proves that your Secret Society is correct. It is very old and incredibly important. It must not fall into enemy hands or enemy gripping appendages, or hands (or appendages) that might pass it to enemy hands (or appendages). Possession of this item is probably treason.
