IRRK Freelance - The truth behind the bravest group of employees

During the Corporate Wars (from 29204 to 29212) the Unicorn Company has gotten an unfair reputation as ruthless killers who have been altered so much genetically they need to use those bulky suits of armour to fit their deformed bodies. Of course that is just the tip of the iceberg, there are much more outrageous claims by both Sol Banking Corporation and the Clans since that time.

In fact, it was the UC which turned the tide during the Corporate Wars, pushing back the best Sol Corp could send to the front lines. When it was made public that UC personnel had volunteered to be genetically altered to enhance their abilities, Sol Corp began a propaganda war in 29210 including "reenactments" which portrayed the UC as a group of mindless mutated murderers.

This of course backfired on them, because many Sol Corp worlds would practically surrender or try to negotiate a ceasefire as soon as they saw a UC vessel among the attacking ships. This lead to countless stories of how Unicorns had committed such atrocities that they were considered invincible in the battlefield, be it on the ground or in space.

Omni-Tek would have protested, if it wasn't because the reputation itself was giving them a serious advantage in the war. In the end, a truce was called and the war ended.

By the time OT decided to try and straighten out the reputation of the Unicorn Company, it was too late. Hundreds of worlds, billions of people believed and feared the UC and there was nothing they could say to change their image.

The senior members of UC requested for the company not to make any effort to improve their reputation in any way. They understood that sooner or later, enemies would show their ugly heads and having a terrifying reputation would certainly come in handy.

They were right. For over two hundred years they have gone to the most dangerous corners of the universe; in the brightest days, and darkest nights; defending the corporation, and fellow employees to the death.

When they were called to Rubi-Ka to deal with the alien threat and the Dust Brigade terrorists, the clans cried foul in fear of having to face the bravest Omnis in existence. Now even they bow to their might and work with them against the Kyr'Ozch.

Few know this, but even before the aliens showed up at our doorstep, some UC personnel had been called to our world to investigate threats and assist us.

Back in 29466 Tarkhan Zora himself (now our beloved CEO), then a UC officer, in the aftermath of the 'Black October' Dust Brigade attacks, he was an intelligence liaison assigned to Philip Ross' command staff. He also returned to Rubi-Ka in 29470 as a military advisor to the diplomatic team that signed the addendum to the Tir Accord. A man of respect and vision, a unicorn.

Also right before the aliens arrival in force, unicorns came to investigate several incidents, including a crash site; helping Omni-AF and Omni-Pol in investigations of these mysteries.

They are here to help and protect the corporation and fellow employees. Just like Sol Corp, the clans have created false propaganda against the Unicorn Company, and just like in the past, it has backfire. Clan citizens shake in fear at the sight of a unicorn in their cities during investigations; questions are answered quickly.

Who mourns the loss of a brave and loyal unicorn? have you ever even seen a unicorn funeral? of course not! one of their mottoes is "don't leave my body behind". They rather be disintegrated than allow anyone to see their faces. They don't only protect us, but their own families, friends and co-workers even at the cost of their own lives.

So when you see a unicorn, nod or salute or just say "thank you". They deserve it.

Unicorns, from a magical fairytale myth, to the undying legend of true heroes.

Long live the corporation!

Long live Omni-Tek!
