Riotfish, Inc.: In Debt

Not everybody would hire an orc as their military strategist, but David Fleer would. He’d also use a little old lady as his getaway driver, and a deranged lizardman who clings to reality like a nudist clings to a cactus. Maybe that’s why he’s on the verge of going out of business. Fleer runs– or tries to run– Riotfish, Inc., a hard-luck mercenary outfit working cheap contracts for megacorporations who don’t want to get their hands dirty. He’d be better off fielding real soldiers, but he’s grown to love his misfits. Plus, they’re all he can afford. Now the Riotfish are facing a critical cash shortage. They’re under the gun in more ways than one, and after a misunderstanding leads them to assault their auditor, all their loans are called due. Fleer and his crew have six weeks to come up with half a million credits, or they’ll be terminally out of business. And nobody will hire the survivors. To make that kind of money, the Riotfish are going to have to get in way over their heads: navigating dark corporate conspiracies, blackmailing execs, and dodging vengeful black ops squads while working out how to steal a vast cache of forgotten corporate assets. Keeping the Riotfish in business won’t mean much if they all end up dead, though. And Fleer is going to find out just how far he can push them.
