Honestly killing Nicole Reid aka Sydney Ashford aka DEFENDER-1 was probably one of the most rewarding RP experiences of all my time playing HL2RP.
For clarity, DEFENDER-1 was recruited into the OBC during Ashville by
@maxi and at one point they were the only two OBC operatives in the entire Garrison before we got our shit back together. We had just wrapped up an event series I did were the OBC players were hunting for a traitor event character and D-1 was actually present for the event they finally caught her. Nobody was expecting
@Ron to turn coat and it was a huge surprise.
We spent actual weeks hunting for her from the Alps all the way to Bucharest. During Agora we had a fucking sleeper agent in the resistance activated with the express purpose of finding and killing her but we had no such luck.
In the end, when me and
@slick were driving around in a fucking Lorry in Bucharest trying to find an address for a delivery, a car crashed into our truck, we got out to confront the driver and it was
@Toriwarior30055 playing like a Bucharest official and his fucking passenger was her, D-1, a traitor RL being driven around and shown property for rent. I had planned on starting shit with the driver for crashing but we scurried off as soon as we clocked it was her, waited for her to go into the apartment with Tori, scared him off and then shot her to bits. We didn't really roleplay it at the time because we were shit scared of toris character calling the Guard on us, but thankfully we went back and re-did the situation with
@Ron so we could all get some really good rp from it.
I think my favourite twist from this was Nicole telling us she hadn't lost faith in the Order but in Transhumanism. Thats when we revealed to her that all our Transhuman fantacism was an act, in truth the OBC had been trying to harness the Vortessence for a long time, and we had succeeded in implanting that power in
@slick (KING-8) and in the end, we killed her by having him blow her chest open with a surge of green magic.
So fucking real...
