What are the Hivers' plans for the future of humanity?There are those who say that nothing takes place in charted space without the Hivers having anticipated it, planned it, shaped it, brought it into being by patient, careful manipulation.The Hivers are the manipulators -- emotionless, perfectly rational beings possessed of infinite patience and subtlety. If interstellar history is a clock, the Hivers are the ones who wind it; the passage of time itself does their bidding."What do you get when you cross a golden retriever with a box of razor blades? How is it that the most efficient, merciless killers in the universe don't have a mean bone in their bodies? If violence is natural, guileless, and innocent, does that mean one need not take it so personally?The Ithklur are the most feared warriors known to man. To an Ithklur, Vargr plunder is like a walk in the park; Aslan warrior spirit is the babbling of a toothless child. Other races make such a fuss over violence -- why not just do it and enjoy yourself?To the Hivers, the Ithklur are their trained, elite shock troops, lovingly perfected by millenia of manipulation and social engineering. No finer tool has ever been fashioned.But as far as the Ithklur are concerned, they have the Hivers just where they want them. Who wants to be a boring taxi driver anyway? If the Hivers want to pretend they're in charge, what does it really hurt, so long as they leave the Ithklur alone?

They want four million in ransom, and the guyâs relatives are poor as churchmice. The goons figure the engineer is so valuable the oil company will pay to get him back, but theyâre wrong on two counts.The company is only paying one million.And theyâre paying it to us.MERC: 2000 is a game of daring night raids on enemy camps. Audacious hostage rescues, and tense industrial sabotage missions in exotic foreign locales. It is an alternate world situation for use with Twilight: 2000, GDWâs roleplaying game of survival in a devastated world. In MERC: 2000, the world did not blow itself up. The old bi-polar superpower conflict is gone, replaced by a mulitpower competition. What armies remain are kept purely for internal security at reduced levels. When a war becomes necessary, a country (or company) will hire independent contractors â" mercenaries â" to conduct it.Using Twilight: 2000 rules as a base, MERC: 2000 enables players and referees to recreate modern close combat in a number of environments. MERC: 2000 includes a new chronology of the events of the decade between 1990 and 2000, plus new rules, equipment, vehicles, weapons, and career path (counterterrorist). It also contains five ready-to-play scenarios and suggestions for scenario creation and campaign organization. Everything is fully compatible with the Twilight: 2000 rules system, and characters can be used interchangeably.
