Good news everyone!
The Mazon Labs are coming to Firefight!
If you are reading this, you are probably one of two kinds of people, those that know all about the Mazon Labs from Deadzone and are chomping at the bit to see them in Firefight, or you are a Firefight player with little knowledge of their existence. So let's address the latter first.
Background
On the surface, the Mazon Labs are one of the biggest pharmaceutical corporations within the GCPS. Its glossy High definition advertisements regularly play out over Overdrive rushes, half time shows and billboards. They show happy scientists busy working in glistening, clean laboratories. The company’s slogan ‘For a better galaxy’ heralds its much talked about quest to stamp out disease using new antibiotics based on the spores, fungi and alien lifeforms the GCPS discovers in its quest to reach further into space.
However, dig a little deeper beyond the clinical surface of Mazon Labs and you’ll quickly find something far darker. Its facilities are guarded by some of the GCPS’ deadliest Rangers and it’s not uncommon to see a Strider or two patrolling the boundaries of these laboratories. It’s not clear if the Rangers and Striders are there to keep intruders out, or to keep something else in...
Although some of the scientists are engaged in using their discoveries for the betterment of mankind, the majority are working hard to weaponize their findings. These new pathogens can then be sold on the black market to the highest bidder and quickly find their way into combat situations.
Perhaps the most concerning thing about Mazon Labs is that it’s just a smaller company under the much wider umbrella of Mazon Holdings. The parent company dabbles in all-manner of cutting-edge technology from cybernetic enhancements to wormhole research and bio-implants, which gives Mazon Labs the opportunity to ‘borrow’ research in order to further its own technological advances. Of course, at no point do Mazon scientists ever ask whether they ‘should’, they’re just concerned with whether they ‘can’…
