Fortitude Election 2524 – Captain Frank Malone – Soldier

Captain Franklyn W. Malone Manifesto

Bet you lot didn’t expect this! Some of you might think that I’m doing this for a laugh, but I’m here with you now, serious as an erection problem.

A lot has changed since our way of life was destroyed. Instead of shooting first, we’re talking. Instead of doing the smacking, we turn the other cheek.

And look what we’ve got to show for it with this ‘new Fortitude.’ Savages making demands. Eggheads making mutants. Spies living amongst us. Psionics at our borders. And the Network always baring down on us.

Now this might all sound shite but actually I’m fucking loving having all these people to shoot. But we’ve been lucky. We’ve barely scraped by, losing friends and family along the way. But there’s more we could be doing, more we could be fighting and more we could be killing.

Instead of just reacting, we need to be proactive. Instead of defending, we need to be conquering.

Instead of forgiveness, there needs to be retribution.

Vote for Malone and we’ll cut a bloody swathe across this blasted land.

Ascendant Election 2524 – Dr Stripes Brenner – Medic

For those that don’t know me, I am Dr Stripes Brenner. I have served as interim medical councillor for about 6 months now.

During that time, we have managed to save many lives at New Hope by applying emergency medical care following the sabotage and explosions, and subsequently created a medical centre to help serve their populace.

I also implemented the Shannon Protocol for your FEF teams, keeping daily bunker life secure by helping ensure no viruses or infections enter our society. 

Currently, I hold the position of key Ascendant medic while topside, and have experienced many of the threats and challenges our brave FEF teams face and deal with.

If you would have me as your Medical Councillor, I intend to continue promoting the health and well-being needs of the Bunker – ensuring quality and personalised care for all our citizens, whenever they require medical attention, and without prejudice or discrimination. I believe this is the fundamental role of your healthcare provider.

I have been proud to lead our Bunker medical team over the last 6 months, and will endeavour to continue improving our high quality medical coverage regardless of these election results. 

Ascendant Election 2524 – Captain Riley Evans – Soldier

I’m not here to claim I’m the best choice for the military council. There are others with more polished leadership or bolder strategies. I’ve never been the loudest voice in the room, nor do I seek power for its own sake. In fact, I did not intend to put my name forward at first. Some recent events however led me to take the chance on using my own voice.

I stand here because I know the reality of the frontlines. I’ve been in the trenches, faced the chaos of battle, and relied on the trust and grit of my fellow soldiers to survive. I have seen the bad and the good of the surface — as well as the bunker.

What I offer isn’t perfection — it’s hard-earned experience. I’ve made many mistakes, learned from them, and returned stronger. Every scar I carry is a lesson, and every decision I make comes from understanding the real stakes of combat, where survival is never guaranteed.

If you choose me, you’re selecting someone who values resilience, teamwork, and empathy. Leadership is more than just strategy; it’s about caring for those who carry out those strategies. I’ve seen the weight of sending people into harm’s way, and I’ll bear that responsibility with the respect it deserves.

I believe in leadership that listens, adapts, and stays grounded in the realities faced by our soldiers. My commitment is to the mission, our values, and the people behind them. That’s why I won’t promise perfection, but I will promise thoughtful, dedicated leadership. 

I’m not here because I think I’m the best choice — I’m here because I’m willing. Willing to serve with humility, to ensure no one is abandoned, and to lead with integrity. Quiet, effective leadership may not always be flashy, but it’s what gets the job done. 

At the end of the day, the choice is yours. If you choose me, you’re choosing someone who has been where you’ve been. Someone who has seen the ugly of the world. Someone who understands that every decision we make defines who we are as soldiers, and as human beings.It’s a long shot — but my aim’s steady, so better believe I’ll be ready.

Fortitude Election 2524 – Dr Wesley “Cass” Snipes – Medic

So one term done and I feel some of what I aspired to do for the bunker and fef has come to pass. 

We are working towards rolling out more memory implants for skilled operatives to pick up the invaluable work done within the bunkers. 

Cybernetic research is above and beyond my goals to date with limbs now being perfected and soon available for installing once a few are out I will start to work on other technologies down this path and then begin work on reducing the cost on materials and credits for all of these and start to roll them out for the bunker in general to allow for a cleaner living and more healthy life but for now we need to focus on more military based ones to keep the wolves from the door. 

I have other goals I want to achieve, a cleaner energy which is something we all as councillors are working on and should carry on doing. 

I want to openly work with the psionic community and try figure out more about this to better protect those with these abilities and those without. I feel more understanding of what they have to deal with and what people are capable of will allow me to form a better understanding. This is something I will work along side the other council members to get up and running and perhaps have someone from within that community work alongside me also. 

I want to maintain an open door policy, there or facts and fiction out there that do nothing put harm what we as a people are trying to achieve and that will not be tolerated anymore. I for one will look towards the people as my moral compass as I endeavour to drive our medical team to do their best and we have an excellent team within bunker fortitude. 

Don’t vote for me if you feel your needs are not met from me being were I am, I’m here to make a change and help bring a better future and if me not being a councillor achieves that I’m more than happy with that out come. 

Thank you for your time 

Dr Cass 

Ascendant Election 2524 – Lieutenant E. ‘HAZARD’ Brenner – Soldier

Those of you who have served beside me in the FEF know me as Hazard or Prospect, but for those in the bunker who have never braved it onto the surface may know me from years of bunker service as part of our security department.

I’m going to keep it short and to the point, like any Brenner, I aim to Get Shit Done. 

I want to tighten security on our territory to prevent a repeat of recent history, no more enemy attacks on our posts, we can’t afford to lose what progress we’ve made to gaps in our defences. 

I want to address FEF pay, which will involve steps such as talking AICE and our council round to solving problems closer to home, and ensuring the correct personnel are going out to secure the objectives best suited to their skillset. We want every possible objective to succeed, not just the overall sortie. 

Lastly, I’d like to push for those objectives to be solved to their completion, not just addressed when they’re critical, only to be dropped when they’re not. My concern is enemies like Hive Vulcan becoming a problem again in the future, when instead we could wipe them out there and then.

It’s time to thrive, not just survive. Vote Brenner to Get Shit Done.

Fortitude Election 2524 – Lead Engineer Travis Brenner – Engineer

Fortitude is changing, there are big changes happening, in which case I’d say it was time for a change in our council positions.

Mr Welkerson has run things his way for a while now but I think we need to change, get in some new ideas and new leaders, in this vain I want to put myself forward as the engineering councillor for fortitude.

I do not wish to take anything away from the person currently in this post. I think they have done the best they could in a difficult position but a fresh look at things could improve our bunkers position and make life a little easier for us.

Let’s make a basic start though, let’s get back to basics the network have played with our AI and may have other links into our bunker fortitude, let get our hands dirty and check all our nooks and crannies look for signs the network are monitoring us tidy up some of the mess and insure we are not passing information to the wrong people. 

While we are doing this let’s look at food production, sanitary systems, let’s see if we can get those working better, maybe even improve our relations with some of our neighbours to see if we can help one another.

Vote for Travis vote for a change

Ascendant Election 2524 – Assistant Medic Edward O’Brien Brenner – Psion

I don’t really have a Manifesto, Just saying. I plan on running to be a voice for those that are worried/angry about how psions are treated, confused by what is going on, I want to give them a voice without ties to a religious or strong political agenda 

I am a botanist/medic first,  an average day folk that gained psionic powers through a traumatic event and decided I’m going to try use them for betterment of the people.

I do believe we as people, both psions and non-psions just need to come together to Get Shit Done. More unites us than should divide us.

Ascendancy Election 2524- Alan Richardson – Crat

Bunker First!

That should be the first thought for everyone who lives in or is from Bunker Ascendant. Too long have we put ourselves at risk for others, others who would not hesitate to sacrifice us to save their own.

The FEF was created to recover technology, resources and intelligence to allow us to retake our rightful place on the surface. It now serves as a vainglorious elitist, dare i say it criminal organisation, working towards its own goals and believing it is above Bunker law.

We need to regain control of this radical element and use it for its original purpose, the betterment and survival of Bunker Ascendant.

I am not saying that we should not have allies, but we need to be equals in those alliances, not doing so out of fear, or from a position of weakness. I propose a full review of all current alliances and creation of formal documents to make sure the agreements and obligations are clear.

I stand with those forgotten masses in the Bunker, I will be your Voice and I will ensure that the FEF and all Bunker resources are used correctly and openly!

Many of the astute members of the populace will realise that this is the same manifesto i stood on last election! Nothing has changed for the better!

Vote for YOUR Bunker, Vote Richardson.
