This thread concerns the South Africa zone and may contain spoilers for those unacquainted with the play-field or related characters.

Unlike the preceding zones, South Africa does not have strong Non-Player Character interactions, Che Hansson being the somewhat notable exception by being involved in several missions and cut-scenes.
Che however, is already developed upon in Kingsmouth by providing Missions, multiple lines of dialogue and numerous cut-scene appearances as well as in Kaidan, and additionally also being represented in the Agent Network.

Other Non-player characters in South Africa provide brief and vague interactions, and there are also fewer and less story driven missions in the South African zone than preceding zones.

The Agent Network however has many more characters held in association with the South Africa zone, and each with a background biography text.
Lead Designer Nirvelle at one time supported the proposal of making agents more connected to players in-game, potentially as interactable NPCs in future content.

The point of this thread is to ask members to creatively write about South Africa zone character/s (from New Dawn play-field or the Agent Network) in a plot that could be conceivable as an Agent network mission or a South Africa side / main mission.

Example:

Challenge this Russian ‘Oleg’ in his favoured sport of Chessboxing as an opening for confirmation.
