Ok, you sign up for Corporate Duty.

Your choice: "Special Projects"

You remember signing the dotted line, you might even remember basic training.

After that, according to your contract fine print, your memory is wiped of all information until the end of your enlistment.

Depending on your contract terms, you either keep any implanted cyberware or might receive cash options.

Your medical profile may be limited depending on security concerns: (if you were exposed to an experimental nerve gas, they are not obliged to report it accurately, or at all).

Besides "screwed", what other flaws would you tack on?

-2 bad rep: Corporate Soldier
-2 amnesia: No memory of enlistment period
-2 command word: Kill (Willpower 6 to resist killing specified target upon receiving command word. Additional Willpower 6 roll to remember actions after receiving "clear" signal)

-1 distinctive feature: Barcode on shoulder. Contains file reference number for corp employment records.

(Sorry, after fencing with Polaris and watching "Soldier" in the background, I couldn't resist...)
