The Terminological Problem with Crey

[RikOz]

The problem with Crey mob names, as we encounter them in Crey buildings:

 

The Infiltrators aren't infiltrating anything.

 

The Researchers aren't researching anything.

 

The Field Agents are not in the field.

 

Discuss.

[Rishidian]

Sounds like they should all be fired.

[Glacier Peak]

Do as I say, not as I do?

What? the Paragon Protectors are protecting Paragon?  They're not on the list.

No, they're protecting Crey AGAINST Paragon - definition #2.  Like a "splash guard" stops you getting wet.

All signs point to Crey divisions operating on government grants.

At least by the ingame lore, the Paragon Protectors are a pure Crey PR stunt, a group of cloned supers being spun in the media as the next big peacekeeping force that aren't those worryingly diverse weirdos in their 'Supergroups'.

 

The fact that they're a more or less unlimited source of obedient and plausibly deniable super powered individuals that Crey can tap into for their less savoury operations that aren't as unreliable as the SKy Raiders, Freakshow and other groups that Crey's hired in the past as muscle is entirely a side bonus, honest...

 

And if you believe that, I've got a bridge I'm trying to sell.......

Are you talking about Crey or the rando "heroes" running about "arresting" things?

The Infiltrators aren't infiltrating anything because they're not on-mission in a Crey building.

The researchers aren't researching anything because a hero/villain is going through the facility beating the shit out of everyone.

The Field Agents aren't in the field 24/7. Until a hero/villain breaks into the facility and makes it the field.

I want to know where the riot is and why those guards aren't ever there.... Are they all on break? All the time?

Even a company as vile as Crey can't cause enough trouble to draw rioters every day.  They'd drive themselves out of business.
