Welcome to Gaia! ::

Located on the outermost edges of the high rise district, the Hunters International Specialized Security Services ( a.k.a. HISSS) building is a ten story office building with ten upper levels and at least three basement levels. Officially, it is a security and mercenary company, providing services ranging from installing home security services and providing bodyguards to defending corporate resources in hostile countries and fighting as paid military "advisors" for foreign governments. Unoffically, the HISSS building is a front for the activities of the New York Hunters Group (NYHG). The funds recieved by the company are quietly funneled into the Hunters accounts, providing a large and steady source of income to help pay for the ongoing war with the supernatural. The comapny is also used to give Hunters outside work and to recruit new members with military and fighting experience. It is a well known fact amongst the supernatural community that HISSS is the public arm of the Hunters, and so vampires, lycans, or demons hoping to get in contact with the Hunters or possibly to even hire a Hunter for a job come to the building in order to make the desired contact without risking entering territory closely protected by the Hunters. Of course, this also makes the building an obvious target for those with grudges against the Hunters, and as such the building maintains a large security force.

The first story is the lobby, where clients come in to arrange for appointments and wait to speak with a company representative (or a representative of the Hunters if that's what they're after.) The second and third stories are filled with offices, meeting rooms, and boardrooms for meetings with clients, discusssions, treaty agreements, comapny meetings, planning sessions, and the like. The fourth story is the location of the war room and command center, where the operations of all offical, non-Hunter related world-wide operations are planned, monitored, and controlled. The fifth floor is a relaxation and entertainment area, with a small spa, tv areas, lounges, small kitchens, a library, computer stations, a bar area, pool tables, dart boards, and even a small arcade. The sixth through tenth floors are personal rooms and apartments for comapny personnel, important guests, clients needing great deals of protection, and mercenaries working for the company who are not currently on assignment or are waiting for one; they also provide the spare rooms to Hunters who need a safe haven for a couple of nights and can't go to any of the other safe houses for whatever reason. The three basement levels are comprised of armories, shooting ranges, practice rooms, training areas, equipment storage, supply rooms, and research and development labs for new and improved weapons and equipment.

As the building is under threat, the security is top-notch. Every single piece of glass in the building, from the front doors to the indoor windows of the offices, is tempered, shatter and bullet proof, flame resistant, triple paned, and extra heavy duty glass that can stop a fifty caliber bullet at close range without being scratched. Shutters are designed to close down over every outside door and window, and every interior door has steel reinforcement and an automatic deadbolt system that can lock all the doors in the building at once. As soon as a person passes throught the front doors, they go through dozens of scans from metal detectors and x-rays to chemical detectors and olfactory sensors, looking for everything from concealed weapons to biological agents. Every inch of the building is covered by infared alarm lasers, security cameras, pressure alarms, motion detectors, hidden microphones, and heat sensors; even the bathrooms are bugged with audio recievers. Finally, at any given point the are two dozen highly trained and dedicated security guards on active duty at the building, with quick and easy access to heavy body armor and assualt weapons if needed. While the HISSS building is a highly visible target, it is by no means an easy one.

So welcome to Hunters International Specialist Security Services, the best mercenary and security company in New York. And remember our motto:

Zero walks up looking around to make sure everything was in order, checking all the doors, the bushes, the windows, the surrounding area, the roof, etc... then continued on.

Zero come across his own record. Zero reads it and remembers all of his past...Zero puts his file into the desk and locks it away with everyones, but Takiko's. Zero gets up and runs back to the docks with the file....

So this is what you call inconspicuous? I see why you always get slaughtered.
She rolled her eyes at the big sign above the door as she muttered to herself.
I better get the hell out of here. We are all like sitting ducks on the edge of the pond. Why is common sense so hard to find these days?
She pronounced in scarcasm.
She wonders outside to examine the rest of the stupidy in the air. Her red crimson hair blows in the wind. A cold breeze chills her down to the bone. She has a premonition that seems to disturb her feeling at easy.
I have a really bad feeling about this all.

She says to herself.
