Pinnacle Squad
[?] Also referenced once as “Pin Knuckle Squad” — likely the same name mis-heard by the transcription bot; “Pinnacle Squad” used consistently elsewhere and treated as correct here.
Overview
The winning team in a citywide extraction-shooter esports competition, led by a figure the table nicknamed the Donald — someone who openly didn’t care about accusations of cheating because his team won regardless. Unknown to the public (and initially to the crew), Pinnacle Squad’s fighters were wetware-puppeted Under Sector arena fighters, part of a covert VYRAL/NSMC program testing remote human control tech. See Session 0’s recapped previous job for the crew’s involvement in exposing this.
The crew’s actual employer for that job may not have been the runner-up team at all, but a rival corp’s deniable agents posing as them specifically to get the scandal exposed — left intentionally unresolved at the table.
