BACKSTORY
An undisclosed village in South Russia
June 2000
Full brief
An Ural 4320 military truck pulls up to an abandoned farmhouse in the middle of an overgrown field. The photographer quickly scurries forward to get a better view, and watches in horror as multiple prisoners of war are forced out by Russian riot police, believed to be part of OMON. Lying in a prone position, his breathing is heavy as the officers line up the prisoners against the wall, forcing AK74M assault rifles and AKS74U carbines against the back of the prisonerâs heads. A captain fires his Makarov pistol as the officers gun down the prisoners at point-blank range with ruthless efficiency. All this time, the photographer has managed to snap several close-up photographs of these actions and proceeds to get away from the scene as soon as possible.
However, an officer patrolling the perimeter sees and hears grass being shuffled around, and notifies the captain, who orders the officers to fire shots at the potential intruder. As the officers fire several rounds from their AK74s and AKS74Us, one 5.45mm bullet manages to embed itself in the back of the photographerâs right lower thigh, crippling him. The police assume that they have killed him and leave the scene.
The photographer crawls to the side of a road, where he collapses. A farmer and his family find him by chance driving down the road, and bring him to the safety of their farmhouse, where the family treats his wounds. He somehow manages to request the UN for an evacuation from the area.
That photographer is veteran UN war photographer Thomas Deucher, who has been documenting an ongoing war between Russia and separatists for the past 3 years. Throughout his professional career, he has gained prominent recognition for his work, which are often presented in international courts of law. The UN has hired driver Robert Shock to try to evacuate him from Russia. However, their fleet of various heavy-duty pickup trucks and Toyota Land Cruisers they would normally use are deemed not quite up to standard, and also might attract too much unwanted attention due to their UN associations. Thus, our driver is in need of something that can get the job done right.

PRIORITIES
A balance of performance and drivability
-Itâs important not to crash and have the peace of mind of ultimate traction, but keep in mind that Robert is a skilled driver, and he will need to execute various maneuvers, and also wants some level of driver control. And it is very important to be able to get out of danger fast.
Practicality
-It needs to be able to carry quite a bit.
Reliability
-This is an all or nothing mission.
Fuel economy
-We donât need anything to go wrong. Plus we need maximum flexibility in planning.
Safety
-This is life or death.
Size
-It must be a blend of durability, being able to push other vehicles around, and a good level of all-around performance.
Value
-We donât mind paying for much improved performance. Emphasis on much.
(this is kinda out of character but) Believable design
Comfort
-It is better for the injured person after all.
Service costs
-Ease of maintenance is very key to a vehicle that will see a ton of hard usage in hostile territory.
Offroad
-More of a soft-roader Iâd say, but the roads (and non-roads) of the area donât seem friendly at all. In addition, provides us with some more escape routes.
Enviromental resistance
-Seems like a short-term mission, but we donât know how long he plans to use this.
Utility
-Itâs mostly carrying a person and some personal items.
uh
-shut up
hmm
-If itâs not stated in this post, it shouldnât apply, unless we make an update or something idk.
Practice
NOTES ON PRIORITIES
These are the types of priorities that will be used. Some priorities are a combination of multiple types.
Traditional numbers
-Higher is better.
Minimum standard (number)
-As long as a minimum value is met, you should be fine, as long as other priorities are not adversely affected. In fact, extra high values may not even be appreciated.
Minimum standard (features)
-If you have the right features, then you should be fine, as long as other priorities are not adversely affected. This means that if you donât have certain features, we wonât care how high the corresponding numbers are, and will bin you on sight. The vice versa can apply too.
Realism clause
-Your normal CSR minmax policies are in play, and will override any other policy if applied accordingly.
