Secure Services Inc.

Secure Services Inc. (SSI) is a private security contractor in Night City in 2077.

History
SSI was established in 2062. Outwardly, it was known as a small company in 2077, on a tier well below big-name security corporations like Arasaka and Militech, but with clients all over Night City.

It was recommended to Jefferson Peralez by an acquaintance, who hired them soon after to become their private security. SSI moved into their Charter Hill apartment, turning Elizabeth Peralez's office into the security control room from which Security Officer West would coordinate the team, while Chief of Security Wallace would oversee them from the company offices. The Peralezes were considered VIP status, and the company's priority was to protect them from any and all dangers, including regards to privacy and emotional stability. SSI agents were tasked to report about any behavioral anomalies, no matter if the Peralezes were in their apartment or somewhere else. Unknown to Elizabeth and Jefferson, SSI was a front for an unknown party that sought to mold them into the ideal political couple and pave the way for Jefferson to become Night City's mayor. The operation, codenamed "CONDIN", consisted of three teams of personnel overseen by Chief of Security Wallace: ORANGE, BLUE, and BLACK (Black Echelon).

ORANGE included the security detail who the Peralezes saw on a daily basis, and were allowed access to all of the apartment areas with the exception of Sector Zero. ORANGE agents weren't allowed to engage with BLUE and BLACK agents unless they received an explicit order from said agents or the Chief of Security. BLUE and BLACK were covert teams which carried out an elaborate gaslighting procedure on the Peralezes to manipulate their memories and personalities. The monitoring and gaslighting were done from Sector Zero, a concealed room within the Peralezes residence, though at night BLUE and BLACK agents left it to wander the apartment at will. Medical and psychological observation data from the operation was sent to "management" via special line-of-sight transmitters and a mobile data center managed by BLACK agents. During this operation, Jefferson Peralez was referred to as "target ALPHA".

One night Jefferson came across agent BLUE-66M, with the former shooting the later after Peralez thought it was a burglar. Soon afterwards Jefferson lost consciousness and was carried to his bed by other agents, while 66M was brought to Sector Zero to be patched up. Security Officer West informed Wallace of the situation, and the Security Chief informed SSI Management of the issue while also sending Black Echelon team to recover the wounded agent. SSI wiped out any traces of the incident and tried to convince the Peralezes it had just been a bad dream. To find out what had really happened, Elizabeth and Jefferson hired the mercenary V, whom eventually discovered SSI's hidden room and gaslighting tech. V found the transmitters and pursued the SSI data center van, but the drivers arranged for a group of Maelstrom, lead by a goon named Dante, to ambush V and cover their tracks. Depending on V's actions, the SSI BLACK agents either died or escaped aboard a cloaked AV. V could also inform Jefferson that SSI was part of a conspiracy to manipulate him, or lie and say that his political opponent, Weldon Holt, had been using SSI to spy on him. Before talking to Peralez, V received a call from an unknown number who told them it didn't matter what they told Jefferson, as nothing would change. And that they also knew V's secret, warning them not to interfere again.

No matter the outcome, Project Condin was suspended and all teams were ordered to withdraw. Not long after the Peralezes fired SSI.
