Yeah, I can sympathize. Honestly, that's why I didn't make any guesses - I'm pretty much never right. :P

With the concept art released, it looks like they're going to be ISS Wildcats. relatively standard weapons, good armor.

I wonder if they're full-on military police instead of the Party's police that the Celestial Guards are?

Nimbus Grenades? Part of me hopes they're just renamed zero vis grenades to keep in the theme of N3 simplifying things. Another part of me wishes them to be something like swarm grenades but with stun effect.

Nimbus cloud, a cloud that produces precipitation

Wet grenades? Make the area slippery? Persistent like swarm grenades, movement is at -6 physical, stunned if you fail? Speculating is fun! :mrgreen:

I think you're on to something. Currently the only MI in ISS is the Sun-Tze.
New agents linkable with Sun-Tze, you heard it here first. :jihad:

I am not sure, the agent looks really individually and flamboyant, pretty much like the other agents, so I would expect them to be a link team type unit. Those mostly look more anonymous regular soldier like. (I know Hsien can link, but they are odd agents for me).

I still think this could be a Prowler type of unit, or Medium Daofei, which would fit with the HMG. ;)

I am not sure though, is there a flashy unit with Camo? Its hard to say, the Daofei is painted camo like, but has this braid. Raidens aren't that Camo either, and Bran looks flashy, but he is almost naked. Other than that, I am not sure. Prowlers and Intruders look pretty normal, but not flashy.

If it was an HI it would have exposed exo-muscle fibers in the groin like all the other HI. The small number of exposed muscle fibers is consistent with Sun Tze v2, who is MI.

The weapons options (ML, HMG, combi, boarding shotgun, and nimbus grenades) indicate it's going to be a pretty basic troop-type. I'm hoping that as MI it would be comparable to the Wildcats, because the ISS really needs another specialist option or two for ITS play.

I seriously am hoping in a MI specialist link. Something the ISS will benefit from greatly, if you don't like to gear up on ALEPH additions.
