La Sous Terre (French for "The Underground"), abbreviated as LST, is a French weapon manufacturer in Call of Duty: Mobile.
Manufacturer Document[]
From its inception, La Sous Terre (commonly abbreviated: “LST”) set out to distance itself from its contemporaries: the monolithic weapons manufacturers firmly lodged in the thinking of the past. LST boasts a staff encompassing nearly all religious and ethnic backgrounds, greatly aiding its global reach. A simple investigation into its unorthodox structure finds that this new way of thinking manifests in other ways, for example: 1) underground night clubs, especially those that cater to elite operators (see: “Soldier's Paradise, et al.”) are frequently employed as intelligence gathering and deal-making opportunities. 2) While its weapons do not bear a maker's mark, every LST designer has specific artistic or design flourishes that identify a weapon's creator to those familiar with the signifiers. And 3) LST's most high-profile new addition was the former UAC agent who operates under the callsign “Bulldozer,” acting as its Security Chief and Community Outreach officer – relying on his contacts within the military world to strengthen commercial and personal ties within that community.
It has been observed that being employed by LST is almost exclusively through referral by standing members. Bulldozer, for example, was brought into LST after its member Klepto (real name unknown) supported his inclusion and managed his admittance into the organization. Most recently, and controversially, Bulldozer was instrumental in bringing mercenaries Demir and Killgore into the organization. Though they have histories in the illicit private military underworld, involving questionable actions in the Las Vegas Exclusion Zone and several unsanctioned conflicts in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, both appear to be seeking a more legitimate path, and using LST as the vehicle for that redemption. Not everyone in the LST welcomes them equally, but it has been LST's star designer: Girasol, who has been their most vocal supporter. Demir's respectable history as part of the UAC, before its disbanding cast him into the mercenary underworld, is sometimes overshadowed by the more checkered past of his partner-in-arms Killgore, who has been associated with some of the more disreputable mercenary groups and private militaries currently active. But as part of LST's growing in light of more aggressive moves against it by its competitors, they are welcome additions.
Anyone who pays attention to the grim world of arms manufacturing has seen the meteoric rise of LST. They would also know that such fast success toes not win it any friends in the arms manufacturing world. In fact, that world is well known for its industrial espionage, kidnappings, ransoming, and mysterious disappearances, so cutthroat and ties to organized crime has the world of arms manufacturing and sales become. Though it places nowhere near its greatest competitors in terms of revenue or sales figures, its members' negative impression of Atlas and Kurohana has been made publicly known, as have its accusations against those corporations for intentionally undermining it at every turn. The war of words between these companies is a matter of public knowledge, but less known is the LST's covert support of groups who exist in protest of these weapons companies: the Atlas Corporation in particular, and how the LST has provided material support and security to these groups, even using its hacking skills (notably Klepto) to reprogram nearby billboards to display anti-Atlas Corp slogans.
The first thing anyone notices about LST weapons is their styling and cosmetics. LST excels in cosmetic furniture in a way that no other arms manufacturer has today or in the past. Durable polymers, carbon fiber, holographics, and illuminated elements combine to create weapons that are not only functional but eye-grabbing. This derives from their start as a boutique manufacturer for top-tier mercenaries (who could afford LST's price tag) and rich weapons collectors who loved having rare or unique custom LST designs hanging on their walls. But the engineers and designers at LST have exceedingly high standards for the quality of the weapons that leave their shops, and so don't want their work to be characterized by superficial characteristics alone: each weapon is finely machined to exacting standards using only the finest quality materials under strict guidelines. The weapons must perform in battle, and more than that must out-perform the competition in every instance. They are well on their way to achieving this. But until they find a way to mass-produce their weapons or cut corners in the production and thus reduce their costs, their weapons will only ever continue to remain in the hands of those of means.
The primary design studio for La Sous Terre is located in France, in the center of Paris, or more specifically beneath the streets of Paris, in a well-defended, and hidden, workshop recaptured from the many abandoned catacombs that underlie the French capital. But LST is fully decentralized, having numerous smaller workshops and office spaces spread all over the world. Despite this, the employees of LST are rather tightly knit, sharing a common set of beliefs in the company's independence and mission to deliver high-quality weapons to its many clients. The company is very vouth-centric, with its workforce average age being twenty-seven, and this fosters a very vibrant and active company culture - far more than most witness in other companies - and turnover is very low. With a corporate structure that lacks a central leadership, with a very flat hierarchy, all major decisions are made through a democratic process where each employee votes for the course of action the company will take, and individual disputes are resolved communally. The downside of this is that LST employees do have a tendency to form cliques, typically around major projects, that outsiders inside the company can find difficult to penetrate.
Hey gang. So as all of you know I'm ex-UAC. That said, some of you have been asking me about the disappearances and strange deaths hitting former members of the UAC. I know the conspiracy boards have been filling up with a lot of theories and other nonsense, but I'm here to tell you that there's some truth to it. These are my friends and former colleagues, so you can be damn sure I've been paying attention, sending out feelers, looking up old contacts. What I'm getting back has only made me more concerned. Recently, I contacted a friend who was there with me at the attack on New Vision City, who represents an organization investigating what's been happening and what SHE'S telling me is keeping me up at night. There are some major moves being made by some VERY powerful people that will directly impact the lives of you, me, and everyone you know. I'm asking for a general vote: Invi████████es of the PHANTOM CORPS to present their findings to the LST, pursuant to BINDING INITIATIVES to address CAUSES and provide SUPPORT/y]. @ReneLaFou @TomasNoir @betteLeBomb for vis.
Recent rumblings internally requires me to state: apart from a specific blacklist of individuals who we KNOW are actively hostile to the Club, its staff, or the LST, the club policy is that we do not limit access to anyone based on their race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, gender █████on, OR legal status. There has been commentary on the internal LST chat that known fugitive, Alexander "Cipher" McDaniels has been frequenting the club. Some have raised concerns that it might bring official heat down on the club, others have even expressed interest in bagging the guy and turning him in for the reward. On the first comment, MANY of you are either fugitives from your native countries or are on a watch list of one type or another. Secondly, we in the LST will NEVER breach the confidentiality of our club patrons and as Cipher has only ever been a well-behaved and lucrative attendee of the club, LST will continue to have a "no comment" policy towards his presence. So long as he continues to be so, his safety at our club is unquestioned.
Attention underworlders, we've got a special guest coming to the club this week for an extended stay. None other than our silent partner and biggest donor, Lizbeth Warnholdt, will be in town and as she's a known partier and (allegedly) a skilled DJ, we'll be hosting her for the duration of her time in Paris. As always, and with special attention in this case, observe a 100% anonymity policy as to her presence, involvement, or even knowledge of this person as an official investor into LST. For those of you new to LST or who don't interest themselves in LST history or internal goings-on, Lizbeth Warnholdt, known in some circles as "Kestrel," is a wealthy heiress from Germany who's long been a fan of LST products, such that she's invested significant capital into our collective. More than just a child of wealth with more money on her hands than she knows what to do with, she's got some interesting political and diplomatic connections that could help, or hinder, the LST, so everyone needs to be on their best behavior. Sincerely, your security chief, 'Dozer.
