Week 1/1 - Status Report
So we got to Claybrook. Nice enough place, but we are very small fish. I hate paperwork, but at least by the time I got here we've gotten the new company name all squared away and registered, and nice even million in the bank.
So there are five us pilots left of the old crew. The rest, well I ain't that much more than a Rookie myself, but heavens they are so green they make me feel almost thirty. But then, that is why Mitch left us all behind on the helljob. So who are my crew?
Well there is "Graceland" - Maria Robertson, aka The Kuritan Krook as some of the old timers used to call her.
Next "Khepri" Christine Bolton, a Capellan just trying to make a living. But what kind of callsign is "Khepri"?
"Rifle" Willem Long - A Taurian "noble", but he wears it so lightly not even Darius has taken offence yet. Also, can't hit a Fortress drop-ship at point blank range.
Finally there is "Warlord" Concepcion Persson, who is most happy with a tech manual out when he's meant to be driving.
And there's me of course.
Give mechwarriors, and five mechs.
Enforcer ENF-4R
Vindicator VND-1R
Panther PNT-9R
Firestarter FS9-H
Spider SDR-5V
Not the more frightening line-up you ever saw, but it'll do.
I've told Farah to start trying to sort out the power core of this flying wreck. She's made it here, so while she needs bracing the Argo ain't likely to fly apart on us just yet. But one really bad power spike ... given how quickly the good doctor got to work I think she agrees.
Darius meanwhile says he has us our first contract. Going to check that out now. See ya soon.
