Jason sits in the waiting area somewhat removed from the other pilots studying specifications and blueprints of his own FRAME trying to work out what aftermarket modifications to do to it. he needed cash to fund the mods, but he enjoyed how the FRAMEs worked. What he enjoyed more was the amount of damage one could do. while he was studying someone announced that they where allowed in, he follows the rest of the pilots and finds his chair.

Jason sits listening to the briefing and mulling over the details. while he wasn't a grizzled veteran or anything FRAME combat wasn't foreign to him either. he liked the idea of a trial by fire, it fit his particular idiom. Jason didn't know anything about the Panthers Reputation but neither did he especially care, simply he wanted to make some cash and build a real war machine. 

“We're heading out in an hour,” Cecilia informed the pilots. “Until then, make any preparations to your FRAMEs and be ready to move. Any questions?” 

Jason asked in a neutral tone "is this a payed test?"
