Right so the RP is underway, you can now begin posting your intros! The four recruits Lily, Jaime, Lee and Krauss are in the townhouse and the other 3 are making their way to the townhouse (seperately) once everyone has posted we can start on the weapon loadout.
Tim Taggart and Mack Yancy had now left the Red Raven bar and were in the car on the way to Taggart & Hobbes townhouse. Mack was still out of it but was able to read the dossiers somewhat coherently on the drive, Neo-Bay's lights were drenching the street in a purple hue, it was somewhat relaxing. Mack still had a lot of questions and he was half sober enough to start asking them.
Counclima...er Tim, where exactly did you find these people? This is some high level operative stuff, way above my pay grade even when I was working...
Tim smiled as he shifted gears and the car began to enter on to a freeway.
Once you save up large sums of money, good employees seem to find you. They were interested in the salary and the cause, I did have to a little bit of scouting, but only because I needed to be sure of who I was working with...do you think you could work with them? Mack Yancy got annoyed, he felt like this was all being sprung on him, dragged into something he never signed up for.
Work with? I'm retired Tim. You think you could've given me notice before springing me out of the Red Raven to meet some random hired goons? You know how I feel about the freakin private security sector, why spend all that money, and bring me out here for nothing?
Tim, checked his GPS and sighed, they were almost at the townhouse and Mack didn't seem too convinced. He decided to come clean and began to explain the purpose of the new squad.
Combat Operate Private Service, Its not a firm, or a cartel, or a security branch. It's something new, something you could get on board with, Lieutenant Yancy. It abbreviates to C.O.P.S. which should give you a clue to what its about, after Hobbes moved in he had the idea that people miss the police force, but we cant bring it back, so we wanted to try a different version, a hard and effective squad to clean up the city without any of the red tape of the police commissioner or congress. We don't need to be anarchists to make a radical change. But we do need the most decorated and focused police officer who wasnt bought out by a private company, you're the only one who still wants to do the right thing, and once upon a time, before all this booze, you were extremely good at your job, we need you Mack Yancy.
Tim's words seemed to hit Mack like a shot of detox, this was crazy, a private service for the greater good? no red tape? A handpicked team? Seemed almost too ideal to be true, but Mack knew Tim Taggart was the type to pull off something this crazy and make it real. Mack burped loudly and grumbled a little under his breath as he began to flick through the dossiers.
hm....apart from this..Lily Martin these people dont have any police experience, they just seem to be mercenaries, you say they are in it for the cause? I only know a few people personally who would be willing to do such a radical job, no matter what the pay?
Tim Taggart was now back in his full on comfortable smile as he took a left into the residential district of Neo-Bay.
They may not all be cops, but they've all suffered because of this broken lawless system we find ourselves in, I can vouch for every one of them, Lily, Krauss, Lee and Jaime are the best of the best out of what I found. But this isnt a team of five, you mentioned you know a few people who be willing to do such a radical job? Well I know who all three of them are, and they are on their way to the townhouse, you're in for a surprise Mack.
Mack grabbed his head as it started to ache, what had he got himself into?
Craig Hobbes had just returned from the kitchen, he had ice water with him, and the 4 recruits had just arrived, sitting and making themselves comfortable in the somewhat messy townhouse/apartment. Lily, Lee, Jamie and Krauss had not spoken yet but were just finding places to sit. Craig looked at the four and chuckled as he served them the ice water. He spoke with an unfiltered British accent that had a curious tone.
I'm not sure how long they'll be now, but I've been given word that 3 more are on their way here too, apparently they have all met the 'famous' Mack Yancy in one way or another, should lead to an interesting dynamic. By the way, as you can see this place is a mess, I would say its because we want to keep a low profile but its more because Tim never cleans after coming home from work, and I'm nobodies housemaid. Feel free to chit-chat while we wait for Tim and Mack.
Craig Hobbes walked upstairs to feed his goldfish, humming the tune to his own theme song on the way.

Urban Racing Legend Male Cast
Name: Gerry 'Mako' Mak Age: 21 Description: A young man from one of the worst parts of the city, his only possession of any value is his chopper.

Name: Lucian Graves Age: 25 Description: Lucian got into racing pretty late, he grew up very competitive, but in more 'upper class' sports such as chess and fencing.
