@DarkspleenSuper duper!

@Silverwind Blade
She looks good! Her funds are off though; we're stating with 600,000c, minus the FRAME and equipment costs. You'd have 88,750 left over.
However, our missions will pay very well and you can always sell off obsolete gear and FRAMEs. Money shouldn't be a problem for most of us.

She's ready for the character tab otherwise!

Samigina - War Room - 0600 hours

Richard Bentz thumbed through the pilot profiles on his datapad, giving each one last look over before the candidates filed into the room. They were a diverse collection, hailing from Sardonia, Sodorya and Emarra, just to name a few. One way or another, they had found the Preying Panthers, or rather, the Preying Panthers found them. They'd soon find out whether they had the chops to be Panther material.

The former captain gave his adjutant a dry smile, setting the pad down and asking, “What do you think, Cecilia? You're going to have a larger team to manage now. I trust you to be able to handle them all.”

“They haven't passed the evaluation yet,” she scoffed, taking the pad from him and cradling it in her arm. “But don't you think this was a risky idea? Using this job as a test? What happens if they're not up to snuff and botch it?”

“They'd better not botch it, that's four million creds on the line!” Bentz laughed. “Using an actual op as an evaluation is the best way to measure their usefulness. If they're any good, they'll be able to handle it. Think of it like on-the-job training.”

Cecilia's shoulders slumped a little as she heaved a sigh from her nose. “And if they can't handle their weight, I'll have to whip them into shape for you.”

“Of course; that's what I pay you for!” Bentz looked down at his watch and jabbed a thumb at the door to the meeting room. “I think it's about that time.”

His adjutant turned on her heel and put a hand to the panel on the wall, sliding the door open with a hiss. On the other side, the handful of newcomers, along with some Panther veterans, sat in a small waiting area.

“Take a seat,” she said flatly, directing them to the chairs that were lined around the room.

The pilots entered, and Bentz watched them file in, matching the profiles he'd just read to the faces. He had high hopes for this crew; the Panthers needed the additional manpower after attrition had taken its toll over the years. With a larger and more diverse team, there were more opportunities to find suitable missions. Once they'd all been seated, Cecilia reverted back to her position at Richard's side.

“Good morning. I'm Richard Bentz, as many of you already know, and I'm the CO of the Preying Panthers. For those of you who are new to the unit, this is the third year of the Panthers' existence, and we're already ranked very highly on the charts. I expect only the best from each of you, and hope that, if hired, you maintain the unit's good reputation.”

Bentz flashed a small controller at the wall, bringing up a screen displaying a GPS-like map of major roadways.
“For those of us who are already Panthers, this will be a mission just like any other. For the new guys, this is your evaluation to see if you have what it takes to join the unit. There's a lot of money riding on this op, if it's any extra incentive. Cradle Dynamics has requested that we intercept a Paloka Industries shipping convoy, passing between New Lundregen to Kent.”

Bentz highlighted the route on the map with a laser and continued, “I don't know what's inside, but it's not a concern of mine, nor is it yours. All we've been told is the cargo is very valuable to Cradle and it is imperative we secure it. Given the importance of the cargo, it's bound to be guarded. You're free to engage the security force, but do not damage the cargo.”

As Richard wrapped up the briefing, the screen displayed stills of delivery vehicles with Paloka Industries' logo, presumably the target convoy.

“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?”

Update, it's up on the old spot

Sure, My bad.
I'll get to it right away. it's ready tomorrow if not earlier, it should be nice by then.
I gladly will expand upon this as I was actually more worried that it might be just too long.
Also, I'll post the rehashed and longer version on the Char page straight if that is ok after your approval, I'll rehash the History in a way as to not have a memory loss and more clearer roots.

@Windicator

That'll do; you can add him to the Characters tab!

FRAMEs (Mech combat, political intrigue & corporate struggles)

@Aristo I figured that might be a problem, so I plan to simply change it so her cult / cell was still active after the reform if that is fine. I might add a bit of flavor to the backstory as well.

@OppositionJ

That works! Emarran Neo-fascists could make for an interesting development later on.
You can go ahead and paste your sheets in the Char tab once you're done!

@OppositionJ
I like Ryder, although by the time she was born, the EC would have already been democratic. It's my fault for saying "several decades," but I had 30-40 years in mind. But the rest of her backstory is good and can be kept under a different motive.

@Windicator
Edward's FRAME is fine, but I'd like to ask if you can embellish your character sheet. It's fine if you'd like him to be a more mysterious character or have a foggy past, but I'd like some more detail and thought as to what sort of person he is and how he came to be where he is now; especially since we're in Advanced.

@Silverwind Blade
No worries; since you mentioned wanting to play a vet/someone with experience, missing the evaluation mission isn't a big deal. You'll be gone on an errand or some personal time!

Everyone:
I'm writing up the first IC post and you can get to posting today! Everyone will be gathered in a conference room on the Samigina and Bentz will go over the evaluation. Immediately after, you're free to make introductions to each other and get your machines ready for the op.

Hi!

I was looking around this site and I came across this particular RP and I'm looking to possibly join.
As background information my time zone is GMT +2.

If I'm accepted I'll probably get to doing a character in 8-9 hours but don't let me hold you from starting if you feel like doing so.

To @Aristo and Players
Sincerely
Windicator

@Windicator

No problem! Drop your sheet here when it's done and I'll give it a look.
