The following is a recording of a conversation between two UN officials looking through some dossiers for unknown reasons.
RECORDING START
Voice 1: *ruffling of papers can be heard* "Right so... what've we got here. Christ, if these are anything like the last ones..."
Voice 2: *soft chuckle* "Nah man. These two ain't boring stick up their ass soldiers. The dudes definitely a wildcard."
Voice 1: "Wildcard... hmm..." *more paper rustling* "Lets see here... Joseph RedCloud... what a name. Nevris eh? Explains the name, that place is famed for its dustclouds. Right well, some piloting experience. Penchant for explosives? The hell? They're just making it seem ominous... we'll check his record later. Hmm... goes by the alias Sho... mercenary huh? No affiliation listed... ahh he's freelance. Looks like a smug shit."
Voice 2: *stifling laughter* "Jeeze you haven't even met him... but he's from blackout. You've heard the stories about that town right? Bunch of loonies worshipping a corpse or something? But yeah he's got a bit of a criminal record. Currently locked up for blowing up a warehouse..."
Voice 1: "A criminal then? Why the hell is he even being considered?"
Voice 2: "It was a mob owned warehouse... overheard top brass saying something about spying for the Weiv. You didn't hear that from me though... but anyway. He's got skills, demolition expert, tough too. Heard he gets his ass beat regularly but he still goes out and gets hurt more. Might be good with the resonance, that kinda willpower."
Voice 1: "Maybe... hmm. Not just piloting expertise it would seem... pretty good vehicle skills in general. Won a race or two, wonder why he didn't keep going with that?"
Voice 2: "Blowing things up for money pays better?"
Voice 1: *Sound of head scratching* "Alright what about this other one... Gabrielle Ellson, also known as Trigger. She a crook too? Hmm... what the hell? Ex-Darkstar? I didn't think that was a group you could leave alive..."
Voice 2: "Wh-why not? They're just a merc company right? She probably got fed up with it?"
Voice 1: "I heard they still have some of their tendencies from when they were street thugs... including keeping people for life. How many ex darkstars you ever hear of?"
Voice 2: "Yeah alright... but anyway. She's like, gunslinger extraordinaire..."
Voice 1: "What are you, her fanboy? Hmm, 'excellent leadership skills' I see... experienced with a manner of firearms. Procurer of alien tech? Sounds like a dangerous hobby... Attitude problems? Fuck they mean by that?"
Voice 2: "I dunno... maybe she's a grumpy asshole?"
Voice 1: "Hmmph... I know a boss like that... Looks like the brass thinks she might be good for keeping our buddy Sho in check. Why on earth do the higher ups want a crook with grenades and a glorified handler?"
Voice 2: "Beats me... you know the whispers though. Some kinda teams being set up."
Voice 1: "Bah... whatever. Least they ain't boring soldiers. Well we'd best write down the t-l-d-r of their skills and all, get them sent off to those officials. Man why are we stuck with sifting through the dossiers? If they want idiots with guns they can just go visit earth..."
Voice 2: "Hey at least we're getting paid well. And I dunno... a skilled ex-darkstar and a guy who targets treasonous gangs could be useful."
Voice 1: "Pfft... What next? A tech-fetishist pilot and a grumpy slaver with a chainsaw? Would be nicer if the talent they're looking at was more UN centered... or at least more trustworthy."
