My players are auditioning mercs to join their crew for a big job coming up in Africa. They have been somewhat successful, and have managed to get a few guys who they don't think are twats.... then this guys comes in...
Player 1: "So... it says here you have had military experience, and have been stationed in some pretty hairy deployments, and you got the purple heart... I am impressed..."
Recruit: "Yeah I was in the Congo for a year, during the N'kimbe offensive."
Player 2: "Impressive, I heard that was a real shit box situation...."
Recruit: "It wasn't to bad, I mean there was a lot of action, but I wasn't too worried."
Player 3: "Really, you must have been pretty tough, I heard like 200 guys were killed in an hour just trying to take the hill at checkpost echo.... "
Recruit: "Yeah, lost a lot of good men.... even got wounded myself... that's how I lost my foot..."
Player 4: "Care to fill us in on the details of that?"
Recruit: "Um.... I would rather not..."
Player 1: "Look man, you don't have to tell us, but we have all had bits and shit blown off, And knowing how you handled yourself when it happened would help us to better evaluate if you can handle it in the field with us!"
Recruit: "Oh... Ok... well, it's kind of embarassing you see.... I was filing away some of the requisition requests and a morter hit nearby, knocking a vending machin over on my foot...."
Player 4: "You were filing...... and a vending machine fell on you.............?"
Recruit: "Yes it was really quite horrific, when I woke up they had shipped me to Cairo and were fitting me for a prosthetic..."
Player 2: "A vending machine fell on you????????"
Recruit: "Yeah, It was really heavy, must have just been filled I guess!"
Player 4: "I thought you were with a combat Unit!"
Recruit: "well... not technically.... I was a clerk typist... but afterwords I got this kick ass Cyberfoot... it's got all sorts of options, my pinky is a laser pointer, my index tow in a screwdriver/Drill, and I my big toe is a hammer...."
Player 1 (Pulling out his sidarm and chambering a round): "So.... who told you about this job...?
