 Halligan grunted. ''"This the same guy who shot down three [[Ship_Dropship_USN_Dragoon|dropships]] with a [[Weapon_HSW_ULA_RID|RID launcher]]?"''

 [[Map_Errah|Errah]] was just another fire-baked rock corewards of the Antarean border. A small colony herding meat stock - two, maybe three thousand heads on the whole sphere. Inbred locals, nasty hybrid insects imported to balance the ecology (although what part of a balanced ecology a foot long scorpion who's mating cry sounded like babies being murdered was supposed to fit didn't bear thinking about)

-He nodded at Freyss ''"Aye. Tough man his cousin. Last I heard he was holding [[System_Taurean_Lastford|lastford]] base against the 33rd fleet with only a saber and a herd-poke"'' His jungle boy grin lit up his dark face with a slash of white as he winked at the indignant Freyss. ''"Oh drop off man"'' Freyss scowled. ''"You think its so freakin funny sitting out here in this all fresco oven just cause your skin don't burn."'' Absently he picked at the scarred tops of his ears. ''"I wish I was in the four oh fives with Jammeh. He's getting all the action. Hal you'd think division would approve a transfer?"''

 ''"Yeah I can see it now..."'' Halligan turned and swept majestically at the air with his canteen ''"Arn Freyss, Crack Spaceborne Assault Commando. No job Too Small"'' he watched Freyss's face drop. He sighed. ''"Seriously kid, you don't want to be in no hardcore outfit. Give it some time and see how you go."''

Arwin continued.  ''"shit man i know a guy thought he was such a bad ass, joined up, went through all the combat special courses he could. used to view all the archive discs and trainers every frickin night. big guy too. worked out alot, boosted straight through physical like he was a god damn Araen Jumpin Bird."''

 the dude had been hit in the jaw with an SD round, his left arm was gone above the elbow. all his armour was like, shredded and embedded in him... and the guy's still trying to go for his gun.  i mean this guy's a mess. he aint gonna last another five minutes but he's still going for his gun because he thinks it will be worse for him if we capture him.  so our guy has to shoot him. only he's totally freaked out and he's shakin real bad so he misses. shoots the guy in the leg. has to shoot him again. and again. six shots it took to kill this poor bastard, and all the while he's still trying to go for his gun."''
