A little info for y'all.
He has had to travel between Outreach, Galatea and Arc-Royal to get the info needed for new people that can be vet-ted properly.
He took the fledgling unit to Galatea on one such trip - the second trip - and sought out Group W to see if they could pick-up a secondary contract to go after any criminals or bandit gangs. Group W put them to work with decent contract rights.
They soon made a rumble of noise with the bandit gangs by capturing 2 seperate groups and bringing them in to the local authorities. It turns out that 1 of the gangs had a decent set of bounties on their heads, With the reward c-bills in hand, they paid a visit to a local used 'Mech sales yard. "Micks' Used 'Mech Emporium". Mick has some decent junk chassis' for sale: An BL6-KNT Black Knight, ON1-M Orion, ARC-2S Archer, WHM-7S Warhammer, CRD-3R Crusader, TDR-5S Thunderbolt, DRG-1G Grand Dragon, GRF-3M Griffin, TBT-7M Trebuchet, JVN-10P Javelin, COM-5S Commando, STG-3R Stinger, WSP-3M Wasp.
The only issue is still finding decent vet-able pilots to put in them.
