A/N So I was thinking... WHY IN THE HELL AREN'T THERE ANY BATTLE TECH/MECH WARRIOR - STAR WARS CROSS OVERS?!! It would be so epic! So I slapped thogether this little one shot to see how peopel will react, Gimme reviews I'll write a combat scene, if not *shrugs* was worth a try
"What difference is there between you mercs and the other scum that offer their services to the highest bidder?"
That question had been asked to Colonel Liam Harkinson many a time and each time it was the same answer, despite being in a completely different galaxy Liam had always from the beginning worked for what he thought was right. It certainly didn't make him a great crusader of nobility and all that, that job was of the Jedi, those warrior monks whom preached peace and order.
What it did make Liam and the 1st Seven Hills Overlanders mercenary unit was a very unusual bunch of mercenaries that was made apparent after Carver V. Giving the officer sitting in front of him a hard stare, Liam replied.
"Well for one we aren't like regular mercs, we hold values of honour and morality... Most of the time, that and unlike most mercenaries we have enough fire power to decimate an entire army, from what I've seen so far here that won't be much of a challenge"
Liam replied sincerely, as if to emphasise his point the towering Fafnir assault 'mech outside "accidentally" stepping on a T-130 fighter tank, crushing it under 100-metric tonnes of pure Ferro-Fibrous armoured assault battlemech.
The officer's eyes boggled while outside the soldiers all milled about wondering what the hell just happened.
"Sorry 'bout that!"
A distinctly girlish voice called out from the' mech through a loudspeaker.
"Oops. I hope you and I can see eye to eye on our employment contract. Because if the Republic won't hire us we'll be out of a job, and we really do need to keep food on the table so were up to the highest bidder. And let me remind you I came to you because I was expecting a fair deal, not disrespect for my chosen profession"
Liam finished laying out his intentions to the Republican officer, he merely nodded shocked and finished his report and sent it to Republic HIGHCOM while Liam leaned back in his chair admiring how much Lieutenant Diaz and Master Guns Cash had taught him in making deals.
This would be an interesting deal indeed...
