Disclaimer: I don't own. Anyway, I finally beat the game on the Steiner side, joining the wolf clan. It was hard, sometimes.
(I messed up the first time, this is the real chapter.)
John had passed all the tests and was on a drop ship flying to Eaton, his lance had three other members besides himself; Beowulf, Hannibal, and Bullseye. Specter knew that these guys weren't cheap, but from their stats, they were worth the money. John came into the bay where their two fleas, and two Osireses, and an two Chimeras and to top it off, two Ravens, were sitting in their spots. Hannibal was checking the one of the Chimeras and Bullseye and Beowulf were arguing over what 'mech they were going to use. John ran over to clear things up.
"Hey! Calm down, don't worry; I won't have my lance running around in fleas. I'm going to sell these and buy you better 'mechs." John informed them with a frustrated sigh.
"Oh,' Said Beowulf in his deep and highly accented voice, 'I guess that settles it, I'll give you advice on what to get."
"Hmm…' Interjected Bullseye, 'Well, I'll let you deal with that, I'm going over to play speed with Hannibal."
It took about two weeks to arrive at Eaton, and when they did, John went over to his computer to see what missions were available. He decided to choose a mission of convoy capture, seeing that there would be some nice salvage. John then went to the roster and sold his two fleas and an Osires and one of the Ravens, and bought a wolfhound and a Hellspawn, he still had about two million C-bills to pay for landing. John brought the ship down and booted out the fleas, and other 'mechs with glee, while welcoming in his new 'mechs.
"Well, I can guess which one he's taking…' Bullseye murmured to Beowulf while playing chess, 'Ten to one, he's giving us the two Chimeras."
John walked over and pulled a chair over to the table.
"I've decided to give you Beowulf the Hellspwn and you Bullseye, you get a chimera, use them well in the next mission and you may get better weaponry, I'll transfer your weekly salary to your accounts when the time comes, so down worry about being short on cash. I giving Hannibal the other Chimera."
Bullseye punched Beowulf lightly in the shoulder as he threw away his opponent's queen, "I told you so." He teased.
"So? I would've done the same.' Beowulf answered nonchalantly while punching Bullseye knocking him to the floor, 'Besides I got the Hellspawn." At that moment, they felt the ship descend.
"Come on!' John called, 'into your 'mechs!" John ran and got in and put on his neuro helmet. They all strapped in and powered up as the ship landed.
"All right,' Castle said calmly in the comms. 'They are about two kilometers away, follow your navs and just kill the guards and don't damage any of the convoy vehicles."
"Copy that Castle, keep us informed of the enemies' movements, open the doors!" Specter called in the comms. They all marched out and got in formation, John ordered his lance to pull around and selected a target vehicle for each of them, they all fired their lasers, and missiles into their targets utterly decimating them.
"Specter?' Castle inquired, 'There are enemy aircraft coming in your direction, divert and focus your attack on them."
"Got that. All right, you heard the lady! Open fire, take out those helicopters." They all obeyed and locked their reticules onto the hulls of the Nightwinds. They took them all out with little damage and halted the progress of the convoy.
"Great job, sir.' Castle said cheerily, 'I see that you salvaged several good weapons, machine guns, AC 10's, small, and medium lasers. And I must say, the pay was pretty good; your current balance stands at 4,469,150 C-Bills, this was a good day."
"Yes indeed.' Answered John, "A great day, I'll see what opportunities arrive next week, I'm off to rest." John jubilantly ran off and gave Hannibal a high-five while passing by.
