Gründer Industries - The Past is Back

[Gründer Industries]

Deggert Brown: "Another one bites the Dust!" Would be perfect for the planet.
Dominik Mertins: Best shuttle service every, with three men in a Havoc Bomber Cockpit. I hope, you know where we find this Rheinland Agent..
Deggert Brown: Don't worry, I know her..
Dominik Mertins: Do you know, how many times I heard something like this?..
Deggert Brown: Mhh...Ah, we should go to a small storage depot.

*Twenty Minutes later, in a front of a small storage house

Dominik Mertins: Since we began with this search, I visited a half dozen storage rooms, houses or whatever.
Deggert Brown: It would be better, with a few more people....
Dominik Mertins: Sure, hire some. Maybe, we will find a few Freelancers or Hunters...
Deggert Brown: Uh, Hunter. No thank you.
Dominik Mertins: I have a little question, how did you meet this Agent?
Deggert Brown: Well, it was an accident. We jumped through, a jumphole in Omega-7...and collided almost with her Wraith. She was mad at us, and wanted to alert the Military..
But, somehow in the mid of the wild conversation she suddenly stopped her rage. Then she said, if we want to leave this system without trouble we should hand her over a few information about the Omicrons.
Dominik Mertins: *laughs* Typical Bundesdienst. I guess, she had a light bulb above her head.
Deggert Brown: Thought the same thing, and a few information about the Omicrons wouldn't hurt. That was the begin of our little agreement. A few information exchange from time to time..
Dominik Mertins: *sighs* You really trust here, well.
Deggert Brown: Don't worry, if something happens we will just shoot our way free....
Dominik Mertins: Eh, something we should avoid..I don't want to end in a Liberty Prison with only Sunbucks Coffee and Donuts.

*Deggert opens the door

Deggert Brown: Mhh, the light is on..
Dominik Mertins: Really trustworthy...

*Both head deeper into the storage house and suddenly the light turns off*

Dominik Mertins: You know, I expected something like this...

Unknown Voice: Deggert? Why are you not alone?..
Deggert Brown: He is my bodyguard and my babysitter at the same time.
*Dominik facepalms
Deggert Brown: At least, I didn't do something like you with the usual "I surprise you with turning off light and ask stupid question."
Unknown Voice: That is true, but you know. I have to be careful with all the LSF Agents running around...

*The lights turn on and a women around 30 walks slowly to both of them.

Deggert Brown: I must say, the Daumann stuff is sometimes impressive..
Susanne Weirich: Night Vision, funny and useful.
Dominik Mertins: Aha, Frau Weirich.
Susanne Weirich: Your bodyguard is a Rheinlander...
Deggert Brown: Yep, to 100% original made on Stuttgart as far as a I know...
Dominik Mertins: Thanks Deggert, why don't you give her my postal code and my adress to her.
Susanne Weirich: Is not really necessary, I know you already.
Dominik Mertins: You saw me in a bar, correct?
Susanne Weirich: Bad taste of humor. Nein, I was the military agent during the operation Schwarzer Brief.
*Dominik shakes his head
Susanne Weirich: Ja, Herr Mertins. I know many things about you. Mandelorian, Military, Police even Volkrevolution... and much more.
Deggert Brown: So many groups? Sounds like a nomad in term of, I don't have a real home anymore.
Susanne Weirich: Anyway, I guess you are not here to bring him to me...
Deggert Brown: No, not really. I'm more her for a few information.
Susanne Weirich: Infos? You know the price. Information for Information.
Deggert Brown: I would like to give you information but I'm not a Order Captain anymore. I'm now, just a jerk travelling with a Rhinelander from door to door for a few coins.
Susanne Weirich: That is rather sad, but without infos for me, no infos for you. So simple is that...
*Susanne turns around and walks away from them
Deggert Brown: I didn't want to play my trump card, but I want information about Gründer...and a project which is called Vasura.
*She suddenly stops and turns around.
Susanne Weirich: Come with me, we will go to my hideout.

*Ten minutes later, only a few kilometers away in a small house

Deggert Brown: Really comfortable here...
Susanne Weirich: It is only for a few days. You said, Vasura and Gründer.
Deggert Brown: I don't want to tell you, but Lisa Mertins thinks someone is working on the project again...
Susanne Weirich: Another traitor or rather search terrorist....What are you doing?. What do you want with this weapon? Use it on your own?
Deggert Brown: Nothing..we want to cancel this project forever...and she is not only one. Someone with the name Gallenstein is helping us and Gründer Boss as well.
Susanne Weirich: Mhh, President working together with terrorist, traitors and a lousy Order Captain, but Gallenstein is another caliber. If Gallenstein works with you together, it must be something huge.
Dominik Mertins: Huge isn't a word, since we started the search. We were bombed, almost killed or even buried to death...
Susanne Weirich: *sighs* and know, you are expecting a miracle from a little agent?
Deggert Brown: Every information would help us...
Susanne Weirich: I must disappoint you in this case, I know only a few things.. Vasura was something, I should keep an eye on it. I know, only the accident and a faction or group which is called Golden Axe. I tried to get a few information on this, but two of my informers died and other one disappeared. First, I thought das Wilde played a game with me, but then I realized normal ones did this... Once, they tried to kill me, but failed...Later, the Nachrichtendienst replaced me with another Agent. Kevin Stender. Rather a strange man, I knew him only from a few meetings on Berlin. I think, he had something to do with this Gründer Stuff....
Dominik Mertins: Wait, you said Kevin Stender.
Susanne Weirich: Ja, and now?
Dominik Mertins: Gotcha, I know him. He was a former bomber pilot in the military and he later left the military. Family stuff.
Susanne Weirich: You know him really well, but with the fact, he had no family...
Deggert Brown: That is something with what we can work...
*Dominik nods
Susanne Weirich: Before you leave, do me a favor and give me information about this case, so every two or three days.
Deggert Brown: Well, now excuse us...We have a new job.
Dominik Mertins: Nice one, but you forgot one detail. We have no idea, where we should start...
Deggert Brown: Let me work on this, we should head back to Coronado now. Now, I wish you good bye, Susanne.
Dominik Mertins: Hopefully not soon.
*both leaves the house
Susanne Weirich: Well, first time I wish someone good luck.

*On the way back to the landing platform

Dominik Mertins: Verdammt, I have the feeling we are in a circle...
Deggert Brown: The scary part in this case, all those people are connected with you, Lisa or myself.
Dominik Mertins: I have an idea, we will visit someone on Manhatten on the way back to Coronado.
Deggert Brown: Who?
Dominik Mertins: Old friend of mine, I gambled with him a few times in a bar during my Merc time.
*Deggerts shakes his head and sighs. He watched up to the dusty and brown sky of Pittsburgh with only one thing in his mind.
"Hopefully, we will able to stop this and also, I'm back in the business and I have my freedom back




William Riser: We are here, since a few days in this with colonials contaminated system. Nothing, not even sign..of the professor or something else.
Charlie Seifert: What are you expecting, a miracle?..But I must admit, on the Barrier Station no one else was able to drink 20 bottle of beer in only a few minutes.
Wiliiam Riser: You are just envy...
Charlie Seifert: Nope, not really. So but back to the business..I got a few information from the bartender. He said, sometimes a Rhinlander is in his bar, he wasn't able to describe him precise. The only thing he also mentioned, he was once or twice accompanied by a woman black hair, normal height, not fat or skinny..just mid size.
William Riser: The IQ of this bartender must be really high, well at least it is something...Was the woman a Rhinelander?
Charlies Seifert: Mhh, the man couldn't say that...
William Riser: I have an idea, one man will watch this bar and wait for the Rhinelander and his beauty. I bet they will come again.. By the way, send Franky. This jerk and smoked my cigars and took my expensive Chatonel Wine from Gallia.
Charlies Seifert: Anything else, Mister Gallia..
William Riser: Yes. If he fail, he shouldn't come back, better would be to run away into the Omicron...
*Charlie turns away from William
William Riser: By the way, if he is already on the Barrier Station, he could bring me a few bottles of this beer...
