Tales of the Mandalorians

[Flo]

"Recruits"....."New recruits"...."The new guys"...."Recruits"....


"What the heck, I am sick of reading this word!.....That stupid bounty-boom; I wish it never happened."

The bounty-boom - the new cuss of the banker. Suddenly everybody was offering a bounty on someone else. You had even to be afraid of a bounty on your head if you looked at somebody the wrong way.

"The new Goldrush! - Great times has come." it was titled in the BHG-Weekly - what a stupid piece of junk anyways; the Mandalore only subscribed it for the page 4 girls - "Get rich with easy work! Only press the firebutton!"

Ha! Easy work was all those Bountyhunters could do. Dha Piruna could not really count the number of running or destroyed Bountyhunter-ships he has seen in the past months. No honor, no dignity. HIding behind their.....well, he zoned out again.

The recruits. They were coming. Rejected from the Bountyhunters because they were "too rude".
"Heh, "too skilled" would fit better." the mandalore once told him. Yes, he the mandalore accepted everyone in their ranks. He even saw a good pilot in a rat.
Actually those recruits really were some rats. They came there big mouthed and expected to get everything for free. "Where is mah money? I will shoot 20 corsairs! No, 30!"
And that stupid Mandalore believed them. He gave them everything for free. A housing, a ship, catering....but one thing they lacked of: Bounties.

If all the targets were not shot down because the hunters skill was greater, he just was overwhelmed by their sheer number. Confused by their own numbers those silly idiots sometimes shot themselves or - more tragically - innocent civilians.

That made the people rethink about all the bounties and most were recalled.

That silly bounty-boom was over before it really had begun and now the Mandalorians had a bunch of new pilots condemned to do nothing.
"No problem we have still a lot of money. No time, I got to go back to the pool...erm...boring work." the Mandalore called him from Curacao once.

But there was hope....

With all the Bountyhunters spread over Sirius and the QCRF fighting at the borders to Kusari, Bretonia was lacking of some lawful armed forces. The OPG used that and advanced into Bretonian space more and more. They were already seen above Planet New London. Good and easy money.

And there were the [censored]. Their offer towards the Madalorians was even better and the first diplomatic approaches were more than succesful.

Finally the recruits could show their skills in shhoting down 20 ships down at once. And finally "recruits" would be a nice word to read again.


(ooc: To the new recruits: Don't take this too serious. From what I've seen you are all at least decent pilots)
