[font=Palatino Linotype]The videofeed starts up and reveals Viva in a crimson and stylish business-suit, sitting on that comfortable chair behind that particular glass table with a glass of Maltese Brandy in her hand and a sheepish grin on her face.

[color=#CCBBCC]'Ola amigos, it's time to do business!
Let's get started quickly so I can get back to being lazy and getting drunk, si? Si.

First up is comrade Walker, so, what can I say.
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. I'm actually impressed.
You keep on going and going and delivering aaand delivering.
That pleases Blue and it pleases me.
For your continued services, you're getting a hefty ten Million bonus along with the usual pay this time.
Have some fun with all that money, si?

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]She flashes a wide grin at the camera and then takes a sip of the Brandy before continuing.

[color=#CCBBCC]Next up is my darling Colonial, Kaze.
You know, Blue just simply adores all those fancy pictures you deliver.
She actually went as far as to say that you simply deliver the best footage there is.

In other words, she likes what you're doing, and she likes it a lot.
As a result of that you get the usual pay minus the part you asked to be sent to the joker.
And yeah, she did find the whole matter with the Security Force Cruiser to be very... amusing.
She also wants me to tell you to check your quarters for a special little surprise she's left in there for you.

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]A little smirk for Kaze later, Viva finishes her drink and puts the glass aside, quickly pulling a cigar out of her pocket and lighting it, resting her legs up on the table as she just relaxes for a moment before focusing on the camera again to continue.

[color=#CCBBCC]Comrade Aerelm, you'd be next.
Between us, comrade, whether you drink or not, we certainly don't mind.
As long as you keep doing good business more money and possibly more bonuses will be headed your way.
Besides, nothing wrong with celebrating a job well done, si?

And speaking of celebrating, amigo Ruthless, your turn.
The pay's on the way and I took the liberty of adding a little bonus so you can celebrate your first job done for Blue and me.
Welcome to the show, amigo.

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]She pauses a bit to keep smoking her cigar, a couple of magnificent smoke-rings escaping her lips before she goes on.

[color=#CCBBCC]And now we're at that particular part where comrade Garret and that comedian come into play.
As for you, Simon, I'm sure you are well-aware of the risks of a Mercenary life yourself, and one of those risks you're taking is that sooner or later you might upset someone.
Like that new kind of joker here, who quite lacks the style and finesse of the actual Joker.

I do've to admit, it was actually entertaining to see what you delivered, comedian, but I think that all these Mercenaries who've done work here, well.
I think that each and every single one of them is well-aware of the risks they take, just as Mister Garret surely is.

Which means that in the end, you didn't do anything special or unusual at all by getting Mister Garret's ship shot down.
No offense to you, Simon, but in the end it was just another bunch of guns being fired at you, like from a ship of the Blue Man Group.
So that isn't really anything fancy there.

But since you were the first one apparently who had to suffer from that entertainer's doing, I'll send you a little bonus.
Should be some nice extra motivation aside from vengeance, da?

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]And with a grinning Viva, the screen fades to black, long and hard.
