"We found out about that the hard way... but what were the NTEC doing on Mars? Does it have something to do with those Ukrainians coming here? And what about this Matriarchy I keep hearing of?"

"I don't know why the NTEC was here, but the Matriarchy was basically the owners of this part of the solar system. They've fallen and another group is bound to step up."
-
"If this place has any tactical or material value, I promise you the NTEC will want to keep a hold on this. I've encountered them before, back when I was still with the Empire."
-
He nods. "Well, you ready to head out?" [spoiler]NTEC is Diamond Dogs right?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]No, New Trader Emergency Coalition. DD is a group for hire, currently hired by the Ukrainians. If you outbid them...[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]We ain't got no cash. And I got bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that.[/spoiler] [spoiler]DD is sorta like the Exalin team then?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]kind of, but only with more soldiers.[/spoiler] "Yeah. Ready. Lead the way."
-
[spoiler]K[/spoiler] He turns and heads out the door, towards the Tau base.
-
[b]you see Diamond Dogs soldiers handing weapons to the Tau soldiers. Tracking devices for their weaponry.[/b]

Python looks at Kor. "You approve of this?"
-
"I purchased it. Apparently it's the only way to deal with Skulls."
-
"Cool. How much is one of those guns?"
-
"It's not much the guns, it's more of the homing devices. Around 15k each."
-
He shrugs. "Not bad considering how valuable those things are."
-
"Yeah, hope they're as effective as they say."
-
Python starts walking up to one of the Diamond Dogs, pulling out his wallet. He opens it and pulls out 16k credits.
-
[i]"that's... not exactly how we do transactions but... I suppose..."[/i]
-
He chuckles. "If these things are gonna hit, I wanna hit back so...."
-
[i]"be warned though, if you use this too much against them, they'll adapt."[/i]
-
He nods. "Thanks."
-
[i]"so, the tracking mechanism only works on singular, hand loaded rocket-propelled projectiles. You can't have homing tech on bullets, that's obvious."[/i]
-
"Oh....." He looks around. "You got a rocket launcher I could buy?"
-
[b]he pulls a large Rocket launcher out of a crate.[/b] [i]"The CGM-25. Stands for Cluster Guided Missile. Warhead packed with F-a-F auto-homing mini-missiles, useful for suppressing numerous targets in a single shot. Or suppressing a singular target, that you really, Really want dead."[/i]
-
He nods. "Thanks."
-
[i]"that will be... 456K."[/i]
-
"Holy shit." He reaches back for his wallet.
