"Looks quite effective...."
He nods, smiling. The soldiers began to return to the base. Dan turned to them.
"Back to work, ladies and gentlemen! Feds aren't gonna kick their own asses!"
He shook his head and turned back to the AMP suit.

'Well, they're best for clearing jungle, lifting work, and force multiplication of defensive networks. They're good for quick raids too, if you've got experienced operators.'
-
He nods, looking up at the mechanical beast with a hope in his eye. This could be their ticket to winning the war. "Definitely useful...how much are they on standard?"
-
'Well, standard units cost about 1mil a piece. SpecFor units like this one are custom built to the users specifications, so they vary. This one cost me about 7mil, since its got a lot more power than the standard, its got to have it to move all this metal and hit harder than the standard unit.'
-
"We can afford about 5..." He chuckles, shaking his head. "Come on down, my men will move the AMP suit into our garage. We'll get you situated down here. You can use this as a base of operations of sorts."
-
'Id prefer to stay in my freighter, nothing against your men, but I've got all my comforts there. As for parking this thing, you need a special parking bay for them. You'll get a notice about that with the AMPs when they ship them.'
-
He nods. "Fair enough." He leads you to a small house, with a tall building next to it, probably the garage. He opens the talker building, revealing small, jeep-like vehicles and a few ships inside.

'You've not got much gear. You need to find an independent planet who feels like funding you, you'll have far more equipment than you'll know what to do with.'
-
"Yeah...this everything on this planet. We don't have much, most of it's just modified civilian vehicles." He shook his head and sighed as he looked at the vehicles. "Planet funding would be our only chance at this point."
-
'Well, Mar Sara can provide equipment, as long as you promise to keep your newfound way of life to yourself. We're not against the freedom to choose the government you live under, but that doesn't mean we're going to let you try to steamroll us with our own equipment.'
-
"We make allies and we keep them, it's a code as sacred as chivalry. My soldiers won't break it, and if they, I'll execute them myself." His expression hardened, it was obvious that he took that matter very, very seriously.
-
'Good, I'd hate for you all to be terrorized for dumb decisions.' Duller pulls the AMP knife out of its sheath, and scrapes it against the opposite arm. 'You'll need someone to train AMP pilots, but there are plenty of Mar Sarans who'd be capable of doing that.'
-
"Would you be willing to train them? Most have discipline and will listen to you, any others you can report to me and they'll be dealt with."
-
'Trust me, i can handle them. I may be able to train them, but I want to handpick a strike team out of the applicants, hand train all of them for raiding.'
