conversations.value: The known universe is a violent place.  Ever since the fall of the Star League, a series of Succession Wars has ravaged world after world.  The Inner Sphere is one giant arms race, with the Periphery serving as a smaller-scale mirror.
  
  The Inner Sphere factions pay well, but the danger is greater.  On the Periphery, work can be tougher to find, and the pay isn't always good.
  
  Either way, as mercenaries, you're always on the lookout for opportunities to get your 'Mechs on the ground and earn a paycheck.  If you manage to settle a personal score or two along the way... well, so much the better...

conversations.value: It's old, cramped, and beaten to all hell... but it's home.  This thing is going to take you to the stars, literally.  Here's hoping it survives the trip...
conversations.prefix: The Argo:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's old, cramped, and beaten to hell.  But it's home, at least for now.  This thing is going to take you to the stars, literally - here's hoping it survives the trip...
conversations.prefix: The Argo:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've been cooped up on the *Argo* for a while.  Despite orbiting Galatea the entire time, shore leave has been sparse - the old man wants everything up and running stat, which means work, work, and more work.  Even the pilots have been running through cockpit familiarization drills and pen-and-paper firing solution exercises.  Everyone's on edge...
conversations.prefix: Cabin Fever:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The company's first mission is coming up fast.  Nobody's quite sure what it's going to be yet, but the MechWarriors aboard the *Argo* are already posturing, with a few bruised egos following the training simulation.
conversations.prefix: Ego Jockeys:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Unless you're in the Medbay, there's no such thing as a break.  The next deployment is already being arranged, and it's time to determine who will be heading planetside.
conversations.prefix: The List (Individual, Pilots Only):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's a solid 'Mech, with a couple lasers and an AC.  Not the most glamorous, maybe, but perfectly capable of obliterating targets.
conversations.prefix: Enforcer (Deployment-Listed Pilots Only):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A big cannon and missiles.  Not much finesse involved, but the 'Mech can dish out some punishment.  If only it wasn't so slow...
conversations.prefix: Centurion (Deployment-Listed Pilots Only):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Shadow Hawk has a lot of strengths, so it should be easy for any MechWarrior to make a good showing with it on the field.
conversations.prefix: Shadow Hawk (Deployment-Listed Pilots Only):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: As a Light 'Mech, the Firestarter is solid.  A mobile scout, and a decent brawler when pitted against other Light 'Mechs, it fills a vital role as a spotter and recon unit for the Lance.
conversations.prefix: Firestarter (Deployment-Listed Pilots Only):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Missiles galore, and a suite of advanced targeting modules.  Scoring kills with this thing should be easy!
conversations.prefix: Trebuchet (Deployment-Listed Pilots Only):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A well-oiled team makes everything better.  The 'Mechs are shinier, the jumps are smoother, and the shore leave is more memorable.  Keeping a crew in tip-top shape is dependent on Command's leadership and the crew's comradery in equal parts.
conversations.prefix: Crew Cohesion (No more than 1 Pilot):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Farah Murad is the *Argo*'s resident chief engineer, and though unassuming she is very good at her job.  So good, in fact, that she tends to have very high expectations of her engineering team.
conversations.prefix: Dr. Murad (Engineering Crew):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A sneak, a thief, and a liar.  Stowaways are usually running from something - maybe they caused it, maybe not.  Either way, they're an extra mouth to feed, and could be more trouble than they're worth.
conversations.prefix: The Stowaway:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The mission was a resounding success.  Everyone acquitted themselves well on the battlefield and came home without any new holes.  Time to pour a few drinks and celebrate success!
conversations.prefix: Celebration!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The bridge - the nerve center of any jumpship.  Most MechWarriors and crew members don't get called up here often.  When they do, it's always for "A Talk" with the CO.  It could be a good talk, or it could be a bad talk... 
conversations.prefix: Command Bridge:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You caught Command's attention, and not in a good way.  Something you did prompts an old-school, informal "discussion" of the one-way variety.  How do you handle it, both during the ass-chewing and after?
conversations.prefix: Dressing Down (Glitch):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Command wants to know what happened, and they want an explanation directly from the source.  'Mech handling, weapon performance, pre-deployment preparation...  Every bit of data could be crucial in keeping people alive in future deployments.
conversations.prefix: Mission Debriefing (Behemoth):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: After any mission, maintenance is critical, even when a 'Mech was unscathed.  A small amount of dirt can cause a weapon to jam; a hairline fracture in a heat sink can throw off a pilot's offensive.  
conversations.prefix: 'Mech Maintenance:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's only natural for the MechWarriors to dissect every aspect of a mission.  Who should have taken which 'Mech, whether to engage that enemy or another, when to push forward... Sometimes it's productive, sometimes not.
conversations.prefix: Pilot Postmortem:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Commander, or some other member of the leadership, has given you their support.  They want everyone on the ship to succeed, but you in particular have stood out to them.
conversations.prefix: Command Support:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your exploits have earned you a measure of goodwill around the ship, and that opens some doors.  Of course, it also comes with additional expectations.
conversations.prefix: Reputation:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You haven't been taken seriously so far, but you know that you're right... Or at least, you're not completely wrong.  How are you going to get your point across?
conversations.prefix: Prove It:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have a bit of a conundrum to solve.  You likely don't have much to go on - Command isn't going to sniff out the facts for you, so you'll have to get cracking.
conversations.prefix: Figure It Out:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got some thoughts about how to improve things around the *Argo*.  Might be thoughts on the ship itself, or the 'Mechs, or the way work gets done.  Either way, you have to make your case.
conversations.prefix: Performance Improvement:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got your eye on the c-bills.  Whether you just want to live more comfortably or you have a specific need for the cash, you'll have to start saving for your inevitable rainy day.
conversations.prefix: In Pursuit of Profit:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got it.  The company's gear belongs to the company - but you've got a fair amount of leeway in what gets distributed, and where.  Never hurts to have folks owing you a few favors.
conversations.prefix: What They Need:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your experience gives you some pull among the crew.  You can't give direct orders, but your suggestions and advice will go further than most.  Just be careful not to overplay your cred; it's tough to shake the "poser" label.
conversations.prefix: Credibility:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: At least for the moment, you've got someone to lighten your workload.  That should let you focus on a project that usually gets left on the back burner.  Or give you enough free time to get into trouble...
conversations.prefix: Assistance:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's quick, it's got lasers, and it's durable for its size.  Solid performance for a Light 'Mech, but it's still a Light 'Mech.
conversations.prefix: Firestarter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A good mix of long-, medium-, and short-range damage output, the Enforcer is a good all-purpose 'Mech.  Meant to function as the Lance's direct-fire sniper, it can operate well in any engagement scenario.
conversations.prefix: Enforcer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Trebuchet is all about the LRMs.  It doesn't have any pinpoint weaponry, but it often doesn't need them.  Its missile barrages can easily turn the tide of battle, but this 'Mech requires an experienced and crafty pilot to get the most out of its weapons.
conversations.prefix: Trebuchet:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The "tank" of the Lance, the Centurion is all about taking the center of the battlefield and keeping it.  A high-damage autocannon and thick armor help to achieve that goal, making up for how slow this 'Mech is.
conversations.prefix: Centurion:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A jack-of-all-trades 'Mech, this platform has something for almost everyone.  Its major disadvantage is lack of long-range weaponry, requiring it to get up close and personal with the enemy.
conversations.prefix: Shadow Hawk:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The investigation for a suspect continues.  There are dozens of crew members on the ship, from a wide range of backgrounds.  It's like a needle in a haystack... if the needle was capable of killing everyone in the haystack...
conversations.prefix: Sabotage Investigation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: MechWarriors are a proud bunch.  It's easy to say the wrong thing, or give the wrong look, and bruise an ego among that crowd.  A new Lance has to figure out their pecking order and settle into a routine in order to be effective.
conversations.prefix: Lance Cohesion (Red Team):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: MechWarriors are a proud bunch.  It's easy to say the wrong thing, or give the wrong look, and bruise an ego among that crowd.  A new Lance has to figure out their pecking order and settle into a routine in order to be effective.
conversations.prefix: Lance Cohesion (Blue Team):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Both Lances want to make the most of their time in the simulator.  Establishing a clear, convenient schedule to keep things running smoothly is critical... but MechWarriors often butt heads over the most trivial things, and a schedule is no different.
conversations.prefix: Training Schedules:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The saboteur has a few tricks to work with.  This time, meddling with the company's stores of LRMs could put the next Lance to touch down in serious danger.  Better suss it out, and quickly...
conversations.prefix: Discover the Sabotage:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Epidemic:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Maybe it was Succubus's "spoils", maybe it was the contaminated water... maybe it was both.  Either way, a large percentage of the crew is coming down with vague and ill-defined symptoms.  MedBay is hopping, and it's going to be tough to keep the *Argo* operating at full strength.
conversations.prefix: Epidemic (copy):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Maybe it was Succubus's "spoils", maybe it was the contaminated water... maybe it was both.  Either way, a large percentage of the crew is coming down with vague and ill-defined symptoms.  MedBay is hopping, and it's going to be tough to keep the *Argo* operating at full strength.
conversations.prefix: Epidemic:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You were  born in the Periphery, far from the Inner Sphere.  Your noble background means you're familiar with machinations and double crosses, but things tend to be a bit smaller-scale where you're from.
conversations.prefix: Periphery Noble:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've been in the military almost all your life, piloting 'Mechs, serving aboard various vessels, and fighting dozens of battles.  You know how to lead, how to follow, and how to win.
conversations.prefix: Veteran MechWarrior:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You take risks, sometimes unnecessary ones, in the name of winning.  Despite your usual penchant for strategy and tactics, sometimes you fall into the trap of the "simplest solution", putting yourself and your Lance in danger.
conversations.prefix: Reckless:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your once-noble family is no longer noble.  It fell from grace, or was destroyed.  What happened to it?  Are you seeking revenge, closure, or simple anonymity?  
conversations.prefix: Broken Lineage:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Born on the Periphery, your life has been punctuated by a series of inexplicable, often unlucky, coincidences.  You almost literally stumbled into a career as a MechWarrior, something that many people only dream of.
conversations.prefix: Hapless MechWarrior:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've learned to take your time and assess the odds, never joining a fight unless you have a clear advantage - or at least know all the variables.  This gives you an excellent eye for analyzing situations and making sound decisions.
conversations.prefix: Cautious:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Either fate really does have it out for you, or you've created a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Either way, everyone knows that you're a proverbial albatross, and if things cane go wrong, they usually will - with you right at the center.
conversations.prefix: Jinxed:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've long believed - rightly or wrongly - that the universe has it out for you.  You're determined to defy your various misfortunes.  What do you believe will break this "curse"?  What are you hoping to accomplish as a sign that you've "won"?
conversations.prefix: Defy Fate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: On the Periphery, every planet has its own military.  You enlisted, rose through the ranks, and served your final few years as an officer.  You honed your eye for building a cohesive team and executing complex strategies, and your troops were disheartened when you left to become a mercenary.
conversations.prefix: Former Officer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't just pilot 'Mechs - you also know how to repair them!  You can bypass the standard Maintenance queues, making minor modifications and fixes to your preferred 'Mech on your own time.
conversations.prefix: 'Mech Tech:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can be... meticulous.  You don't like others messing with your gear, and having to share a 'Mech rankles you.  You expect your Lance to know what you want out of a situation and make it happen, sometimes without properly communicating your expectations.
conversations.prefix: Picky:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You want your own 'Mech.  You've always wanted your own 'Mech.  How do you plan to accomplish this?  Are you fine with owning any 'Mech, or do you have a particular one in mind?  If so, what is it?
conversations.prefix: One & Only:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The Free Worlds League is ostensibly a region of space where citizens can accomplish their dreams... But in reality, your family's bank account is a serious barrier.  You trained hard, got recruited by the FWL military, and never looked back.
conversations.prefix: Ambitious Leaguer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You spent your formative military years on spacefaring vessels.  This gives you a good understanding of general navigational principles, ship upkeep and maintenance, and the mindset common to those contained on ships for extended lengths of time.
conversations.prefix: Spacer:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your blue collar background has been used against you by many, and you strive to prove yourself as a true MechWarrior.  Sometimes, you get yourself into trouble in an attempt to stand out, making reckless decisions - occasionally at the worst possible time. 
conversations.prefix: Chip on Your Shoulder:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You want people to know your name, as a formidable MechWarrior.  Do you want to be feared, or respected?  What is your signature maneuver or tactic that you use to distinguish yourself on the battlefield?
conversations.prefix: Earn Their Respect:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You fled the Federated Suns ahead of some criminal charges.  You never served time, and you know that if you ever caught the attention of the Federated authorities (or bored bounty hunters), your crimes will catch up with you - and fast.
conversations.prefix: Federated Suns Fugitive:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're hard-as-nails, and refuse to quit.  You live by the "honor among thieves"  motto, and you will never leave your friends to fight a battle alone.  Against overwhelming odds, you're known to wipe the sweat from your eyes and prepare for another round.
conversations.prefix: Brave:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your time on the wrong side of the law is definitely a problem.  You occasionally find yourself tempted to step back into those old habits, and others find it difficult to trust you.  Not to mention, you have to avoid drawing too much attention to yourself...
conversations.prefix: Criminal Background:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You know what you did was wrong, and you want to embark on a new path.  You don't really want to live the criminal life, despite your occasional temptations.  What did you do?  How do you plan to earn redemption and/or forgiveness for your transgressions?
conversations.prefix: Turn Over a New Leaf:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You were more than just an officer - you spent time coordinating military operations, taking responsibility for dozens (even hundreds) of lives at a time.  After one lost soldier too many, you left that life to pilot a 'Mech.
conversations.prefix: Capellan Military Commander:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've seen it all, and been in the middle of most of it.  Nothing phases you, and you can maintain your cool under the worst laser barrage the enemy can muster.  Being a MechWarrior carries a lot of risk, and you're totally at peace with that.
conversations.prefix: Ice in Your Veins:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You expect people to follow your orders.  In a loose command structure like a mercenary outfit, that can make waves.  You're not officially in command of anything, and sometimes you forget that - other times, you choose to ignore that.
conversations.prefix: Accustomed to Authority:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your time in command took a toll on you.  You keep a list of everyone that died under your command.  Do they haunt you, or do they motivate you?  How do you honor them, and what would make you finally let go of that list?
conversations.prefix: Find Peace:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have a criminal record, mostly involving minor misdemeanors and petty crimes.  You lived a wild life, falling in with a crew of small-time smugglers and pirates, mostly just engaging in crimes of opportunity.  Mostly...
conversations.prefix: Lyran Rabblerouser:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't back down from a challenge, and even when you lose you somehow manage to crawl out of the debris.  You're brave, relentless, and enthusiastic about whatever the universe throws in your way.
conversations.prefix: Stubborn Survivor:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You last saw your former crew when they abandoned you on a Periphery world, leaving you holding evidence of a murder they had committed in pursuit of a score.  You evaded arrest, found a new crew, and have been looking over your shoulder ever since...
conversations.prefix: Framed:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You want to clear your name.  Your crew committed the murder; you weren't even there when it happened.  How do you plan to prove your innocence?  Do you want revenge against your former crew, or just to have them exonerate you?
conversations.prefix: Acquit Yourself:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your background is a tapestry of different jobs, all within a mercenary company.  Ship's crew, 'Mechbay tech, reconnaissance... You did everything, and it paid off when the old man needed a new 'Mech pilot.
conversations.prefix: Periphery Mercenary:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You earned your stripes on the crew, but you also have a noble pedigree to back you up.  You know how to navigate complex social situations, and your bearing & self-confidence have carried you through many trials.
conversations.prefix: Noble Family:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You keep to yourself - a byproduct of having walked away from your family years ago.  You don't mind dropping their name in a pinch, but you don't rely on them directly, and you maintain a similar philosophy with your crew and your Lance.
conversations.prefix: Loner:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Deep Periphery.  Not many make it out of there - few that do amount to much beyond banditry and piracy.  What are your aspirations?  What brought you back to the Inner Sphere, and what keeps you there?
conversations.prefix: Escape the Deep Periphery:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your family owned a lucrative manufacturing plant on your homeworld, and you grew up living a life of money and luxury.  Growing bored, you left for Solaris VII and became a gladiator, garnering a small fan-base.
conversations.prefix: Lyran Gladiator:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your skill as a gladiator is well-known enough that people recognize you - resulting in admiration, fear, or respect, depending on the circumstances.  Your time on Solaris VII also gave you the skills necessary to excel as a mercenary pilot.
conversations.prefix: Semi-Famous:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are often quick to trust others, even when they don't have your best interests in mind.  Worse, you often fall for obvious ambushes, since pirates and bandits don't abide by the rules of honor and fair-play that Solaris gladiators do.
conversations.prefix: Naive:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your success as a gladiator was just the tip of the iceberg.  Now that the bug has bitten you, you don't want to be just a two-bit celebrity - you want to be a legend.  Do your ambitions have a limit?  How do you plan to achieve your goals?
conversations.prefix: Grow Your Legend:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Merc crews aren't so fancy as to have dedicated surgeons and fully kitted medbays, but they still need someone to get the injured back on their feet. You get the job done.
conversations.prefix: Sawbones:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whether crises, angry officers, flailing mechwarriors, or otherwise, you just don't let things get to you.
conversations.prefix: Composed:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You might be good when shit hits the fan, but your 'work ethic' is a pain in the ass the rest of the time.
conversations.prefix: Undisciplined:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your heart's not in this. But could it be?
conversations.prefix: Something to Believe In:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Somebody’s got to keep this bucket of bolts functioning.
conversations.prefix: Engineer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You’re good with your tools and understand the systems you’re assigned to.
conversations.prefix: Technical:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This was not supposed to go this way, and you don’t have a easy way to remedy the situation.
conversations.prefix: Bitter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: All these small-time merc companies pay like crap and never seem to make it higher than subsistence living.  Maybe you can make enough of a name to get hired on to someone worth working for.
conversations.prefix: Find a Real Company:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Every ship needs its security staff. Some go so far as to call themselves Marines. They do that until they have the urge beat out of them by a real Marine anyway. I wear a recoilless gyro jet pistol on my hip. I'm rated for extravehicular, hostile environment, and combat armor suits. Only real Marines get the full package though. I have to pick one or the other and focus on peace keeping rather than threat neutralization.
  
  Still, if a fight needs to be broken up, if someone needs to be escorted to the brig or if there is a hostile boarding attempt you can bet I'll be part of the team they call to take care of it.
conversations.prefix: Ship's Security :
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There aint nothing funnier than a fat lip and bloody teeth. There are few things as satisfying as handing them out. Pugilism, fisticuffs, boxing. Call it what you will I like to fight and I like to instigate fights. A well organized ring and bout is the best way to do both. 
  
  My dad always said if you can't find what you want, make it. I'm not an engineer like he was but I have his build and everywhere I go I find or organize the local boxing matches. It passes the time on those longer jump transits. It's also a great side hustle. Gods know I need the dough.
conversations.prefix: Scrapper:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Dad was a stable engineer for a world circuit Mech lance on Solaris VII. We were living the dream. Or living off it anyway. In that outfit everyone's income was supplemented with wagers on the mech gladiatorial bouts. Dad was no different and he passed the habit on to us kids. To bad he didn't pass on his knack for playing the odds. 
  
  It seems that the only way I can keep from losing is if I play the bookie. If I stay focused, set the odds and keep the books I can tread the straight and narrow.
  
  The moment try to play the odds for myself I go into the hot, red faster than a PPC happy Panther Pilot. I have the debts to prove it. 
conversations.prefix: Gambler :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Mom always said security was a jarhead's best track towards command. Keep the crew safe from themselves, know that most threats come from the port of call and keep the fun  in your pants where crew is concerned. Simple rules, follow them and stay alive. Eventually someone is going to ask you to call the shots.
  
  Thats what you want, right? To call the shots? 
conversations.prefix: Career Track :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your job is simple. Make sure the battlemech’s are in proper conditions before they go out to the field. Otherwise you might find yourself on a barren planet if warriors die because of mechanical failures. 
conversations.prefix: Mech Repairman:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You’re smart, nobody on the ship can deny that. A real “book worm” if you will. If somebody has a question about anything you probably know the answer. 
conversations.prefix: Intelligent:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If you think something is a good idea, you do it without thinking twice or consorting anyone else about the idea. On occasions this gets you in trouble with your superior. 
conversations.prefix: Rash:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A squad of mercenaries helped to take back your home on Coromodir. You stayed in space to pay off the feeling of personel debt you feel since the band saved you on Weldry.
conversations.prefix: Repay the Favor :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are always on the lookout for how to get ahead, and your hunches pay off more often than not.
conversations.prefix: Opportunist Quartermaster:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've had several careers, and amassed a wide array of contacts, legal and otherwise
conversations.prefix: Connections:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You put on a good face, but you're a wreck inside. Most times you can stay afloat, but sometimes its too much for you and things get out of hand.
conversations.prefix: Emotionally Unstable:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have people depending on you now, and need to try and right your wrecked life and make sure it has a future.
conversations.prefix: Get it Together :
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Dammit, accept I'm right already!
conversations.prefix: Won't Let It Go:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: If you don’t, you’ll never shake the nickname they give you.
conversations.prefix: Make A Statement:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know the ins and outs of mech piloting and how to train a good mechwarrior. You once had dozens under your command but now find yourself working part time with a merc outfit. You've given up bothering to order others around and often find yourself saying "I'm Getting Too Old For This."
conversations.prefix: Retired Military Commander:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You know a great deal about strategies and tactics. And can often anticipate what your enemy might be planning to do as you've seen it play out a few dozen times before.
conversations.prefix: Experienced Commander:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've seen some terrible battles in your life as any seasoned commander would. But one ambush that turned into a slaughter left a scar on your mind. And sometimes when things start to go south you lose control.
conversations.prefix: Trauma:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:
