Jack Hennessey had just been bought onbard the<em>Citadel</em>, couriered from Outreach to meet his new team. The contract negotiation had been... unusual, to say the least, but the amount of zeroes he was seeing on the end was the sort of thing that tended to keep any questions down and his mind focused on the bottom line. And that was a bottom line that was hard to say no to.<em>Besides, playing it safe is boring, and I've never gotten anywhere that way</em><br/><br/>He'd done the bare minimum of settling in, little more then dumping his kit and then taking a look around the ship. He wanted to know what he was getting into and what kind of people he'd be dealing with, and, where possible, how he could use that to his advantage. He got the impression already that this was not the 'strictest' of merc commands, and certainly not one that followed traditional military guidelines and the like. That gave him a lot of leeway, something that he liked.<br/><br/>At present, it seemed that the unit were still returning from their last op, their Dropship still sometime out from rejoining the jumper. It was both a blessing and a curse; good because it gave him more room to move and act without bumping heads with those he might be fighting alongside. Bad because it meant that he'd be getting hit with a tidal wave of new faces all in one go, something that made it hard to pick out individuals.<br/><br/>As he entered the observation deck, hoping to catch a glimpse of the inbound dropper, something else instead caught his eye. A woman, tall and fit, red hair crowning her, intently watching the window. Something about her, maybe her build or maybe her stance screamed 'MechWarrior' to him.<em>Another new recruit? Or someone else? One way to find out</em><br/><br/>He approached the window, looking out it a moment before sparing a glance to his companion.<em>Red hair, green eyes, tanned skin... not bad in a 'rugged' sort of a way. This assignment might just work out</em>. “Jack Hennessy.” He began with a smile. “I'm new here.”<br/>
