Frankly, if Perkins is going to pay a signing bonus for anything, it'd be Megan before the mech. She did have the balls to take on a grounded Leopard dropship with 'Mech escort, with only 4 damaged 'Mechs of her own to mount the attack with, and more importantly survived the attempt.<br/><br/>And yes, Perkins is a total fartwaffle. Why do we keep him around, again?<br/><br/>Right, because he's filthy rich. Damn.
