<div class="floatright">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/mw-nmfkmpkarimonero_zps55a1bf27.jpg)</div><strong>Kari Moreno</strong><br/><strong>On the ship, in space</strong><br/><strong>Tagged: Everyone</strong><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Dropship <em>Black Sun</em>, attached to its Jumpship<br/>Callison System<br/>Republic Remnant<br/>21 January 3145</strong><br/><br/>Three weeks later…<br/><br/>The ship’s meeting room was again a buzz of activity, the entirety of the Black Sun Company (save for those still running the dropship) gathered there on the orders of their commander. Kari stood at the head of the room, Allia and Damien with her, looking out over the assembled group of familiar faces, as well as a couple of new ones.<br/><br/>“First of all, I want to start this by welcoming our two new members, Hector Skorzinni and ‘DJ’ Robins,” Kari began, nodding towards the two newcomers. “I know it’s unusual to receive new members like this, but we have an opportunity that couldn’t wait. Hector will be assigned to the command lance, while DJ will be assigned to Recon. I want you all to make them feel at home here. And if the pair of you have any problems or questions or anything else, don’t hesitate to ask”<br/><br/>“Now onto the big news,” she continued. “The Black Suns have accepted a new contract, one that was arranged by our people on Galatea and delivered in-situ. Apparently, we’re famous or something,” this sent a small round of laughs around the room before she continued, “but the basics are we’ve been hired by the First Minister of Dalton in the Duchy of Oriente for a garrison contract in support of the Third Oriente Hussars.”<br/><br/>“Dalton has historically been a bit of a political football, one that has been claimed by both the Duchy and the Principality of Regulus,” Kari explained. “In the last couple of years, since the reformation of the FWL, there has been an upswing in ‘pirate’ attacks both on shipping in-system and on-world groups, which are suspected to be connected to the Regulans. Now whether this is Regulan backed  or a pro-Regulan faction of the government is unclear, but either way, they feel that the world needs a hand to help reign this in”<br/><br/>She looked around the room. “This is where we come in.”<br/>
