The line numbers did go through in the big screen but there was half-dozen small screen in the hall which showed the ongoing matches and match start ups. This was all non-public showcase and meant only to fellow pilots to see competition how they fought. Present line was 201, it was line for this season black horse; Jareth Herman.<br/><br/>Jareth was facing against Broeno brothers, a three italian mech pilots who had participated in pro leagues for two seasons now. They were not good at one vs one, but were a hell of a team. For Jareth's luck he had got three against one scenario! Mostly because Jareth had became famous in the five months amateur leagues in duels and had already large fan group, mostly made from girls and only thanks being shameless flirt with them. It seems the Federation is putting Jareth onto quite serious test. The match setup however is not annihilation of his enemies, he just needs get past them to reach win point. So strategic battle, but the scenario was not most favorable kind; a plain open desert field with enemy on hill and two others down the hill and he needs climb over the hill to reach the win space.<br/><br/>Jareth smoked cigarette, staring the field in thoughtful manner and watching it from screen in the hangar where his mech; Eberhart Mark I was in. One engineers who inspect mech for match comes to him; "Your ready to go now Jareth Herman, your mech been inspected and approved." Jareth tosses cigarette on floor and snuffs it under his boot and blowing smoke towards the screen he says in german accented english; "Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it for dad." Jareth climbs inside his mech, the worn leather chair with fur lines waited for him. Originally it was solid leather chair but he added own layer more comfortable leather for his own comfort and style preference. He closes hatch and he starts his mech and walks out into field......<br/><br/><em>Few minutes later</em><br/><br/>In the main hall the line number has been changed around to 300 but they constantly list winners and losers. In one such case in big label it was announced on screen; 'Jareth Herman vs Broeno brothers in 3 vs 1 capture flag scenario = Jareth Herman winner. Broeno brothers continuity to this season uncertain, as two from three brothers mechs have received severe damage during conflict and one brothers suffers nauseous headache.'<br/><br/>Jareth Herman walks into the park, his role for today is done already but he likes lounge around and see who all got past preminilary matches. He wears simple jeans, light brown leather shoes and wearing a white t-shirt and fur lined worn dark leather jacket. He brushes his blond hair from corner of his eye and adjusts his pilot goggles in his head he takes seat one the park benches and he starts smoke second cigarette, lighting it up with his lighter and inhaling deep and calmly blowing smoke off while his eyes are staring nothing, in deep thoughts.<br/><br/><em>Well, made first round old man. Let's see how far I reach out to give these pilots in lesson in true warfare.</em><br/><br/>Jareth then glanced on duo of girls sitting near by bench, smiling.<br/><br/><em>..altough some cases I pity to be teacher for them, as some of them are rather quite damn cute.</em>
