"Well Tom got us from two seperate units," Rory replied. "I was part of one of the US's best black ops units but we were caught in a trap, seems Firebrand were tipped off about the target we were going to strike at. We got out okay but when I got back Tom approached me. He said he believed the US military had been compromised and was forming a militia force to respond to any potential coup. Apparentely he'd been studying my CV and wanted me for his force. I actually thought I was crazy for agreeing at the time but I haven't regretted it since."
