==Quotes==
*"A lot of solos think you don't need any tech skills. They think that when they need to get a fast fix-up, they'll just put the lean on the nearest techie and that'll do it. Yeah, sure. The guy who doesn't know how his hardware works is gonna find himself groveling at his techie's feet when the chips are down. Because you can't intimidate nothin' when your spinal column locks up..."
*"A lot of battles get won before the first shot is fired. When your eyes meet his, and he knows that you're willing to pay the price in blood. His blood, your blood— it doesn't matter to you. You re committed."
*"Let's face it; for all the new hardware that's out there, most of it still does the same job— throw a chunk of lead through a man's body at near supersonic speeds. Plastic frames and caseless ammo are just icing on the cake..."
*"Chips aren't bad. But they aren't real skills. You'll find that out the first time you go up against a trained professional. You'll go through the routine fine, but she'll be able to improvise when you can't."
*"It's not just having an automatic weapon that makes you a hard case. It's knowing how to use that weapon effectively. A good combat gunner can deny an area, rake a group, or put a single round dead on target. And never run out of ammo doing it."
*"I didn't have time to draw my gun. But I did have time to snap a wheel kick into his face, followed by a spinning crescent off the back heel. That took him down long enough for me to get the Minami out of my armor-jacket. Good thing too— his partner was right on me with a backfist and a hand-strike combo. All of it pure chipped skills. Too bad for I her— a 10mm slug at hypervelocity beats kung-fu any day...
*On the street, there's no room for excuses; for hardware that doesn't work or equipment that doesn't perform. You can't demand a refund with a bullet in the brain, and a lawsuit's pretty problematical when you've been parted out to the local body bank. You want the best weapons euro can buy, because the alternative is the costliest of all—your life.
