S1, 08 A Bunch of Rejects (December 6, 2015)

Location: GI facility, Oxford, Earth.

Dear diary: Life sucks. So, luckily, my qualifications where in physics. Unfortunately, they where theoretical, so I am amazed that they have let me through. Going by my real name, Micheal Druvid, for the time being. Very few know of me anyway. The whole GI is chasing their tails over Renegade, and dealing with the whole bussiness of the Collective, so very few know of me. Anyway, we have been put into teams, and...

Juggernaut was about to continue when a large, clawed foot planted itself in his chest.

Green alien: GET UP AND HELP US YOU BLOODY DAYDREAMER!

ALICE: Leave him alone!

Green alien: Make me, you bloody droid.

ALICE: Huh!

ALICE kicked the alien, who fell against a large casing. Hearing the comotion, a brown haired human, who had previously been speaking with the cranes operator, ran over.

Human: Leave him! Might I remind you if we don't do this, we are out of the running! And I for one want this research job!

Once the fight was over, the human walked over to where Juggernaut lay, and offered a hand.

Human: Sorry about Vogirad, he can get pissed off easily. I'm Rupert. Rupert Kingsled. Politically undecided.

Juggernaut: Huh...I'm...Micheal Druvid. politicaly...dubious...

Rupert: Well, pleased to meet you. Just have to ask, is that droid yours?

Juggernaut: Umm...sort of. On loan from a friend.

Rupert: Well, just keep her under control.

ALICE: I can control myself thank you very much!

Rupert: And you, Vogirad, don't do this again. we need this job.

Vogirad: Well, hate to burst your bubble, but WE HAVE NOTHING! We have couplings without the right cables, and no adapters to fit it to the bloody casing! Meanwhile, them in the next area over have bloody gold plated toilet seats!

Rupert: Calm down. Might I remind you we have a reaper watching us?

Vogirad: \*snorts\*

There was silence for a minute, before Vogirad turned to Juggernaut.

Vogirad: Sorry... I am Vogirad Gorvinda.

Juggernaut:...As in son of Kirgara Gorvinda?

Vogirad: Yea.

Juggernaut:...I might have assassinated your father.

Vogirad: You're the guy I hired to do that! Sorry for the slow payment.

Rupert: WAIT, YOU'RE A...!

Juggernaut: \*Whispering\* Keep it down! I am here incognito! But, yes I am a Marauder.

Rupert: It's just... I kinda wanted to be one when I was done here. There is freedom outside the law...

Rupert: We need more parts...

Everyone slowly turned to look at the crane.

Juggernaut: Who is that? \*indicates the one eyed pilot\*

Rupert: I...don't think he has a name...

Juggernaut: Well, WE NEED HIS CRANE!

A few hours later...

GI "reaper" soldier: \*In the distance\* WHAT IS THIS, A PURPLE PUG WITH WINGS! I AM DISGRACED! LEAVE MY SIGHT!

Juggernaut: That... was hard...

Rupert: Yea...what is he doing? \*indicates the one eyed alien\*

Juggernaut: Morning the loss of his beloved crane.

GI "reaper" soldier: \*In the distance\* IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING I WOULD FLUSH DOWN THE TOILET, AND IT SMELLS EVEN WORSE!

Juggernaut: About the marauders...

Rupert: Yea...

Juggernaut: I may be able to pull some strings so that my "boss", though I hate to call him that, lets you join me and ALICE.

Rupert: Really?! Thanks!

Juggernaut: Don't mention it.

"Reaper": \*Entering\* ON YOUR FEET!

The group scrambled to their feet, and stood around like they had not just been leaning back.

Reaper: Well, it has a decent shape, and all of the peices are in place, and you didn't waste time gold plating it.

Reaper: You know, you losers may have the only functional build out of anyone. Good job. You got the job.
