Mercenary Survival Guide

## *Combat*

*"You don't always need a rifle to fall big prey. Sometimes you just need a lil shock and a crossbow." - Cotton Harvest, Orphaned Sniper*

*"Always keep at least 10k credits tucked away. You never know when you'll get seriously hurt on the job, and the doctors will want money to piece you back together." - Manic, Assassin*

*"Never let someone choose for you. If you let others make your choices, eventually someone is going to make the choice of if you'll survive or not. Always make your choices yourself. Right or wrong, at least you made the choice." - Daniel Flynn Roosevelt, Virginian Royal Marine Sniper*

*"A soldier with something to fight for will fight longer and harder than any other soldier could ever possibly hope to achieve. Choose what you fight for, mercenary, but be careful what you choose and make sure it's the right choice." - Echo Three One Four, Sol Republic Clone Commando*

*"This galaxy'll have ya believe er'body's 'civilized' now. That only holds up in them fancy towers where the trash can't rip apart them leaches in suits, preacher's o' capitalism, the head o' the machine that stomps out resistance wherever people try an' make their voices heard. Them same leaches learn real quick one muthafucka with a big iron can still ruin their day. No one's invincible son, not even me." -Audio Ends. Statement by The Calvary, Galactic Outlaw, Infamous Bounty Hunter, Self Proclaimed "Baddest Muthafucka in the Galaxy"*

## Connections

*"People always ask me, 'Calvary, how can you manage tah' survive all the wild shit Ah see on the news!' Simple answer is gear son, and if you can't make it, eventually you gotta talk tah' someone who does. That's where contacts come in, slimy bastards who'd rather make a profit supplying from the back lines than duking it beside us mercs, but they ain't just parasites unfortunately. Their skills an' talents make 'em vital fer' uprgadin' yer' kit, an' iffn' you happen tah be goin on a mission fixed with loads p' automated defences, sliding a couple big one's fer' some EMP 'nades ain't such a bad deal anymore, is it?" -Audio Ends. Statement by The Calvary, Galactic Bounty Hunter*

## Funny

*"Ya know, back in mah' day, two tough sunz o' bitches would meet at high noon if they were wantin' ta settle a score, an' only one'd ever walk away. Nowadays everyone's a goddamn wizard or clone or damned machine, and they got the bullshit firepower ta' back it up. That's why I just started nukin' motherfuckers, easier ta' make sure they quit throwing fireballs and rockets at mah face. It's how Ah broke the Alterra Aces outta Hell's Gate Max Sec, mhm. Maybe also wiped mah own record clean with it, but that didn't hurt nobody- The hell you mean it was a staged event? The USC are the bitches that OWN the prison, no they didn't fake it- Propaganda stunt?!? C'mere fish, Ah'll show you a propaganda stunt by shoving this barrel so far up your-". -Audio ends.

## Social

h*"You sure this segments gonna be private? Good, it's your ass if you fuck up again fish. Ahem. Ah... ain't the most friendly face tah' see in this neck o' the galaxy. Someone who is, lil' Miss Cotton. Short, confident, and a dead eye with a bolt action, we hunted down the beast of Fenrir on Asgard. Alive too, ain't an' easy feat, you can just ask folks like One Eye'd Pete. Dumb bastard couldn't even kill it, an' he had way more artillery than us. Mostly, was thanks tah' my knack for trappin' and her mean crossbow skills, taser bolts are a bitch an' a half iffn' ya' get hit. She's... she's one o' the good 'uns. Soft spoken, bright, hopeful. She's doin' amazin' fer' herself in her retirement, I think she's some kinda baker now? We sometimes still go on huntin' trips every now an' then. One o' the good 'uns, yessir... it's folks like her ya'll need watchin' yer back, and it ain't just fer' her accuracy either. In my opinion, all the greats got someone rootin' in their corner, and without her... Well, let's leave it at that." -Audio Ends. Statement by The Calvary, Galactic Bounty Hunter*
