My meeting with John went as with everything in the UC. Long winded with a test at the end.
The sign up to Vanguard was easy enough. Everything after that was... interesting.
As directed, I went down-elevator where I slept through the history of the UC in general and Vanguard specifically. At some point the presentation even stated "they let people venture into the stars" as if they had a choice. Typical UC hubris.
Then I had "to prove myself" in their combat SIM. No wonder UC pilots end up a gaseous balls of flame in a fire fight. This thing was set so preschoolers could pass. After a few pew-pew-pews, I was given my first assignment.
Comms repair, fucking comms repair. I mean it paid ok and upfront, but comms repair! Fine, I'll set off to this meat factory on Tau Ceti II. Hope they have a good burger there or at lease a bad bar.
I knew it, I fuckin' knew it! Nothing is this easy. I get off my bird and first thing I see is shredded bodies and ships that looked like a chew toy. Next thing I know someone is squawking at me to be quiet. No shit! Never talk to me when I'm walking through intestines! Voice says they have a door open but to come quickly.
Turns out this voice belonged to Hadrian Sanon. Sanon, where did I hear that name before? Meh, not as important and girl-eating critter. Turns our Hadrian wants me to take care of and get a sample of something called a Terrormorph. I've never seen one in my travels and Hadrian didn't give the greatest description. So I'm either hunting fuzzy bunny slippers or something a little more noticeable. Either way, off I go switch flipping again.
I get down on the lower level of one building to switch over some power relays and HOLY SHIT! Not fuzzy bunny slippers, not fuzzy bunny slippers! That was a big critter and it just munched some of the local fauna as a snack. Time to go Neon Street Rat mode and make it like I was never there.
After resetting the local critter tracking grid and culling system, Terror Kitty wasn't so bad. Had a hell of a vertical leap though, but I finally got it pinned on the ground. It was all "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur! Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr!" after that.
Two thing I know from this. Hadrian was happy to see me and John owes me a HUGE fucking pay day.
