Gregory tends to disagree with the others due to his differing viewpoints, but will relent if the others have a point, outnumber him, and/or include a superior officer.
I see what you did there 
Yup, referring to when I was being outvoted.
What you did there... I see it.
Anyway, I feel the last couple posts have been a little too railroady, but it was late at night and I was dead tired.
If it was for you all too, then I'll try to make it more involving, if not, then I'll keep on keeping on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your squad, and two new recruits, have returned to the base. You noticed on the very, very crammed ride back, and as your teammates were leaving, (Except for Lilith, who was under the influence of heavy amounts of anesthesia and morphine,) they had a less than friendly attitude to the new recruits, especially Reg.
You led the two crewmen out of the ship, giving them a pair of rooms to set up in, and told them to talk to you after they were done settling in about payment.
Upon writing a report about the mission and submitting it to the Highlander military, no less than an hour later you received the payment that was agreed upon. 4000 credits, and as an added bonus for the prisoners, you received 1000 credits, bringing the overall payment to 5000. Not bad.
An hour after that, the two recruits came by, and you had a talk with them, agreeing on payment after learning a little bit about them.
The older one was named Jon Mckinney, and is actually a pilot. This relieved you greatly, because you would not have to rely on the very exemplary (Not really,) piloting skills of Mark. You agreed on a paycheck of 500, since he is a non-combatant.
The younger one is named Gregory Warren Goff, and was some scientist of who-gives-a-fuck what, on a world you don't know, or really want to know about. However, he is quite handy with knives, and knows how to hit the broad side of a barn every so often with a pistol. He asked for 800 credits, and you reluctantly agreed.
He seems whiny.
But he was able to identify the assault rifles you took off the marines. They were BR-A87's, and they are experimental weapons, just a year or two off of being issued to all Sol marines. It has superior penetration to any other rifle currently in production, and you're lucky to add them to your arsenal.
You also found a multitude of assorted grenades in that small weapon's shipment you confiscated, flashbangs, typical fragmentation grenades, there were also some mean incendiary grenades you were itching to try out.
After settling the business with the new recruits, you still have the choice of choosing another job, or doing something else related within your company, such as attempting to buy a new craft, or get weapons upgrades, that sort of business stuff.
The jobs the Highlanders are currently offering include:
The old Space station job is still available, but they upped the pricing. It seems no company is willing to do it. You have to infiltrate a Highlander station that went off the grid several days ago, discover what happened, who attacked, and if possible, get the communications up and running again. It is a dangerous job, due to the lack of any information other than the old station population census, thousands of workers, around 25 confirmed friendly marines. Payment is now 10000 credits. Expect danger.
A vehicle manufacturing plant owned by the Highlander Confederation is under attack from Empire forces. They want mercenary units to fly in, provide any support available, infantry, vehicular, or air. The plant is high in value, producing a large number of heavy tanks for the Confederation, and rumors of some Walking mechs that come out of those doors also. Payment is around 6000 credits. It will be a large scale battle, with several platoons on both sides duking it out.
