((Jesus, clusterfuck of posts.))
You plan on recruiting Lars, Keith, Telm, and Jak. You haggle with Telm, trying to bring down his price a tad, and eventually, he agrees. 600 credits.
After paying 1500 to get them requisitions, you add their overall salaries to your monthly pay. You head back to base with your new recruits, and have Lilith and Gordon go grab them some empty rooms. It seems Gordon and Lars have seemed to hit it off initially. It might be an advantage for you to assign them in the same squad.
Speaking of squads, you now have enough for two easily manageable 4-5 person squads, with you leading one, and Gordon leading the other. This will allow you to cover more territory, and fulfill more objectives by spreading your team out.
Anyway, you check your computer, looking for assignments. You haven't been hit up by the squad leader from the station, so you assume you are not required for any assistance. Yet.
There are two jobs available:
A small moon colony on one of the Highlander's worlds is under attack. The colony has been researching some new kind of technology that might give them an edge over the imminent Kapellan attack. Payment is 7000 credits to help fight back the assault. Both sides contain several squads of soldiers, and the Kapellans that are leading the assault have some light armor. Danger is overall low, but it is a large fight, and quite hectic.
The Highlanders are currently trying to retake the vehicular factory that was overrun a couple days ago. This is actually the very same factory that was offered in a defense contract a few days ago. It's close the size of the fight on the moon colony, but if you are not up for large scale engagements, you can always sneak in the back, black operations style. Payment is 5000 credits, but there is only a few dozen engaged in either side, instead of nearly a hundred.
