The rest of the squad moves on, leaving Michelle behind in the nest. There are some sighs of relief and worrying comments about the recent events. But the squad re-sharpens themselves again, focusing on the task at hand.

“Nova, send out the notice for the bounty with the coordinates.”
“Will do.”
The small antenna extends itself further into the air to extend the communication range.
“Transferring data to Atlas HQ…….. Data send.”
“Message received. Initiating text to speech.”

“Bounty #5478-F9 ‘Locate a live nest’ confirmed to be completed.
Longitude/ Latitude coordinates: 23.473324, 17.402344
Reward amount of (30.000 Kredits) to be dispensed
Optional: ‘Locate a queen’ confirmed to be completed.
Additional funds (40.000 Kredits) added to the reward.
Reward funds added to hunter ‘Reynard "Crimson Lightning" Durant’ with the hunter tag #H554395.
Hunter validity…… To be confirmed by contractor.
Bounty completed.”

Reynards hud starts blinking as the amount of kredits is increased.
“That was easy.”

Meanwhile the group distances themselves from the somewhat familiar terrain deeper into the hot plains. Slowly in the distance you can see the hoppers disappearing, as they crawl back into their holes. The geysers are nowhere in sight, so a good couple of hours of walking is still needed.

“How long until we arrive at the geyser fields?”
“Taking in account our current speed about….. 8 hours. However, my weather radar at HQ detected fluctuating weather. The weather may drastically change in the following hours.”

Looking into the sky, it’s still clear blue with 2 of the moons orbiting in the far distance. Though if what Nova says is true, we might be in for a surprise.

"I will admit, that was weirder than what I am used for. You don't meet talking crawlies every day..."

In her heart, Veliane immediately regretted saying this in the com-link. She hated joking around during missions, and she just did that...
Anywa. She resumed with a more "professional" tone.
"We should get moving now. Let's get the prime quick, and hope Michelle will come out in one piece."

"I don't think she'll have much to be afraid of. Those bodies were shot, stripped, and dumped in there, probably by someone who didn't know they left bones, which means they don't go into the nest."
Ahroni trailed off nervously,"There's not so many people who'd do something like that anymore, what with space going all civilized..."

"We've got a job, though. Not worth worrying about bogeymen." Follow along, mostly undeterred.

Name: Veliane Mirelante
Codename: The Ebon Comet
Gender: F
Age: 57

Notable Characteristics:
-She has short wavy black hair tied in the back during service
-Brown eyes
Hidden characteristics :
-Her body is battle scared after many missions
-She wears a pendant with a beautiful cyan gem

Bio:
Veliane Mirelante was born on the peaceful and prosperous planet of Vanguard, formerly known as Gliese 832 c. She belonged to the 3rd generation of colonist and to the 1st generation of Vanguard-born. She led a tranquil life for the majority of her years, working as a security agent for Armon's Aegis, a private security company operating in her hometown.

When she was around 30 years old, an important economical crisis befell on the whole Gliese 832 system. With the development of new space-faring technologies and the discovery of more resource-rich and habitable worlds, the colonization era reached its peak. This was bad news for the Gliese system, which was one of the few first system colonized during the great expansion. But it shouldn't have sent the whole system in total misery, as the main companies responsible for the economy of the system still had the means to make the system prosper.

But in a cruel show of greed, all major company retracted their support for the Gliese 832 system and redirected their resources toward the new worlds. It took less than a year for the once prosperous planet to plunge into the depth of poverty and misery, reminiscent of the 1st Mars Crisis of XXXX. Armon's Aegis went bankrupt along many other companies, and Veliane left the system. From her home planet, she only kept some souvenirs, including a pendant encrusted with a Vanguard-native gem. She also always kept a huge grudge toward the companies involved since that day, especially toward Starfront Corp, who retracted first and convinced most big companies to follow suit.

Using her past as a security agent, she went off to live a life of mercenary with many past coworkers and friends. They formed the renowned Vanguard Brigade, as a homage for their ruined home planet. Contracting for private clients, sometime for the military, she traveled far and wide across the stars, even having the occasion to visit the famous planet Earth. Despite being in a mercenary group, she worked generally alone, taking care of most solo missions. But she never shunned teaming up with her friends and coworkers when the times called for it. They had the habit to reunite regularly, generally after long and exhausting missions, at the Mourning Wood, a bar run by a fellow Vanguardian.

Her mercenary codename is the Ebon Comet. She named herself like this as a joke with her best friend, Kimberly, whose mercenary codename was the Ivory Sun. She teamed up with her the most out of every other mercenaries, especially on tough missions. They held a friendly rivalry during work, but were inseparable friends out of it.

Then when news of the discovery of the 1st XL-Terran type planet holding alien life spread across the networks, Veliane and her friends jumped on the occasion. With promises of riches and glory, she headed toward Atlas. Deep inside her heart, she hoped to pay back the companies involved for the Vanguard tragedy.

Name: Mari Bryan
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Notable Characteristics:
Mari is a woman of average height, with long shoulder-length green hair (dyed. The natural color is black.) She is very pale, having rarely seen the sun where she was born.
Bio: Mari's reasons for working aren't so elaborate as running from a corporation, or adventure, or whatever else people come to the planet for. She just wants money. Her family is dirt poor, practically slaves working in factories whenever they're not sleeping. And yet they paid for her education. She didn't have to work in the factory. Thing is, they could just barely pay for her education; they couldn't pay for her license as a doctor or a mechanic or anything like that. This was her only option that wouldn't leave her in the factories for the rest of her life. But no, she's not going to settle for enough money to make her own livelihood. She is going to give her family a life too. She has already negotiated her contract so that they receive money proportional to her own payment. They didn't have many individuals with medical experience applying for such a dangerous job, you see.
She went through basic training before joining, of course. Medic or not, they'd not hire her if she couldn't defend herself. She found herself to actually be a better shot then most of the trainees, at least with suit-level weaponry.

Starting Skills:
Bio:Raised in a community orphanage, Michelle was taught to be loyal, kind and obedient for the quite simple reason they didn't do their job at the orphanage because they loved children they did I lt because they needed money and it was all they could get so anyone who wasn't "nice" or "loyal" or "obedient "got beaten senseless. For years she suffered from not being able to identify her purpose in life or to express herself in fear of being harmed by the orphanage caretakers. Michelle felt like breathing in fresh air once she left the orphanage,  she was finally able to look for meaning in her life. For once Michelle felt alive, realizing that the only thing that mattered, was being honest simply because it was the only thing she had never been allowed to be,she found it felt infinitely easier and she felt better when everyone knows how you feel
To her honesty is the best policy because it's an opposite to everything she was taught and she's enjoying that more and more by the second especially since she got those caretakers oh so arrested

Gender: M
Age: 76
Notable Characteristics: Although there are a few small scars, the only major injury Ahroni Yahat has suffered is to his spine, suffered when the frigate Hangman's Heart was rammed into an asteroid mining facility. Replacing most of his spinal column is a segmented bionic equivalent with a red chrome shell. His hair is dark and stiff, his eyes are green, and his skin is fairly tan.
Bio: Born on one of the older orbital factories, Ahroni Yahat was sent to and raised on Argos, a floating island nation. Never having much of a social life, Ahroni managed to earn enough to begin a higher education at the age of twenty-eight. Having picked up a solid engineering background and looking for a fast track to a better life, he signed on to a Vanguard based ship privateering for the big money in the area as an mechanic, and participated in the capture of several colony ships and the First Sacking of Dunnerhan. The privateer business never terribly reliable to begin with, business dried up almost completely when the new colonies establishing themselves started hiring security forces, and Yahat bounced between various mercenary and criminal groups over the next fifteen years. Becoming repeatedly frustrated by the low pay and ever increasing bounty on his head,  he began a string of disastrous mutinies, including the sabotage of the Hangman's Heart, Ahroni eventually found themselves nearly unemployable, hounded by bounty hunters, and souring of his old lifestyle. Retired for a few years under a false name in, somewhat ironically, the hellhole that Vanguard had become, he found his old captain, who told him about Aegis, a place that didn't care about your past. A few days later, Ahroni found themselves in orbit around Atlas, his last chance at the quick buck he was promised so many years ago.

Bio: Reynard was born in one of the less safe cities of the USA. Law enforcement was powerless as crime ran rampant. It took a mere 12 years of his life for an armed group of burglars to claim the lives of his parents. He barely managed to hide himself from his family's killers. Newly orphaned and without any relatives to take him into their care, he turned to crime himself for the sake of survival.

As time passed, the crimes he committed increased in severity. Shoplifting evolved into stealing, which evolved into mugging and so on. Soon, Reynard found himself a member of one of the many gangs in the area. By some cruel twist of fate, its leader was the one who ended his parents. Unable to exact his revenge for fear of his own life, he spent a few years wreaking havoc on the city alongside his nemesis.

More time passed. He amassed enough funds to leave to a better place. Thanks to a great deal of luck, he was never caught nor identified by the police. He realized that his life cannot go on like this. Seizing the opportunity, he finally put a bullet inside the head of the man he hated and left his hometown for greener pastures. He joined the army, hoping that it would help him forget about the atrocities he committed on the innocent, whether by simply forgetting or by meeting oblivion.

Even more time passed. Life as a soldier was surprisingly comfortable and all his combat deployments unusually smooth. He figured that a life filled with violence does make one a good killing machine. He moved up the ranks, gained command of a squad of his own. A routine peacekeeping deployment in Africa didn't sound that dangerous. It was. Some kind of prototype weapon or suit wiped out his entire team. Once again, Reynard's luck saved him. Whatever weapon vaporized all his comrades, it only took his right arm. Although his arm was generously replaced, he was discharged from the army for reasons unknown.

In the present, Reynard Durant has made a name for himself as a freelance mercenary. His speed and agility during battle, along with his red suit gave him the nickname he later took up as his callsign. Hearing of Atlas and its dangers, he joined a group of mercenaries heading there.

A couple hours later the squad finds itself nearly at the designed gathering site. Over the past few hours the sky dimmed as the day transitioned into the evening.
“Ah, it’s nearly night. I love it. I can see the stars in the night sky then.
Oh, do you guys want to know about the days on Atlas?”

Some agree and nod a bit, stating that it might come in handy or that it will relieve some of the tension currently present.
“Alright, listen up!. You could think that a bigger planet has longer days right? Because of the size and all. But size surprisingly doesn’t have much weigh in that matter, rotational speed is what counts! Millions of years ago when this planet was created, it gained some inertia. This influences how fast the planet spins around it’s axis and the amount of sun each area on the planet gets.

Earth has a day of 24 hours. Now, I did tell you that size doesn’t matter for the longevity of days, but Atlas’s days are about 4 hours longer. Which is quite funny as Oylif and his friends had trouble adapting to this which resulted in many many restless nights and frustrations.”

Reynard knows what Nova is talking about, as he makes a comment.
“I get you. 4 hours ain’t bad, 60 hour days however those are a nightmare. You can sleep twice and there’s still light outside and don’t get me started about the nights. At that point you throw away any week and month cycles as they don’t mean squat. I even got sunburned there because I slept in the open.

Another thing were the temperatures during the day it was bloody hot. You could fry things in the open and at night you could go and take a whizz and it would freeze within seconds.”

So for a bit Reynard talked about his experience, but he omitted telling any names or secret bits of information else they would have his head if he were to be found out.

Meanwhile the sky progressively gets darker and darker until only the sunlight is visible at the horizons. Suddenly the weather rapidly changes for the worst.
Wind speed starts increasing and dark clouds cover the sky, thunder crackles and droplets of rain fall down until after a while it’s full blown rain. Visibility absolutely disappears and the only way to see each other is through the turned on mech lights and the infra-red sensors.
The weather brings another surprise as Nova warns the group.

“Incoming heat signatures at our position, 300m North-West of our location, 5 signatures detected, approaching fast. No information about the the creatures, assume not friendly.”

As nova finishes the warning, your huds flash with the updated information and a map.

Bio:
Veliane Mirelante was born on the peaceful and prosperous planet of Vanguard, formerly known as Gliese 832 c. She belonged to the 3rd generation of colonist and to the 1st generation of Vanguard-born. She led a tranquil life for the majority of her years, working as a security agent for Armon's Aegis, a private security company operating in her hometown.

When she was around 30 years old, an important economical crisis befell on the whole Gliese 832 system. With the development of new space-faring technologies and the discovery of more resource-rich and habitable worlds, the colonization era reached its peak. This was bad news for the Gliese system, which was one of the few first system colonized during the great expansion. But it shouldn't have sent the whole system in total misery, as the main companies responsible for the economy of the system still had the means to make the system prosper.

But in a cruel show of greed, all major company retracted their support for the Gliese 832 system and redirected their resources toward the new worlds. It took less than a year for the once prosperous planet to plunge into the depth of poverty and misery, reminiscent of the 1st Mars Crisis of XXXX. Armon's Aegis went bankrupt along many other companies, and Veliane left the system. From her home planet, she only kept some souvenirs, including a pendant encrusted with a Vanguard-native gem. She also always kept a huge grudge toward the companies involved since that day, especially toward Starfront Corp, who retracted first and convinced most big companies to follow suit.

Using her past as a security agent, she went off to live a life of mercenary with many past coworkers and friends. They formed the renowned Vanguard Brigade, as a homage for their ruined home planet. Contracting for private clients, sometime for the military, she traveled far and wide across the stars, even having the occasion to visit the famous planet Earth. Despite being in a mercenary group, she worked generally alone, taking care of most solo missions. But she never shunned teaming up with her friends and coworkers when the times called for it. They had the habit to reunite regularly, generally after long and exhausting missions, at the Mourning Wood, a bar run by a fellow Vanguardian.

Her mercenary codename is the Ebon Comet. She named herself like this as a joke with her best friend, Kimberly, whose mercenary codename was the Ivory Sun. She teamed up with her the most out of every other mercenaries, especially on tough missions. They held a friendly rivalry during work, but were inseparable friends out of it.

Then when news of the discovery of the 1st XL-Terran type planet holding alien life spread across the networks, Veliane and her friends jumped on the occasion. With promises of riches and glory, she headed toward Atlas. Deep inside her heart, she hoped to pay back the companies involved for the Vanguard tragedy.

Name: Mari Bryan
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Notable Characteristics:
Mari is a woman of average height, with long shoulder-length green hair (dyed. The natural color is black.) She is very pale, having rarely seen the sun where she was born.
Bio: Mari's reasons for working aren't so elaborate as running from a corporation, or adventure, or whatever else people come to the planet for. She just wants money. Her family is dirt poor, practically slaves working in factories whenever they're not sleeping. And yet they paid for her education. She didn't have to work in the factory. Thing is, they could just barely pay for her education; they couldn't pay for her license as a doctor or a mechanic or anything like that. This was her only option that wouldn't leave her in the factories for the rest of her life. But no, she's not going to settle for enough money to make her own livelihood. She is going to give her family a life too. She has already negotiated her contract so that they receive money proportional to her own payment. They didn't have many individuals with medical experience applying for such a dangerous job, you see.
She went through basic training before joining, of course. Medic or not, they'd not hire her if she couldn't defend herself. She found herself to actually be a better shot then most of the trainees, at least with suit-level weaponry.

Starting Skills:
Bio:Raised in a community orphanage, Michelle was taught to be loyal, kind and obedient for the quite simple reason they didn't do their job at the orphanage because they loved children they did I lt because they needed money and it was all they could get so anyone who wasn't "nice" or "loyal" or "obedient "got beaten senseless. For years she suffered from not being able to identify her purpose in life or to express herself in fear of being harmed by the orphanage caretakers. Michelle felt like breathing in fresh air once she left the orphanage,  she was finally able to look for meaning in her life. For once Michelle felt alive, realizing that the only thing that mattered, was being honest simply because it was the only thing she had never been allowed to be,she found it felt infinitely easier and she felt better when everyone knows how you feel
To her honesty is the best policy because it's an opposite to everything she was taught and she's enjoying that more and more by the second especially since she got those caretakers oh so arrested

Gender: M
Age: 76
Notable Characteristics: Although there are a few small scars, the only major injury Ahroni Yahat has suffered is to his spine, suffered when the frigate Hangman's Heart was rammed into an asteroid mining facility. Replacing most of his spinal column is a segmented bionic equivalent with a red chrome shell. His hair is dark and stiff, his eyes are green, and his skin is fairly tan.
Bio: Born on one of the older orbital factories, Ahroni Yahat was sent to and raised on Argos, a floating island nation. Never having much of a social life, Ahroni managed to earn enough to begin a higher education at the age of twenty-eight. Having picked up a solid engineering background and looking for a fast track to a better life, he signed on to a Vanguard based ship privateering for the big money in the area as an mechanic, and participated in the capture of several colony ships and the First Sacking of Dunnerhan. The privateer business never terribly reliable to begin with, business dried up almost completely when the new colonies establishing themselves started hiring security forces, and Yahat bounced between various mercenary and criminal groups over the next fifteen years. Becoming repeatedly frustrated by the low pay and ever increasing bounty on his head,  he began a string of disastrous mutinies, including the sabotage of the Hangman's Heart, Ahroni eventually found themselves nearly unemployable, hounded by bounty hunters, and souring of his old lifestyle. Retired for a few years under a false name in, somewhat ironically, the hellhole that Vanguard had become, he found his old captain, who told him about Aegis, a place that didn't care about your past. A few days later, Ahroni found themselves in orbit around Atlas, his last chance at the quick buck he was promised so many years ago.

Bio: Reynard was born in one of the less safe cities of the USA. Law enforcement was powerless as crime ran rampant. It took a mere 12 years of his life for an armed group of burglars to claim the lives of his parents. He barely managed to hide himself from his family's killers. Newly orphaned and without any relatives to take him into their care, he turned to crime himself for the sake of survival.

As time passed, the crimes he committed increased in severity. Shoplifting evolved into stealing, which evolved into mugging and so on. Soon, Reynard found himself a member of one of the many gangs in the area. By some cruel twist of fate, its leader was the one who ended his parents. Unable to exact his revenge for fear of his own life, he spent a few years wreaking havoc on the city alongside his nemesis.

More time passed. He amassed enough funds to leave to a better place. Thanks to a great deal of luck, he was never caught nor identified by the police. He realized that his life cannot go on like this. Seizing the opportunity, he finally put a bullet inside the head of the man he hated and left his hometown for greener pastures. He joined the army, hoping that it would help him forget about the atrocities he committed on the innocent, whether by simply forgetting or by meeting oblivion.

Even more time passed. Life as a soldier was surprisingly comfortable and all his combat deployments unusually smooth. He figured that a life filled with violence does make one a good killing machine. He moved up the ranks, gained command of a squad of his own. A routine peacekeeping deployment in Africa didn't sound that dangerous. It was. Some kind of prototype weapon or suit wiped out his entire team. Once again, Reynard's luck saved him. Whatever weapon vaporized all his comrades, it only took his right arm. Although his arm was generously replaced, he was discharged from the army for reasons unknown.

In the present, Reynard Durant has made a name for himself as a freelance mercenary. His speed and agility during battle, along with his red suit gave him the nickname he later took up as his callsign. Hearing of Atlas and its dangers, he joined a group of mercenaries heading there.
