All right! I'm just about ready to deploy you all. I'm glad you didn't follow the "up to two sentences" limit; in retrospect that was rather silly. I added a character template by request to the original post in case more people enlist.
Hilda, your commander, General Ormphos, recommended you especially for this mission, knowing about your reckless attitude and sharp mind. He believes you have what it takes to push through and get the job done, and coming from him, this is a great compliment.
Lorren, you were selected for your mental agility, partially to serve as a lookout for your team, and partially to check Hilda in case her recklessness gets the better of her.
Ren, you were among the more knowledgeable of the hacker types who volunteered for the mission, having demonstrated under duress an impressive ability to hack a supposedly secure system the military provided just for the purpose. Pitifully, none of the others who tried were able to root the machine, which made you the rather obvious candidate.
Erin, General Ormphos was somewhat reluctant to place you on the mission due to mostly unfounded fears that you might snap and ruin the mission. Surprisingly, he allowed you on anyway, and it was only later that you accidentally learned that your psychologist, Dr. Mna, convinced him to let you on because you were "well suited" to the suicidal nature of the mission.
Blowing shit up shall commence soon.
