You should say I`m an asshole ex-ganger right now. I`ve seen my share of action in the Nigerian kingdoms, pipeline and such..Mostly driving wheels and running the machinery for anyone able to pay...mercs, runners, pirates, corps, that doesnt matter...sometime it seems like yesterday...sometime like some previous life...
Omar gazes on the table for the moment, something strange, maybe hatred, in his face, scratching one of scars on the face, the one that looks like fresh healed burn mark....and suddently its over...
"Well now I`m here. You guys serving together for a long time?"

[Loki]

"I'd rather think of meself as an asshole professional mercenary."  "I been with CC fer about 10 years. The gov'nor" he nods twords David, who still looks engrossed in reports " 'as been around a bit too. 'e worked in the contracts department before joinin us grunts, but don't let 'is pretty face fool ya. 'e can keep up 'is end of the rough stuff. Bu'cha deployed with us a couple of times then went back to school. Guess 'e needs more tuition, or missed the action."

[Sentinemodo]

Guess I am an eternal student. I am so stupid, I need to study more then all of you together.

[Loki]

"Only studyin your short on is the Gov'nor's tricks with the ladies and 'e cheats."

[Sichr]

Im still fascinated by fact that females should study at all. But taking this as an oportunity, you should really enjoy the times in the campus...and you even dont have to pay or use violence. Like I said...Fascinating....

[Sentinemodo]

I try to avoid ... distractions.

[Sichr]

First you have to study distractions.
Next you should study how to avoid them.
If you complete this two disciplines succesfully
you should study the original topic...
Thats why you are still a student, I understand...

[Loki]

"Life's short, enjoy the occasional distraction. There's this great new strip bar in the CAS sector. The lot of us should hit it  tonight, get ya around some approachable women, build your confidence for bigger battles" Eyeing the bartender during the last part. "A couple of Ryan's Roughnecks hang out there, so maybe get a good brawl on too."

[Sichr]

Now this sounds like fun ...

[Sentinemodo]

First you have to study distractions.

There are too many different kind of distractions to study them, and even then if you'd try to study them, there are distractions to studying distractions, including sometimes an original topic, forming recurrencies you may not be able to resolve. Moreover in my limited education I have not yet discovered the discipline that might be as you said 'completed succesfully' and if you claim you did who am I to challenge you sensei.

To learn is to ask and the aneswers you get usually generate more questions - such was the eternal journey to enlightment. I am only wiser by increasing number of unanswered questions. Having no more questions to aneswer may be mistaken for transcendency, but by fools such as myself it may also be mistaken for ignorance.    

[Sichr]

Sounds to me like many words used to describe simple things...no offense, I prefere more ... linear thinking problem - solution. I`m a bit analytic and Im afraid that it is absoultely useles task to try to find the truth. So I live amogst lies, and use just what I need to survive...succesfully...to this point...but you never know the day....so why care?

[Sentinemodo]

None taken. Salute morituri.
Butcher sip from soycaf.

[Loki]

"That's a damn good philosophy mate"

[Sichr]

Doesnt matter. Maybe we should help you next time with those distractions, Butch. All you need is to get us into the campus, and whe would take care of every drop of alcohol and every sweet chick that would threaten your concentration. Hell, thats what the teammates are for, don`t you agree boys? We should sacrifice ourselves for your bright future with the academic title...
And sound filters...you have something like that, don`t you. You would definitely need them to filter out the nooiiiz of our efforts...

[Uncle Vabka]

* laughs loudly*

Ja Butch, this idea made in fun actually sounds pretty good. There has to be a party somewhere on campus tonight... I think we should crash it... I would like to see some jock or other try and kick us out of their frat hoolie... Course, the boss might not take too kindly to us all getting busted...

As for experience, I have only been in the CC about 4 months, that spent on orientation and running some specialist demo courses for some rookies. Brought in at the same rank as David here, mainly due to the fact that I can make all sorts of stuff go "boom" in a variety of interesting ways. Can stop it doing that too. Don't have "command seniority" though yet, whatever the fokk that means. Did 3 hitches with a couple of other outfits before signing up here, mainly in the Congo Tribal Lands and the Amazonian/Azzie border wars... been killing and blowing up shit for money for over a decade... had some experience getting royally fokked over too... best leave it at that though... the past is the past and I am not too keen on revisiting it, ja? The colonel seems like a straight up commander and this outfit is pretty good considering its size.

Fokk it - we crashing a frat party and banging some college birds or what?
