FREESPACE PRIVATEERS The lander rattled as it broke through the atmosphere. Fairbanks pressed his fingers to his temples as he concentrated on the ground below, the psionic amplifiers embedded in his skull vibrating with power funneled into his brain from the unknown beyond. Captain Lowan folded his assault rifle over his lap.”What do you see, Fairbanks?” “They've taken apart much of the city, rearranging the rubble into those spiral patterns, as they do.” “Any survivors?” The psion shook his head faintly, his expression unchanged. “No. I don't believe so.” “Too bad.” Lowan grit his teeth. “How many bugs are we looking at down there?” Fairbanks strained as he pressed his second sight. “Its difficult to say... hundreds? Maybe thousands? The hive mind makes it difficult for me to know for sure.” “Goddamn, it...” Lowan spit into the metal grating at his feet. “Our people in place? “Affirmative, Captain. I see that our scouts have forward positions and are setting up comstations. Slowing to a low hum, the ship made planetfall and the large doors began to bisect horizontally, the exit ramp detaching as bright, sunlit fog pierced the dimness of the transport bay. The braces unclasped and ejected the passengers to a standing position. “Alright, ladies, lock and load!” Captain Lowan grasped a nearby medic by the shoulder plate of his light-grade impact armor. “You, medic. What's your name?” “Harper, sir!” the medic answered, standing straight. “Alright, Harper. I need you to stand close by. I get pricked out there, I'm gonna need you handy with your magic bag. Savvy?” “Yes, Captain Lowan, sir!” The medic turned to run down the ramp with the rest of the troopers, eager to display bravery in front of his superior. A form, swift and sleek, darted in from the brilliant, yellow fog. In an instant, the man-sized, translucent insectoid tore through the medic with meter-long scythes, rending flesh, bone and impact armor with equal ease. Captain Lowan was first to react, loosing a lethal spray of bolts from his assault rifle and splattering the creature across the deployment ramp. “Aw, goddamn it...” he cursed, stomping his foot. “Uhm... man down! Er... medic!”
Culled from the rejects, deserters, and discharges from military forces throughout the Known Worlds, mercenary companies are a common sight in every backwater star port and outpost from Nexus City to the Zyntari Combine. Those with a cause and credits to spend will rarely have difficulty finding a privateer force to take up their banner, though trusting such individuals is another matter entirely.
