It was another session down at the Archangel chapel. Drinks were being passed around and emptied, laughs and giggles were mixing around, and the smell of burnt synthetic marijuana was present in the air. The men gathered and started to take their seats around the common table as Sunny came into the room. By the looks of things, he didn't look to be in his best moods.
Some men quickly caught on to the president's mood and quickly scrambled to take their seats while others followed their lead. The room soon became quiet as Sunny lit a spiff and puffed in the air.
"Gentlemen... my Brothers..." , he started and the room was quiet and all attention was on him. "...we have a new threat against a club. A threat threat that will try to harm our partying and business to it's core."
The room started to rumbled as the members talked amongst each other in surprise. Who could it be that is new?
"You all know the Outcasts and how they are a force to be met with. Now we have a new group in-front of our headlights, and they are already making plans against us as we speak! The Gas Miners Guild!"
The room was quite for a moment and all stared at Sunny before they noticed a smirk on the side of his lip. Suddenly the room erupted with laughter including Sunny along with it.
"Haha... a group of miners... challenging us with... ahahaa.. Alright alright... I know it sounds [removed] up." He said to quiet down the members again. "These miners are not the hegemon runners we usually know. They have their own claimed.... military."
The room bursts out laughing some more and they all drink to cool off.
Sunny resumes. "Alright alright that is enough. Serious now. They are a threat and have claimed they will want to take over Newport from us. As you know Newport is a key location and HQ to our Exotic Entertainment business, not to mention we have a duty to look after the station on behalf of the freelancer civilians out there. That base cannot go no where.
"I have already sent a relay to the corsairs for assistance in helping to fend off the angry miners. Additionally, we are at war with them as well. At the moment, however, we are on the DEFENCIVE. I do not want us to fire the first strike unless you detect them as a threat."
Sunny takes another puff from his spiff and presses a button on the table. Suddenly, a hologram appears above.
"The indicated blue zone is where we are to patrol. We will need to make sure our supplies get through any blocking by the GMG. If they are to come into the yellow zone you are to give one warning. The red zone means you are free to fire at will as they have come close enough to be considered dangerous to the base. Take record of what happens. I will reward you for taking care of business, and also keep in mind the corsairs will not mind paying as well for some target swiping....
"BUT remember! We don't fire unless needed. For now. Further orders will come as this situation progresses.
"In addition, I am also uploading other maps to your data pads. Look at them at your own leisure. Remember, Blue is patrol area, Yellow is warning area, and Red is where you can fire when you feel is needed. More info on this will be in the Archangel Code Book."
