The h2g2 Mercenaries:: the official line

6 Conversations

Following Krans's departure from h2g2, the prolongued lack of activity of the mercenaries, the loss of several teammates, added to the general stagnation of the mercenaries, and numerous other factors, njan has made the sad decision to suspend the activity of the mercenaries indefinitely. If anyone feels that they'd particularly like to take up the baton and run with it, he'll be happy to hand the organisation over to them.

Many thanks to all of the people who've been involved with, and have fought against the mercenaries. Hopefully, some pleasure has come of the roleplaying which we've been part of. Happy days. Regards to all. I've left the rest of the page in original state for posterity's sake. -njan.

We are the few.

The elite.

The quick.

The silent.

The deadly.

        The h2g2 cantina's very own special ops mercenary team.

    We work for those to whom our allegiances fancy from week to week, wreaking a trail of silent destruction eloquently, disappearing in a flourish of black and a cloud of grey smoke just before anyone seems to find us.

    We work for who we want. We work when we want. We work the way we want. We do what we want.

    The mercenaries work in a small, closely bound, well-organised team. Our members are skilled in their fields, and are picked to work together in order to compliment each others skills. We work in close co-ordination, specialising in surgically carrying out whatever we are tasked to do, on a scale to suit all budgets

    The mercenaries arise from the h2g2 cantina, which during the cat/dog war commenced action on the part of the cats, whose organisation at the time was inferior to that of the militaristic doghouse. Njan and Krans formed the mercenaries, based nominally at the Cantina, and more practically based on, and supported by the General Systems Vehicle run by Njan and functioning as part of Njan and Krans's cantina. The mercenaries were, at the time, complimented by Doikk, who infiltrated the dog camp as a spy, allowing the mercenaries to keep a close eye on dog activities.

    The mercenaries were then joined by the ranks of Yowzupman and Captain Venom, in addition to the elusive Doikk, who currently functions under the auspices of the title "heavy support". Fronted by Njan and Krans, owners of the Cantina, and co-ordinated by the same, the mercenaries have undertaken several jobs, always well-paid, ranging from hostage extraction to organised chaos. Hostile takeovers and assassinations are also a speciality.

    Team members and specialties are:


        Njan: CQB, undetected operations, and co-ordination. Leader.


        Krans: Primary Sniper. Leader.


        Doikk: Heavy Weapons Support.


        Retox: Atmospheric logistics. Medic.


        Yowuzupman: Demolitions. - temporarily unavailable, but present in spirit



    Honourable Discharges:

  From time to time, we regret, we are apt to lose colleagues, and are sad to see people leave of their own accord. However, comrades are not forgotten, and we like to think that 'once a mercenary, always a mercenary'. As such, the following are to be saluted for their support, and whilst no longer active or officially affiliated with the mercenaries, will have their status honourably respected and their rights defended as befits any active member of the mercenaries. Comrades comporting themselves honourably are always welcome to return, and their company is always welcome. Legitimately retired colleagues are as follows:


        Comrade Axe: Former Sniper



    Dishonourable Discharges:

  As reasonable as the mercenaries try to be, and as tightly bound and loyal as our company is, we regret that adherance to the spirit of mercenarial conduct is not something to which it is possible for everyone to adhere, and regrettably find ourselves bound to have had to remove certain members from the ranks of the mercenaries in the past, a step which we do not take lightly. The members below, regardless of actions past and present, have conducted themselves in such a way as to lose the respect and allegiance of their peers, and are blacklisted and removed of rank and privilege accordingly .


        Captain Venom: Wanted, dead or alive. Bounty: 10 million credits.

Charges: Desertion in line of duty; External interests; Attacking comrades; Appropriation of mercenary equipment; Acting in a manner unbefitting a mercenary


        Mystrunner: Suspended pending investigation.




    We expect absolutely loyalty from our teammembers, and yield them the same. We never leave a man behind, and we watch the backs of our fellow members. Often working in subdivisions of two men, the mercenaries are extremely organised when embarking on operations, typically infilling * seperately before clustering and performing their mission objectives. From CQB * to logistics *, there is no function performed by mercenaries which is not needed.

    Pertinent extra-page locations:


        Cantina:: front page


        Starpilot:: Mercenary War Room


        GSV:: Public Internal bay

    For all prospective clients or employees, please feel free to inspect our working environment, study our MO *, and what you can access of how we work behind the scenes. We will almost certainly be curt and forthcoming with reasonable queries, but bear in mind that time is money. And we charge a great deal of money for the unique services which we render. Also, if fully engaged in work for a given client, our loyalties are bound to that client for such time as we are actively engaged in activities for that client or are made an offer considerably more attractive by another, whichever is the sooner. (This stated, we are unlikely to be "bought out" of an operation, especially where a deal is negotiated with a mercenary leader). To hire us, speak to either Njan or Krans, who represent the mercenaries in all things public. smiley -
