h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

As requested, I, Mystrunner, the Patron Saint of Assassins, bless this group of talented men and/or women.

-Mystrunner

Very good.

*drinks some "holy" water*

*Drinks some instead.*

You are welcome...

*sits back in comfy chair, which seems to be following him around*

So, how did you get into the buisness? I'm Axe by the way, and my claim to fame is being the only person around here with qualifications in the ancient arts of Sniping, Engineering and Bartending.

Oh, it was the mystique that first drew me in...

Now, it's meeting all the new people.

*drinks some of the slightly less holy water kept behind the bar* You know, we could use somebody with your talents. I saw your gear lists. Impressive. I notice you specialize in close combat, am I correct? We don't have such a person...

No, I don't think we do. BTW venom, I need your callsign.

Hmmm... yes, close combat and assassination. Do you have room in your coven for one such as I?

And if you do, I am obliged to invite you all to join the Knights of h2g2.

*pauses, and looks for tea*

I think we've got room, but you'd have to speak to Njan or Krans (in no particular order) to see about the Knights membership.

*makes Mystrunner a cup of *

thanks greatly.

Axe, my callsign is Support 1. (My official qualification is pilot)

Thanks.

*reprograms his field radio link*

And Myst, we should have room for you. Here's a gelsuit, a field pack, and a terminal pill which serves as our communications uplink and abort button. You swallow it. *gives him some to wash it down* The field pack has a medkit, some selected weapons, and our book "So you want to be a Mercenary". The gelsuit is a paper-thin morphing fabric which provides light sheilding and air filtration, as well as camo. It interfaces through your terminal pill, and can fold to the size of a

I'm sure you're supposed to ask Njan or Krans first...

And why didn't I get a free book when I joined?

Check your memories, it was input into your neural lace. We wanted to save space on the pill. And there is no real mercenary leader, Njan is unofficial leader but who cares? I'm qualified as a full-fledged mercenary, to allow people into the group. Besides, we need all the help we can get. Myst, you can shoot a gun, right?

*reads the e-book whilst watching Myst out of the corner of his eye*

Oh, yeah, there's some good stuff in there. Such as 15 different ways to kill your captors when armed with nothing more than handcuffs (on your wrists) and the shirt off your back.
