”I don’t believe it” Goldsteins voice was incredulous. He stared at the masses of people lining up to get their share of the frontier cake. A tinge of pride crept up and allowed itself to manifest in his features, he held himself a little straighter, his smile was just that much broader. At the plaza, People were taking to the idea of reclaiming their old world like it was the word of god that had ordered it. “You shouldn’t be surprised. These are the inheritors of people who survived an apocalypse.” Banjo mused as the two stood high on top on of the rooftops of Ambrosia, overlooking the plaza. “They need every ounce of grit and determination for what awaits them.” The mutant spoke as he noted a arbiter steering some dodgy looking fellows away from the crowd. He wondered what Jenny and her network made of all this. They had talen this position so that they may discuss what was about to happen in peace, while still having a good idea of what they had to work with. “The one with the spear.” Omegas voice rang out melodiously from a patch of darkness. Goldstein almost lost his footing as her sudden appearance startled him. He glanced over at her as she stepped out into the light. The darkness that she had stepped from sucked right into her dark crystal. “I’m sorry?” Goldberg asked, not sure who or what she was referring to. “That one. With the spear. He is a former member of the pledge, his integrity is unmarred. “ Banjo appeared to continue her line of thought without needing a explanation. “The eager one as well. Add him to the list for the squad.” Banjo pointed at the man who had burst out with a loud “Yes!” and startled people around him. “The young officer will also be added. That is Officer Cheng yes? They are going to need the authority his badge provides. And he come highly recommended by Commander Mendez.” Goldstein finally figured out what was going on, and got on the ball. They were handpicking people simply by looking for those who stood out among the masses. “Talbot has picked out two hunters to join your private little endeavor. A giant killer for anything out of the ordinary, and a Tamer, in case we come across a breed that could be properly domesticated.” “There is two more of my kind coming along. One of fire, one of lightning.” Omega spoke. “I need the ADF to not make fuss about the lightning girls past." By the way she said it, it was clear there was raider history in said girls past. “There is clemency for former raiders who have taken up arms in the name of Settler protection. One of my people is a former raider. He’s proven useful so far. We are sending him with you by the way.” The ADF second in command spoke. The Germanic looking redhead had kept quiet untill now. Watching over the plaza with intense and unbroken concentration she had only spoken when spoken to or when she had something to add to the conversation. A military type to the core. “A past is not so easily cast aside.” Banjo spoke. “Not everyone is ready to forgive the crimes of others.” He fingered the knife at his belt as he spoke. There was no harshness in his voice, no rancor. “True. And the fire mage?” Claudia asked, raising a single eyebrow. “The Pyromancer is cunning and clever. And a talented Seer at that.” Omega spoke. “Manipulative to I’ve been told. Burned bridges and her are no strangers.” Banjo said, a faint noise of disapproval in his otherwise cool voice. “The burly one will work nicely as a counterweight then. From what I know, he does not trust us mages.” Omega snorted as her companion showed his disproval of her choices. This was the game between two powerful and old players. Goldstein was clearly uncomfterble with their conversation taking on a challenging tone. "Allright. So we have our list. Good." Claudia said. If she was at all worried about the sudden barbs towards one another, it didn't show on ther face. She had allready sent the visuals to her men on the ground and their chosen few would find themselves given a ------------ "Joséf Bartosz" The man at the recruitment station said as he looked the haggard looking hunter in the eyes. The hunter stared back unflinching. He he hadn't told this man his name yet. He was sensing something was up. The powers that be had a interest in him it seemed. "You've been keyed for the special frontiers group" The recruiter continued, confirming Josefs suspicions. His companion raised a eyebrow at that. "The what?" She asked the question for Josef who was taking it all stride. Much to the fiery haired exterminators annoyance. Here he was being given special importance and he acted like nothing was going on. "Special Frontiers Group. I hear the hotshots been putting together task groups for this whole thing. Speaking of which. You have been asked to assembly at the Silos right outside the gate. They have a high prio mission for you guys from the get go." "Hmm" Josef took the paper and read it over. It appeared they had been handpicked for this Without making a fuss about it he shook hands with the recruiter. "Be seeing ya Ronja." He said as he knocked fists with the exterminator woman. He walked at a brisk and steady pace, curiosity tugging at his boots with every step. The silos were a collection of large, red and tubular buildings that were right on the inside of the gates, all the cities grain and wheat was funneled into them before being redistrubeted. As he arrived, it wasnt hard to find their supposed contact. Standing by one of the massive containers was no other then Claudia Ulrecht. The ADF second in command. Two ADF soldiers flanked her. The woman was only 5'5 but had the poise and presence of a four star general. "You are the first to arrive." She stated flatly. "Welcome to the Special Frontiers Group." ---- There was a crackle as someone tried to contact Cheng over the com. He leaned into the walkie talkie and thumbed in the frequency for a private line. "YEs?" He asked, as he kept people moving towards or away from recruitment stations. The air was full of nervous excitment and more then once he had to stop a fight from breaking out as people began to shoving. "This is Captain Mendez." The gruff voice on the other rang out. Cheng stiffened. The Captain? What on earth could he want with him specifically. "Captain Mendez Sir. How can I help you." He asked, equal amount baffled and terrified. "Drop what you are doing nad head for the Silo. You have been asked for by the ADF" The Captain said, not offering any sort of explanation in the least. "I've been what?" Cheng answered. No less bewildrered then before. "No time to explain, Move officer Cheng or I will have your badge." "Roger that Sir." -Guideline- Whoever you go to for recruitment, will have been given a description of what you look like as we have been handpicked to spearhead the effort.
