p Security Guards required for 6 month contract,
extendable. Blata Security will offer basic fire arms
training but Gun-1 or better preferred. Applicants
should have clean records and be presentable. Cr100 a
week. Call stu @ rer.bla.pax.
The job entails doing routine guard duty at the local base.
Personnel alternate between gate and corridor/desk duty, and
work a 3 way shift. Blata are a rather shabby outfit and
will often cut corners. Expect weapons to be at least 1 TL
below the local military level, and to be charged Cr20 for
weapon training if required, docked from first pay packet.
And don't worry if that record isn't perfectly clean. For
each week on duty roll 2D. On a 12 roll 1D for an incident:
1 Your patrol buddy pulls his gun on you whilst he
starts hacking into a computer that's been left
unsecured.
2 On an indoor patrol you see two people
disappearing down the corridor. The room they've
just left is the base commanders and is now a
shambles. The two are armed with laser pistols
and are from local peace group looking for
incriminating evidence concerning bioagent tests.
3 An explosion, and then another rocks the
compound. As you go to investigate 4 Resolve G
Carriers scream across the boundary fence, fusion
guns blaring. The rebellion has arrived!
4 On gate duty you here the distant sound of music
and chanting. It gets closer and soon you are
confronted by a huge crowd demanding to see the
base commander about the bioagent testing being
carried out at Diongu Flats. You keep your cool,
and a G5 officer manage to start reasoning with
them. Suddenly there's the crack-thump of a high
velocity bullet and one of the crowd's leaders
goes down. "Murderers!" shout the crowd as they
start to charge, but you're sure you saw the
muzzle flash over in that high rise.......
5 It was a good party last night, and boy are you
tired. Just a few minutes kip, no one will know.
Unfortunately your boss turns up and your out of a
job. And the Cr100 "fine".
6 In a bar one night you're approached by a woman
who says she's seen you down at the base. She says
she and a friend want to get into the base to get
some data on the biowar work being done there. She
shows you a covertly obtained video of the
effects of the agents, and explains the risks to
the local population, especially if the base gets
attacked. Lucan's Imperium is close, and an
assault is rumoured. Do you help her.....?
If you do you soon discover that her friend is an
explosives expert from Lucan's Special Forces,
and she is Laser Carbine - 5!

p Businesswoman seeks chauffer and personal aide.
Candidates must be smart and self reliant and have
Grav-1. Apply Angie @ rer.dada.csec
Hilary Ganton is the MD of Dadaquay, one of the planets main
finance houses. The world is suffering a bit from tension s
between rival rebellion factions, and there has been at
least one attempt on Hilary's life so far. What is being
looked for, discreetly, is a bodyguard. Pay is Cr170 a week,
and the contract initially for 6 months. For each week in
employ roll 2D. On a 12 roll 1D for an incident:
1 Last night you found a bomb under the Heigra air-
raft. No problem, the local EOD team defused it.
But now there appears to be a slight problem with
the grav units, and there's a suspicous looking
air raft approaching fast....
To land safely with failing grav units:
Difficult, Grav Veh, Dex, 10 sec ( hazardous,
fateful )
2 Walking out of the corporation building an
assassin opens fire....
To push Hilary out of the line of fire:
Difficult, Str, Dex, Instant ( fateful )
Referee: Hilary wears a mesh jacket which will
reduce any injury done to her.
3 You are in a crowded shop with Hilary and her PA,
Angie. A shot rings out, but misses Hilary. You go
for your gun, but it's stuck in the shoulder
holster. The gunman is ready for another shot, but
Angie has her gun out and downs him. Your sacked,
and Hilary and Angie go looking for another
"decoy" bodyguard.
4 The shuttle has just reached orbit, and it's a 30
min wait till docking. An explosion rips through
the ship.......
5 You're flying the speeder back from a visit to a
distant city. The craft's a Meterior Speeder and
you're clicking up almost 1000 kph. Then radar
shows two traces converging on you. Their ID's are
local police, but a Gauss blast soon shows they're
not about to hand out a speeding ticket....
Referee: The speeders are modified Venery's,
usually a police vehicle, but in this case they
are in camo and have been upgraded to a TL14
design for use by Lucan's Special Forces. The loss
of Hilary would throw her company, and a sizeable
part of the world's business, into disarray. In an
economic coup Lucan's followers will take control,
and so save the expense of a bloody assault.
6 As in 5, but this time there are no speeders.
Instead, a Hilary snoozes, Angie pulls out a
pistol and holds it to your head and tells you to
fly to a new set of co-ordinates.....
Referee: Angie is a sleeper agent of Lucan's. She
will now deliver Hilary into the hands of a
"Economic Subversion Unit" of the Imperial
Treasury. They will extract from Hilary the
information they need to stage an economic coup
on the world. Meanwhile a local tri-D station has
received word that Hilary Ganton has been
kidnapped by criminals, and a MCr1 ransom is
being demanded. And as for an "ex" bodyguards
future....
