Background
Narrative Hook [dice]0[/dice]
Juicer Uprising

There’s a saying in the merc business, “The size of the combat bonus is inversely proportional to the likelihood of surviving to collect it.” Of course, that never stops a good merc from trying.

You know the story of the Juicer Uprisings, word on the street was someone found a cure for the juice. Twerky, trigger happy juicers, the Coalition, and those who worked for them were gathered around Newton trying to get a piece of it.. Not as many people remember the battle at Fort El Dorado. You would if you were there. Something like 2,000 juicer running rampant through the city, set the whole place on fire, knocked down the walls, and over ran an entire CS company. Total clusterfrak.

Me and my team were in town for some downtime when all hell broke loose. We got a call from a Northern Gun fixer. Turns out old NG was real worried about their facilities and employees inside Fort El Dorado. We were on of the only merc groups they could reach. The law of supply and demand meant they offered us a big time payday. All we had to do was protect their people from an army of rampaging juicers. No problem.

To even the odds (and sweeten the pot) we took whatever we needed from the NG store and hunkered down for the night. We beat back looters, black market raiders, corrupt city cops, and a lot of desperate juicers that night. By the time order was restored there was a ring of bodies piled up outside but we got our pay day and the gratitude of a few big wigs at NG. That gratitude got us a couple more lucrative jobs with NG, I probably could have milked that for a while and got out of the business but seeing the Uprising changed me a little too. Started thinking maybe it was time to stop working for the highest bidder and start working to make the world better.
