A Call From An Old Comrade (Season 1, Episode 0.1)

Lextrin Qualit

---

I've been trying to get off this arid, steaming, corrupt hornet's nest of humanity for my entire life. I swore I'd get off of this dirtball no matter what it takes.

When Kuron commed me about a high-value recovery for an unnamed client, she said that the work could go off-planet. She said we should meet at Hyrdodome 17 at break hour.

If Kuron was sending this my way, it's something outside of military or police channels and it needs my skill set. The other important fact is the money's running short and I like to eat and manage my medical bills. Kuron was being cagey, but she won't leave me out to dry or send me into an ambush.

Notes

The Contacts' Target Value is used when Lextrin want to get in contact with that sort of contact as needed. The lower the value, the more able to succeed in finding a contact or a particular contact; The value will likely vary as things happen.

Lextrin was taken out from all 3 of his careers with injuries. The first was a shattered leg (reinforcement in the left leg, limps), the second was a projectile wound in the right shoulder (scarred, -1 to mobility that requires that shoulder), and the third was a vehicle incident while trying to protect the Consulate (concussion, healed).

Lextrin tried to get off Prismata by appying for the Star Navy, but he was not excepted. He drafted into the Prismatan Marines. He was comissioned as a 2nd Lieutant then promoted to 1st Lieutenant. His second led to a promotion to Captain early (a fast riser) but he got discovered some shady dealings by some higher ups and he investigated. That put him in the middle of a firefight and had his leg smashed. It was never clear if that was a trap and his dismissal may have been orchestrated by the dirty senior officers.

When Lextrin got out, he was in a bad head space and money got short and he hooked up with a crew that took scores from the criminal underworld, mostly carefully and quickly. He rose to being the planner for the crew. In his second term, a score went bad and he tried to pull a few of the trapped crew members and he took a serious wound and the crew scattered. He never had a criminal record. He got cleared up with some help from old military friends.

He got a job in the Prismastan Consulate as a Consular Security Officer, but his competence took him to Assistant Consul. Happening on to several terrorists trying to infiltrate the Consulate and he took them on with makeshift weapons. In the fight, which included firearms and a bomb, he was concussed. He was thanked for saving the Consul and most of the Consular staff, but there were those who may again have put their hand in his fate as he was given a honourable discharge from the Consulate. The excuse was that he did not attempt diplomacy with the intruders and he gained and used several weapons inside the Consulate (not that he had a choice).
