Satisfied with how things went Harald calls over comms
"They only scratched my paintjob, I'm ready for the next camp." but a little frustrated about how things went Markus grumbles
"I'm fine as long as you guys double-tap the bastards." then after retrieving the Cannon from the fallen MAU Barqa calls out
"Ready" to which Irvine agrees
"Still good to roll here. What's our next move?" finally taking the initiative John shouts out
"Since nobody else has any ideas, A4."Just as you're leaving the camp, you the salvage team arrives along with both an engineering team to pick up Johann at which point Ivan opens up communications to you
"Comrades, seeing how Johanns reactor is not playing nicely, we're moving Joan over to team 2 with you guys." only then do you notice that Joan is with them, how could you have missed that?
Arriving at camp A4, you spot a group of reaver units, an MAU and a pair of NTs, the NTs are of a different model to the ones you've already faced, the
CA T-Dodo which is armed with a grenade launcher as well as tougher armour, the MAU is also a new model, a
IWM02 Axe-e which is similar to the previously faced club but is armed with built in gatling guns in place of arms, and the same class of back mounted missile pod.

Description: A veteran warrior with a temper, got sick of fighting for the companies and went rogue. Although he has a short fuse the man is still far more intelligent than he looks
Ability: Jet charge [+2 to the first attack made against an enemy with the lance]
Shrugging off the NT you step over and retieve the fallen MAUs cannon, after your computer comfirms recognition of the weapon and a brief load time where it interfaces with your FCS it's ready to use, so you join the others in moving up tothe next camp.

Mech: The LumberjackCaveCricket48> On to the next camp!Pilot Name: Markus "Mark" Tullen
Description: A light-skinned skinny 26 year-old man who used to work in an engineering bay. He doesn't say much, and is described as being "in the zone" when working.
Ability: Zen [+2 Accuracy, -2 Movement/Evasion] [2 Turn Duration, 3 Turn Cooldown [after end duration]]
Giving your armour status display a dissatisfied glare you decide you can probablly manage at least one more battle before repairs are truly needed.
Mech: SnipehawkArcalane ---- Pilot Name: Irvine Callahan
Description: A lanky, tanned American pilot who lost his right eye before joining the mercs. It doesn't seem to have negatively affected his piloting skills. Calm and confident.
Ability: Evasion Focus [Scaling/variable skill: Evasion Focus (3) = +3 evasion, -3 accuracy. Evasion Focus (5) = +5 evasion, -5 accuracy. Etc.]
Relatively pleased with how you did in that battle, you go along wih the others, getting yourself over to camp A4.
Mech: Bloodhound "Delta"Fail Flail ---- Pilot Name: Joan
Description: A younger female pilot, hesitant to talk of her past. With her short stature, tousled blonde hair and bright blue eyes, most say she'd be quite becoming if it weren't for the series of neural plugs, cabling and scars that cover her body. While she tends to be rather quiet and listless while outside of her mech, once hooked up her personality flips, becoming headstrong and confident.
Ability: On a roll [Every roll, upon a 20 or 19 gains a +1 for the duration of the mission, however: Every roll, upon a 1 or 2 gains a -1 modifier for the duration of the mission. Can stack.]
After your journey with the salvage team, you meet up with team 2, you've not worked with them much, but from what you've seen they're a rather well rounded team.
