>>>>>[As more than eighteen hours have passed, I assume you have filled
the other position you had open. I would be interested in the
"baby-sitting" job, or any other employment opertunities you may have.

It may make it easier to decide which jobs I am suitable for if you know
my areas of experience: extractions (friendly & unfriendly), search &
destroy, smash & grab, bodyguarding, and general mayhem. I rarely do
wetwork anymore, but this can change, depending on the
circumstances.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Deepest apologies for not having contacted you earlier. This was
due to unforeseen circumstances. Yes the majority of the previous offers
have been filled.


The baby sitting job I have on offer at the moment involves the care and
protection of twelve metahuman children. Four ork, two troll, six
dwarven. They are being shipped across country to Boulder, Colorado. I
do not have any details of any opposition that may interfere, though the
employer is relatively confident that it will not be much more than road
gangs and scavengers.


The employment offers >>reasonable amount<< and will cover any expenses
you may incur. The transport will be an armoured RV, only one other
person is available to assist you in this and that is the mother of the
Ork children. She is well experienced in weapons use though, and can be
relied upon in a tight situation. The children have been targeted by an
anti metahuman organisation, and it has been deemed essential to remove
them from the threat while Police deal with the situation. Private
contract hire was considered as better than public hire - mainly I
believe because of the mother's own history on the streets.


I believe that, counting checks through the NAN the travel will take 3-4
days across some relatively inhospitable countryside. It has been
requested that the person who secures the contract is able to help
create the illusion that the trip is a camping adventure.


Interested?]<<<<<

>>>>>[I need the work. Just how old are these kids? I mean I can handle
children, but I didn't get mine till she was ten. I'm not going to be
dealing with toddlers or preschoolers am I?

Gangers & scavengers, eh? So I can leave the heavy artillery at home?
And which anti-meta group? Some of those fraggers play _really_ nasty.

Would the "employer" object to me bringing along some help of my own?
With all those kids, an extra body would be damn usefull. Plus it'll
let me bring my truck along. The "Beast" can be down-right handy, if
things go FUBAR.]<<<<<

>>>>>[No not pre-schoolers. Their ages vary between 9 and 13. They are
moderately responsible and sensible children I believe. I don't think
you'll need artillery, but, I have received reports that the nomads are
getting better arms from somewhere, so it would probably be best to err
on the side of caution. I have contacted the employer, and they have no
objection to you bringing assistance, provided you can vouch for their
veracity. To that end, they have offered >>+20%<< to the amount to
cover the costs of the extra personnel. I believe that your truck will
make a welcome addition to the small convoy, a single RV on it's own
might be a tempting target for the scavengers.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Okay, err on the side of caution. So, gernades, but the panther and
the barret can proabably stay home. As for the extra crew, she's
family, so I hope I can vouch for her.

Send me the address of where you got the kids stashed, and I'll pick 'em
up tonight. With luck, we should be at the drop-off point by noon
Thursday, if not earlier. And make sure you let the mother know that I
coming. I don't fancy getting shot by the people I'm supposed to be
protecting.]<<<<<

"family" is currently resident is 124, 240th Street, Apartment 334,
Montlake Terrace. They are expecting you. There will be four people
guarding the entrance and room. Please don't show any sign of
hostility, they are instructed to shoot first and ask questions later.
The passcode is >>phrase<<. They will recognise this and hand over
guardianship to you. Good luck.]<<<<<
