>>>>>[I wouldn't quite say "anything" on the vehicles. But I can
get
one, possibly two, mercenary helicopters. Stallions, armed and armoured,
good countermeasures suites: not frontline milspec, but good enough for
what we want. T-birds, fast jets, stuff like that, nix. (Though Sasha is
considering picking up some fighters... but then we need 3,000 feet of
runway, hard to arrange inside the Zone).
Can you guarantee a decent replacement value for the airframe? We're
talking the best part of half a million here, even allowing for the age
of the aircraft. She's insured for sabotage/accidental loss, but you're
going to have to persuade Mutual Direct of Atlanta that their policy
covers it, or else explain to Colonel Rusanov what happened to his helo.
Gets a lot cheaper if we have time to salvage the electronics - maybe
fifty grand if we pull the weapons and the avionics racks. Needs ten
minutes, a few crescent wrenches, and enough strong backs to carry a
hundred kilos of miniguns and electronics. For that, we could negotiate
splitting the cost, since apparently 612's got fatigue problems anyway
and is near the end of her life. Sasha could write that off safely
against taxes :)
Now, so I know. You guys are Serenity, right? Not to be dense, just to
be sure I know who I'm dealing with.]<<<<<
