Red.....the colour of the Inquisition.......not the most subtle colour to dodge bullets in.
Meet “Da Loights - Planetary Auditors”
Maybe not the combat team you’d expect to be engaged with the scum and villainy of the universe, but when Planetary Overlords feel they’ve been stiffed by their ungrateful underlings, avoiding their taxes and tithes, then these are the fellows they call in to investigate.
From left to right “Ferret”, “Countdown”, “PG”, “Tiny” and “Numbers”
And from behind, nice tight glutes.
“Ferret” - so called because nothing misses his steely gaze, he can spot financial irregularities at 100 metricals.........and besides, he looks like one. He is first aid trained.
“Countdown” - when the team are in downtime, there is nothing they like to do better than watch antique vid plates of Old Earth quiz shows. The boys all agree she is hotter than Vorderman or Riley! Locker room scuttlebutt has it her father was an Android - she has a brain with the computing power of a small battle cruiser!
“PG” - the boss, so called as he is never seen without a cuppa in his hand (of course, he’s a lead miniature, he will ALWAYS have a cuppa in his hand! No nonsense type, his word is final.....he’s seen it all, done it all, carries the scars and is paying alimony to at least four ex wives, including a two headed Mlduvian beauty he left when he realised he had to deal with twice the angst!
”Tiny” - Most believe that he’s named ironically being a tall brute of a man....fact is, the others have seen him in the shower......he really needs to stop pumping the steroids! Still, great guy to have in a fist fight.....he’s as tough as old grunthar scrotum!
“Numbers” - Quietly spoken, this guy is a killer. Many a tax dodger has pulled a gun on him, only for him to have drawn with lightning reflex and fired with unerring
accuracy, planting las shots squarely between their eyes / antennae / feelers ....
The name refers to the number of kills he is amassing, each entered meticulously into his data slate. One day, he intends to publish his autobiography, detailing his life as an accountant and he wants to be able to recount every altercation. When The boss is topside or attending another divorce settlement hearing, this chap steps up, effectively no 2.
There is no long range capability within the group, they are however all handy with their snub nosed las pistols. Don’t underestimate them.
Peter, I may need you to re work their skill set accordingly.....ta fella.
