You stand there blinking like a stunned lox chewing on the Lieutenant’s words while the Kriegers around you brace for the mad dash across the ash wastes in the coming minute.
The LT unfurls his arms and gives you a nod with all the gravitas of a full-blown salute. <span class="mu-i">“Make it back alive, Sergeant. That’s an order.”</span>
You blink again, which hasn’t helped yet. Is your superior officer… just now trying to motivate you to not get yourself killed on the suicide mission he definitely knows nothing about?
================================
Sergeant ‘Snake Eyes’ Natalya has consistently proven indispensable to the Lieutenant, as well as demonstrated her loyalty with some dark deeds and career covering to boot. If you make it out of the Dis Campaign alive, he’s very likely to put in a good word for you…
> “Like you said, LT. Krieger Corps to the core for me. Ooh-ah.” Command of your very own Krieger Platoon on the Company’s flagship, perhaps a division one day. Storming cities from the skies, boarding capital ships, seizing strongholds and command posts in one bloody orbital assault. The officer epaulettes will be nice, but a leading role in the biggest battles of the Black Company will be even nicer. [Krieger Officer Ambition]
> “A ship in the Grey Fleet? A ship…” Master-At-Arms of the modest Krieger complement managing security on the semi-independent Grey Fleet comes with a pay cut due to the lack of regular danger, but also entitles one to an invaluable share in the ship’s holding space between stops divided according to rank. It’s the first major step on the way to XO, and then… maybe a ship of your very own one day. [Ship Captain Ambition]
>“It’d be nice to see some of the ‘verse that wasn’t a battlefield or a harbour on shore leave…” It can be lonely work, the life of a Pathfinder, though many operate in teams or with a network of assets and associates. Mant are closer to spies rather than scouts, but not you. You’re going to go well of the beaten path, with perhaps one or two trusted sidekicks, and see alien worlds and ruins in parts of the galaxy that most have never heard of, let alone been to. [Galactic Adventure Ambition]
> “I’m just here to retire and expire ETs, sir. Send me where the little green men are at.” You were born to be a Krieger Sergeant, at the tip of the spear in the heart of the battleline is where you belong. Maybe one day, if your taste for rolling the dice with your vital readings loses its lustre, you might reconsider. But for now, you’ll be happy with a juicy bonus payout and your pick of next assignment in proving that you’re the meanest most unkillable bitch in the ‘verse. [Krieger NCO Ambition]
