Captain Schoenbijter of Fourth Company presented an unusual candidate. The Cavalry Company’s normal method of fighting wasn’t available or practical for the underground, but they made do with finding speed of operation and sudden unexpected impact in other ways. Kris Katze wasn’t one of his combat commanders, but rather, a driver and convoy lead that he had surreptitiously injected into the Logistics section before plucking her back out and putting her in the field. No bruiser and certainly not a picture of strength or physical prowess, she was nevertheless wily and creative. The basis for Schoenbijter’s recommendation, on top of a natural sense of curiosity and inquisitiveness meaning she had a good grasp of multiple languages, including the Subterranean one now.
Fifth Company had pushed for their own to morph Sixth Company into another branch of Crimson Shirts, even if such uniforms were no longer so available as they once were. Though Dulechamp’s choice for commanding officer was not one of the elite clique of Monte Nocca savants like most of Fifth was, but rather, a fellow Emrean adventurer from back in the day. A doughty member of the school of the assault, Victor Beaumont would instill an aggressive mindset in his troops for sure- for better or worse.
Finally, there was the person who would naturally win an election by the company if the option was given to them. No captain yet, but the leader of a band of brigand-mercenaries numbering a few dozen (who would form the senior staff most likely), from near Gusseisenholz that Schweinmann had sent along, Irminhilde Brecher was a beauteous young lady who commanded loyalty through obvious methods. You’d specifically requested Schweinmann, in shuffling over those ideologically pure enough to maintain unity, not send over any psychopaths or irreparable souls that did not belong anywhere but the wastes, but yours and his idea of where the line was crossed must have been…different. Bright, but untested, gregarious but clearly the sort of woman wiser to how to manipulate than why she shouldn’t, her potential was as unknown a quantity as her morality, and that would matter all the more in a position of command.
