Citing her feelings about working as a Temp for BFC, I simply put it to her

Why not do another 4 year contract as a SCU, you were already in there, you know the company, the moneys good.

"You're either one and done with Black Faction or you're in there for good"

When asked to explain further

"the whole lifestyle just becomes the norm, its almost scary to break away from it. You're institutionalised, mindless and literally trapped"

"You can break away easier after 4 years with enough experience to move around to other companies, work in temp or contract out"

Then why would you join V-Corp? for another 4 years? Isn't it all the same?

"No im on 18 months here and so are most of the ex BFC girls here"

How many ex BFC are here now?

"I have met over 20 so far, mostly young like me with only 1 contract, a couple with two contracts but that's it really"

So what are you all expecting to get out of this stint with V-Corp? The word back in Santag is they're losing Combatants at a higher rate than Black Faction ever did.

"I can't speak for the others, but I want the money, I want the trigger time and I want to take Black Faction units out"

"Yeh we were told its high, but its Starcorp junk getting used to absorb rounds"

Why do you want to take out Black Faction so much, when you were once a Black Faction Combat unit yourself?

"I don't know how to explain it really, yes I was a Black Faction SCU, but that was then. I just want to see it go away. I think their evil. They're the bad guys, was I a bad guy? Yes I was! Did I do fucked up things for them? Yes I did! Do I regret it? Not really. I'm not on some mission to make amends or have redemption. I'm here to make money, I just worked for them. The combat units Ill fight are just working for them, I have no hatred or anything towards them. Its just eliminating their fighters to wear down their machine and get closer to the Mistress.

Just as we finished she had to run off, there was a change announced over the intercom system to her Op Sub Group.

She said she would come back afterwards, but in the meantime I will find another one to for more questions.
