Crossovers that Should Be: The Write Stuff

[ECSNorway]

Cranston Snord nodded along as he listened to the Lyran General go over the new contract. (What was the man's name, again?) Everything seemed to be alright so far, mostly the same as the one that this was to renew. Their compensation was being increased, which was a good thing. Some notes about new supply channels, which was also good.

"And then," the General continued, "There's the matter of your liaison officer. As you know, Kapitan Hogan has been transferred to a company command of his own in the Arcturan Lancers."

"He earned it," Cranston agreed. "Boy knows what he's doing."

"And we've made sure to find an equally competant replacement for you. She's due for a staff rotation, a couple of years with you should do nicely."

Cranston nodded again, watching for a moment as the General fiddled with papers, pulling out the new officer's record. "You'll like her," the General finally continued. "She's no stranger to combat... started as jump infantry, managed to capture a Phoenix Hawk off the Dracs, spent a year at Somerset learning to pilot... impressed the training cadre enough to take another year in the Advanced Tactical course, and then four years with the 15th Lyran Guards. I'm sure you'll get along just fine with her."

The General pushed the file folder across the desk, and Snord picked it up and flicked it open, looking the new officer's records over. "Definitely impressive, General..." That was the man's name. "... von Lergen. I'm sure Hauptmann Degurechaff will have quite the educational time with the Irregulars."
