Event Roll 8 - Debts force your family to join forces with an underworld group [Contact, Bad Reputation, In for Life]

Interesting.  Well, he is a bastard.  Sure, why not.  Moving on.  Needs to find a way back to some respectability, so let's do Paramilitary Service next and pay off a bit of the debt to society.

Event Roll: 9 - Training standout; recommended to the academy by your CO [Promotion; may take remaining military training (if any) in the Military Academy Path]

Nice. With his criminal connections though, a 10 fits better, so -1 EDG Thresh to get a 10.

Event Roll: 10 - Become supplier of "special" items for the base [Wealth (2), Well-Equipped, Appraisal +1]

Deciding to stay on the ground for a while, selects infantry rather than marines.

[Hat]

Ok, we'll try it one more time and see if I can avoid the trifecta.

Clearly the forum dice roller hates me.

Event Roll: 8 - "There's a Snake-lover in Alpha Company who needs to be taught a lesson... " The Order of Cincinatus draws you in. [Quirk/Xenophobia, In For Life, Well-Connected (2)/LAAF]

Note: LTSG Xiao's departure takes the Berserker, the spare 100T axe and the 280 XL (70T Engine)

The engine was from Well-Equipped and as it had been part of that character and wasn't used, it seemed only fitting that the PC took it with him when he left.  Likewise, there's not a general need for an axe for a 100T mech and so took that with him as well.
