Dear BattleTechnology: I am writing this letter in response to your sidebar on page 15 of BattleTechnology, Issue 0102. Reading the article "The David Ambush," concerning the ordeal on Penobscot, I was greatly impressed by the strategy and tactics of Lieutenant David Fletcher (formerly of Varrick's Vandals, an impressive unit in my opinion). Destroying an AS7-D Atlas takes incredible skill, and Lt. Fletcher is to be congratulated. Although I cannot offer him a position as Lance Commander, there are many chances for career advancement in the Eridani Light Horse. In the 17th Recon Battalion, 71st White Horse Regiment, I have an opening in the 16th Recon Company. Records will show that MechWarrior Marie Emanuelle has fulfilled her contract as of June 17 of this year, leaving an open slot in the Recon Lance known as Altescu's Anarchists. If he accepts, Lt. Fletcher would hold the number three position in the lance, under Lieutenant Peter Altescu. Please inform MechWarrior Fletcher of this offer. Should he indicate interest, we will then discuss salary and benefits. Respectfully yours, Brevet General Nathan Armstrong High Command, Eridani Light Horse PS: You may inform Lieutenant Altescu himself of David Fletcher's decision. Interested in doing a follow-up interview, BattleTechnology attempted to track down Lieutenant Fletcher at his last-known address on Galatea. Unfortunately, the lieutenant could not be located and was rumored to have accepted a contract with a recruiting officer for another mercenary regiment. Though the identity of the regiment could not be confirmed, informants reported that Lt. Fletcher had been seen several times in the company of a striking, blond young woman named "Lori. " The description fits one Lt. Lori Kalmar, who has been known to visit Galatea from time to time while recruiting for the merc regiment known as the Gray Death Legion. Has Fletcher joined Grayson Carlyle's Gray Death? Since the beginning of the Fourth Successor War, the Legion has been rumored to be carrying out deep strikes into Kurita space from bases along the Lyran frontier. If so, Lt Fletcher will certainly have an opportunity to demonstrate his grasp of strategy and tactics in the near future!
