It was just three days after the boss's funeral when the consiglieri called Amalia into his office. "You know why you're here, right?" "Nope!" He couldn't help but crack a smile at her unceasing chipperness. "Oh, is it because I'm going to be up for election, or is - " "Stop. Stop. No." He let out a world-weary sigh. "Listen, no way you of all people would have the brains to run our thing. Let me get to the point before you bust a vocal cord chatting my ear off. We need to elect a new boss and the two main contenders got real polarized views on what to do with you." "Well I'm still good as an enforcer and all that and I know Emilio doesn't have beef with me but I don't think Jose really dislikes me enough to do anything and - " "Stop. You know the real reason why he hates your guts?" "I know he always says he hates the way I talk and that I'm hyper and - " "Stop! That didn't require an answer." The old man paused to massage both temples with a single hand. "It's because when Jose got drunk and killed your parents in that crash, the boss took you in and fixed you up so that you could be a constant reminder of his monumental screw-up. Not to discount the whole feeling sorry and responsible aspect, of course. The deal was going - " "I've forgiven him, though! I mean, I barely remember my parents anyways - " "Amalia, shut up for once! I'm trying to break some bad news to you!" She gave him a pouting frown and he held his hands up apologetically in response. "Listen, the deal was that you'd be useful enough to us to justify the cost of saving you. You have any idea how much all that hardware in you is worth?" "A lot?" "An understatement to be sure. Now don't get me wrong, you're definitely worth it, it's just that we're still in the red on you. I also need to get you out of sight and mind - and especially out of hearing range - before the election starts, because those two are already about ready to strangle each other over whether to off you or promote you. The last thing we need is an internal war, so here's what I've got." With little ceremony, he slid an itinerary across the table to her. Real paper. "I've arranged a lend-lease with one of the Jopok guys we've been working with." "A lend-what? Oh, the same guys at the meeting I was translating for? Am I going to be - ?" "Yes, the same guys at the trade meet. They pay us money, you stay on standby for any jobs they need you for." He leaned back in his chair as she read over the papers. "With their payment, we've broken even on you. You're free." "I see what you're getting at." Amalia sprang to her feet and glared daggers at the old man. "I'm not leaving the family! I've worked too drat hard and lost too many - " "You're leaving for your own drat good and for the good of the family! This is non-negotiable!" He turned his back to her in an attempt to conceal how upset he was. "We have you set up with an underboss named Song and a good doc in the area. Private jet leaves tomorrow. Say your good-byes. If you're good to come back, we'll call through Song. We might call, we might not, but don't call back once you're there." She stood and made for the door in complete silence. "First time I've ever heard you say nothing," the old man mumbled under his breath.

Ok I was talking with cis on irc about explosions, basically the new grenade/GL/rocket rules say that you can only really target spaces now, and if you get 3 hits then it goes wherever you want it to. If you miss, then it scatters. Net hits over 3 don't seem to do anything, and the only thing that determines damage is the range from the center of the explosion and the damage drop off rate. The rules are on page 181/182 if you want to take a look.

Mad Dog can totally drive and shoot since she has a gun arm. Also, this allows her to drive herself closer so she can hit things with her sword arm.
