Ah, Good Day Gentlemen, What shall be the point of discussion today?

I made a hefty profit off the stock market today, or so I'm told. Something about my investments in Long Range Missiles or some such. Well, suffice to say, I'll be able to stockpile some more of that limited edition engraved gold armor plates. They look quite stunning on the battlefield!

Speaking of that, have you heard the plebs crying out recently? Something about an advancement in the some sort of firing system in the Arenas. About it being too accurate, trajectory, or some sort of plebeian drivel. I've not noticed any change. Whenever the missiles start coming towards my Gold Plated Engraved Atlas, my servants in their poor mech jenners fly right up in front of them. I swear, some of these plebs have no common sense.

*Looks back* Ah, Reginald, bring me a bottle of 50 year scotch, single malt, preferably a smokey variety; make it neat.

Gentlemen... A toast.

To our "new" Artemis systems! I thought the pull from LRMs and Streaks was good, but THIS... well, let's just say that every time someone shoots an Artemis LRM-20, my accountants feel a little warmer inside.

I mean, we've been sittng on these things since, what, Build 78? We'll have to dust them off before shucking them out, though. I don't want any of that dust in my showrooms.

The musicality is substandard, but I do declare that we could all appreciate the sentiment expressed.

My word good man, a Dead Kennedys reference, here? Well I say.

Never mind the Atlai and the MC I had 98 CBills to my name. Poor investment choices I know.

Artemis I tell you.

Things have since been looking up a few rounds of stomping and I am right as rain.

I say, Adrian, old friend, can you believe these prats could have a tea party and not invite us? Preposterous! Everyone knows that we have the grandest mech bays in town, and even if I would rather have keyhole surgery on my privates than share them with the rest of you, I certainly do not mind flaunting them. I would have been delighted in taking a pause from riff-raff slaughtering to join you fine gentlemen in a tea sipping contest.

Say, would any of you fine chaps like a job as our Mech Hygiene Technician? We are accepting applications. We already have Jarvis and James to take care of the greasing, but they can always use an extra hand. Takers, gentlemen?

You're preaching to the choir sir. Cads, the lot of them!

You there with the nametag... take my cane. Have some manners and take off that silly hat too.

Jeffrey! Ask that gentleman in the corner for one of the papers, and have the waiter pour the brothers some cups.

Prosperity sir,

Lovely sparring with you tonight if you can call it that.

Seeing as your team won and our mechs cored have a drink on me.

:ph34r:

You Steel brothers should join the FWLM Teamspeak from time to time.

Do recall a few sparring matches with you back in closed beta, always enjoyed them. :lol:

Indeed! I'm in the process of setting up a communications array, as mine got bent out of shape. We'll be on the FWLM comm channels in short order. Though I dare say the word "militia" in FWLM has me concerned.......what with it implying the presence of the unwashed.
