The Caravan had set up in Khayr-ad Din's Trader's Way to maximize business. However, the Behemoth and the Longrunner that were devoted to gear transport and repair were set up next to the Guild Casino's Heavy Gear dueling pro-shop and garage.

The weather was clear and sunny, and in the early afternoon after the siesta, everyone was back at work in the vehicle bays.

"Ethan, I didn't expect to see you here," the pretty girl with freckles and curly blond hair called out.

"Hey Stacy, yeah," Ethan Dunn shrugged a little sheepishly, "it was either join the caravan or keep pushing pencils underground."

Stacy nodded, suspecting just what sort of bad memories Ethan had left in New Baja, "well, good! I don't think that the youngest Regulator should be sitting behind a desk!" Stacy Sliebovitz hugged Ethan warmly. The younger man blushed, and returned the embrace after a moment's hesitation.

"Well," Stacy was as warm as ever, "let's see. Hunter Recon...formerly an anti-Gear-missile capable model..." she looked over the datapad, "formerly Green Trading House property..." she scanned the display. Ethan scanned the pretty mechanic.

"Reinforce leg armour, increase engine output to compensate," Stacy was talking to herself, nodding abstenmindedly, "attach laser designator, upload software. Done!"

Ethan turned and looked at her, "can I see it?"

"Oh sure," Stacy smiled back saucily, "but it'll cost ya."

"Oh? What?"

"A spin on the dance floor!"

---------------

The Hunter Recon was the first Hunter variant to be produced, and has since been rendered obsolete with the production of more purpose-built reconnaissance Heavy Gears. The gear did enjoy a resurgence of sorts during the dark days of the War of the Alliance, when any and all gears were needed to stop the Earthers. This gear comes from the WFPA junkyards and was sold as scrap to the Green Trading House at the War's end.

This Hunter Recon has been assigned to Ethan Dunn, a particularly agile pilot who is serving as scout and forward observer for the Caravan, and specifically for it's guided weapons systems. Though the gear's fire control systems and weapons remain somewhat underarmoured, its legs have been reinforced beyond the ballistic cloth used on the original Hunter Recon.
