Vagabond

"Vagabond's a great ride. Konnor and me, and me son Leon, we been workin' on the old beast since we hooked up wit' Konnor in Lance Point. Since then, it's been tweakin' and tweakin' and upgradin'. When we hit Khayr-ad Din last cycle I was surprised as all heck that'n Konnor an' Gade made it into the tourney. Ok, mainly Gade. No offense 'er nothin'. But it's Vagabond who did better than we coulda' hoped. Managed the semis before getting nailed bad by that Jaguar...

Vagabond's no show pony. After the tourney, we put 'im back out into the caravan as quick as we could, and he's been pulling his weight and then some ever since. Konnor keeps the loadout pretty standard. Some extra grenades and cannon clips, but nothing fancy. He's a duelist. He don't need nothin' fancy."

-Hector Cardano, head mechanic for the Vagabond Dueling Team. Gear Up! Magazine, Summer TN1920.
--------------

The Sidewinder class of Heavy Gears is a reliable and solid model designed with the pilot's safety in mind. All that has been modified on this machine is that the secondary movement system's output has been tweaked to give a little extra speed on open terrain. Konnor carries a standard load, though he likes to keep an extra vibroblade handy. In a duel, Vagabond is particularly well-behaved and disciplined, a mechanical extension of its pilot. On caravan patrol duty, the gear tends to get restless, and Konnor spends extra time sparring with Gade and Peter Smit to keep his Neural Net sharp.
