Offered the opportunity to run Victoria Waters' Vintage car restoration and repair shop, Glen turned in his gun and left with his tool box. He will probably best be remembered for the pummeling he gave Dr. Bernie Gloveless at last year's A.I.M. Christmas party. - + - 4 + 0 Smoke Smoke Peterson Throughout his many years of shaky service with A.I.M., Smoke Peterson was repeatedly cited for short-fusing explosives - a juvenile attempt at cheap laughs. To the delight of a number of members, the final laugh was on him. Distracted by an elusive pebble in his combat boot, Peterson bid this world goodbye with a loud bang, a puff of smoke, and one far-reaching unidentifiable mess. - - - 5 - Jimmy - Jimmy Upton - Unfortunately, some old habits never die. Jimmy Upton was discovered in a bank in south-west Detroit after business hours. Despite his vehement denials and supposed lack of knowledge regarding the burglary tools found in his possession, Upton was sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary. After completing that sentence, Jimmy is scheduled to be returned to Ohio to serve the seven remaining years on a previous burglary conviction. - - 6 + 1 Doc Doc Koolhan Doc Koolhan resigned from A.I.M. to focus his energies on his medical practice. He had been running a free clinic as a sideline in Tripoli for years. However, six months after working there full-time, he closed up his office and joined Doctors Without Frontiers. At present, he is believed to be serving with the organization in Tunisia. - 7 + 2 Wink Wink Dickerson Known primarily for his strong throwing arm, yet poor accuracy, Wink Dinkerson finally received the call he had been waiting for all of his life. Severe budget cuts left the Montreal Expos searching for pitching talent, or the lack of it, just about anywhere. After accepting a contract for 140 Canadian dollars a week, Wink has earned a position as the fifth pitcher in the starting rotation of their farm club. - - - 8 - Beth - Mary Beth Wilkens - It is one of the most tragic turn of events we have ever had to report. Mary Beth died last August on the steps of her apartment building at the hands of a lone gunman. After enduring months of harassment, which developed into stalking, she was surprised by a crazed mercenary groupie, as she walked up to her doorway with her arms full of groceries. Mary Beth's determination and positive attitude will remain an inspiration to us all. - - - - 9 - Bud - Lt. Bud Hellar - Lieutenant Bud Hellar has held a series of jobs since leaving A.I.M., from working as Rush Limbaugh's personal bodyguard to parking cars at the pentagon. His departure from the organization was amicable, and he shall be remembered for his steadfast dedication and loyalty. Recent reports have him working as a security consultant for the tobacco lobby. While entirely within character, this information has not been verified. - - 10 + 3 Larry Larry Roachburn After eight attempts at rehab without any sustained success, A.I.M. was left with little choice but to terminate Larry Roachburn's membership within the organization. From what we understand, the death of Larry's father persuaded him to make yet another attempt at ridding himself of his demons and cleansing his body from decades of toxicity. The organization wishes him the best of luck in all his future endeavors. - 11 + 4 Ears Edward "Ears" Stockwell Ears Stockwell handed in his resignation almost eighteen months ago. Since that time, we have heard nothing from him and therefore have no news to report. Though, to be honest, we haven't exactly gone out of our way to make contact with him either. - 12 + 5 Moses Murray "Moses" Ebstern Opting to take part in A.I.M.'s early retirement package offered to all mercenaries over fifty, Moses decided it was time to move on and into a new line of work. Investing his severance, Ebstern opened a restaurant on the main. After just two short years in business, Murray's has established a reputation for serving the best smoked meat in New Delhi. - - - 13 - Screw - Patrick "Screw" Phillips - It is with regret that A.I.M. acknowledges the departure of Patrick Phillips from its ranks. Due to many unresolved issues, mostly relating to Screw's deviation from acceptable social norms, Patrick felt it best to continue his career as an independent. As of last word, he was working freelance for some of the newer countries in Eastern Europe. - - - - 14 - Rusty - Russell "Rusty" Hunter - Known for years as one A.I.M.'s top explosive experts, Rusty acquired a stellar reputation for his range of knowledge and, well... being the sanest of the lot. Russell Hunter recently took an extended leave of absence to work as a special effects consultant for a major motion picture studio. Fortunately for A.I.M., the past year has seen a wealth of new talent emerge in the explosives field. - - 15 + 6 Bernie Doctor Bernie Gloveless Bernie's history with A.I.M. can probably be, at best, described as checkered. After refusing to give up his position as the organization's physician and considering the abundance of complaints from fellow members, A.I.M. felt obliged to give Dr. Bernie Gloveless a dishonorable discharge. He's currently employed with an international insurance company, so you might want to remember his name the next time your company sends you for your annual physical. - - - 16 - Reuban - "Unusually Ruthless" Reuban - After years of eluding capture, Reuban was finally arrested and deported to Romania. He is currently serving six concurrent life sentences for the massacre of his wife and family. Although Reuban will never be able to enjoy life as a free man, he seems to be adjusting well to his new found surroundings. His prison duties include landscaping the grounds and some of his shrub sculptures have won the penitentiary numerous "Good Prisonkeeping" awards. - - 17 + 7 Pops Pops McGillicutty After years of trying to convince Pops McGillicutty to retire, A.I.M. was finally forced to institute a mandatory retirement policy for those reaching the age of 85. Wanting to do his part to eliminate river burials, Pops opened a web-based Funeral Salon specializing in the respectful interment of mercenaries. - - - 18 - Kelly - Col. Leo Kelly - Often referred to as the mercenary's mercenary, Col. Leo Kelly dropped out of sight shortly after the war in Croatia hit the fan. Some of our members do claim to have seen him leading a commando unit through the jungles of Napir though, and he did receive on-screen credit for technical combat consultation in Steven Segal's latest flick. However, no official news of his whereabouts have reached our offices. - - 19 + 8 Tex Tex R. Colburn One of our more colorful warriors, Tex Colburn, handed in his six-shooters to fulfill his dream of starring on the big screen. As a rising star in Japanese westerns, he played the lead in "Much Dust, Many Bullets," and has received glowing reviews for his roles in the classic films "Attack of the Clydesdales" and "Have Honda, will Travel." - 20 + 9 Hurl Hurl E. Cutter Hurl, a profitable patient for doctors everywhere, has been missing for the past nine months. A careful search of hospital records and unidentified bodies in the Havana area, his last known whereabouts, has failed to provide any insight. Fidel Dahan has been repeatedly questioned concerning his disappearance, yet police are no further ahead in their investigation. - 21 + 10 Biff Biff Apscott Biff Apscott was a truly unique man among mercenary men. He will be greatly missed for his youthful enthusiasm and the way he reminded everyone of just how brave they were. Although somewhat hard to believe, we have been made aware that he has opened up his own mercenary organization in a somewhat pitiful attempt to compete with A.I.M. It's probably not necessary to elaborate on just how worried we are. - - - 22 - Spike - Major Spike Scallion - The departure of Spike Scallion from A.I.M. was a major loss to the organization. His demeanor and unwavering command of any situation always served as a comfort to those who found themselves neck deep in it alongside him. Major Scallion was offered a lucrative long-term contract serving as a military consultant for the North Koreans and no amount of negotiation could convince him to stay. - - 23 + 11 Raffi Dr. Raffitto "Raffi" Leevon Doctor Leevon, whose medical degree was always the subject of much debate, left this organization at the beginning of the year without notification. Apparently, he has changed his name and embarked on a new career. Doctor Raffiman, and his Cajun-funk band, Rotis & Haggis, have captured the imagination of the music world with the distinctive sound of their synthesized spoons and their current hit, Bajun Bayous. - 24 + 12 Mike Mike While undergoing negotiations for yet another pay increase, Mike suddenly withdrew from the discussions when he was informed that many employers had already complained about his exaggerated rates. His current whereabouts are unknown, just like pretty much everything else about him. The last correspondence received by this office, postmarked in a small country whose name escapes us, contained threats we'd rather not recall. - 25 + 13 Hector Hector Alvarez Seriously wounded in Zaire, Hector Alvarez was placed on permanent medical disability. Using his insurance money, he opened an oceanside bed and breakfast in his hometown of Margarita, Venezuela. With prices starting at $49.99 U.S. per day, his 'Cool Hand Luke - All the Eggs you can Consume' breakfasts have become a huge hit with the German tourists. - - - 26 - Snake - Johnny "Snake" Edwards - Old Mister Reliable is what they called him. Getting in and out without anyone knowing he was there was what he did best. Regrettably, all that is written on his tombstone in Maupaa is "Casualty of War." Snake died a victim of unnecessary diplomacy in an event which lead to the court martial of Alan "Spam" Webster. While Webster negotiated the peaceful surrender of their weapons with a group of natives, Snake took a bullet from one of them, right between the eyes. - - 27 + 14 Speck Speck T. Kline While Speck never quite fit in with the mercenary lifestyle, his knack for repairing what was widely believed to be unrepairable made him one of our most sought-after members. That is, perhaps, why his decision to open a competing mercenary agency came as such a surprise to this organization. A.I.M. wishes him the best of luck, as we are all well aware, he will need it. - 28 + 15 Weasel Willy "Weasel" Augustin Wee Willy, otherwise known as Weasel and Mouthpiece, was primarily engaged by his employers as an inexpensive set of ears to keep tabs on his teammates. And, in a sick sense of justice, Augustin finally received what many felt he had coming. After blowing the whistle on his wife for welfare fraud, she returned to the family home after making bail and blew him away. - - - 29 - Leech - Timothy "Leech" Jenkins - It wasn't easy getting rid of Leech. His stubborn streak and outright disobedience left us no alternative but to place him on probation. After five such probationary periods, he was asked to tender his resignation, and naturally, he refused. Once terminated, Leech filed a wrongful dismissal suit, which we recently settled out of for an undisclosed amount of money. To this day, he continues to flood this office with employment applications. - - 30 + 16 Lance Lance Fisher Due to persistent personality clashes with Victoria Waters, Lance was asked to resign from A.I.M. in exchange for a posting at Westpoint Military Academy. He accepted, and is currently an instructor of ethics and tactical withdrawal, a subject which he recently published a book on. "Beating a Path to Safety without Screaming," is available at most military college bookstores. - 31 + 17 Stella Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel Margaret was the first female to join the ranks of A.I.M., and will be fondly missed. Besides her hard-fought battles on the combat field, Dr. Trammel will also be remembered for her uphill struggle with the A.I.M. Fraternal Benefits Association to gain spousal benefits for same sex partners. She recently opened a small family practice in the Virgin Islands. - 32 + 18 Eli Doctor Eli Summers Doctor Summers was by all accounts a gamer who made himself popular with employers by accepting assignments with newcomers and going about his business in a non-intrusive manner. Although A.I.M. regrets his decision to leave the organization, we are rather pleased to report that the good doctor has turned his favorite hobby into a profession. Currently playing on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour, Eli finished a respectable fourth in the Depends Open at Pebble Beach. - 33 + 19 Elroy Elroy B. Tolken He's gone. We didn't ask. We don't care. Does anybody? - 34 + 20 Skitz Bruce "Skitz" Bonner Bruce Bonner is gone - way gone! The addition of qualified explosive experts to our roster made a long-overdue decision much easier to make. After a record setting eight probationary periods, Skitz was finally expelled from the organization. Despite intensive therapy and twenty-one electroshock treatments, Skitz remains confined in Saint Michael's Hospital for the Criminally Insane. - 35 + 21 Wally Walter "Wally" Yuntz Someone once said that if Wally didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all. After learning that he did indeed have problems with his vision, Wally was scheduled for corrective surgery. The operation should have put his poor marksmanship behind him forever but the laser Yuntz was placed under experienced a programming error. Now totally blind, he and his lead Chippy, serve as Dr. Eli Summers' caddies on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour. - 36 + 22 Turtle Herman "Turtle" Regents Perhaps, Turtle's departure is best explained by an excerpt from his letter of resignation: "The pace of combat has become too much for me. I have been forced to run the beat rather than walk it. I have exhausted all avenues and find myself short of alternatives, other than to cough up my resignation effective immediately." Last we heard, Herman was working in Chicago as a probation officer. - - - 37 - Kaboom - Marty "Kaboom" Moffat - In one of the most peculiar cases of litigation to ever be launched against this organization, the estate of Marty Moffat has filed a wrongful death action. Kaboom, allegedly brain dead due to injuries sustained while defusing an explosive device, had his organs harvested as per his legally signed donor card. His family contends, however, that Marty was not dead at the time and was simply experiencing a slow morning. Our legal department has advised us not to elaborate any further. - - 38 + 23 Rev Reverend Clyde Potter Due to numerous complaints from the organization's atheist members, the combat chaplain position was eliminated from A.I.M., and the preachy Potter, as one of our least utilized members, was eliminated as well. After leaving A.I.M., Reverend Clyde Potter took a position with the Innercity Church of Christ in Baltimore. He currently denies ever having been associated with A.I.M. He returns his pension checks and refuses to take our calls. - - - 39 - Sparky - Megan "Sparky" Roachburn - Once the great family of warfare, the Roachburn legacy came to an end with the resignation of Megan. The only female family member and the last to leave A.I.M., Sparky moved on to the job she always wanted, an honesty shopper for K-Mart. Although she says the job of leaving exact change on the counter to see if the cashier rings in the sale can get a little boring, she'll take working at the mall over the battlefield any day. - - 40 + 24 Mitch Dr. Mitch Shudlem Never truly comfortable with the blood and gore of combat, Doctor Shudlem, after a great deal of soul searching, returned to the blood and gore of the delivery room. He is currently employed as the chief of the pre-natal care unit of Saint Mary's Hospital for Unwed Mothers. He says returning to his obstetric roots is the best thing that ever happened to him, and he wonders why he ever left in the first place. - 41 + 25 Carp Howard "Carp" Melfield Unable to excel in any given specialty, yet well-liked within the organization, Carp was offered a desk assignment with A.I.M. Effective immediately, Howard Melfield will be responsible for members' Health and Safety, Retirement, and Dental Plans. He has also graciously agreed to chair the office Christmas Party Committee. - 42 + 26 It Carl "It" Goodman Hired mainly for his brute force, Carl excelled with a crowbar and pleased employers for years with his simple, non-threatening attitude. After leaving A.I.M., Goodman returned to the world of professional wrestling where he claims every move is for keeps and the risk is real. Friends and fans alike can catch him as the Masked Mercenary most Saturday nights on Pay-Per-View's Wrestling Extravaganza. - - - 43 - Vinny - Vincenzo "Vinny" Massimo - While Vinny's years of service with A.I.M. have been impeccable and without so much as the slightest blemish in his personnel file, his personal life has been an entirely different matter. This wise-cracking wiseguy has been suspended from A.I.M. since his federal indictment for racketeering and tax evasion. With numerous counts against him, including rigging slot machines, injecting race horses with Demerol and supplying prostitutes to an Olympic water polo team, we don't expect him to return. - - - - 44 - Bob - Captain Bob Adams - Despite making ground as a combat soldier, decorated Air Force Pilot Bob Adams never quite shook his passion for flying. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Captain Adams retired from the organization, almost a year ago, to take a position with a major American airline. Tragically, while flying on a regional, short-hopper route, wind shear caused him to lose control of his aircraft. He crashed and died just outside of Phoenix this past July. - - 45 + 27 Hamous Hamous Hamous had his first taste of combat in Metavira, and based on a glowing recommendation from a major client, Jack Richards, he was granted an internship with this organization, which recently expired. Regrettably, poor Hamous never did manage to save up enough money to purchase that mini-van he desperately wanted. So he did the next best thing and stole one just outside of Paris. Actually, it was an ice cream truck and he was last seen headed towards Istanbul in it. - 46 + 28 Mouse Anita "Mouse" Backman Anita's stint with the organization was short and rather quiet. Known for her uncanny ability to move about unnoticed, and not much else, Mouse handed in her resignation at the same time as Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel. It is our understanding that they moved to the Virgin Islands together where Backman serves as nurse/receptionist at Trammel's newly opened medical clinic. - - - 47 - Postie - Jack "Postie" Durham - Postie has the distinction of being one of the few mercenaries A.I.M. regrets ever accepting into its membership. With that said, the union's grievance against the postal service finally made it to arbitration, and Postie has been returned to active duty with full back pay. He has been assigned to the customer service department, which has reported a dramatic drop in the number of complaints filed since he came onboard. - - - - 48 - Leon - Col. Leon Roachburn - Col. Leon Roachburn, a man who would have never made father of the year, was a responsible soldier and mentor to many. He passed away this past Christmas eve when his house trailer was engulfed by flames in a sudden grease fire. Remarkably, he left an estate valued at over a million dollars. Not so remarkably, his children were bequeathed nothing. Instead, Pamela Sue Anderson was named the sole beneficiary. - - 49 + 29 Dyno Roger "Dyno" Wittman Roger tried. Boy did he try. But he just seemed to lack the necessary edge. Understandably, some of the guys liked having him along for the laughs while others enjoyed cleaning their rifles with him. But ultimately, he realized he just wasn't cut out for the profession. Last we heard, Dyno was serving as the understudy to the Green Hippo in Animals on Ice. - - - 50 - Spam - Alan "Spam" Webster - Alan Webster's time within the organization was short and hardly memorable. His years of peacekeeping duty seemed to have hampered his aggression and in turn, jeopardized the safety of his squad. Following the incident in Maupaa which lead to the death of Johnny "Snake" Edwards, A.I.M. could no longer ignore his inability to take armed men seriously. Spam was court-martialed and received a dishonorable discharge in March 1998. - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/gamedir-languages/Dutch_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Dutch.OldAIMArchive.xml b/gamedir-languages/Dutch_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Dutch.OldAIMArchive.xml index 803bdd3d4..630ab62d1 100644 --- a/gamedir-languages/Dutch_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Dutch.OldAIMArchive.xml +++ b/gamedir-languages/Dutch_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Dutch.OldAIMArchive.xml @@ -1,359 +1,213 @@  - - - 0 - Needle - Doctor Mark Kranhuim - After over a decade of valiant service, Needle failed his annual physical and was forced into early retirement.

His current whereabouts are unknown, just like pretty much everything else about him. The last correspondence received by this office, postmarked in a small country whose name escapes us, contained threats we'd rather not recall. - 25 + 13 Hector Hector Alvarez Seriously wounded in Zaire, Hector Alvarez was placed on permanent medical disability. Using his insurance money, he opened an oceanside bed and breakfast in his hometown of Margarita, Venezuela. With prices starting at $49.99 U.S. per day, his 'Cool Hand Luke - All the Eggs you can Consume' breakfasts have become a huge hit with the German tourists. - - - 26 - Snake - Johnny "Snake" Edwards - Old Mister Reliable is what they called him. Getting in and out without anyone knowing he was there was what he did best. Regrettably, all that is written on his tombstone in Maupaa is "Casualty of War." Snake died a victim of unnecessary diplomacy in an event which lead to the court martial of Alan "Spam" Webster. While Webster negotiated the peaceful surrender of their weapons with a group of natives, Snake took a bullet from one of them, right between the eyes. - - 27 + 14 Speck Speck T. Kline While Speck never quite fit in with the mercenary lifestyle, his knack for repairing what was widely believed to be unrepairable made him one of our most sought-after members. That is, perhaps, why his decision to open a competing mercenary agency came as such a surprise to this organization. A.I.M. wishes him the best of luck, as we are all well aware, he will need it. - 28 + 15 Weasel Willy "Weasel" Augustin Wee Willy, otherwise known as Weasel and Mouthpiece, was primarily engaged by his employers as an inexpensive set of ears to keep tabs on his teammates. And, in a sick sense of justice, Augustin finally received what many felt he had coming. After blowing the whistle on his wife for welfare fraud, she returned to the family home after making bail and blew him away. - - - 29 - Leech - Timothy "Leech" Jenkins - It wasn't easy getting rid of Leech. His stubborn streak and outright disobedience left us no alternative but to place him on probation. After five such probationary periods, he was asked to tender his resignation, and naturally, he refused. Once terminated, Leech filed a wrongful dismissal suit, which we recently settled out of for an undisclosed amount of money. To this day, he continues to flood this office with employment applications. - - 30 + 16 Lance Lance Fisher Due to persistent personality clashes with Victoria Waters, Lance was asked to resign from A.I.M. in exchange for a posting at Westpoint Military Academy. He accepted, and is currently an instructor of ethics and tactical withdrawal, a subject which he recently published a book on. "Beating a Path to Safety without Screaming," is available at most military college bookstores. - 31 + 17 Stella Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel Margaret was the first female to join the ranks of A.I.M., and will be fondly missed. Besides her hard-fought battles on the combat field, Dr. Trammel will also be remembered for her uphill struggle with the A.I.M. Fraternal Benefits Association to gain spousal benefits for same sex partners. She recently opened a small family practice in the Virgin Islands. - 32 + 18 Eli Doctor Eli Summers Doctor Summers was by all accounts a gamer who made himself popular with employers by accepting assignments with newcomers and going about his business in a non-intrusive manner. Although A.I.M. regrets his decision to leave the organization, we are rather pleased to report that the good doctor has turned his favorite hobby into a profession. Currently playing on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour, Eli finished a respectable fourth in the Depends Open at Pebble Beach. - 33 + 19 Elroy Elroy B. Tolken He's gone. We didn't ask. We don't care. Does anybody? - 34 + 20 Skitz Bruce "Skitz" Bonner Bruce Bonner is gone - way gone! The addition of qualified explosive experts to our roster made a long-overdue decision much easier to make. After a record setting eight probationary periods, Skitz was finally expelled from the organization. Despite intensive therapy and twenty-one electroshock treatments, Skitz remains confined in Saint Michael's Hospital for the Criminally Insane. - 35 + 21 Wally Walter "Wally" Yuntz Someone once said that if Wally didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all. After learning that he did indeed have problems with his vision, Wally was scheduled for corrective surgery. The operation should have put his poor marksmanship behind him forever but the laser Yuntz was placed under experienced a programming error. Now totally blind, he and his lead Chippy, serve as Dr. Eli Summers' caddies on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour. - 36 + 22 Turtle Herman "Turtle" Regents Perhaps, Turtle's departure is best explained by an excerpt from his letter of resignation: "The pace of combat has become too much for me. I have been forced to run the beat rather than walk it. I have exhausted all avenues and find myself short of alternatives, other than to cough up my resignation effective immediately." Last we heard, Herman was working in Chicago as a probation officer. - - - 37 - Kaboom - Marty "Kaboom" Moffat - In one of the most peculiar cases of litigation to ever be launched against this organization, the estate of Marty Moffat has filed a wrongful death action. Kaboom, allegedly brain dead due to injuries sustained while defusing an explosive device, had his organs harvested as per his legally signed donor card. His family contends, however, that Marty was not dead at the time and was simply experiencing a slow morning. Our legal department has advised us not to elaborate any further. - - 38 + 23 Rev Reverend Clyde Potter Due to numerous complaints from the organization's atheist members, the combat chaplain position was eliminated from A.I.M., and the preachy Potter, as one of our least utilized members, was eliminated as well. After leaving A.I.M., Reverend Clyde Potter took a position with the Innercity Church of Christ in Baltimore. He currently denies ever having been associated with A.I.M. He returns his pension checks and refuses to take our calls. - - - 39 - Sparky - Megan "Sparky" Roachburn - Once the great family of warfare, the Roachburn legacy came to an end with the resignation of Megan. The only female family member and the last to leave A.I.M., Sparky moved on to the job she always wanted, an honesty shopper for K-Mart. Although she says the job of leaving exact change on the counter to see if the cashier rings in the sale can get a little boring, she'll take working at the mall over the battlefield any day. - - 40 + 24 Mitch Dr. Mitch Shudlem Never truly comfortable with the blood and gore of combat, Doctor Shudlem, after a great deal of soul searching, returned to the blood and gore of the delivery room. He is currently employed as the chief of the pre-natal care unit of Saint Mary's Hospital for Unwed Mothers. He says returning to his obstetric roots is the best thing that ever happened to him, and he wonders why he ever left in the first place. - 41 + 25 Carp Howard "Carp" Melfield Unable to excel in any given specialty, yet well-liked within the organization, Carp was offered a desk assignment with A.I.M. Effective immediately, Howard Melfield will be responsible for members' Health and Safety, Retirement, and Dental Plans. He has also graciously agreed to chair the office Christmas Party Committee. - 42 + 26 It Carl "It" Goodman Hired mainly for his brute force, Carl excelled with a crowbar and pleased employers for years with his simple, non-threatening attitude. After leaving A.I.M., Goodman returned to the world of professional wrestling where he claims every move is for keeps and the risk is real. Friends and fans alike can catch him as the Masked Mercenary most Saturday nights on Pay-Per-View's Wrestling Extravaganza. - - - 43 - Vinny - Vincenzo "Vinny" Massimo - While Vinny's years of service with A.I.M. have been impeccable and without so much as the slightest blemish in his personnel file, his personal life has been an entirely different matter. This wise-cracking wiseguy has been suspended from A.I.M. since his federal indictment for racketeering and tax evasion. With numerous counts against him, including rigging slot machines, injecting race horses with Demerol and supplying prostitutes to an Olympic water polo team, we don't expect him to return. - - - - 44 - Bob - Captain Bob Adams - Despite making ground as a combat soldier, decorated Air Force Pilot Bob Adams never quite shook his passion for flying. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Captain Adams retired from the organization, almost a year ago, to take a position with a major American airline. Tragically, while flying on a regional, short-hopper route, wind shear caused him to lose control of his aircraft. He crashed and died just outside of Phoenix this past July. - - 45 + 27 Hamous Hamous Hamous had his first taste of combat in Metavira, and based on a glowing recommendation from a major client, Jack Richards, he was granted an internship with this organization, which recently expired. Regrettably, poor Hamous never did manage to save up enough money to purchase that mini-van he desperately wanted. So he did the next best thing and stole one just outside of Paris. Actually, it was an ice cream truck and he was last seen headed towards Istanbul in it. - 46 + 28 Mouse Anita "Mouse" Backman Anita's stint with the organization was short and rather quiet. Known for her uncanny ability to move about unnoticed, and not much else, Mouse handed in her resignation at the same time as Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel. It is our understanding that they moved to the Virgin Islands together where Backman serves as nurse/receptionist at Trammel's newly opened medical clinic. - - - 47 - Postie - Jack "Postie" Durham - Postie has the distinction of being one of the few mercenaries A.I.M. regrets ever accepting into its membership. With that said, the union's grievance against the postal service finally made it to arbitration, and Postie has been returned to active duty with full back pay. He has been assigned to the customer service department, which has reported a dramatic drop in the number of complaints filed since he came onboard. - - - - 48 - Leon - Col. Leon Roachburn - Col. Leon Roachburn, a man who would have never made father of the year, was a responsible soldier and mentor to many. He passed away this past Christmas eve when his house trailer was engulfed by flames in a sudden grease fire. Remarkably, he left an estate valued at over a million dollars. Not so remarkably, his children were bequeathed nothing. Instead, Pamela Sue Anderson was named the sole beneficiary. - - 49 + 29 Dyno Roger "Dyno" Wittman Roger tried. Boy did he try. But he just seemed to lack the necessary edge. Understandably, some of the guys liked having him along for the laughs while others enjoyed cleaning their rifles with him. But ultimately, he realized he just wasn't cut out for the profession. Last we heard, Dyno was serving as the understudy to the Green Hippo in Animals on Ice. - - - 50 - Spam - Alan "Spam" Webster - Alan Webster's time within the organization was short and hardly memorable. His years of peacekeeping duty seemed to have hampered his aggression and in turn, jeopardized the safety of his squad. Following the incident in Maupaa which lead to the death of Johnny "Snake" Edwards, A.I.M. could no longer ignore his inability to take armed men seriously. Spam was court-martialed and received a dishonorable discharge in March 1998. - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/gamedir-languages/French_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/French.OldAIMArchive.xml b/gamedir-languages/French_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/French.OldAIMArchive.xml index 803bdd3d4..630ab62d1 100644 --- a/gamedir-languages/French_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/French.OldAIMArchive.xml +++ b/gamedir-languages/French_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/French.OldAIMArchive.xml @@ -1,359 +1,213 @@  - - - 0 - Needle - Doctor Mark Kranhuim - After over a decade of valiant service, Needle failed his annual physical and was forced into early retirement. Regrettably, further deterioration of Doctor Mark Kranhuim's wandering right eye had rendered him a danger to his squad. Presently, he holds a part-time position with the New York City Coroner's Office working the graveyard shift as a Coroner. - - - - 1 - Gary - Gary Roachburn - Gary Roachburn, well-known for his family tree and loose tongue, was the second of the Roachburns to sever their ties with the organization. After the sudden, accidental death of his father, Col. Leon Roachburn, Gary left the life of a soldier of fortune and has taken a seasonal position with the Boy Scouts of America. At the moment, he is stationed at Camp Takaddata. - - - - 2 - Sam - Samuel "Sam" Garver - After an illustrious career as a mercenary, Sam Garver put in for his pension and retired to the Florida Keys. He is enjoying his golden years as the owner/operator of Sam's Alligator Ranch and Gift shop. Located just off Highway 71, the conveniently situated shop has acquired a reputation for its exclusive line of gator-skinned combat knives and matching boots. - - - - 3 - Boss - Glen "Boss" Hatchet - Boss Hatchet always said he would walk away from this business alive, and that is precisely what he did. Offered the opportunity to run Victoria Waters' Vintage car restoration and repair shop, Glen turned in his gun and left with his tool box. He will probably best be remembered for the pummeling he gave Dr. Bernie Gloveless at last year's A.I.M. Christmas party. - + - 4 + 0 Smoke Smoke Peterson Throughout his many years of shaky service with A.I.M., Smoke Peterson was repeatedly cited for short-fusing explosives - a juvenile attempt at cheap laughs. To the delight of a number of members, the final laugh was on him. Distracted by an elusive pebble in his combat boot, Peterson bid this world goodbye with a loud bang, a puff of smoke, and one far-reaching unidentifiable mess. - - - 5 - Jimmy - Jimmy Upton - Unfortunately, some old habits never die. Jimmy Upton was discovered in a bank in south-west Detroit after business hours. Despite his vehement denials and supposed lack of knowledge regarding the burglary tools found in his possession, Upton was sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary. After completing that sentence, Jimmy is scheduled to be returned to Ohio to serve the seven remaining years on a previous burglary conviction. - - 6 + 1 Doc Doc Koolhan Doc Koolhan resigned from A.I.M. to focus his energies on his medical practice. He had been running a free clinic as a sideline in Tripoli for years. However, six months after working there full-time, he closed up his office and joined Doctors Without Frontiers. At present, he is believed to be serving with the organization in Tunisia. - 7 + 2 Wink Wink Dickerson Known primarily for his strong throwing arm, yet poor accuracy, Wink Dinkerson finally received the call he had been waiting for all of his life. Severe budget cuts left the Montreal Expos searching for pitching talent, or the lack of it, just about anywhere. After accepting a contract for 140 Canadian dollars a week, Wink has earned a position as the fifth pitcher in the starting rotation of their farm club. - - - 8 - Beth - Mary Beth Wilkens - It is one of the most tragic turn of events we have ever had to report. Mary Beth died last August on the steps of her apartment building at the hands of a lone gunman. After enduring months of harassment, which developed into stalking, she was surprised by a crazed mercenary groupie, as she walked up to her doorway with her arms full of groceries. Mary Beth's determination and positive attitude will remain an inspiration to us all. - - - - 9 - Bud - Lt. Bud Hellar - Lieutenant Bud Hellar has held a series of jobs since leaving A.I.M., from working as Rush Limbaugh's personal bodyguard to parking cars at the pentagon. His departure from the organization was amicable, and he shall be remembered for his steadfast dedication and loyalty. Recent reports have him working as a security consultant for the tobacco lobby. While entirely within character, this information has not been verified. - - 10 + 3 Larry Larry Roachburn After eight attempts at rehab without any sustained success, A.I.M. was left with little choice but to terminate Larry Roachburn's membership within the organization. From what we understand, the death of Larry's father persuaded him to make yet another attempt at ridding himself of his demons and cleansing his body from decades of toxicity. The organization wishes him the best of luck in all his future endeavors. - 11 + 4 Ears Edward "Ears" Stockwell Ears Stockwell handed in his resignation almost eighteen months ago. Since that time, we have heard nothing from him and therefore have no news to report. Though, to be honest, we haven't exactly gone out of our way to make contact with him either. - 12 + 5 Moses Murray "Moses" Ebstern Opting to take part in A.I.M.'s early retirement package offered to all mercenaries over fifty, Moses decided it was time to move on and into a new line of work. Investing his severance, Ebstern opened a restaurant on the main. After just two short years in business, Murray's has established a reputation for serving the best smoked meat in New Delhi. - - - 13 - Screw - Patrick "Screw" Phillips - It is with regret that A.I.M. acknowledges the departure of Patrick Phillips from its ranks. Due to many unresolved issues, mostly relating to Screw's deviation from acceptable social norms, Patrick felt it best to continue his career as an independent. As of last word, he was working freelance for some of the newer countries in Eastern Europe. - - - - 14 - Rusty - Russell "Rusty" Hunter - Known for years as one A.I.M.'s top explosive experts, Rusty acquired a stellar reputation for his range of knowledge and, well... being the sanest of the lot. Russell Hunter recently took an extended leave of absence to work as a special effects consultant for a major motion picture studio. Fortunately for A.I.M., the past year has seen a wealth of new talent emerge in the explosives field. - - 15 + 6 Bernie Doctor Bernie Gloveless Bernie's history with A.I.M. can probably be, at best, described as checkered. After refusing to give up his position as the organization's physician and considering the abundance of complaints from fellow members, A.I.M. felt obliged to give Dr. Bernie Gloveless a dishonorable discharge. He's currently employed with an international insurance company, so you might want to remember his name the next time your company sends you for your annual physical. - - - 16 - Reuban - "Unusually Ruthless" Reuban - After years of eluding capture, Reuban was finally arrested and deported to Romania. He is currently serving six concurrent life sentences for the massacre of his wife and family. Although Reuban will never be able to enjoy life as a free man, he seems to be adjusting well to his new found surroundings. His prison duties include landscaping the grounds and some of his shrub sculptures have won the penitentiary numerous "Good Prisonkeeping" awards. - - 17 + 7 Pops Pops McGillicutty After years of trying to convince Pops McGillicutty to retire, A.I.M. was finally forced to institute a mandatory retirement policy for those reaching the age of 85. Wanting to do his part to eliminate river burials, Pops opened a web-based Funeral Salon specializing in the respectful interment of mercenaries. - - - 18 - Kelly - Col. Leo Kelly - Often referred to as the mercenary's mercenary, Col. Leo Kelly dropped out of sight shortly after the war in Croatia hit the fan. Some of our members do claim to have seen him leading a commando unit through the jungles of Napir though, and he did receive on-screen credit for technical combat consultation in Steven Segal's latest flick. However, no official news of his whereabouts have reached our offices. - - 19 + 8 Tex Tex R. Colburn One of our more colorful warriors, Tex Colburn, handed in his six-shooters to fulfill his dream of starring on the big screen. As a rising star in Japanese westerns, he played the lead in "Much Dust, Many Bullets," and has received glowing reviews for his roles in the classic films "Attack of the Clydesdales" and "Have Honda, will Travel." - 20 + 9 Hurl Hurl E. Cutter Hurl, a profitable patient for doctors everywhere, has been missing for the past nine months. A careful search of hospital records and unidentified bodies in the Havana area, his last known whereabouts, has failed to provide any insight. Fidel Dahan has been repeatedly questioned concerning his disappearance, yet police are no further ahead in their investigation. - 21 + 10 Biff Biff Apscott Biff Apscott was a truly unique man among mercenary men. He will be greatly missed for his youthful enthusiasm and the way he reminded everyone of just how brave they were. Although somewhat hard to believe, we have been made aware that he has opened up his own mercenary organization in a somewhat pitiful attempt to compete with A.I.M. It's probably not necessary to elaborate on just how worried we are. - - - 22 - Spike - Major Spike Scallion - The departure of Spike Scallion from A.I.M. was a major loss to the organization. His demeanor and unwavering command of any situation always served as a comfort to those who found themselves neck deep in it alongside him. Major Scallion was offered a lucrative long-term contract serving as a military consultant for the North Koreans and no amount of negotiation could convince him to stay. - - 23 + 11 Raffi Dr. Raffitto "Raffi" Leevon Doctor Leevon, whose medical degree was always the subject of much debate, left this organization at the beginning of the year without notification. Apparently, he has changed his name and embarked on a new career. Doctor Raffiman, and his Cajun-funk band, Rotis & Haggis, have captured the imagination of the music world with the distinctive sound of their synthesized spoons and their current hit, Bajun Bayous. - 24 + 12 Mike Mike While undergoing negotiations for yet another pay increase, Mike suddenly withdrew from the discussions when he was informed that many employers had already complained about his exaggerated rates.

Regrettably, further deterioration of Doctor Mark Kranhuim's wandering right eye had rendered him a danger to his squad. Presently, he holds a part-time position with the New York City Coroner's Office working the graveyard shift as a Coroner. - - - - 1 - Gary - Gary Roachburn - Gary Roachburn, well-known for his family tree and loose tongue, was the second of the Roachburns to sever their ties with the organization. After the sudden, accidental death of his father, Col. Leon Roachburn, Gary left the life of a soldier of fortune and has taken a seasonal position with the Boy Scouts of America. At the moment, he is stationed at Camp Takaddata. - - - - 2 - Sam - Samuel "Sam" Garver - After an illustrious career as a mercenary, Sam Garver put in for his pension and retired to the Florida Keys. He is enjoying his golden years as the owner/operator of Sam's Alligator Ranch and Gift shop. Located just off Highway 71, the conveniently situated shop has acquired a reputation for its exclusive line of gator-skinned combat knives and matching boots. - - - - 3 - Boss - Glen "Boss" Hatchet - Boss Hatchet always said he would walk away from this business alive, and that is precisely what he did. Offered the opportunity to run Victoria Waters' Vintage car restoration and repair shop, Glen turned in his gun and left with his tool box. He will probably best be remembered for the pummeling he gave Dr. Bernie Gloveless at last year's A.I.M. Christmas party. - + - 4 + 0 Smoke Smoke Peterson Throughout his many years of shaky service with A.I.M., Smoke Peterson was repeatedly cited for short-fusing explosives - a juvenile attempt at cheap laughs. To the delight of a number of members, the final laugh was on him. Distracted by an elusive pebble in his combat boot, Peterson bid this world goodbye with a loud bang, a puff of smoke, and one far-reaching unidentifiable mess. - - - 5 - Jimmy - Jimmy Upton - Unfortunately, some old habits never die. Jimmy Upton was discovered in a bank in south-west Detroit after business hours. Despite his vehement denials and supposed lack of knowledge regarding the burglary tools found in his possession, Upton was sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary. After completing that sentence, Jimmy is scheduled to be returned to Ohio to serve the seven remaining years on a previous burglary conviction. - - 6 + 1 Doc Doc Koolhan Doc Koolhan resigned from A.I.M. to focus his energies on his medical practice. He had been running a free clinic as a sideline in Tripoli for years. However, six months after working there full-time, he closed up his office and joined Doctors Without Frontiers. At present, he is believed to be serving with the organization in Tunisia. - 7 + 2 Wink Wink Dickerson Known primarily for his strong throwing arm, yet poor accuracy, Wink Dinkerson finally received the call he had been waiting for all of his life. Severe budget cuts left the Montreal Expos searching for pitching talent, or the lack of it, just about anywhere. After accepting a contract for 140 Canadian dollars a week, Wink has earned a position as the fifth pitcher in the starting rotation of their farm club. - - - 8 - Beth - Mary Beth Wilkens - It is one of the most tragic turn of events we have ever had to report. Mary Beth died last August on the steps of her apartment building at the hands of a lone gunman. After enduring months of harassment, which developed into stalking, she was surprised by a crazed mercenary groupie, as she walked up to her doorway with her arms full of groceries. Mary Beth's determination and positive attitude will remain an inspiration to us all. - - - - 9 - Bud - Lt. Bud Hellar - Lieutenant Bud Hellar has held a series of jobs since leaving A.I.M., from working as Rush Limbaugh's personal bodyguard to parking cars at the pentagon. His departure from the organization was amicable, and he shall be remembered for his steadfast dedication and loyalty. Recent reports have him working as a security consultant for the tobacco lobby. While entirely within character, this information has not been verified. - - 10 + 3 Larry Larry Roachburn After eight attempts at rehab without any sustained success, A.I.M. was left with little choice but to terminate Larry Roachburn's membership within the organization. From what we understand, the death of Larry's father persuaded him to make yet another attempt at ridding himself of his demons and cleansing his body from decades of toxicity. The organization wishes him the best of luck in all his future endeavors. - 11 + 4 Ears Edward "Ears" Stockwell Ears Stockwell handed in his resignation almost eighteen months ago. Since that time, we have heard nothing from him and therefore have no news to report. Though, to be honest, we haven't exactly gone out of our way to make contact with him either. - 12 + 5 Moses Murray "Moses" Ebstern Opting to take part in A.I.M.'s early retirement package offered to all mercenaries over fifty, Moses decided it was time to move on and into a new line of work. Investing his severance, Ebstern opened a restaurant on the main. After just two short years in business, Murray's has established a reputation for serving the best smoked meat in New Delhi. - - - 13 - Screw - Patrick "Screw" Phillips - It is with regret that A.I.M. acknowledges the departure of Patrick Phillips from its ranks. Due to many unresolved issues, mostly relating to Screw's deviation from acceptable social norms, Patrick felt it best to continue his career as an independent. As of last word, he was working freelance for some of the newer countries in Eastern Europe. - - - - 14 - Rusty - Russell "Rusty" Hunter - Known for years as one A.I.M.'s top explosive experts, Rusty acquired a stellar reputation for his range of knowledge and, well... being the sanest of the lot. Russell Hunter recently took an extended leave of absence to work as a special effects consultant for a major motion picture studio. Fortunately for A.I.M., the past year has seen a wealth of new talent emerge in the explosives field. - - 15 + 6 Bernie Doctor Bernie Gloveless Bernie's history with A.I.M. can probably be, at best, described as checkered. After refusing to give up his position as the organization's physician and considering the abundance of complaints from fellow members, A.I.M. felt obliged to give Dr. Bernie Gloveless a dishonorable discharge. He's currently employed with an international insurance company, so you might want to remember his name the next time your company sends you for your annual physical. - - - 16 - Reuban - "Unusually Ruthless" Reuban - After years of eluding capture, Reuban was finally arrested and deported to Romania. He is currently serving six concurrent life sentences for the massacre of his wife and family. Although Reuban will never be able to enjoy life as a free man, he seems to be adjusting well to his new found surroundings. His prison duties include landscaping the grounds and some of his shrub sculptures have won the penitentiary numerous "Good Prisonkeeping" awards. - - 17 + 7 Pops Pops McGillicutty After years of trying to convince Pops McGillicutty to retire, A.I.M. was finally forced to institute a mandatory retirement policy for those reaching the age of 85. Wanting to do his part to eliminate river burials, Pops opened a web-based Funeral Salon specializing in the respectful interment of mercenaries. - - - 18 - Kelly - Col. Leo Kelly - Often referred to as the mercenary's mercenary, Col. Leo Kelly dropped out of sight shortly after the war in Croatia hit the fan. Some of our members do claim to have seen him leading a commando unit through the jungles of Napir though, and he did receive on-screen credit for technical combat consultation in Steven Segal's latest flick. However, no official news of his whereabouts have reached our offices. - - 19 + 8 Tex Tex R. Colburn One of our more colorful warriors, Tex Colburn, handed in his six-shooters to fulfill his dream of starring on the big screen. As a rising star in Japanese westerns, he played the lead in "Much Dust, Many Bullets," and has received glowing reviews for his roles in the classic films "Attack of the Clydesdales" and "Have Honda, will Travel." - 20 + 9 Hurl Hurl E. Cutter Hurl, a profitable patient for doctors everywhere, has been missing for the past nine months. A careful search of hospital records and unidentified bodies in the Havana area, his last known whereabouts, has failed to provide any insight. Fidel Dahan has been repeatedly questioned concerning his disappearance, yet police are no further ahead in their investigation. - 21 + 10 Biff Biff Apscott Biff Apscott was a truly unique man among mercenary men. He will be greatly missed for his youthful enthusiasm and the way he reminded everyone of just how brave they were. Although somewhat hard to believe, we have been made aware that he has opened up his own mercenary organization in a somewhat pitiful attempt to compete with A.I.M. It's probably not necessary to elaborate on just how worried we are. - - - 22 - Spike - Major Spike Scallion - The departure of Spike Scallion from A.I.M. was a major loss to the organization. His demeanor and unwavering command of any situation always served as a comfort to those who found themselves neck deep in it alongside him. Major Scallion was offered a lucrative long-term contract serving as a military consultant for the North Koreans and no amount of negotiation could convince him to stay. - - 23 + 11 Raffi Dr. Raffitto "Raffi" Leevon Doctor Leevon, whose medical degree was always the subject of much debate, left this organization at the beginning of the year without notification. Apparently, he has changed his name and embarked on a new career. Doctor Raffiman, and his Cajun-funk band, Rotis & Haggis, have captured the imagination of the music world with the distinctive sound of their synthesized spoons and their current hit, Bajun Bayous. - 24 + 12 Mike Mike While undergoing negotiations for yet another pay increase, Mike suddenly withdrew from the discussions when he was informed that many employers had already complained about his exaggerated rates. His current whereabouts are unknown, just like pretty much everything else about him. The last correspondence received by this office, postmarked in a small country whose name escapes us, contained threats we'd rather not recall. - 25 + 13 Hector Hector Alvarez Seriously wounded in Zaire, Hector Alvarez was placed on permanent medical disability. Using his insurance money, he opened an oceanside bed and breakfast in his hometown of Margarita, Venezuela. With prices starting at $49.99 U.S. per day, his 'Cool Hand Luke - All the Eggs you can Consume' breakfasts have become a huge hit with the German tourists. - - - 26 - Snake - Johnny "Snake" Edwards - Old Mister Reliable is what they called him. Getting in and out without anyone knowing he was there was what he did best. Regrettably, all that is written on his tombstone in Maupaa is "Casualty of War." Snake died a victim of unnecessary diplomacy in an event which lead to the court martial of Alan "Spam" Webster. While Webster negotiated the peaceful surrender of their weapons with a group of natives, Snake took a bullet from one of them, right between the eyes. - - 27 + 14 Speck Speck T. Kline While Speck never quite fit in with the mercenary lifestyle, his knack for repairing what was widely believed to be unrepairable made him one of our most sought-after members. That is, perhaps, why his decision to open a competing mercenary agency came as such a surprise to this organization. A.I.M. wishes him the best of luck, as we are all well aware, he will need it. - 28 + 15 Weasel Willy "Weasel" Augustin Wee Willy, otherwise known as Weasel and Mouthpiece, was primarily engaged by his employers as an inexpensive set of ears to keep tabs on his teammates. And, in a sick sense of justice, Augustin finally received what many felt he had coming. After blowing the whistle on his wife for welfare fraud, she returned to the family home after making bail and blew him away. - - - 29 - Leech - Timothy "Leech" Jenkins - It wasn't easy getting rid of Leech. His stubborn streak and outright disobedience left us no alternative but to place him on probation. After five such probationary periods, he was asked to tender his resignation, and naturally, he refused. Once terminated, Leech filed a wrongful dismissal suit, which we recently settled out of for an undisclosed amount of money. To this day, he continues to flood this office with employment applications. - - 30 + 16 Lance Lance Fisher Due to persistent personality clashes with Victoria Waters, Lance was asked to resign from A.I.M. in exchange for a posting at Westpoint Military Academy. He accepted, and is currently an instructor of ethics and tactical withdrawal, a subject which he recently published a book on. "Beating a Path to Safety without Screaming," is available at most military college bookstores. - 31 + 17 Stella Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel Margaret was the first female to join the ranks of A.I.M., and will be fondly missed. Besides her hard-fought battles on the combat field, Dr. Trammel will also be remembered for her uphill struggle with the A.I.M. Fraternal Benefits Association to gain spousal benefits for same sex partners. She recently opened a small family practice in the Virgin Islands. - 32 + 18 Eli Doctor Eli Summers Doctor Summers was by all accounts a gamer who made himself popular with employers by accepting assignments with newcomers and going about his business in a non-intrusive manner. Although A.I.M. regrets his decision to leave the organization, we are rather pleased to report that the good doctor has turned his favorite hobby into a profession. Currently playing on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour, Eli finished a respectable fourth in the Depends Open at Pebble Beach. - 33 + 19 Elroy Elroy B. Tolken He's gone. We didn't ask. We don't care. Does anybody? - 34 + 20 Skitz Bruce "Skitz" Bonner Bruce Bonner is gone - way gone! The addition of qualified explosive experts to our roster made a long-overdue decision much easier to make. After a record setting eight probationary periods, Skitz was finally expelled from the organization. Despite intensive therapy and twenty-one electroshock treatments, Skitz remains confined in Saint Michael's Hospital for the Criminally Insane. - 35 + 21 Wally Walter "Wally" Yuntz Someone once said that if Wally didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all. After learning that he did indeed have problems with his vision, Wally was scheduled for corrective surgery. The operation should have put his poor marksmanship behind him forever but the laser Yuntz was placed under experienced a programming error. Now totally blind, he and his lead Chippy, serve as Dr. Eli Summers' caddies on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour. - 36 + 22 Turtle Herman "Turtle" Regents Perhaps, Turtle's departure is best explained by an excerpt from his letter of resignation: "The pace of combat has become too much for me. I have been forced to run the beat rather than walk it. I have exhausted all avenues and find myself short of alternatives, other than to cough up my resignation effective immediately." Last we heard, Herman was working in Chicago as a probation officer. - - - 37 - Kaboom - Marty "Kaboom" Moffat - In one of the most peculiar cases of litigation to ever be launched against this organization, the estate of Marty Moffat has filed a wrongful death action. Kaboom, allegedly brain dead due to injuries sustained while defusing an explosive device, had his organs harvested as per his legally signed donor card. His family contends, however, that Marty was not dead at the time and was simply experiencing a slow morning. Our legal department has advised us not to elaborate any further. - - 38 + 23 Rev Reverend Clyde Potter Due to numerous complaints from the organization's atheist members, the combat chaplain position was eliminated from A.I.M., and the preachy Potter, as one of our least utilized members, was eliminated as well. After leaving A.I.M., Reverend Clyde Potter took a position with the Innercity Church of Christ in Baltimore. He currently denies ever having been associated with A.I.M. He returns his pension checks and refuses to take our calls. - - - 39 - Sparky - Megan "Sparky" Roachburn - Once the great family of warfare, the Roachburn legacy came to an end with the resignation of Megan. The only female family member and the last to leave A.I.M., Sparky moved on to the job she always wanted, an honesty shopper for K-Mart. Although she says the job of leaving exact change on the counter to see if the cashier rings in the sale can get a little boring, she'll take working at the mall over the battlefield any day. - - 40 + 24 Mitch Dr. Mitch Shudlem Never truly comfortable with the blood and gore of combat, Doctor Shudlem, after a great deal of soul searching, returned to the blood and gore of the delivery room. He is currently employed as the chief of the pre-natal care unit of Saint Mary's Hospital for Unwed Mothers. He says returning to his obstetric roots is the best thing that ever happened to him, and he wonders why he ever left in the first place. - 41 + 25 Carp Howard "Carp" Melfield Unable to excel in any given specialty, yet well-liked within the organization, Carp was offered a desk assignment with A.I.M. Effective immediately, Howard Melfield will be responsible for members' Health and Safety, Retirement, and Dental Plans. He has also graciously agreed to chair the office Christmas Party Committee. - 42 + 26 It Carl "It" Goodman Hired mainly for his brute force, Carl excelled with a crowbar and pleased employers for years with his simple, non-threatening attitude. After leaving A.I.M., Goodman returned to the world of professional wrestling where he claims every move is for keeps and the risk is real. Friends and fans alike can catch him as the Masked Mercenary most Saturday nights on Pay-Per-View's Wrestling Extravaganza. - - - 43 - Vinny - Vincenzo "Vinny" Massimo - While Vinny's years of service with A.I.M. have been impeccable and without so much as the slightest blemish in his personnel file, his personal life has been an entirely different matter. This wise-cracking wiseguy has been suspended from A.I.M. since his federal indictment for racketeering and tax evasion. With numerous counts against him, including rigging slot machines, injecting race horses with Demerol and supplying prostitutes to an Olympic water polo team, we don't expect him to return. - - - - 44 - Bob - Captain Bob Adams - Despite making ground as a combat soldier, decorated Air Force Pilot Bob Adams never quite shook his passion for flying. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Captain Adams retired from the organization, almost a year ago, to take a position with a major American airline. Tragically, while flying on a regional, short-hopper route, wind shear caused him to lose control of his aircraft. He crashed and died just outside of Phoenix this past July. - - 45 + 27 Hamous Hamous Hamous had his first taste of combat in Metavira, and based on a glowing recommendation from a major client, Jack Richards, he was granted an internship with this organization, which recently expired. Regrettably, poor Hamous never did manage to save up enough money to purchase that mini-van he desperately wanted. So he did the next best thing and stole one just outside of Paris. Actually, it was an ice cream truck and he was last seen headed towards Istanbul in it. - 46 + 28 Mouse Anita "Mouse" Backman Anita's stint with the organization was short and rather quiet. Known for her uncanny ability to move about unnoticed, and not much else, Mouse handed in her resignation at the same time as Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel. It is our understanding that they moved to the Virgin Islands together where Backman serves as nurse/receptionist at Trammel's newly opened medical clinic. - - - 47 - Postie - Jack "Postie" Durham - Postie has the distinction of being one of the few mercenaries A.I.M. regrets ever accepting into its membership. With that said, the union's grievance against the postal service finally made it to arbitration, and Postie has been returned to active duty with full back pay. He has been assigned to the customer service department, which has reported a dramatic drop in the number of complaints filed since he came onboard. - - - - 48 - Leon - Col. Leon Roachburn - Col. Leon Roachburn, a man who would have never made father of the year, was a responsible soldier and mentor to many. He passed away this past Christmas eve when his house trailer was engulfed by flames in a sudden grease fire. Remarkably, he left an estate valued at over a million dollars. Not so remarkably, his children were bequeathed nothing. Instead, Pamela Sue Anderson was named the sole beneficiary. - - 49 + 29 Dyno Roger "Dyno" Wittman Roger tried. Boy did he try. But he just seemed to lack the necessary edge. Understandably, some of the guys liked having him along for the laughs while others enjoyed cleaning their rifles with him. But ultimately, he realized he just wasn't cut out for the profession. Last we heard, Dyno was serving as the understudy to the Green Hippo in Animals on Ice. - - - 50 - Spam - Alan "Spam" Webster - Alan Webster's time within the organization was short and hardly memorable. His years of peacekeeping duty seemed to have hampered his aggression and in turn, jeopardized the safety of his squad. Following the incident in Maupaa which lead to the death of Johnny "Snake" Edwards, A.I.M. could no longer ignore his inability to take armed men seriously. Spam was court-martialed and received a dishonorable discharge in March 1998. - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/gamedir-languages/Polish_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Polish.OldAIMArchive.xml b/gamedir-languages/Polish_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Polish.OldAIMArchive.xml index 962d4b4a7..630ab62d1 100644 --- a/gamedir-languages/Polish_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Polish.OldAIMArchive.xml +++ b/gamedir-languages/Polish_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Polish.OldAIMArchive.xml @@ -1,303 +1,213 @@ - - - - 0 - Needle - Doktor Mark Kranhuim - Po ponad dziesięciu latach dzielnej służby, Kranhuim nie przeszedł corocznego testu na psychikę i został zmuszony do odejścia na wcześniejszą emeryturę.

Znajdujący się tuż przy autostradzie 71, dogodnie położony sklep, zdobył świetną reputację dzięki ekskluzywnym, oprawionym w skórę aligatora, nożom wojskowym. - - - - 3 - Smoke - Smoke Peterson - Przez wszystkie lata jego chwiejnej służby w A.I.M. Smoke Peterson był często karany za swoje wybuchowe wybryki - dziecinnie głupie kawały. Ku zadowoleniu wielu członków, rozczarowany Peterson zafundował temu światu głośne pożegnanie - kłęby dymu i jeden wielki niemożliwy do zidentyfikowania bałagan. - - - - 4 - Doc - Doc Koolhan - Doc Koolhan odszedł z A.I.M., aby skupić się na praktyce lekarskiej. Przez lata pracował jako dochodzący w bezpłatnej klinice w Trypolisie. Jednak po sześciu miesiącach pracy na pełny etat zamknął swoje biuro i przyłączył się do kontyngentu humanitarnego "Lekarze bez granic". Obecnie prawdopodobnie służy tej organizacji w Tunezji. - - - - 5 - Wink - Wink Dickerson - Znany przede wszystkim ze swej silnie, choć niecelnie, rzucającej ręki, Wink Dinkerson w końcu odebrał telefon, na który czekał całe życie. Ostre cięcia budżetowe w Montreal Expos spowodowały, że poszukiwano miotaczy z talentem, lub bez, w każdym razie jakoś tak. Po podpisaniu kontraktu na 140 dolarów kanadyjskich tygodniowo, Wink został piątym miotaczem w wiejskiej drużynie baseballowej. - - - - 6 - Beth - Mary Beth Wilkens - To jeden z najtragiczniejszych splotów wydarzeń, o jakim kiedykolwiek zmuszeni byliśmy donieść. Mary Beth zginęła w sierpniu na schodach bloku, w którym mieszkała z rąk wolnego strzelca. Po tym, jak miesiącami była nękana, co w końcu przerodziło się w prześladowanie, została zaskoczona w drodze do mieszkania z rękoma pełnymi zakupów przez oszalałego najemnika. Jej determinacja i postawa pozostanie inspiracją dla nas wszystkich. - - - - 7 - Bud - Por. Bud Hellar - Porucznik Bud Hellar od czasu opuszczenia A.I.M. pałał się wieloma zajęciami, od pracy w charakterze osobistego ochroniarza Rush Limbaugh, po parkowanie samochodów przed pentagonem. Z organizacją rozstał się w sposób polubowny i będzie pamiętany ze względu na swe oddanie i lojalność. Według naszych najnowszych informacji, pracuje jako konsultant do spraw bezpieczeństwa w koncernie tytoniowym. Informacja ta jednak nie została sprawdzona. - - - - 8 - Larry - Larry Roachburn - Po ośmiu próbach rehabilitacji bez żadnego znaczącego sukcesu, A.I.M., nie mając wyboru, położyła kres członkostwu Larryego Roachburna w tej organizacji. Z tego co wiemy, śmierć ojca skłoniła Larryego do podjęcia jeszcze jednej próby pozbycia się swoich demonów i wyczyszczenia organizmu z dziesiątek toksyn. Organizacja życzy mu powodzenia we wszystkich przyszłych staraniach. - - - - 9 - Ears - Edward "Ears" Stockwell - Ears Stockwell złożył rezygnację prawie osiemnaście miesięcy temu. Od tego czasu nie mieliśmy od niego żadnych wiadomości, w związku z tym, nic na jego temat nie wiemy. Choć mówiąc szczerze, nie staraliśmy się zbytnio z nim skontaktować. - - - - 10 - Moses - Murray "Moses" Ebstern - Decydując się na wcześniejsze przejście na emeryturę, zaoferowane przez A.I.M. wszystkim najemnikom po pięćdziesiątce, Moses zdecydował, że czas już się przenieść w inną sferę działalności. Inwestując swoją odprawę, Ebstern otworzył na kopalni restaurację. Po dwóch krótkich latach w biznesie, Murray zyskał sobie reputację serwującego najlepsze wędzone wędliny w New Delhi. - - - - 11 - Screw - Patrick "Screw" Phillips - A.I.M. z żalem ogłosiła odejście Patricka Phillipsa z jej szeregów, z powodu wielu nierozwiązanych spraw, w większości tyczących się odstąpieniem Screw'a od norm społecznych. Patrick zrobił wszystko, by kontynuować karierę jako człowiek niezależny. Dlatego właśnie służył jako najemny żołnierz dla jednego z nowopowstałych krajów Europy Wschodniej. - - - - 12 - Rusty - Russell "Rusty" Hunter - Od lat znany jako jeden z najlepszych ekspertów A.I.M. od materiałów wybuchowych, Rusty zdobył swoją wiedzą (i faktem, że był najrozsądniejszy ze wszystkich) gwiazdorską sławę. Russel Hunter wziął ostatnio mocno przedłużony urlop, by pracować jako konsultant do spraw efektów specjalnych dla jednej z najlepszych wytwórni filmowych. Na szczęście dla A.I.M. ostatnie lata obfitują w wyłaniające się talenty w dziedzinie materiałów wybuchowych. - - - - 13 - Bernie - Doktor Bernie Gloveless - Historia Berniego w A.I.M. może być w najlepszym wypadku określona jako burzliwa. Po tym, jak odmówił ustąpienia ze stanowiska lekarza w organizacji i biorąc pod uwagę ilość skarg ze strony pozostałych jej członków, A.I.M. poczuła się zobowiązana zwolnić doktora Berniego Glovelessa. Obecnie zatrudniony jest w międzynarodowej firmie ubezpieczeniowej, więc może lepiej zapamiętaj sobie jego nazwisko, na wypadek gdy następnym razem twoja firma wyśle cię na badania okresowe. - - - - 14 - Reuban - "Wyjątkowo Bezwzględny" Reuban - Po tym, jak latami udawało mu się uniknąć schwytania, Reuban w końcu został aresztowany i deportowany do Rumunii. Obecnie odsiaduje sześć równoległych wyroków śmierci za makabryczne zabójstwo swojej żony i całej rodziny. Mimo, że Reuban nigdy nie będzie cieszył się życiem jako wolny człowiek, zdaje się, że dobrze się dostosował do nowego otoczenia. Do jego więziennych obowiązków należy dbanie o zieleń, a niektóre z jego rzeźb z krzewów były kilkakrotnie nagradzane. - - - - 15 - Pops - Pops McGillicutty - Po latach starań, by przekonać Popsa, by przeszedł na emeryturę, A.I.M. w końcu została zmuszona do wprowadzenia przepisu o obowiązkowym przejściu na emeryturę dla członków, którzy osiągnęli wiek 85 lat. Chcąc przyczynić się do wyeliminowania pochówków w rzekach, Pops otworzył zakład pogrzebowy, specjalizujący się w uroczystym pochówku najemników. - - - - 16 - Tex - Tex R.

Jako wschodząca gwiazda japońskich westernów zagrał główną rolę w "Much Dust, Many Bullets" , a za role w filmach: "Attack of the Clydesdales" i "Have Honda, will Travel" otrzymał promienne recenzje. - - - - 17 - Hurl - Hurl E. Cutter - Hurl, intratny pacjent dla lekarzy w każdym miejscu na ziemi, zaginął ponad dziewięć miesięcy temu. Dokładnie przeszukane szpitalne rejestry i zbadane niezidentyfikowane zwłoki na obszarze Hawany, w miejscu, gdzie ostatnio był widziany, nie przyniosły rezultatu. W sprawie jego zniknięcia przesłuchiwano kilkakrotnie Fidela Dahana, ale policja nie posunęła się w dochodzeniu ani o krok na przód. - - - - 18 - Biff - Biff Apscott - Biff Apscott był rzeczywiście wyjątkowym facetem pośród najemników. Będzie nam bardzo brakowało jego młodzieńczego entuzjazmu i sposobu, w jaki przekonywał wszystkich jak bardzo są odważni. Choć jakoś trudno w to uwierzyć, wiemy na pewno, że otworzył swoją własną organizację najemników, jakąś żałosną próbę konkurowania z A.I.M. Najprawdopodobniej nie jest koniecznym zagłębianie się w to, jak bardzo się tym faktem przejęliśmy. - - - - 19 - Raffi - Dr Raffitto "Raffi" Leevon - Doktor Leevon, którego kwalifikacje były zawsze przedmiotem wielu dyskusji, opuścił organizację na początku roku bez uprzedzenia. Najwyraźniej zmienił swoją wyżej wspomnianą profesję na nową. Doktor Raffitto i jego kapela, Rotis & Haggis, zawładnęli wyobraźnią muzyczną świata przy pomocy charakterystycznego brzmienia ich taniego syntetyzatora i ostatniego hitu, Bajun Bayous. - - - - 20 - Mike - Mike - W trakcie negocjowania kolejnej podwyżki płac, Mike nagle wycofał się z dyskusji, kiedy poinformowano go, że wielu zleceniodawców narzekało na jego zbyt wygórowaną stawkę. Nie wiadomo, gdzie się obecnie znajduje, właściwie to nic o nim nie wiadomo. Ostatnia korespondencja od niego opatrzona była znaczkiem pochodzącym z małego kraju, którego nazwy nie możemy przytoczyć. - - - - 21 - Hector - Hector Alvarez - Poważnie ranny w Zairze Hector Alvarez został trwale i nieodwracalnie okaleczony. Za pieniądze z ubezpieczenia otworzył, nad oceanem w rodzinnym mieście Margarita (Wenezuala), mały hotelik. Z cenami rozpoczynającymi się od kwoty 49,99 dolarów amerykańskich za dobę. Jego Sniadania, zwane "Jaja na wszystkie sposoby", stały się wielkim hitem pośród niemieckich turystów. - - - - 22 - Speck - Speck T. Kline - Chociaż Speck nigdy nie pasował do stylu życia najemnika, jego talent do naprawiania rzeczy, które według wszystkich były nie do naprawienia, uczynił go jednym z najbardziej poszukiwanych najemników. Być może dlatego jego decyzja - otwarcia konkurencyjnej agencji najemników - spadła na organizację jak grom z jasnego nieba. A.I.M. życzy mu szczęścia, jako, że wszyscy jesteśmy świadomi, że będzie go potrzebować. - - - - 23 - Weasel - Willy "Weasel" Augustin - Maleńki Willy, znany również jako Weasel i Mouthpiece, początkowo zatrudniony był przez pracodawców w charakterze niedrogiej dodatkowej pary uszu, by trzymać rękę na pulsie. I, w chorym poczuciu sprawiedliwości, Augustin wreszcie dostał to, co według odczucia wielu, od dawna mu się kroiło. Jego żona została skazana za zdefraudowanie pieniędzy z opieki społecznej. Wyszła za kaucją i zwiała od niego. - - - - 24 - Leech - Timothy "Leech" Jenkins - Trudno było pozbyć się Leecha, który miał nawyk głaskania pracodawców pod włos. Jego upór i całkowite nieposłuszeństwo nie pozostawiło nam wyboru, musieliśmy mu zawiesić członkostwo. Po pięciu tego rodzaju próbnych okresach, poproszono go o złożenie rezygnacji, a on oczywiście odmówił. Zwolniony z pracy, założył sprawę w sądzie o bezprawne zwolnienie. Sprawa została załatwiona poza sądem za nieujawnioną kwotę pieniędzy. - - - - 25 - Lance - Lance Fisher - Z powodu ciągłych starć osobistych z Victorią Waters, Lance został poproszony o zrezygnowanie z członkostwa w A.I.M. w zamian za posadę w Akademii Wojskowej Westpoint. Propozycję przyjął i obecnie wykłada etykę i taktyki wycofywania się, temat, na który napisał ostatnio książkę. "Strategia bezpiecznego odwrotu" jest dostępna w bibliotekach większości akademii wojskowych. - - - - 26 - Stella - Dr Margaret "Stella" Trammel - Margaret była pierwszą kobietą w szeregach A.I.M. i będzie jej nam brakowało. Poza waleczną postawą na polu walki, doktor Trammel będzie także pamiętana z powodu żmudnych wysiłków, które czyniła, by wymusić na A.I.M. jednakowe wypłaty dla obu płci. Ostatnio otworzyła gabinet domowy na Wyspach Dziewiczych. - - - - 27 - Eli - Doktor Eli Summers - Doktor Summers był popularnym pośród swoich pracodawców dzięki wzorowym kontaktom z klientami i załatwianiu interesów w nienaganny, delikatny sposób. Chociaż A.I.M. żałuje, że postanowił odejść, raczej miło nam jest donieść, że zamienił swoje ulubione hobby w profesjonalne działanie - gra w golfa w klubie dla seniorów. Ostatnio zajął czwarte miejsce na turnieju w Pebble Beach. - - - - 28 - Elroy - Elroy B. Tolken - Odszedł. Nie pytaliśmy. Nie obchodzi nas. A obchodzi kogokolwiek? - - - - 29 - Skitz - Bruce "Skitz" Bonner - Bruce Bonner odszedł! Figurujący jako dodatek na naszej liście wykwalifikowanych ekspertów od materiałów wybuchowych, został bezpowrotnie skreślony. Po zanotowanych ośmiu zawieszeniach podjęto decyzje o jego wykluczeniu z organizacji. Pomimo intensywnej terapii opartej na elektrowstrząsach, Skitz pozostaje zamknięty w szpitalu Świętego Michała dla obłąkanych kryminalistów. - - - - 30 - Wally - Walter "Wally" Yuntz - Ktoś kiedyś powiedział, że gdyby Wally nie miał psiego szczęścia, w ogóle nie miałby żadnego szczęścia. Po tym, jak dowiedzieliśmy się, że rzeczywiście ma problemy ze wzrokiem, wysłaliśmy go na operację korygującą. Po tej operacji jego kiepska zdolność trafiania do celu powinna była pójść w zapomnienie, niestety laser chirurgiczny został błędnie zaprogramowany. Teraz całkowicie niewidomy, wraz z przewodnikiem Chippym, pracuje dla doktora Summersa, jako chłopak do noszenia kijów na turniejach golfowych. - - - - 31 - Turtle - Herman "Turtle" Regents - Być może odejście Turtle'a najlepiej tłumaczy cytat z jego listu o rezygnacji: "Tempo walki stało się dla mnie za szybkie. Byłem zmuszony biec podczas potyczki, a sił starczało mi ledwo bym szedł. Wyczerpałem już wszystkie możliwości i niewiele mi już pozostało, poza tym, że mogę złożyć swoją rezygnację, od zaraz". Ostatnio słyszeliśmy, że Herman pracuje w Chicago jako wyższy rangą strażnik więzienny. - - - - 32 - Kaboom - Marty "Kaboom" Moffat - Jedną z najbardziej szczególnych spraw sądowych, jakie kiedykolwiek wytoczono przeciwko naszej organizacji, to sprawa Marty'ego Moffata. Na skutek ran, jakich doznał podczas rozbrajania bomby, stwierdzono u niego dysfunkcję mózgu. Zgodnie z zapisem Moffata odnośnie jego organów wewnętrznych, przystąpiono do ich zabezpieczenia, jako przyszły materiał do transplantacji. Rodzina Marty'ego kategorycznie się temu sprzeciwiła. Za radą naszych prawników zaprzestaliśmy udziału w tym sporze. - - - - 33 - Rev - Wielebny Clyde Potter - Z powodu wielu sygnałów od ateistycznych członków organizacji, usunięto z A.I.M. kapelana, a prawiący kazania Potter, jako jeden z najmniej użytecznych członków, także został usunięty. Po opuszczeniu A.I.M. wielebny Clyde Potter przyjął posadę w Miejskim Kościele Chrystusowym w Baltimore. Teraz zaprzecza, że kiedykolwiek był związany z A.I.M. Odsyła nawet czeki i nie odbiera telefonów od nas. - - - - 34 - Sparky - Megan "Sparky" Roachburn - Spuścizna Roachburnów, wielkiej rodziny wojny, skończyła się z chwilą, gdy odeszła Megan. Jedyny żeński członek rodziny i ostatni, który opuścił A.I.M.. Sparky zmieniła pracę na taką, jakiej zawsze chciała; uczciwego człowieka robiącego zakupy. Chociaż, jak twierdzi zostawianie dokładnie wyliczonych pieniędzy na ladzie może się trochę nudzić, właśnie to będzie robić. - - - - 35 - Mitch - Dr Mitch Shudlem - Widok krwi na polu walki zawsze przyprawiał go o drobne mdłości. Mitch, idąc za głosem swojego medycznego powołania, w końcu powrócił do krwi na porodówce. Obecnie zatrudniony jest na stanowisku szefa oddziału prorodzinnego szpitala Świętej Marii dla niezamężnych matek. Twierdzi, że powrót do położnictwa jest najlepszą rzeczą, jaka się mu kiedykolwiek przytrafiła i zastanawia się, dlaczego właściwie opuścił kiedyś to miejsce. - - - - 36 - Carp - Howard "Carp" Melfield - Niewykwalifikowany w żadnej dziedzinie, choć bardzo lubiany przez najemników. Zaproponowano mu pracę biurową w A.I.M. Od teraz Howard Melfield będzie odpowiedzialny za BHP, fundusze emerytalne, itp. Chętnie zgodził się też przewodzić komitetowi organizacyjnemu przyjęcia Bożonarodzeniowego. - - - - 37 - It - Carl "It" Goodman - Zatrudniony głównie ze względu na swą końską siłę, Carl od lat zadowalał swoich pracodawców prostą, niegroźną postawą. Goodman wrócił do zawodowych zapasów, gdzie, jak twierdzi, każdy ruch jest istotny, a ryzyko prawdziwe. Przyjaciele i fani mogą złapać go w sobotnie wieczory na turniejach Wrestlingu - bierze w nich czynny udział jako Zamaskowany Najemnik. - - - - 38 - Hamous - Hamous - Hamous pierwszy kontakt z walką miał w Metavira. Opierając się na pochlebnych opiniach głównego klienta, Jacka Richards, podpisano z nim kontrakt, który ostatnio wygasł. Na nieszczęście, biedny Hamous nigdy nie zdołał zaoszczędzić wystarczającej ilości pieniędzy, by kupić sobie mini-vana, którego desperacko pragnął. Ukradł więc sobie taki wózek zaraz niedaleko Paryża. Właściwie był to śliczny samochodzik z lodami. Ostatnio widziano go na drodze do Istambułu. - - - - 39 - Mouse - Anita "Mouse" Backman - Kariera Anity w organizacji była krótka i raczej cicha. Znana jest ze swej niesamowitej zdolności poruszania się niezauważenie, no i właściwie tylko z tego. Mouse złożyła rezygnację w tym samym czasie, co doktor Margaret "Stella" Trammel. Według nas razem przeniosły się na Wyspy Dziewicze, gdzie Backman pracuje jako pielęgniarka i recepcjonistka w nowo otwartym gabinecie Trammel. - - - - 40 - Postie - Jack "Postie" Durham - Postie dla odmiany jest jednym z niewielu tych najemników, w przypadku których A.I.M. żałuje, że przyjęła ich w swe szeregi. Związki mając powód do zaskarżenia usług pocztowych, ostatecznie poddały sprawę arbitrażowi, a Postie wrócił do pracy z wypłaconą pełną pensją. Przeznaczono go do działu obsługi klienta, który zanotował znaczący spadek ilości reklamacji, odkąd Jack objął to stanowisko. - - - - 41 - Leon - Płk Leon Roachburn - Płk Leon Roachburn, człowiek, który nigdy nie zostałby ojcem roku. Był odpowiedzialnym żołnierzem i mentorem dla wielu. Odszedł w ostatnią Wigilię Bożego Narodzenia, kiedy przyczepa, w której mieszkał, została pochłonięta przez płomienie w nagłym pożarze. Co godne uwagi, zostawił majątek wartości przekraczającej miliom dolarów. Mniej godnym uwagi jest fakt, że nie zapisał nic swoim dzieciom. Jedyną obdarowaną okazała się być Pamela Sue Anderson. - - - - 42 - Dyno - Roger "Dyno" Wittman - Roger próbował. Naprawdę. Ale najwyraxniej czegoś mu brakowało. Niektórzy faceci lubili mieć go przy sobie, by się pośmiać, inni dawali mu broń do czyszczenia. W końcu zdał sobie sprawę, że nie jest stworzony do tego zawodu. Z tego co ostatnio słyszeliśmy, Dyno pracuje jako dubler Zielonego Hipcia w przedstawieniu "Zwierzaki na Lodzie". - + + + + + 0 + Smoke + Smoke Peterson + Throughout his many years of shaky service with A.I.M., Smoke Peterson was repeatedly cited for short-fusing explosives - a juvenile attempt at cheap laughs. To the delight of a number of members, the final laugh was on him. Distracted by an elusive pebble in his combat boot, Peterson bid this world goodbye with a loud bang, a puff of smoke, and one far-reaching unidentifiable mess. + + + + 1 + Doc + Doc Koolhan + Doc Koolhan resigned from A.I.M. to focus his energies on his medical practice. He had been running a free clinic as a sideline in Tripoli for years. However, six months after working there full-time, he closed up his office and joined Doctors Without Frontiers. At present, he is believed to be serving with the organization in Tunisia. + + + + 2 + Wink + Wink Dickerson + Known primarily for his strong throwing arm, yet poor accuracy, Wink Dinkerson finally received the call he had been waiting for all of his life. Severe budget cuts left the Montreal Expos searching for pitching talent, or the lack of it, just about anywhere. After accepting a contract for 140 Canadian dollars a week, Wink has earned a position as the fifth pitcher in the starting rotation of their farm club. + + + + 3 + Larry + Larry Roachburn + After eight attempts at rehab without any sustained success, A.I.M. was left with little choice but to terminate Larry Roachburn's membership within the organization. From what we understand, the death of Larry's father persuaded him to make yet another attempt at ridding himself of his demons and cleansing his body from decades of toxicity. The organization wishes him the best of luck in all his future endeavors. + + + + 4 + Ears + Edward "Ears" Stockwell + Ears Stockwell handed in his resignation almost eighteen months ago. Since that time, we have heard nothing from him and therefore have no news to report. Though, to be honest, we haven't exactly gone out of our way to make contact with him either. + + + + 5 + Moses + Murray "Moses" Ebstern + Opting to take part in A.I.M.'s early retirement package offered to all mercenaries over fifty, Moses decided it was time to move on and into a new line of work. Investing his severance, Ebstern opened a restaurant on the main. After just two short years in business, Murray's has established a reputation for serving the best smoked meat in New Delhi. + + + + 6 + Bernie + Doctor Bernie Gloveless + Bernie's history with A.I.M. can probably be, at best, described as checkered. After refusing to give up his position as the organization's physician and considering the abundance of complaints from fellow members, A.I.M. felt obliged to give Dr. Bernie Gloveless a dishonorable discharge. He's currently employed with an international insurance company, so you might want to remember his name the next time your company sends you for your annual physical. + + + + 7 + Pops + Pops McGillicutty + After years of trying to convince Pops McGillicutty to retire, A.I.M. was finally forced to institute a mandatory retirement policy for those reaching the age of 85. Wanting to do his part to eliminate river burials, Pops opened a web-based Funeral Salon specializing in the respectful interment of mercenaries. + + + + 8 + Tex + Tex R. Colburn + One of our more colorful warriors, Tex Colburn, handed in his six-shooters to fulfill his dream of starring on the big screen. As a rising star in Japanese westerns, he played the lead in "Much Dust, Many Bullets," and has received glowing reviews for his roles in the classic films "Attack of the Clydesdales" and "Have Honda, will Travel." + + + + 9 + Hurl + Hurl E. Cutter + Hurl, a profitable patient for doctors everywhere, has been missing for the past nine months. A careful search of hospital records and unidentified bodies in the Havana area, his last known whereabouts, has failed to provide any insight. Fidel Dahan has been repeatedly questioned concerning his disappearance, yet police are no further ahead in their investigation. + + + + 10 + Biff + Biff Apscott + Biff Apscott was a truly unique man among mercenary men. He will be greatly missed for his youthful enthusiasm and the way he reminded everyone of just how brave they were. Although somewhat hard to believe, we have been made aware that he has opened up his own mercenary organization in a somewhat pitiful attempt to compete with A.I.M. It's probably not necessary to elaborate on just how worried we are. + + + + 11 + Raffi + Dr. Raffitto "Raffi" Leevon + Doctor Leevon, whose medical degree was always the subject of much debate, left this organization at the beginning of the year without notification. Apparently, he has changed his name and embarked on a new career. Doctor Raffiman, and his Cajun-funk band, Rotis & Haggis, have captured the imagination of the music world with the distinctive sound of their synthesized spoons and their current hit, Bajun Bayous. + + + + 12 + Mike + Mike + While undergoing negotiations for yet another pay increase, Mike suddenly withdrew from the discussions when he was informed that many employers had already complained about his exaggerated rates. His current whereabouts are unknown, just like pretty much everything else about him. The last correspondence received by this office, postmarked in a small country whose name escapes us, contained threats we'd rather not recall. + + + + 13 + Hector + Hector Alvarez + Seriously wounded in Zaire, Hector Alvarez was placed on permanent medical disability. Using his insurance money, he opened an oceanside bed and breakfast in his hometown of Margarita, Venezuela. With prices starting at $49.99 U.S. per day, his 'Cool Hand Luke - All the Eggs you can Consume' breakfasts have become a huge hit with the German tourists. + + + + 14 + Speck + Speck T. Kline + While Speck never quite fit in with the mercenary lifestyle, his knack for repairing what was widely believed to be unrepairable made him one of our most sought-after members. That is, perhaps, why his decision to open a competing mercenary agency came as such a surprise to this organization. A.I.M. wishes him the best of luck, as we are all well aware, he will need it. + + + + 15 + Weasel + Willy "Weasel" Augustin + Wee Willy, otherwise known as Weasel and Mouthpiece, was primarily engaged by his employers as an inexpensive set of ears to keep tabs on his teammates. And, in a sick sense of justice, Augustin finally received what many felt he had coming. After blowing the whistle on his wife for welfare fraud, she returned to the family home after making bail and blew him away. + + + + 16 + Lance + Lance Fisher + Due to persistent personality clashes with Victoria Waters, Lance was asked to resign from A.I.M. in exchange for a posting at Westpoint Military Academy. He accepted, and is currently an instructor of ethics and tactical withdrawal, a subject which he recently published a book on. "Beating a Path to Safety without Screaming," is available at most military college bookstores. + + + + 17 + Stella + Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel + Margaret was the first female to join the ranks of A.I.M., and will be fondly missed. Besides her hard-fought battles on the combat field, Dr. Trammel will also be remembered for her uphill struggle with the A.I.M. Fraternal Benefits Association to gain spousal benefits for same sex partners. She recently opened a small family practice in the Virgin Islands. + + + + 18 + Eli + Doctor Eli Summers + Doctor Summers was by all accounts a gamer who made himself popular with employers by accepting assignments with newcomers and going about his business in a non-intrusive manner. Although A.I.M. regrets his decision to leave the organization, we are rather pleased to report that the good doctor has turned his favorite hobby into a profession. Currently playing on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour, Eli finished a respectable fourth in the Depends Open at Pebble Beach. + + + + 19 + Elroy + Elroy B. Tolken + He's gone. We didn't ask. We don't care. Does anybody? + + + + 20 + Skitz + Bruce "Skitz" Bonner + Bruce Bonner is gone - way gone! The addition of qualified explosive experts to our roster made a long-overdue decision much easier to make. After a record setting eight probationary periods, Skitz was finally expelled from the organization. Despite intensive therapy and twenty-one electroshock treatments, Skitz remains confined in Saint Michael's Hospital for the Criminally Insane. + + + + 21 + Wally + Walter "Wally" Yuntz + Someone once said that if Wally didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all. After learning that he did indeed have problems with his vision, Wally was scheduled for corrective surgery. The operation should have put his poor marksmanship behind him forever but the laser Yuntz was placed under experienced a programming error. Now totally blind, he and his lead Chippy, serve as Dr. Eli Summers' caddies on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour. + + + + 22 + Turtle + Herman "Turtle" Regents + Perhaps, Turtle's departure is best explained by an excerpt from his letter of resignation: "The pace of combat has become too much for me. I have been forced to run the beat rather than walk it. I have exhausted all avenues and find myself short of alternatives, other than to cough up my resignation effective immediately." Last we heard, Herman was working in Chicago as a probation officer. + + + + 23 + Rev + Reverend Clyde Potter + Due to numerous complaints from the organization's atheist members, the combat chaplain position was eliminated from A.I.M., and the preachy Potter, as one of our least utilized members, was eliminated as well. After leaving A.I.M., Reverend Clyde Potter took a position with the Innercity Church of Christ in Baltimore. He currently denies ever having been associated with A.I.M. He returns his pension checks and refuses to take our calls. + + + + 24 + Mitch + Dr. Mitch Shudlem + Never truly comfortable with the blood and gore of combat, Doctor Shudlem, after a great deal of soul searching, returned to the blood and gore of the delivery room. He is currently employed as the chief of the pre-natal care unit of Saint Mary's Hospital for Unwed Mothers. He says returning to his obstetric roots is the best thing that ever happened to him, and he wonders why he ever left in the first place. + + + + 25 + Carp + Howard "Carp" Melfield + Unable to excel in any given specialty, yet well-liked within the organization, Carp was offered a desk assignment with A.I.M. Effective immediately, Howard Melfield will be responsible for members' Health and Safety, Retirement, and Dental Plans. He has also graciously agreed to chair the office Christmas Party Committee. + + + + 26 + It + Carl "It" Goodman + Hired mainly for his brute force, Carl excelled with a crowbar and pleased employers for years with his simple, non-threatening attitude. After leaving A.I.M., Goodman returned to the world of professional wrestling where he claims every move is for keeps and the risk is real. Friends and fans alike can catch him as the Masked Mercenary most Saturday nights on Pay-Per-View's Wrestling Extravaganza. + + + + 27 + Hamous + Hamous + Hamous had his first taste of combat in Metavira, and based on a glowing recommendation from a major client, Jack Richards, he was granted an internship with this organization, which recently expired. Regrettably, poor Hamous never did manage to save up enough money to purchase that mini-van he desperately wanted. So he did the next best thing and stole one just outside of Paris. Actually, it was an ice cream truck and he was last seen headed towards Istanbul in it. + + + + 28 + Mouse + Anita "Mouse" Backman + Anita's stint with the organization was short and rather quiet. Known for her uncanny ability to move about unnoticed, and not much else, Mouse handed in her resignation at the same time as Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel. It is our understanding that they moved to the Virgin Islands together where Backman serves as nurse/receptionist at Trammel's newly opened medical clinic. + + + + 29 + Dyno + Roger "Dyno" Wittman + Roger tried. Boy did he try. But he just seemed to lack the necessary edge. Understandably, some of the guys liked having him along for the laughs while others enjoyed cleaning their rifles with him. But ultimately, he realized he just wasn't cut out for the profession. Last we heard, Dyno was serving as the understudy to the Green Hippo in Animals on Ice. + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml b/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml index 5eac21b64..86f6bf638 100644 --- a/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml +++ b/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data-1.13/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml @@ -397,7 +397,7 @@ 79 - Джозеф ПапануÀ + Джозеф Папанус Джоу @@ -1102,38 +1102,38 @@ 220 - - + Jack "Postie" Durham + Postie 221 - - + Unusually Ruthless Reuban + Reuban 222 - - + Col.

He's currently employed with an international insurance company, so you might want to remember his name the next time your company sends you for your annual physical. - - - 16 - Reuban - "Unusually Ruthless" Reuban - After years of eluding capture, Reuban was finally arrested and deported to Romania. He is currently serving six concurrent life sentences for the massacre of his wife and family. Although Reuban will never be able to enjoy life as a free man, he seems to be adjusting well to his new found surroundings. His prison duties include landscaping the grounds and some of his shrub sculptures have won the penitentiary numerous "Good Prisonkeeping" awards. - - 17 + 7 Pops Pops McGillicutty After years of trying to convince Pops McGillicutty to retire, A.I.M. was finally forced to institute a mandatory retirement policy for those reaching the age of 85. Wanting to do his part to eliminate river burials, Pops opened a web-based Funeral Salon specializing in the respectful interment of mercenaries. - - - 18 - Kelly - Col. Leo Kelly - Often referred to as the mercenary's mercenary, Col. Leo Kelly dropped out of sight shortly after the war in Croatia hit the fan. Some of our members do claim to have seen him leading a commando unit through the jungles of Napir though, and he did receive on-screen credit for technical combat consultation in Steven Segal's latest flick. However, no official news of his whereabouts have reached our offices. - - 19 + 8 Tex Tex R. Colburn One of our more colorful warriors, Tex Colburn, handed in his six-shooters to fulfill his dream of starring on the big screen. As a rising star in Japanese westerns, he played the lead in "Much Dust, Many Bullets," and has received glowing reviews for his roles in the classic films "Attack of the Clydesdales" and "Have Honda, will Travel." - 20 + 9 Hurl Hurl E. Cutter Hurl, a profitable patient for doctors everywhere, has been missing for the past nine months. A careful search of hospital records and unidentified bodies in the Havana area, his last known whereabouts, has failed to provide any insight. Fidel Dahan has been repeatedly questioned concerning his disappearance, yet police are no further ahead in their investigation. - 21 + 10 Biff Biff Apscott Biff Apscott was a truly unique man among mercenary men. He will be greatly missed for his youthful enthusiasm and the way he reminded everyone of just how brave they were. Although somewhat hard to believe, we have been made aware that he has opened up his own mercenary organization in a somewhat pitiful attempt to compete with A.I.M. It's probably not necessary to elaborate on just how worried we are. - - - 22 - Spike - Major Spike Scallion - The departure of Spike Scallion from A.I.M. was a major loss to the organization. His demeanor and unwavering command of any situation always served as a comfort to those who found themselves neck deep in it alongside him. Major Scallion was offered a lucrative long-term contract serving as a military consultant for the North Koreans and no amount of negotiation could convince him to stay. - - 23 + 11 Raffi Dr. Raffitto "Raffi" Leevon Doctor Leevon, whose medical degree was always the subject of much debate, left this organization at the beginning of the year without notification. Apparently, he has changed his name and embarked on a new career. Doctor Raffiman, and his Cajun-funk band, Rotis & Haggis, have captured the imagination of the music world with the distinctive sound of their synthesized spoons and their current hit, Bajun Bayous. - 24 + 12 Mike Mike While undergoing negotiations for yet another pay increase, Mike suddenly withdrew from the discussions when he was informed that many employers had already complained about his exaggerated rates. His current whereabouts are unknown, just like pretty much everything else about him. The last correspondence received by this office, postmarked in a small country whose name escapes us, contained threats we'd rather not recall. - 25 + 13 Hector Hector Alvarez Seriously wounded in Zaire, Hector Alvarez was placed on permanent medical disability. Using his insurance money, he opened an oceanside bed and breakfast in his hometown of Margarita, Venezuela. With prices starting at $49.99 U.S. per day, his 'Cool Hand Luke - All the Eggs you can Consume' breakfasts have become a huge hit with the German tourists. - - - 26 - Snake - Johnny "Snake" Edwards - Old Mister Reliable is what they called him. Getting in and out without anyone knowing he was there was what he did best. Regrettably, all that is written on his tombstone in Maupaa is "Casualty of War." Snake died a victim of unnecessary diplomacy in an event which lead to the court martial of Alan "Spam" Webster. While Webster negotiated the peaceful surrender of their weapons with a group of natives, Snake took a bullet from one of them, right between the eyes. - - 27 + 14 Speck Speck T. Kline While Speck never quite fit in with the mercenary lifestyle, his knack for repairing what was widely believed to be unrepairable made him one of our most sought-after members. That is, perhaps, why his decision to open a competing mercenary agency came as such a surprise to this organization. A.I.M. wishes him the best of luck, as we are all well aware, he will need it. - 28 + 15 Weasel Willy "Weasel" Augustin Wee Willy, otherwise known as Weasel and Mouthpiece, was primarily engaged by his employers as an inexpensive set of ears to keep tabs on his teammates. And, in a sick sense of justice, Augustin finally received what many felt he had coming. After blowing the whistle on his wife for welfare fraud, she returned to the family home after making bail and blew him away. - - - 29 - Leech - Timothy "Leech" Jenkins - It wasn't easy getting rid of Leech. His stubborn streak and outright disobedience left us no alternative but to place him on probation. After five such probationary periods, he was asked to tender his resignation, and naturally, he refused. Once terminated, Leech filed a wrongful dismissal suit, which we recently settled out of for an undisclosed amount of money. To this day, he continues to flood this office with employment applications. - - 30 + 16 Lance Lance Fisher Due to persistent personality clashes with Victoria Waters, Lance was asked to resign from A.I.M. in exchange for a posting at Westpoint Military Academy. He accepted, and is currently an instructor of ethics and tactical withdrawal, a subject which he recently published a book on. "Beating a Path to Safety without Screaming," is available at most military college bookstores. - 31 + 17 Stella Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel Margaret was the first female to join the ranks of A.I.M., and will be fondly missed. Besides her hard-fought battles on the combat field, Dr. Trammel will also be remembered for her uphill struggle with the A.I.M. Fraternal Benefits Association to gain spousal benefits for same sex partners. She recently opened a small family practice in the Virgin Islands. - 32 + 18 Eli Doctor Eli Summers Doctor Summers was by all accounts a gamer who made himself popular with employers by accepting assignments with newcomers and going about his business in a non-intrusive manner. Although A.I.M. regrets his decision to leave the organization, we are rather pleased to report that the good doctor has turned his favorite hobby into a profession. Currently playing on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour, Eli finished a respectable fourth in the Depends Open at Pebble Beach. - 33 + 19 Elroy Elroy B. Tolken He's gone. We didn't ask. We don't care. Does anybody? - 34 + 20 Skitz Bruce "Skitz" Bonner Bruce Bonner is gone - way gone! The addition of qualified explosive experts to our roster made a long-overdue decision much easier to make. After a record setting eight probationary periods, Skitz was finally expelled from the organization. Despite intensive therapy and twenty-one electroshock treatments, Skitz remains confined in Saint Michael's Hospital for the Criminally Insane. - 35 + 21 Wally Walter "Wally" Yuntz Someone once said that if Wally didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all. After learning that he did indeed have problems with his vision, Wally was scheduled for corrective surgery. The operation should have put his poor marksmanship behind him forever but the laser Yuntz was placed under experienced a programming error. Now totally blind, he and his lead Chippy, serve as Dr. Eli Summers' caddies on the Seniors Pro Golf Tour. - 36 + 22 Turtle Herman "Turtle" Regents Perhaps, Turtle's departure is best explained by an excerpt from his letter of resignation: "The pace of combat has become too much for me. I have been forced to run the beat rather than walk it. I have exhausted all avenues and find myself short of alternatives, other than to cough up my resignation effective immediately." Last we heard, Herman was working in Chicago as a probation officer. - - - 37 - Kaboom - Marty "Kaboom" Moffat - In one of the most peculiar cases of litigation to ever be launched against this organization, the estate of Marty Moffat has filed a wrongful death action. Kaboom, allegedly brain dead due to injuries sustained while defusing an explosive device, had his organs harvested as per his legally signed donor card. His family contends, however, that Marty was not dead at the time and was simply experiencing a slow morning. Our legal department has advised us not to elaborate any further. - - 38 + 23 Rev Reverend Clyde Potter Due to numerous complaints from the organization's atheist members, the combat chaplain position was eliminated from A.I.M., and the preachy Potter, as one of our least utilized members, was eliminated as well. After leaving A.I.M., Reverend Clyde Potter took a position with the Innercity Church of Christ in Baltimore. He currently denies ever having been associated with A.I.M. He returns his pension checks and refuses to take our calls. - - - 39 - Sparky - Megan "Sparky" Roachburn - Once the great family of warfare, the Roachburn legacy came to an end with the resignation of Megan. The only female family member and the last to leave A.I.M., Sparky moved on to the job she always wanted, an honesty shopper for K-Mart. Although she says the job of leaving exact change on the counter to see if the cashier rings in the sale can get a little boring, she'll take working at the mall over the battlefield any day. - - 40 + 24 Mitch Dr. Mitch Shudlem Never truly comfortable with the blood and gore of combat, Doctor Shudlem, after a great deal of soul searching, returned to the blood and gore of the delivery room. He is currently employed as the chief of the pre-natal care unit of Saint Mary's Hospital for Unwed Mothers. He says returning to his obstetric roots is the best thing that ever happened to him, and he wonders why he ever left in the first place. - 41 + 25 Carp Howard "Carp" Melfield Unable to excel in any given specialty, yet well-liked within the organization, Carp was offered a desk assignment with A.I.M. Effective immediately, Howard Melfield will be responsible for members' Health and Safety, Retirement, and Dental Plans. He has also graciously agreed to chair the office Christmas Party Committee. - 42 + 26 It Carl "It" Goodman Hired mainly for his brute force, Carl excelled with a crowbar and pleased employers for years with his simple, non-threatening attitude. After leaving A.I.M., Goodman returned to the world of professional wrestling where he claims every move is for keeps and the risk is real. Friends and fans alike can catch him as the Masked Mercenary most Saturday nights on Pay-Per-View's Wrestling Extravaganza. - - - 43 - Vinny - Vincenzo "Vinny" Massimo - While Vinny's years of service with A.I.M. have been impeccable and without so much as the slightest blemish in his personnel file, his personal life has been an entirely different matter. This wise-cracking wiseguy has been suspended from A.I.M. since his federal indictment for racketeering and tax evasion. With numerous counts against him, including rigging slot machines, injecting race horses with Demerol and supplying prostitutes to an Olympic water polo team, we don't expect him to return. - - - - 44 - Bob - Captain Bob Adams - Despite making ground as a combat soldier, decorated Air Force Pilot Bob Adams never quite shook his passion for flying. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Captain Adams retired from the organization, almost a year ago, to take a position with a major American airline. Tragically, while flying on a regional, short-hopper route, wind shear caused him to lose control of his aircraft. He crashed and died just outside of Phoenix this past July. - - 45 + 27 Hamous Hamous Hamous had his first taste of combat in Metavira, and based on a glowing recommendation from a major client, Jack Richards, he was granted an internship with this organization, which recently expired. Regrettably, poor Hamous never did manage to save up enough money to purchase that mini-van he desperately wanted. So he did the next best thing and stole one just outside of Paris. Actually, it was an ice cream truck and he was last seen headed towards Istanbul in it. - 46 + 28 Mouse Anita "Mouse" Backman Anita's stint with the organization was short and rather quiet. Known for her uncanny ability to move about unnoticed, and not much else, Mouse handed in her resignation at the same time as Dr. Margaret "Stella" Trammel. It is our understanding that they moved to the Virgin Islands together where Backman serves as nurse/receptionist at Trammel's newly opened medical clinic. - - - 47 - Postie - Jack "Postie" Durham - Postie has the distinction of being one of the few mercenaries A.I.M. regrets ever accepting into its membership. With that said, the union's grievance against the postal service finally made it to arbitration, and Postie has been returned to active duty with full back pay. He has been assigned to the customer service department, which has reported a dramatic drop in the number of complaints filed since he came onboard. - - - - 48 - Leon - Col. Leon Roachburn - Col. Leon Roachburn, a man who would have never made father of the year, was a responsible soldier and mentor to many. He passed away this past Christmas eve when his house trailer was engulfed by flames in a sudden grease fire. Remarkably, he left an estate valued at over a million dollars. Not so remarkably, his children were bequeathed nothing. Instead, Pamela Sue Anderson was named the sole beneficiary. - - 49 + 29 Dyno Roger "Dyno" Wittman Roger tried. Boy did he try. But he just seemed to lack the necessary edge. Understandably, some of the guys liked having him along for the laughs while others enjoyed cleaning their rifles with him. But ultimately, he realized he just wasn't cut out for the profession. Last we heard, Dyno was serving as the understudy to the Green Hippo in Animals on Ice. - - - 50 - Spam - Alan "Spam" Webster - Alan Webster's time within the organization was short and hardly memorable. His years of peacekeeping duty seemed to have hampered his aggression and in turn, jeopardized the safety of his squad. Following the incident in Maupaa which lead to the death of Johnny "Snake" Edwards, A.I.M. could no longer ignore his inability to take armed men seriously. Spam was court-martialed and received a dishonorable discharge in March 1998. - \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml b/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml index 5d571bd20..b1f65a8a9 100644 --- a/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml +++ b/gamedir-languages/Russian_Version/Data/TableData/Russian.MercProfiles.xml @@ -397,7 +397,7 @@ 79 - Джозеф ПапануÀ + Джозеф Папанус Джоу
