Mission: Session 5: Rush
Location: Bounty round up studios

"Looks like your over the top bounty has worked, we've gotten over 2000 hits on your segment alone, I imagine one of them should be able to seal the deal, and the show isn't even over yet." A man in a cleanly pressed suit looked over a control panel. A clean plate glass window separated them from a large studio. On the floor of the studio several cameras were pointed to two people wearing cowboy hats and running around the stage.

"That's good, but not good enough." A voice echoed from the back of the control room, all that could be seen was the glowing cherry from a cigarette and a dark outline, holding a cup of coffee and watching as the female cowboy was talking about some two bit criminal with a thousand bar bounty.

"Just give it a bit of time." The station manager looked at the incoming info bits. "You are getting your people, we are making money and ratings are sky high!"

"Throw in the kicker... put another ten million on their heads if they are captured within the next two weeks. I can be patient but I want them, and I want them now."

"Yes sir." The station manager hit a button on the console and a manager on the floor of the station turned towards the booth and pointed to the headset he was wearing. "Tell the hosts there is a ten million kicker if they are captured in the next two weeks."

The floor manager nodded, scribbled something on a paper note and handed it to one of the hosts on the floor, who's eyes somehow managed to get even bigger.

The man sitting in the back of the control, and took a sip his coffee.



Desperado Bounty Hunt


The cowboy host took a look at the note and his eyes became huge.

"Well hold on hombres!" The cowboy moved over to the middle of the set and the camera followed.

"Looks like the bounty on the Warden is heating up!" A large fake sun fell down behind the cowboy, it had sunglasses and looked like it was sweating.

"The poster of the bounty has offered a further ten million bars of gold pressed latinum if they vagrants are captured in the next two standard weeks!!" The cowboy smiled and held up the paper.

"Remember cowboys! If you need information contact us on the interquadrant net for all kinds of juicy information!" The female cowboy smiled and bit down on a piece of steak.


Control Room


"You got your wish, contacts to the info line just jumped a thousand percent!! at 50 strips a pop this is great!" The manager smiled and turned to the man.

"Everything is going according to plan." The man took a sip of his coffee and leaned back, pleased with how things were going.
