One of the places I get my ideas from or that triggers a spark that leads to an idea is pictures, such as the one below. They may not have anything to do with what I’m working on at the moment but I always save them, cause you never know when they may come in hand.
So let’s take the picture below. We have a female soldier in a foreign country (i.e. not America.)
So we could say that’s Carol or Bobbi and assume Red Diamond is operating overseas. But that’s not really their MO (from what’s been revealed)
So if it’s not RD who could it be/ how is this helpful.
Answer. A different merc team. One who also uses female mercs. In this case The Racines.
The Racines are a French merc team run by Isabella Racine and her husband Pedar. Isabella has a reputation for being a first class bitch who doesn’t think highly of men and tends to favor female operatives. She usually puts women in squad command roles.
Since The Racines are a big merc team, able to field a Company worth of men they tend to do a lot of work for firms that have vested interest in Third World countries.
Company = 2 or more Platoons/100 to 250 men
Platoons = 2 or more Squads /16 to 50 men
Squads = 8 to 24 men
So now the question is, is this lady leading men out on patrol in this picture or is she out there by herself. If she’s out there by herself then she’s probably done something to piss Isabella off. What did she do? And where are they? And why?
And that is how a lot of my brainstorming goes. Hopefully you guys found this interesting. I’m sure it’ll end up in a future story.
