	Msg11_2 <A certain bandit is needed for questioning by the guardians. In order to make him surrender, you'll have to take out his gang. Pay is $ \VAL V4 if the bandit can be captured with his mecha intact.>
	Msg11_3 <The guardians are looking for a certain bandit. There's a good indication that he'll surrender if he can be confronted alone, so your job is to disable the rest of his gang. This job pays $ \VAL V4 .>
	Msg11_4 <There's a bandit who's wanted for questioning in relation to a robbery. The guardians want him taken alive, so your job is to force him to surrender. It should be easy enough if you disable the rest of his gang. Pay for this job is $ \VAL V4 .>

	Msg32 <Actually, I'm looking for a mecha pilot right now. You wouldn't happen to be one would you?>
	Msg33 <I do have a contract available, but it's for a mecha pilot rather than a hunter. Are you interested in that kind of work?>
	Msg34 <They've sent me a contract, but it's for a mecha pilot instead of a regular hunter. If you're interested I can give you the details.>
