=======================================


=============
INTRODUCTION:
=============

A.I.M. regrets to announce the departure of two valued members from our organization. Effective immediately, the following two individuals have retired into Alumni status:

- Wink E. Dickerson - Known primarily for his strong throwing arm, yet poor accuracy, Wink Dinkerson finally received the call he has been waiting for all his life. Severe budget cuts left the Montreal Expos searching for pitching talent, or lack of it, just about anywhere. After accepting a contract for 140 Canadian dollars a week, Wink earned a position as the fifth pitcher in the starting rotation of their farm club.

- Lance Fisher - Due to persistant 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 he recently published a book on. "Beating a path to safety without screaming." is available at most military college bookstores.

Although we are always saddened to see individuals leave the organization, we are proud to report that both openings have been filled by seasoned professionals. After rather heated negotiations, A.I.M. is pleased to announce that the legendary heavy weapons specialist, Gus Tarballs, is now a member of our ranks. Gus's induction was delayed slightly when his mobile home slipped from its support blocks while he was in the process of cleaning the septic hosing. Fortunately, his crushed right leg has healed rather nicely and our medical staff has cleared Tarballs for full active duty. Additionally, we have taken in, or perhaps were taken by, none other than Micky "Merchant of Death" O'Brien. We find that this partnership is mutually beneficial: fulfilling A.I.M.'s commitment to talent with in-the-field experience and O'Brien's commitment to cold hard cash.


=============
WHAT's NEW:
=============

- 2 new mercenaries available for hire in A.I.M.: Micky O'Brien and Gus Tarballs
- New mercenaries feature brand new bios and profile traits
- Updated A.I.M. and in-mission character graphics for both mercs
- Over 150 lines of updated character dialog (faithfully sliced and diced from existing in game audio)
- In-game subtitles updated for all new dialog

(All other content and behavior remains true to the original JA:DG release)
