Anyone else kinda feeling a poll for this topic? I really wanna count the numbers and see how the balance is tipped.
Let's be honest, if anyone can afford the mercenaries, it would be Security. Still, I think Sec/Resi/Merc/Undecided would work.
Mercenaries aren't always just looking for goods from one side, and it depends on what said payment consists of and also said mercenary's views are.
And if the Resistance didn't know said mercenary worked for Security, they would hire him in a second if they really needed it.
In my experience, somebody like that wouldn't hire somebody for an objective they could complete themselves.
