History[edit]
One of his most known interviews happened on 10 August 3062, Jarman Bauer was the lead guest on that night's episode of MechTalk, reliving his upset defeat of William Paulson with Todd Richards and discussing his chances in the Grand Tournament. Bauer's performance however was derided by the show's other guest and the warrior he was due to face on Day One of the tournament, Blackstar Stables warrior Stormin' Michael Searcy, who mocked Bauer's skills and tactics as simplistic, to the point of suggesting that Paulson even if drunk could only have lost if he actively threw the fight for Bauer. When Bauer attempted to respond, Searcy revealed the now shocked Lyran's failure to graduate from the Outreach Mercenary Training Command to the public, the House Davion fighter derisively calling him Farmer - an insulting play-on words as Bauer was the German word for Farmer as well as the Solaris VII Slang term meaning a warrior piloting a 'Mech unworthy of the arenas. Though Todd Richard attempted to bring the conflict back on script as both warrior's bodyguards restrained them, Searcy slipped his bodyguard's grip and laid out Bauer with a single punch to the jaw before the Blackstar warrior was rushed out the studio.[1]
When Ervin Rebelke opted to retire from the Solaris Games, he became a sports commentator on the holovid show MechTalk, replacing Todd Richards.[2]
