[When the video transmission starts, there’s a rather neat and tidy man in a suit, seated in one of the passenger quarters.]

I’ll give it to this place, this has to be one of the oddest awakenings I’ve had. Still doesn’t beat Nepal though…

[The last part is muttered, almost to himself, before he turned back to the camera, all business.]

Not to ask the same question twice, but I’d like to go home as much as the next person, so perhaps I’ll save on some of the legwork and reach out. How can I help make sure this ship reaches its destination in one piece? I do have military training and my information gathering skills can be useful.

[There’s a small pause, and then he smiles, a small almost innocent look.]

Also I’m rather decent at poker, if that will help us any. So, who’s recruiting?

Comments

About two jumps.

[Long enough to form a decent opinion about the department, and since he seems to be one of the most forthcoming, Eames' take it.]

So run me through it. What's a typical day like for the department and what sort of duties do you perform?

[priceoffreedom]

We patrol some, respond to queries and concerns, occasionally handle active issues that involve going into the ship.

The benefit is that every day is different.

[embellishing]

I appreciate that you've been patient with the exhaustive list of questions I've had. I'm sure it gets dull having to repeat the same answers over over.

And pardon my manners, I'm Eames. If things work out, perhaps we'll be working together.

[priceoffreedom]

Steve Rogers.

I don't mind. I'd rather you know what you're getting into.

[embellishing]

It's a pleasure.

[He will sigh briefly, before schooling himself into a more serious expression.]

Any other words of wisdom or warnings before I take a closer look into security? Just out of curiosity.

[priceoffreedom]

I don't know. How do you feel about fair fights?

[embellishing]

[That'll get a pause out of him.]

If security is only going to be fair fights and following rules, I might not be your man. I'm more interested in surviving.

[With that said, his posture will loosen and he shrugged.]

But I can play fair if necessary.

[priceoffreedom]

It's not what I mean.

[And a pause.]

Sometimes what this ship throws us isn't considered fair by any measure.

[embellishing]

[His mistake then. He'll chuckle, shrugging his shoulders.]

I gathered as much. That would be nothing new.

[priceoffreedom]

Then it might be the place for you.

[embellishing]

Just out of curiosity, does this department have a rather high mortality rate?

[Because mentions of unfair fights, active ship phenomenon, and the eagerness of the people recruiting have him wondering.]

[priceoffreedom]

Not any higher than any other.

[No, seriously.]

[embellishing]

[That is surprising. Still, he supposes on a ship that's out to terrorize people, it's not going to target just one department.

He'll clap his hands together, grinning.]

Right. So, what's the best way to contact Tyke in case I decide to join?

[priceoffreedom]

The Network.

[embellishing]

Right. Thanks for your time.
