The black furred squirrel man look up for a moment, and then back to his monitor.
"Oh, another one. You'll be seeing Mr Weatherby, but he's busy at the moment."
He twitched an ear.
"Tell you what; you could get basic weapon proficiency certification out of the way before your interview. Save you wasting everyone's time if you can't pass. Its either that or sit around here for an hour."

"Not a lot of call for snipers starside, but it’s a start. We've had to really go back to basics with some of the current crop of recruits."
He strokes his chin.
"Of course 'standard' models vary quite a lot form place to place. Do you mean UAC style maser, or projectile or what?"

"UAC style maser, the Toad's sniper rifle takes time to charge and its very unconfortable, but i can handle a maser pistol"

"I'd take a hyperkinetic coil rifle over either, myself. No muzzle flair, and no chance of quarterising a nonfatal wound. Sure, you have to reload every so often, but if you're sniping you'd need to change positions after a shot or two anyway."
It occurs to you that a man in Mr Weatherby's position probably hasn't always been an administrator.

"No. Tests are conducted under standard conditions. With standard weapons. Speak to the duty master-at-arms. Follow the corridor to the west. That way."
He points to his left.

"Thanks" and with that he made his way down the corridor, he was a little disappointed that he could use his own guns, as he knew them so well it almost felt as if they are an extension of himself. He arrived and addressed the Dog behind the desk. "Indiana Rimmer for the shootin teast suh"

OOC: Okay, this is the bit where we veer off from the usual BoH role play set up. Since I like having combat resolved by dice rolls, you have to decide now how you want your character to fight. Think of this like the start of Morrowind, where you answer questions to get assigned a class.
"One of the new guys, hay? Wait here a mo' an' I'll call the tester over."
He scans a duty roster on the desk. And winces.
"Oh. Harakim's on duty at the moment."
He scratches an ear nervously.
"Are you in, like, a hurry?"

In any case when do i start my training I'm very anxious to start this new job *smiles* and apparently the other guy is too!

"If we decide to take you on then your training schedule will be overseen by your bosun. We aren't a military organisation, you understand. We don't drill our employees. There aren't any parades, no marches, no inspections as such. But we do have certain standards."
He shuffles some papers, and looks directly at you.
"Before we go on, there are a couple of things I am legally required to ask. Firstly, are there any outstanding warrants for your arrest on any UAC member world. We won't necessarily reject you if the answer is yes, but lying about it now would result in automatic termination should we discover the deception."

"I think that you may have inadvertently skipped the bit where you tell me what being with these rogues involved."
