"Poison, come in please. Meet in front of the dojo gates as soon as possible." Marker's voice said over the comms Poison had
He had been cleared for action by a bona-fide psychiatrist, and now he was finally going to get some.

"Yessir, coming..." Poison said into the command, grabbing his stuff and arriving at the gate...
-
"There you are!" Marker said, motioning Poison over to the wall on which he leaned
-
Poison nodded his head to Marker and leaned against the same wall, a few feet over...
-
"Alright, have you reached a decision on what career path you'd like to follow? Espionage, special operations? Or filter back into the ranks of Rifleman and Pilots?"
-
Edited by medic: 7/4/2017 10:31:56 AM"Yeah, I feel like being a Pilot would be my thing, it just feels natural..." "I read up on the Hornet, and providing close air support would be more my type..." Poison looked over at Marker when he said this, trying to gauge his reaction...
-
Marker nodded approvingly, glancing into the forest "So not a Titan Pilot. But a pilot Ships. And the Hornet you said? Interesting..."
-
"Yeah... don't know how comfortable it would be though... I'd need to get a feel for it. Any chance of me test-driving one?"
-
"Perhaps there would be, yes. Fighter pilots generally escort our ships, and enter spacial battles. That means you won't be seeing many ground battles are you sure that's what you want?"
-
"Oh... really?" Poison asked, an almost, [i]disappointed[/i] tone in his voice...
-
"You [i]might[/i] come in to give us ground support on certain operations, but other than that you'll be in between missions alot."
-
"Ahh... that's not what I thought it to be. The only other things I was thinking about were Special Operations and Espionage..."
-
"Espionage would involve you breaking into the IMC ranks as one of their own, taking part in reporting to us every now and than."
-
"Aha! So special operations it is!" Poison said with a laugh "That's [i]definitely[/i] not my type.."
-
"Special operations is slightly similar to both. You won't be seeing action [i]too[/i][i][/i] often but the action you do see will be stealth based. Silencers, breaking into places and capturing an objective or something of the sorts."
-
"Yes. That's more of what I had in mind..."
-
"Alright, so special operations it is. Getting into their ranks takes alot of hard work, and you'll be trained mostly as a pilot would be, in some ways. You'll be training with your grappling, and will be taking part in a stealth operation. Failure of the operation will result in you not being able to join the spec Ops. Instead, you'll be assigned to something else." "It's very high stakes"
-
"High stakes get you high rewards.." Poison said quite confidently "Or well, something like that..."
-
"It is in fact. You break into their main facility on their world, get information to us. Maybe die in the process but hey, we'd win."
-
"At least we'd win! Yay!" Poison said sarcastically..
-
"It's true. You get us the right information, the right artifact. It could change the tide of the war."
-
"I have no doubt about that, the way you said it was just funny..." Poison said, chuckling...
-
"Imagine losing every single member of the U.S. Navy Seals in one go." Marker said with a solemn sigh, shaking his head as he glanced over "Pilots are trained for war. Rifleman are trained for war. You guys are trained for battle."
-
Edited by medic: 7/4/2017 11:25:04 AMPoison nodded solemnly as well but said nothing...
-
"Anyways. Let's see what you got shall we? I'll put you in my own creation of a mission. Is that alright?"
-
"Fine by me. What is it?"
