Jonathan Scorpion Interview

[17:45:28] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick steps out of the elevator and takes a moment to look around before stepping closer to the Mytharii, whom he recognize from the time he had a tank cannon aimed to his face. "Good evening." He greets, blowing some smoke from his nostrils.

[17:47:02] Avigail Eternium was reading Jon's file on the datapad when she heard a voice behind her, both of her ears tilt up and the feline quickly turns around *Oh greetings... so you are Jonathan, correct?*

[17:48:53] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick nods, pulling his cigar from his lips. "Aye, aye. Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick, from the Fitzpatrick clan. Warrior born and raised." He introduces himself, grinning.

[17:50:54] Avigail Eternium sticks her tongue out playfully *Nice meeting you... I am MPO Avigail Eternium, I'll be doing your interview for Scorpions Security Solutions

[17:54:15] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick nods again, taking that as his cue to just put his cigar out and place it back in a small metallic box. "I hear ya... Nice meetin' ya, Ms Eternium. I ain't so used to interviews, but ask away." He says, patting his beard as if to get some of the incense-like scent of his flavored cigars off from him.

[17:56:14] Avigail Eternium nods lightly *No worries, is a short interview, nothing to worry about, couple of routine questions...* the feline explains before lowering her gaze to the screen of the datapad she's holding, reading some on Jon's file before she speaks again *Well, here says you are experienced on guns and explosives, would you like to tell me a bit about it?*

[18:00:03] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick crosses his arms over his chest and brings his left hand up to rub on his chin. "Well, we Verga'ans are an orderly race. Each one is born for a destiny. I was born to fight, so I've been carrying guns and tossing grenades since I was a wee lil boy with barely any hair on ma face. Traditional Verga'an military training, ya see, done mostly in-family. I've used pistols, sniper rifles, shotguns, machine guns and at one point even a flame thrower. And lots of grenades, no better way to get a fool out of cover."
[18:01:04] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick pauses. "What ya earthlings call it? FLushing them out?" He chuckles. "Down the toilet them go..."

[18:05:36] Avigail Eternium listens attentively and types on the screen on the pad, taking notes as the Verga'an speaks, chuckles softly at the last statement, looking up at him with her odd colored eyes *Well, I am not sure, I wasn't born here* wiggles both of her ears on top of her head *I am from Titan, one of Saturn's moons* nods a couple of times *And that sounds pretty good, knowledge on how to use a variety of weapons, always useful* pauses a moment as she reads a bit more on the file then speaks again *We in Scorpion have plenty of positions, and plenty of room for our operatives to develop and grow in the company, goes from support, infantry, mechanized, air force, etcetera, just to mention some spots... I suppose you are taking a line operative position instead of staff... the questions is, is there are position in particular you are looking to specialize on?*

[18:10:18] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick nods. "Aye, I ain't joinin' a warband to do paperwerk. Right now my training is all about infantry, even if my current gear makes me kind of a glass gun. But I plan on fixin' that. I do plan, however, to learn more than that. If you guys have the habit of taking infantry and trainin' them to do more, right? Mechanized sounds like a good medium-term goal..." Of course, for a long-lived Verga'an, "medium" and "long" terms are on their own scale.

[18:14:08] Avigail Eternium chuckles softly *Yes! that's what I think too, but as you can see, I have to do paperwork too sometimes* sticks her tongue out playfully once again and nods lightly taking some more notes *Correct, we don't limit our operatives, you can get training and certifications in several things, but can only be specialized at one thing at a time, by specialized I mean, fully focused....* nods lightly *But yes, variety to move around the Company is good* the screen on the datapad turns off and she lowers it, looking at Jon's eyes *Well, last question... we as Scorpion, why do we want you?*

[18:23:52] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick grins back at her answer to his 'paperwork' remark - he really hopes he doesn't end up filling forms and doing office work far too often. Then she makes that last question and his grin kind of disappears. She can easily read his surprise at her question. "What'd ya mean, why? We Verga'ans basically created the art of warfare in this system, miss, and I am a true-bred warrior, a fighter among fighters. I'm the first into the action and the last to retreat. Cowards can try to shoot at us in the dark but they can't hide from ma aim. Besides..." He pauses and smirks. "...I am not just a pretty face with a gun. I ain't an idiot prone to fuckin' up just because someone made a bad remark about ma momma or about ma family jewels."

[18:27:14] Avigail Eternium 's right ear twitch lightly while the left one flats down against her hair, the feline offers him a smile and nods *Well, that is a good answer to my question* one of her hands slides to unzip her thigh bag and slides the datapad inside it, looking back up at Jon *With that we conclude the interview... I'll send this info to the Company and someone else will contact you soon to let you know what to do next... do you have any questions or suggestions?*

[18:30:06] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick rubs his chin and tilts his head. "Aye, question here... Once I'm inside, what other bands do I have to look out fer? I know I'll get known by Col-Sec after a few jobs - they don't like grenades, the milkdrinkers - but is Scorpion at war of sorts with anyone in specific?"

[18:33:10] Avigail Eternium shakes her head from side to side *We are neutral towards everyone, we can basically be hired by anyone able to pay our services, we do patrols, security for establishments like Journey's End, Red Tail, when we get a contract with them, Colsec should not bother us as long as we abide by the laws, but we can be hired to hit on them, it really depends on the task given*

[18:40:24] Avigail Eternium shakes her head from side to side once again *I don't mind, feel free to do so* then moves a step closer, sliding a hand forward to shake the Verga'an's hand in a very human gesture, the feline clearly is not familiar with the Verga'an way to greet others.

[18:42:38] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick is so used to doing greetings in the human way that he doesn't even blink. He just reaches forth and shakes the Mytharii's hand with a firm grip. "Alright, then, lass. Real pleasure to actually talk to ya without a cannon up on ma face." He jokes, smirking, smoke blowing out of his nostrils again.

[18:44:03] Avigail Eternium lets out a soft laugh, shaking the Verga'an's hand a bit before pulling her hand back *Sorry about that, security procedures* nods a little bit *Nice to talk to you as well! I'll head back to the base... I guess I will be seeing you soon*

[18:45:00] Jonathan Spark Fitzpatrick nods some more and makes a playful mock of salute to her. "Aye aye, see ya soonish, lass. Have a good one and take care!"
