0003: NEW ARRIVALS

Who: New Arrivals, Captain Jack Hollis, Science Captain Urist McEngineer, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon
Warnings: None

When awakening, you'll find the area you're in to be very busy. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. The same goes for the robots in the hangars. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room.

The room is large, but not quite large enough for some of the bigger Cybertronians. They've been given drone bodies at least, skinny little things with no real features beyond primitive masks made of paper plates. There's seats for everyone, at least, well-cushioned and comfortable, and the room is pleasantly lit.

A few Security personnel, dressed in their red and black uniforms, stand at ease in the rooms in strategic areas. Three men stand at the head. One is Graham Baker, a slightly nervous-seeming middle-aged man wearing a multi-layered business suit that seems rumpled and oversized. The other two men are dressed in military uniforms, one with the blue undershirt and piping of Command, while the other wears the gold of Science.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with.]

It was a lot of information to take in in such a short period of time and some of it sounds confusing to Selphie but regardless, there's nothing she can do about it now. She's here and she'll do what she always does in these situations and make the best of a bad situation. There's some nagging thoughts of worry at the back of her mind but those aren't as important as trying to figure out what's going on. It was all fine and dandy that they were working on a solution but was it really going to take that long to find an answer? She could scoff and make weird faces at the men standing on the stage but what would be the point?

No matter which you looked at it, Selphie was legally an adult there and she'd have to act accordingly. With those intentions in mind, the girl waits patiently until some of the others have finished asking their questions before raising a hand gripping the hem of a pajama shirt sleeve to ask her question. She had skills that she figured would be beneficial to their military but just where exactly they would fit in was up in the air. Whatever the case, the girl ends up standing up to get their attention.

"Excuse me, sirs! In regards to transferring into your forces, what are the requirements for transfer?"
boomchucka: (Ummmm... right.)

Captain Hollis' answer truly left a lot left blank in there as Selphie regarded him with a slightly skeptical look. If these people somehow managed to bring them all here than surely they have to know something about the people in the room right? Selphie kept her face a mask of smiles despite the confusion in her eyes because she wasn't sure what to make of the situation.

She sits back down eventually, her arms folding over her chest in a display of discomfort with this situation. There was a lot of information to absorb and Selphie had one more question to ask. "So would your organization have room for a mercenary or do I need to work my way up the ladder?
boomchucka: (bitch please)

Selphie's eyebrows knitted together in a frown as her eyes narrowed into a slightly scathing look. Whatever opinions Captain Hollis has about Mercenaries, SeeDs are nothing like a rag tag band of merry misfits. To think that these people would lump SeeD in with that kind of mercenary is enough to leave the perky brunette in an angry silence for a few moments.

"If you've ever heard of SeeD, Sir," Selphie retorted. "You would realize that our mercenaries are very different. There's absolutely nothing disorganized about it and maybe I'd rather be with the Militia than with the Military after all."
boomchucka: (Ummmm... right.)

For the love of Hyne, this man is a doofus, Selphie thought to herself before letting the next person have the floor. She didn't have time to argue semantics with a man who clearly wasn't interested in listening. Maybe if she was still a brand new SeeD, she would have argued it but she's the way that some of the people from her world glared at her and her friends as they walked through the towns.

She flicked her wrist him dismissively, not wanting to hear another word from the pretty boy who could go take a long walk off a short pier for all she was concerned.
