np, we still have 2 open spots for additional marines if Arca and Tien want to join.

"Well your credentials check out, I'll need to give you a run over of the ships equipment, but I think you'd make a good engineer," Rain said faking a smile. She looked at him closely, he was studying her as much as she was studying him. He's a smart one alright she thought, but he seemed honest enough. She thought for a moment more then shook his hand. "welcome aboard."

I'm also tempted to join.
I didn't bite earlier due to having an exam and also being confused...
Of course, its getting pretty filled up...so...if there's no room, its not a problem.

well here is the deal droid, there are 2 marine spots open, Arca and Tien mentioned possibly wanting to join, if they don't fine you can be in, if they do...

OOC: why not just be a drifter? I think that was an option, yes?

Also, my character can be pressed into a pilot role (preferably with small ships) if needed - She has the capacity, she just hates it. Yes, at 17. (lol hidden character history)

Something to keep in mind for later, I suppose, don't try to force her hand too early or I won't get lots of character development funness.

I forgot that. but its not that there are too many crew members, its that if there are too many RPers the topic will get confusing and hard to follow because there will be so many people trying to do so many things at once.

I concede that point. I've seen it happen.

"well, good luck to you rich... I mean phoenix."

The man shook his hand.

"B.t.w., names Jonathan. Jonathan Nova. Did security work in the military. You?"

Richard turned his head to observe a joung man that just rushed into the dock and was aparently arguing with a little droid. Chuckling, he told John to hol on a sec and called the man.

"You there! Yes, you... you looking for something?"

The man ran towards them and quickly asked:
"This is the dock 2, right? Are there any openings left in the engenering department?"

Jonathan butted in:
"You're in luck. The interviews just started. The position is still free as far as I know. And it looks like this interview is also over. Will you two get going?"

"Oh well..let's get this over with."
As he moved towards the desk he motioned Mic to follow.
"The job won't wait for you forever kid, better move it."

NOTE: I'll try to move this thing a bit.. If anyone has any objection regarding their own charachters, just say and I'll edit/change/remove...whatever.

Ben studied Rain's face, trying to figure out if she had read between the lines or not. All he got was a fake smile.

"Thank you, I'll look over the ship blueprints now", he said as he got up to leave. Before he left, he cast a final glance at Rain, and mumbled incoherently, "everyone is looking for something, huh?"

He sat back down next to Sapphire, and fingered the little pendant hanging around her neck. It glowed theromflorescently as he let it go, and he thought to himself, I'll find you. Somewhere. But at least I have my ticket out of this scrap pile . . . . I will find you.

He glanced over at the two guys by the corner. Hmph.

IC:
John looked at the people by the desk. A teenager? Wow. None of the people here are nearly as old as me. My late son would've probably been older than most of these lot... Yes, he would've. That was... 27 years ago...

John had been waiting for the rest of the people to finish their interviews before he stepped up. Seeming as they had, he then went to the desk and began answering the questions asked him.

Seeing the interview with that strange engineer was over, Richard made his way to the front of the line. While he approached the desk he took a good look at his employer.
She looked young..very young...around 20 he guessed. But her eyes reflected a sense of security and focus..maturity beyond her age. She was also quite a bit shorter than him - no wonder, he was almost 6,4 feet tall with a body build to match.

As he sat down rain looked over the papers he handed over for a bit and asked with a small dose of curiosity in her tone:
"Mr..Richard Sterling...these papers have quite a few blanks. Any particular reason?"

"Precaution and necessity."

"Hmm...Tell me, any outstanding warrants?"

"No. At least nothing on record."

"Two questions - what's in the container and why do you want to join?"

"Honest answer?"

"Please."

"When I left the military I "borrowed" some equipment. Really good equipment. They didn't really like it...blew up my apartment..while I was inside. Long story short, I played dead and been wandering the world for a bit. Your ship seems to be going places, which suits me."

Rain paused a bit, digesting what he said and then continued:
"Well, nobody's perfect..jsut one more thing-"

She pulled out her shotgun with lightning speed and pointed it at Richards face. He didn't even blink.

"For a military man, you're not really fast."

"Speed is overrated. True, being quick is one of the most important things in combat, but there are two things that are eve more so."

"Oh? What would that be?"

He smiled and raised his right arm, revealing a fragmentation granade in his hand, the pin was pulled out. Rains eyes focused on it for just a moment, and that was all Richard needed. She felt a strong pull and pain in her right arm and a instant later her shotgun was now pointed at her.

"Planing and precision. Speed is of little use without those two."

He put the shotgun down on the table and returned the granade to his pocket.

EDIT - my bad.. I put in "old guy" instead of "Strange engineer" got characters confused. Fix0red
