Re: Death Valley Days
Agent smiles, and takes another sip of his drink as people talk.
"Well," he looks at Glaze, "John got this ship the old fashioned way. He stole it. As to the way it's creation, and aforementioned theft, was kept secret... well, let us just quote the golden rule on that one. He who has the gold, makes the rules. There are a lot of secrets out there, some hidden in plain sight, that the average person does not know about."
At Dawnfire's comments he gives her a small nod. "You are absolutely correct, something of this scale requires quite a commitment. However, everyone is human, or a close enough approximation, that they need a break. What I have found is that this line of work tends to be short bursts of action followed by periods of inaction and waiting. So you will have time to yourselves, as well as the ability for 'shore leave' as it were. As this ship travels around nearly constantly, there are almost always places one can be dropped for leisure. As to accommodations, I would assume that those will be provided, although I admit that is not my department."
Agent gives Shillelagh a look over. "I am sure that Lt Breyer will be here soon, if not Wraith, to speak officially. In terms of interviews, there is a standard layout of checking that has been done or is in process right now. It is not like one can ask for a resume at this point. Rest assured, by the time John needs to make a decision he will already know your background, dirty secrets, underwear size, and so forth."
