CHARACTERS: tyke and the three musketeers
LOCATION: sec's offices
WARNINGS: n/a?
SUMMARY: the musketeers would like to join sec




[ it's a little after the jump — after they've all shaken off the urge to search for ones that are not there, when rationality has reasserted itself over instinct. porthos had talked to a young lady by the name of veronica who'd offered information about security. they are all three in agreement that they cannot imagine not joining up; it is as close as they will come to still being musketeers aboard the ship.

besides, aramis for one cannot wait to try the more modern weaponry people had hinted existed. muskets and rifles that did not need reloading after one shot? it seemed too good to be real.

and so they seek out tyke, the head of security by the information offered to them, all three clad in leather, with coats and hats and swords fastened to their sides, athos in the lead. athos is the one to enter first, aramis and porthos flanking him on either side.

aramis makes a point to smile, particularly when he sees that tyke is not only a woman but an attractive one at that. wouldn't want to seem unfriendly or too threatening, now. ]

[She takes another moment, sizing them up with the information Athos has given, with the information she already knows - though there are things that shouldn't be relied on, she knows. The people that turned up on the ship didn't always match up with any stories that may have been about them.

But musketeers were good fighters, and that was the same impression she got from looking at them, the way they stood and the camaraderie between them. They could be the same as any soldier or marine. The outfits didn't matter.]

Alright. [She nods, looks down at the device in her hands and types something else in quickly.] Gonna need to take you down to the gym to run you through skills assessments, then I can sign you up.

[She tips the tablet in her hands, using it to gesture out of the room, an invitation for them to go straight into that if they were ready.]

[aeipathos]

Of course.

[ Because he can parse that meaning well enough. It would be a poor leader indeed who simply took them at their word, even though a great deal of what they were asking, even he, acknowledged was effectively 'give us time to learn with your new stuff and if we don't shoot vital parts of each other we'll serve for Security'. Athos accompanies this acknowledgement with the type of bow he is most familiar with - that is, shallow, noble to noble, peer to peer - and moves in the direction indicated. Why wait? ]
