Cristiano Vega finished his tests and waited for the results. The sand-glass was turning and nothing happened...

All the testing terminals were connected to the Brotherhood's mainframe (located in Deep Underground Vault along with other vital systems). One of latest artificial intelligence patches were installed on the recruiting systems and ever since that, the behavior of all the testing terminals became somewhat extraordinary.
Not only were they playing silly games with stressed recruits, such as waiting with the results while studying the poor person's movements through camera, but from time to time they even stopped following the testing procedures, set by the Elders, and they tested the recruits their way.

After waiting roughly 5 minutes, Cristiano Vega started to be very nervous. What could he have done wrong? Some of the latest questions were still occupying his mind when he was shocked by a very loud sound of fanfares and he fell of the chair he was sitting on.
After he stood up again he looked at the testing terminal:
Quote:I GOT YOU! Welcome to the Brotherhood, young and scared man!
After you get up from the floor, please take this Voucher and show it either to Elders or Centurions and you'll get your 20 mils. Good luck out there!
Cristiano was embarrassed and left the recruitment office in a hurry, but both Asno Muleo and Jacinta Villanueva couldn't be sure that something similar could happen to them as well.
Asno filled in the missing data and after the test questionnaire appeared in front of him, he started to working on it and quickly forgot what happened to poor Cristiano a few minutes ago.
Jacinta was welcomed by this message:
Quote:Hi there, pretty, shaved, farming lady! Are you applying for a work in the Council Chamber kitchen? You missed the door, go back to the corridor you came through and take the next exit to the left...
Quite a strong punch landed at the top of the terminal's screen...
Quote:OUCH!! All right, all right, stop it! It was just a joke... sheesh...
Here you go, good luck!
Jacinta chafed her hand, sat down and looked at the screen. To her surprise there was no test as she was assigned a completely different task. She scratched her shaved head and started with writing what she was asked for...
