A tall skinny man with pale skin stained with black oil walks into the recruitment office purposefully, he wears strange leather clothes with an armless longcoat over the lot, cogs and wheels tattooed all over his exposed arms, a pair of welding goggles slung round his neck, he couldn't have been a day over 21...
"this where I sign up for her majesties armed forces right?"
"that's right" says the recruitment officer taking in this strange individual before him.
"ah well then, I wish do do my part for queen and country sir!" he says enthusiastically.
"and would that be flying for her as well? are you a skilled pilot?"
"ah why yes brother! I-I mean sir! in the blood see!"
"very well then, and your previous profession?"
"ah well, you see, my dad and me, well the family are self employed, so to speak, we come from dundee, we've all worked in my dads company, we make stuff!"
"stuff?" the recruitment officer looks a bit worried, guessing at this lads sanity as he asks...
"oh, yeah, well we get all kinds of contracts to build almost anything out of all manner of metals! I specialized in engine components and guidance systems! we last built a mining ship that could mine the inside of large asteroids in the borderworlds..."
"ok, ok very good" the officer cuts in "So, why do you want to join her majesties armed forces exactly?"
"I feel i am needed most in Dublin sir, my brother's there and all, he's a miner, and I worry about him! he's younger than myself... and I hate those pirate scum!" The lad became a bit out of control. "sorry, I understand if you wish to post me else where... or on other duties..." he calms trailing off
"I like to call them 'unlawful's' myself, I understand, well it's not up to me you see, here is a form to fill out, and I wish you the best of luck young man"
"Why thank you sir! I hope I'm the man for the job, it would make my father very proud! and it's in the blood see! we can fix almost anything and I would like to think I can fix some trouble in bretonia!"
