City of Irrowskurn, 2000 Orbital Time, Day 140, Year 79 N.T."Oh, right, thanks."
She places her bag down, and takes the bottom.
((Her age is either 18, or 20, whichever suits more.))
You slide your bags under the bed, noticing that there's not much under there. [Scrounger] You take a look, and find a liquid-cooled jacket, a flashlight, a toolkit, and some snacks. That's about it.
The barracks door slams open. It is Captain Feldman, judging from the double-barred insignia on his hat, and his nametag. He shouts across the room with a voice so penetrating you can hear it over your idle conversations and chit-chat.
"Do we have a room full of soldiers here or a room of washed-up recruits? If you are not prepared then I expect you to come to class early so you can learn!""Geez, though he could take a punch better than that."
Claim best bunk, ask around to see where we get started with training.
You aren't sure what qualifies as 'the best' so you settle for any bed that isn't this one. You ask one guy if you can share, (d6: 4) but he shoves you away.
"Dipshit. You didn't need to take him out like that."
The barracks door slams open. It is Captain Feldman, judging from the double-barred insignia on his hat, and his nametag. He shouts across the room with a voice so penetrating you can hear it over your idle conversations and chit-chat.
"Do we have a room full of soldiers here or a room of washed-up recruits? If you are not prepared then I expect you to come to class early so you can learn!"He passes by you and says,
"Except for you, son. You're coming to the office with me.""I'll savor it." Raioyris smiles, grabbing the pincer. If I have any food on me offer it to Hermia. "Fly true Hermia."
Go and find a bunk for some rest. Find one near a corner if possible.
You have some chocolate-coated biscuit sticks. You rip off the biscuit part and give some to Hermia, who gladly accepts it.
You then go inside. You notice Jeremy, who just got turned down, and notice an empty pair of beds right next to you.
The barracks door slams open. It is Captain Feldman, judging from the double-barred insignia on his hat, and his nametag. He shouts across the room with a voice so penetrating you can hear it over your idle conversations and chit-chat.
"Do we have a room full of soldiers here or a room of washed-up recruits? If you are not prepared then I expect you to come to class early so you can learn!"He passes by you and tells you to stop spacing out.
Shrugging, I put the candy bag in my bags. "Respect. We're probably gonna need to watch our intake, anyway..."
It occurs to me that I have no idea how prevalent weaponry is on this planet. Is there a citizen militia group that officially trains at least bi-weekly in case an emergency comes up? Or are we looking at a room potentially full of washouts? I want to know who's got actual skills, here.
I chat him up some more while looking around pointedly to the rest of the room. "Hey, Shirou, you ever... you know, fired a gun before? Killed something? Or at least shot cans?"
If not, I offer to help him out as best I can. Teach him how to handle and care for for a gun, maybe; I learned quite a bit about that from my folks, since we sometimes had to fend off supply looters while on the job; there's plenty of crazies out there who'd love to get their hands on commercial-grade explosives.
Irrowskurn has no gun control. It's hard to limit weapons when a homemade printer can build one.

"A gun? Sure. My parents made me get lessons. They always told me to watch out for myself in the world. And to eat quick, in case someone else tries to steal it.
Well," he grins to himself.
"I added that last part."He finishes cleaning up all of his papers and readying his stuff.
"Looking forward to class! We should sit together."The barracks door slams open. It is Captain Feldman, judging from the double-barred insignia on his hat, and his nametag. He shouts across the room with a voice so penetrating you can hear it over your idle conversations and chit-chat.
"Do we have a room full of soldiers here or a room of washed-up recruits? If you are not prepared then I expect you to come to class early so you can learn!"He passes by you and tells you to tie your shoelaces. Odd, you'd thought they were tied a minute ago...
"Nah, tanks weren't that popular back in the war. I did work with other land vehicles, making sure they were in proper order. It's an important job, the main reason it ended so quickly was due to the abysmal state of Anexian supply and traffic. Trucks and munitions got stuck in the city well before the troops could get it."
"But enough about me. What made you want to be a civil engineer in the first place?"
Ask the girl about her background.
"Well, my parents..." she looks flummoxed as to what to say.
"My family sort of didn't look to the future. They just did their things. I felt like a hypocrite using all the marvels of modern technology without contributing to it myself."The barracks door slams open. It is Captain Feldman, judging from the double-barred insignia on his hat, and his nametag. He shouts across the room with a voice so penetrating you can hear it over your idle conversations and chit-chat.
"Do we have a room full of soldiers here or a room of washed-up recruits? If you are not prepared then I expect you to come to class early so you can learn!"He passes by you and tells you to stop hitting on girls.
Introduce myself to the person on the bottom bunk.
"Hi. I'm Jacob."
"Hey, it's me, Rich!" he says.
Looking closer, you realize he's in a phone call, cancelling an appointment. He claps the phone shut, and then rests his face on his palms, sighing heavily.
"What the fuck... Was just starting my business and now this crap."The barracks door slams open. It is Captain Feldman, judging from the double-barred insignia on his hat, and his nametag. He shouts across the room with a voice so penetrating you can hear it over your idle conversations and chit-chat.
"Do we have a room full of soldiers here or a room of washed-up recruits? If you are not prepared then I expect you to come to class early so you can learn!"He passes by you and tells you to shave your unprofessional facial hair.
