Susan Rowlett in the Recruitment Office - SpaceTime - 03-27-2011 Timothy Burrows entered in his office. He has just returned from a brief travel to Freeport 10. He was still feeling nervous after an Outcast raid in the convoy. He ordered the computer to give him some whiskey. He sat and whispered " I hope this one helps..." After some moments, someone was knocking his door. He unpleasantly returned to reality. " Come in ! " Susan, gently opened the door and moved near Burrows. " This must be the recruitment office, right? My name is Susan Rowlett, I am very pleased to meet you ! " Susan smiled and then shaked hands with Burrows. " Oh, hello my dear, yes you are right, my name is Timothy Burrows please take a seat " Timothy was searching his papers while Susan thanked him and sat in one of the two chairs in front of his office. ![]() " Do you want a drink, Miss Rowlett ? " Timothy asked while he was still searching for Susan's application. " Erm.. I would like some coffee if you don't mind " " Of course. Computer give some coffee to Miss Rowlett. Ah there it is ! " Timothy just pulled Susan's application from a pile full of files and papers. " Thank you Mr.Burrows " " Call me Timothy, Miss Rowlett. So... I have received and read some information about you and what we are going to do here is to ask you some questions based on the information I have" Timothy was feeling much better with the whiskey in his veins. " It seems I am much better now" he thought. " Of course, Timothy" Susan nodded while she started feeling a little nervous. Timothy Burrows uploaded Susan's application in the computer and was skimming it with a profound interest. Quote: " Very interesting..." Even though most people had their own story, he found Susan's uniquely impressive. Susan was looking at him with curiosity and a little stress. " Miss Rowlett you were born at 787 A.S. in Planet Leeds. Is that correct ? " " Yes it is " " And since.. a month ago you were working for 'The Attic' . Your position was good, your salary was good. What made you quit ? " " Naval Forces have reached Stokes Mr.Burrows. They are conducting operations right outside of my planet. For the sake of my kids, I couldn't continue working there..." " True. I arguably understand that. How old are your kids Miss Rowlett ? " He asked even though he knew the answer " Emily is 3 and James is almost 2 " " ... and if you are accepted in the IMG, your kids will be with you, I presume, right ? " He tried to focus in the kids and intentionally avoid talking about their father. " Yes, that's true " Susan, drank some of the coffee looking at the room " What can you offer to us Miss Rowlett ? " Timothy was looking straigh at Susan's eyes. " Well " She took a deep breath " I have finished some courses in order to become a diplomat, as you already know I am working for 9 years in Attic's public relations and I have also been trained for ground and space combat " Burrows was satisfied by the accurate information he was given. " Quite a rich record for a 30 year old woman. I am sure you could have found much better and more well-paid missions across Sirius. Why you apply for IMG ? " " I don't like what big corporations do to their employees. Also, I want to be far from wars " Susan hardly believed of what she said. Timothy Burrows also knew the real reason and he smiled for a moment. " Miss Rowlett, you are accepted to Independent Miners Guild. You will be assigned in the defence of Java Station in Tau-23 System" He stood up " Thank you very much Mr.Burrows" She stood up as well and shaked hands with Timothy. " A convoy is leaving soon for Java, if you hurry you won't miss it " " Alright, thank you again Mr.Burrows, I hope we meet again ! " Timothy was watching Susan while she was exiting his office. "She experienced such a tragedy... I hope Java will give her what she is looking for" he thought and served another whiskey to himself. |
