General Joseph Garcia was onboard the CPW-Trotsky conducting his inspection of the recruitment when he stumbled upon Captain Tsukuda interrogating an applicant who was trapped in an airlock. Normally he would not have cared but he recognized the applicant as a man that Colonel Coronel had personally vouched for.
"I see you're making our applicant comfortable. I'll be taking over from this point however." he motioned for Kyu to open the airlock and she did.
The terrified Jean Marx came back onboard the Trotsky but before he could say a word the General motioned for the applicant to follow him to a nearby office. Making sure that the office was clear, he motioned for the recruit to sit.
"So I'm told that you're from Planet Volgograd and that your parents were miners, yes?"
The recruit nodded in acknowledgement.
"So tell me, what makes you think you're capable of joining the SCRA? We are a Military, one that has to constantly do the impossible and win against impossible odds. What makes you think a simple Miner could be capable of doing what we do?"
