Gallic Royal Navy Recruitment and Transfer Office (iRP)

[Omi]

Grumpily, Lucie poked the incoming mail icon with one finger, bringing up the newly received application for review. She hated dealing with menial paperwork like this, preferring to send authoritative, grand transmissions that made her feel all powerful and imposing, but she didn't trust anyone else to do it properly. The chaff had to be weeded out before they wasted Royal francs on repairing exploded Lynxes, after all.

Glancing over the application, Lucie was delighted to note that he'd answered the Grand Maréchal question incorrectly, just like the applicant before him. That would rub Ansel up the wrong way. She made a mental note to forward that section of the application to him, perhaps with a mocking smiley face or two attached. Petty, yes, but she was still sore that Charbonneau had been made Maréchal over her. He never even showed up to conference meetings, for goodness' sake.

Aside from getting the Grand Maréchal question wrong (which was a bonus anyway, as far as she was concerned), the rest of the application was as standard and clean-cut as she could have hoped for. Some fresh-faced graduate, probably with high marks in all the theory and not much expertise to speak of in areas that were actually important, looking to die for his country. He probably would, too, but that wasn't something that they put on the recruitment posters. Lucie didn't really care what happened to him, but everything was in order.

Yawning, she sent a standard acceptance message to the new Aspirant and headed off to get some more coffee.
