A man in his late 30'ies was rattling through the corridor, his eyes starring at the floor. At a first glimpse one could say he was a war veteran - scarred and slightly burned under the chin face, cybernetic eye-implant and a medal on his chest, his posture being rather "fixed" as after hundreds of rallies and years serving in the army. And yet, today one could tell there was uneasiness or even uncertainty in his demeanor.
No doubt, that was a hard day for Captain Igor Sibirtsev: he had just left the office of the Ministry of Truth and was heading to the Recruitment Office as if he were some sort of a "green muppet". After all his years of service in interceptor wing, a few wounds and even a combat award he had yet to prove himself capable of piloting a capital ship - an opportunity and responsibility for a small pleiad of Coalition pilots. Despite having meticulously studying the theory of capital ships warfare and graduating from Captain Academy with honours the trial at the Ministry of Truth was rather difficult. Yet, these can't be easy at any time.
Approaching at the door of the Recruitment Office, Captain Sibirtsev noticed a few muppets entering and leaving the Office. There was a busy queue and the guards were laughing at non-native recruits from Rheinland and targeting their lasguns at the poor souls who weren't brave enough to enter the office and see the Officer in person. He saluted the guard, exchanged a few words and captured an image of Comrade Katz on the wall. That seemed to be a Rheinlander, maybe those muppets could prove their use for the Revolution too. He then dived into thoughts about that new ship - Typhoon class CPW "Kirovograd", a fine piece of engineering built on Mykolaiv shipyard. A fine ship indeed.
That moment a muppet was carried away from the Recruitment Office by the guards. He was probably to fly into space soon, just in his casual clothes. Swallowed his pride, Captain Igor stepped in the Office. With a salute he handed his dossier to the Officer
