A Chinese Officer walked into the room full of potential new recruits. Somehow this time was different. He could vaguely remember the last time he walked into a situation like this, a new recruit that had the determination as every other person in this room. But he made it through the ordeal and lived to continue serving for the Coalition. It was his time to help pick out the seeds that will continue the values of the Coalition.
He looked through the remaining recruits with absolutley no emotion, there was no time for sympathy.
He finally found the proper recruit he would interview. He pointed to Faina Terenti.
"You, come with me" The Officer demanded.
Terenti got up from her chair and followed the chinese man into another room. There were shouts and screams coming from all directions of the other places 'interviews' were being held, however the sounds were very faint.
The Coalition officer motioned her to sit down. He circled around the table and sat down directly in front of her.
After sizing her up for a good 30 seconds he began to speak.
"A formal introduction will not be necessary, as every recruit's chances of survival are very slim. All you need to know is that I am Captain Sean Lee. Now..." Lee continued to speak as he poured a glass of vodka. "... I watched you ever since you entered the Recruitment Office, You seemed really confident and carefree, laughing, listening to music, maintaining a calm stature and I admire that. However..." Lee continued, "you will not feel those same feelings for long. So tell me, why are you here?"
Lee leaned back in his chair as the recruit was thinking of her answer
