Mendel stepped over the corpses, reaching out to tap a few controls, restoring the decontamination system, a rush of fresh and purified air washing out the chemical agent that had proven so effective.
Sweeping off his gas mask, Mendel triggered another switch that caused the overhead sprinklers to engage, washing the goo that had been the unfortunate failed recruits, down the drain. Leaving a spic and span recruitment office.
Wet from head to toe, Mendel ran a hand through his hair and smiled around him.
"Another fine recruiting session... I think that should be it. All of you that have survived, proceed to the Trotsky where Colonel Rhade will begin your flight training... Alicia!"
Alicia stepped out of the side office, shaking her head at him.
"You know... you owe me a trip to the spa to get this crap out of my hair!"
Mendel nodded, "yes dear," he said as he watched her begin to lock the Recruitment office up.
