[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

I'm a soldier for the Survey Corps, an intense section of the military that protects the last of humanity. Is that what you mean?

[goodbyenurse]

Indeed...

That may be useful. What skills do you have?

[hardertheyfall]

Hand to hand combat, armed combat, survival, hunting, horseback riding, 3D maneuvering gear, climbing, reconnaissance... [ He has to stop and think if he knows anything else useful. ]

[goodbyenurse]

...Anything medicinal in nature?

[hardertheyfall]

Basic first aid. We, uh, we don't learn a lot of that. Usually when someone is hurt in the line of duty they get eaten before we can help them.

[goodbyenurse]

...I will have to teach you, then.

It is more important in a place like this than attacking someone else is. Far more, considering.

[hardertheyfall]

If you're sure...

[ He won't argue, but he doesn't believe that there's anything more he can get from first aid than from fighting. ]

[goodbyenurse]

I am very sure. The others here are not our enemies, and treating them as such does no one any good.

[hardertheyfall]

Right. Well I haven't met anyone here so far that I dislike so I think we'll be okay.

[goodbyenurse]

That is good. Enmity breeds little aside more enmity, and that is a spiral which should be avoided.

[hardertheyfall]

Right.

So where are you from? I'm guessing you didn't come from within the walls.

[goodbyenurse]

This time, I am from a place called California. I am an attorney. Before that, I was in a library where we were sorted into teams and made to play dangerous games.

[hardertheyfall]

I don't know what most of those things mean. But it sounds like you might be better off here.

[goodbyenurse]

Put simply, I have done this before. Unfortunately for us both, the sorts of talents we specialize in are less than useful here for anything but hunting.

[hardertheyfall]

Still, I'll do whatever I can. I even know one of the instructors, that should help.

[goodbyenurse]

Truly? Which one?
