Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rai yawned as he walked through the forest alone, with his bow strapped on his back. He scanned the area for anyone but found nothing and just kept walking.

Brian was actually rather pleased. It was increasingly interesting what came down on his computer:
"Well, as for now, I have created myself a little workschedue. I would really like to improve this business a bit, but only within the limits of what you allow. Because, quite frankly, all these worried looks on your face will give you wrinkles before you turn thirty.
Now, my first priority would be to increase the computing performance of the station, keep the security a bit straighter, and actually do some stuff that the admin of the station seems to have forgotten. I really want to surprise you with the details, but just that much: they will be a bit longer. I will explain the details of all operations in a quiet day with you... and trust me, your days will be more quiet from now on.
My work will generate some revenue, which I am willing to nearly completly donate to the station, and to the general fund. As for now,I would say, 1000 $ a month. Which wil be spend, 990 $ per month to you, and 10 $ to me and the staff. Just a liddle nod if you have understood me? OOk, I take this as a yes, I will just get some printer, and will need a signature at a later time. The details will get in the final contract.
Second of all....."
He scratched himself a bit on the head. How could he explain it properly....
"Ook, as you may have noticed, my problems mainly ly at two points. First, I lack physical poweress to master nearly all weapons and forms of battle. Second, I am not a triggerhappy trigerfinger. Now, I would like you to allow me to do some research and some greasemonkey work in my spare time on how I can make sure that I can provide some weapons support that actually is wellplaced and thoughtfully employed. You may not believe it, Commander, but actually i keep looking foreward to some field-work.
Third of all, I would like to experiment a bit with the soldiers in service, to find out what they need, and what they are able to do. I would therefor only work with volunteers, and would only access their time if they are not on a mission, and are on spare time.
Fourth of all, I would like to enhance the networking for the officers, or upper ranks of the staff. Meaning, I will install a lot of equipment with them that will make their lifes easier, their methods more efficient, and will make it veeery easy for you to personally or automatically thank every one of them for their glorious efforts for the company, equal to whereever they are, or whatever the time is.
Now, forth and last, I would like to do something against some of the more complex themes of inefficiently delivered reports, mission endings that are no real ones, and various other complex topics.
Now, as for the timetable for this operation, I would say...... one week?
basically, I would like funds in the height of what you see fitting, the written ok that I may perform my tasks if I do not seriously disturb the usual proccedures of the company, and access to all areas. Nice would be if I could freely take whatever ressources I see fit, in height of that budget, as long as i make sure that they are replaced again. "
He stopped typing, grinned, folded the screen down, and turned it around while he got a stylo out of his pocket. The screen showed two dotted lines, with a scrolling-bar on the side that indicated much more to come. One of them was decorated with his signature.
"Ok, this is a Praeorder constructive number seven. If you sign, you give me your ok to begin with the work and actually do the work.
Through my signature, I state that i will accomplish the tasks as I see fit, and I will uphold the previously discussed regulations. If you should see my solutions somewhat unfit for your enetrprise, I accept that I have to replace the granted funds through my own money, and have to remove the changes immediatelly, again under the same conditions.
You only accept the changes if you state after the after-project meeting, in which I will show you all changes in detail, through written word that you accept the changes, and are willing to pay the funds. "
He cursed himsef silently, as his headphones and his not really silent Ipod started to play the imperial march , but he ignored it for better effect, hoping that the commander would overhear it. Grinning, he added:
"OOh, and I would like to recruit members of the organisation that voluntarily accept it in their spare time for the services. Are that agreeable conditions? If yes, please sign, I disappear, I do not waste any of your precious recreational time no more, and I reappear in exactly one weeks time. "
He smiled at her, and noted with glee, that the Ipod, without touching, had switched itself to the theme of the exorcist, one of his favourite movies. He grinned at her, looked her in the eye, and tried not to blink for as long as possible. Then, he noticed her expression, and quickly added:
"Oh, why the signature? I just happened to be top of the year in the corporate law club, and found it better to actually assure you my fullest cooperation in a professional way. Of course, it is also possible for you to just allow me what I see fit, and later inform me of the consequences, but I found out that it is usually better for both partys if we cooperate at an acceptable professional way. It all depends on your likening...."
He smied very friendly, and waited for the Commanders response.

(I g2g for the weekend... Going to my bro's college.)

Chibi spied a small butterfly, and smiles. Perfect...

She holds her hand out, and the butterfly lands gently on her finger. She brings it close to her mouth, smiling softly. After a moment, the butterfly flies off, weaving in and out of the nearby trees.

"I should know all of the details in a few moments, now..." she thought, smilling at the insect.

The butterfly flies back over towards Ruki, landing on her shoulder. She smiled at it for a few seconds, then thinks, "Ok, so there are about four or five men, not very musclar, each armed with a few small daggers and a sword each. Sounds like typical theives, to me."

Anima laughed then grinned, then he rushed forward. "Your going to regret allowing me to have the first move."

Anima then jumped into the air and kicked his foot off the wall sending him flying right towards the rookie's back.

Anima then landed behind him and kicked at the backs of his knees.
