Out of curiosity, how many of you have a training or a specialty? It doesn't have to be necessarily related to combat or weapons, of course, but being able to drink everyone on the Barge under the table - though commendable - doesn't count.

[She imagines combat/weapon-related ones will be the most popular, but she'd still like to know how much of a diversity (or lack thereof) there is.]

Out of further curiosity, what is it?

[There are enough smart-asses on board she thinks would just say they have training and leave it at that.]

And for those that don't have any, why not?

It is not so much good or bad as normal or not normal. Normal things are okay, not normal things are hard to make happen.

This is annoying when normal is stupid.

[pvtparts]

But who decides what's normal and what's not?

[spetsnaz]

Everyone lazy.

[pvtparts]

Well then, it shouldn't be so hard to circumvent them if they're lazy. You just have to know where to look.

[spetsnaz]

I am Russian. Russians very good at few things: being fucked over, being stupid and to not back down with fucking over, and we are also good for drinking.

I am unusual Russian because I am likely not to drink especially while to fuck over someone else before they fuck over me.

[pvtparts]

Lucky for your country then that you are so unusual.

[spetsnaz]

No, I retire and become security consultant.

[pvtparts]

You can still do your country proud being a security consultant.

[spetsnaz]

I think probably proud is not accurate.

[pvtparts]

What would you call it then?

[spetsnaz]

Country does not notice me.

But if it did, I would be in jail probably.

[pvtparts]

Well then it should be extremely proud of you.

[Not even being sarcastic.]

[spetsnaz]

No.

[ Being extremely honest, in this case.

He fucked up. He knows. ]

[pvtparts]

Are you betraying your country?

[spetsnaz]

Instead of having shit together, shit very much not together. That is betrayed.

[pvtparts]

Not sure I follow.

[spetsnaz]

Situation was not under control.

[pvtparts]

Did you fix it?

[spetsnaz]

I was removed in middle of everything goes to shit.

[pvtparts]

I guess you better get to work here.

[spetsnaz]

This I am doing.

[pvtparts]

Good.

[spetsnaz]

Do you have other question?

[pvtparts]

Not right now. You?
