[ Yeah, she looks really offended? But she relaxes after a moment and hands him a clipboard. ]

Here you go. Just... follow the directions there to the letter. And try not to get mauled horribly, yeah?

Guns are in the cabinet over there. Don't get too ambitious. You don't want to wrench your arm out of your shoulder socket from the recoil.

[He takes the clipboard and checks the directions. Greaaaaaaat he's going to die.

With a nod Aiden heads to the cabinet and opens it. He's never held a gun in his life. Which one is he supposed to pick? The smallest handgun would work. Yeah. This'll be good.]

[zoomied]

Hey, tip, stranger! [ Janey's watching him. God, he's going to die. ] Open any loot crates ya find. There's usually some help in there; just stab yourself with the glowy red thingy and you'll be all healed up.

Oh, and if you do die, it'll be fine. New-U Stations exist for a reason!

[Aiden Rowen. Died as he lived. Pathetically.]

Stab? Like one of those allergy pens? [He's shivering out of fear.] I'd rather avoid using one of those.....

[zoomied]

I have no idea what an allergy pen is. Sorry, guy.

[eventempers]

That makes you lucky. Seen a guy use one on Helios, and wow, that is not a way I'd want to spend my life.

[He's trying to get used to the feel of this gun. It's still heavier than he'd like.] How many bullets does this thing have?

[zoomied]

Helios, eh? Bigshot!

[ She holds out her hand. ]

Give it here and I'll tell ya.

[eventempers]

Not really. Just an accountant.

[Okay. She knows her guns, so he hands it over.]

I just know you point the shooting end at a person and it kills them. Hopefully.

[zoomied]

Looks like your little pistol here can hold about 800 bullets. Better stock up. There's some ammo around here somewhere.

Name's Janey Springs, by the by!

[eventempers]

[Wait. What. No way. That little thing?

Color him impressed.] That is so cool...

[Sounds kinda cute.] Aiden Rowen.

[zoomied]

Yeah, I can't explain it either. [ SHRUG. ] Just the way things work, yeah?

Nice to meet you, Aiden! Now, get out there and do some work! Oh-- [ Here's an ECHO device for you. ] So you're not completely lost.

[eventempers]

Maybe there's some perks to being here.

[He takes it and looks it over.] I feel like they should have given me one of these things before I left Helios.

[zoomied]

Ehhhh, those guys don't know what they're doing half the time. Run around like kraggons with their heads cut off.

[eventempers]

Tell me about it. Fake gun fights? I don't leave my office when they play that game.

[Mostly because, wow, Vasquez cheated left and right.]
