"Research has always been my passion, I love all of the challenges that come with it. I enjoy learning from the issues that come in the middle of my research, they only educate me more on my research topic and project. I love everything I discover all by myself from these projects. Though, lately I find myself unchallenged by all of my recent projects. But this has only encouraged me to want to learn more, I wouldn't like to accept that this is the end for me when it comes to everything I can learn and discover. If you look through my resume, you can see some of the details on my biggest break-throughs and discoveries -all of this being made possible thanks to my research and dedication. So if you would be able to, I would be grateful if you could consider me as a researcher here at Herta's Space Station."

I shakily exhale as I finish my pitch to the Herta puppet in front of me. I force myself to keep my head up high as I look into the puppets eyes, as I look for any sign of good response.

"Your resume intrigues me." The Herta puppet carefully holds my resume in its hands, looking down at it, reading it once more it seems. I carefully watch as the puppet turns its attention away from my resume, and instead turns its full attention towards me. "I cannot offer you a position as a researcher here." The puppet says plainly, handing me my resume.

"But, I can offer you a much better position -..something more tailored to your skills." I stare at the puppet, not quite understanding the words it just spoke.

"More tailored to my skills? What position are you offering me exactly?" I ask as I just feel completely lost.

"I'm offering you a high-rank security department position. In your resume you explain that you have created a couple of extremely advanced weapons and defenses for the military on another planet before." I nod my head as the puppet continues, "After recent events, we need better weapons and defenses to help better secure the Space Station. If you accept this offer, you are expected to start right away on both fixing and upgrading our defenses and weapons. We absolutely have no time to lose."

I feel myself just lighting up at this offer. Without spending another second thinking about what I've just been offered, I speak up immediately. "I accept!! I'll get to work right away, I promise Ms. Herta, you won't regret this!" I reassure her as I quickly stand up from my seat.

"Where and when do I start?" I eagerly ask her, almost jumping up and down.

"Follow me, I'll lead you to your instructor. The second I pass you off to her is when your job begins."
