[omnilinguist]

Monsieur d'Epinay, are you still looking for tech personnel?

[hisdiscretion]

There are still some openings. Do you have much prior experience with computers?

[omnilinguist]

I am a programmer, currently a self-employed video game designer.

[hisdiscretion]

Excellent. As you may know, I'm personal assistant to Raul Creed, the head of security at Lion's Gate. I'll be asking you a few questions to discern your suitability for the job.

[omnilinguist]

Of course. I assume it will be recorded?

[hisdiscretion]

Due to the method of communication, these conversations will be saved to the NV. However, Monsieur Creed will be reviewing my notes on the interview on those I present to him as good candidates. We'd likely only keep a recording if we ended up hiring you, for our records.

[omnilinguist]

Understood. Feel free to begin your questions.

[hisdiscretion]

First off, can I have your name? And then please tell me a little about your skills, and, if applicable, how you use them in your daily life.

[omnilinguist]

My name is Doug Ramsey. I am a mutant with the ability to understand and decipher any language. Computers are nothing but, though I worked with them before discovering my abilities.

For now, I simply work as a programmer and use my skills however necessary in the aid of my companions.

[hisdiscretion]

It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Monsieur Ramsay.

Would you say you're the type who plays well with others, or do you prefer to work alone?

[omnilinguist]

I'm used to working on a team and have an easy time reading others. Neither scenario would be difficult.

[hisdiscretion]

What exactly do you mean by having an easy time reading others? [It's evident by the interest in his voice that this isn't one of his prepared questions.]

[omnilinguist]

It's a talent of mine.

[hisdiscretion]

Huh. [This is moment's pause where Franz is tilting back in his chair and chewing on his pen.]

--Would you say this talent has affected your work positively or negatively?

[omnilinguist]

That would depend on who you ask, but I consider it an asset more than a hindrance.
