One of the more pleasant types of announcements I make here...

What with the events of the last few weeks, certain small niceties have dropped by the wayside. Understandable, but a shame, and I may be heading out of town shortly, but I wanted to rectify the lapse before I did.

We have a number of new trainees to welcome aboard. Marius, Jennie, Kyle, Janet, and Forge will be working with us. I'm sure you'll all make yourselves available to answer any questions they may have, and as training partners when I do get a new rotation drawn up.

For our new trainees - you now have full access to the database, including all of the training material and past missions. I'd suggest reading everything you can get your hands on, for a better understanding of what we do around here. One note, though - it's not kind to mock the follies of your elders. Some of us have heard all too many jokes about quicksand and coatracks and the like.

And on that note... trainee names, anyone?

Hey, I read a post back here that says your trainee name was Hummingbird.

Terry is mildly delusional; I was never a trainee.

So you didn't have the funky grey uniform?

That would seem to go with never having been a trainee, wouldn't it? You and the Laverne boy can discover the joys of literacy together, won't that be fun.

This is probably gonna get me in trouble, but you're not a teacher, and I don't think they'll let you train us.

So.

BITE ME.

Ah, I see an immediate problem here. You project lack of education onto that which was merely cheekiness. It is an important distinction, and I'll have you know I am quite hurt by your failure to grasp it. It is quite within my capacity to be both an idiot and fully literate. As opposed to yourself, who, with all due respect, appears to be in some difficulty sustaining both wit and actual sense of humour.
