I suppose introductions would be appropriate, now that the paperwork is done with...

[A tall, shirtless man with dishevelled blonde hair and cool eyes is on the other end of the feed. Dress codes? Pshaw, maybe later. His coat is just casually slung over the back of the chair. He seems restless, idly twirling the pen in his hand and shifting in his chair. When he speaks, it's with a careless British accent that sounds constantly sarcastic, somehow.]

Greetings, students and faculty! I am Liquid Snake, your new biology and public speaking teacher. What a bore... Ah, well. I suppose we do as we must.

Oh - and before I forget, this is a unique opportunity. Not since the Middle East have I found myself among such potential soldiers. Play nice, children. I'll be keeping an eye on you. If you're any good, perhaps I'll even be facing you on the battlefield...

[With a wicked little laugh, he turns it off.]

[Well that wasn't...off putting...in the very slightest. Also what the hell happened with you and your shirt. INAPPROPRIATE.]

I beg your pardon? Battlefield??

[Shirts are THE DEVIL.]

This is a school for aspiring combatants, is it not?

Aspiring fighters are different from aspiring soldiers. Some people might take your attitude as a threat.

There is no difference at all between 'soldier' and 'mercenary', or 'fighter' as you put it. And if they take it as a threat, good for them. They need to be kept on their toes.

Maybe we're from different places.

[He doesn't like his attitude, but he...can't disagree about the staying on the toes thing.]

But why biology then? Or public speaking?

I believe it is quite important for aspiring 'fighters' to have knowledge of things. Biology is important as with it, you can learn the weaknesses of the human body, as well as dispell some lies. As to the second... well. Pre-battle speeches are important.

You learn to fight best from practice, but the educational needs are important as well.
