"Like I said, there isn't really much to it. My parents trained me well and gave me good tutors, so I had the prerequisite skills at a young age. Actually, I joined at the absolute youngest age the agency would allow. From there, well, then my real training began. Most who are accepted end up being discharged before completing their training due to the difficulty of it all. The Rahn'Masser are the best among us for a reason," Rareth answered. "As for my reason for joining, well, I suppose it wasn't that much different from any other applicants. The Rahn'Masser are the best and last line of defense we have against any threat. It is a great honor and privilege to be able to serve in that capacity. Not to mention the pay is quite...substantial. As I'm sure you know, hazard pay in our culture tends to be significant. Of course, the people who try to join for just the pay tend to be the same people who leave during training. The work we do is not for the selfish, or frightful."

Rareth continued to speak with the others for an hour or so until they all started to split off to claim their own rooms. Just as she said, Rareth went to the suite next door and claimed one of the rooms next to Shiva's. As soon as she was inside, she turned the temperature up to a level that would give a Masulu heat stroke and allowed her body to bask in the warmth for a few hours while she watched television from the comfort of her bed. 

The next two days were uneventful, and honestly rather boring, which Rareth supposed was a good and bad thing. At least no major arguments had sprung up in the group while they were sharing living space. Depending on the size of ship their team was assigned to, they could potentially be stuck in close proximity to one another for weeks at a time, with no way out. While on Pax, they were free to leave the building at any point to relax and get away, but that would not be the case while on a ship in FTL. Nevertheless, just as planned, on the second day, Rareth awoke to the annoying buzzing sound of a priority alert on her room's computer. She dragged herself out of bed to check it, even if she already knew what it was about. It was an official message sent to each of theirs rooms, ordering them to report to a meeting room all the way down on the 32nd floor in an hour and a half. Rareth turned the heat up in her room to help wake her up, then slowly got dressed in a different formal suit, this time a blue one with red markings on the shoulders and thighs. 

As she required time to warm up in the morning, Rareth was unsurprisingly not the first one awake in her suite. Shiva was awake in the living room, so Rareth decided to start off the day with a friendly greeting. "Good morning, Shiva. Have you already had breakfast, or should I make something?" She offered.
