Darius slumped into his chair behind his desk inside the registration tent. The Ferry with the new recruits was fast approaching and soon he'd be going through the usual rigamarole. Inside the tent with him were two new additions to his staff. Dr. Garret Silver, and Dexter Cobalt. The latter looked a bit strange in the overlord's uniform, though it was mostly for help and formalities sake. Dexter wasn't a part of Her majesty's forces but he did work for Hector which made him at least partially qualified to help his friends out. The two were seated on either side of the lean General. Or rather they would be, except that Cobalt had a hard time ever keeping still and was busying himself with the small teapot and hot plate set up in the corner of the room, fixing a pot of tea to hopefully calm Darius' nerves as the new recruits began flooding in. Silver couldn't help but muse at the fact that the current recruitment party for an island chain full of sentient, sapient animals, consisted of three ostensibly human officers.
"Unleash the dogs of war..." Darius sighed as Dexter handed him a cup of freshly brewed tea.
"And cats... and rabbits and deer and..." Silver stopped when Darius rendered him a sidelong look, and the Doctor held up his hands defensively. "I'm just trying to lighten the mood, I know this is stressful for you."
Darius took a sip of his tea and adjusted his picture of Rain on his desk. "It helps that I'll have help from the beginning this time around. LAst time was..."
"You were unprepared." Dexter remarked finally sitting down again and crossing his arms over his chest. He was used to more casual wear and the uniform was something he'd have to adjust to. "It didn't help Fox all but dropped you into this job without any warning.... or Training. Besides I'm looking forward to helping, and to see if it really is as trying as you made it out."
"Oh watch it will be a cake walk now and you'll wonder what all the fuss was about." Darius smirked, sipping at his tea again. "Sit tight gentlemen, I think they're coming now..."
