    Why don't you tell us what trade it is then? It may help y'know!
    ‘Once we were overpopulated. And we found that the more people there were, the more they were the same.
    It was the only way we could survive. People had always dreamed of a unified world. We thought it would be a richer one. It wasn’t.
    It meant that the Eskimo got educated and learned cost accountancy, but it didn’t mean the German learned to hunt whales with a spear.
    It meant that everyone learned how to press buttons, but no one remembered how to dive for pearls.’

    "I am a terrifying....Terrorist... Are you scared?"
    "No.."
    "God dammit! Oh, err, i mean Allah dammit..."

    "so where did you train to be a terrorist?"
    "At the Suicide Bomber facility"
    "Oh really? Nice Place?"
    "It was..."
    "Why, what happened"

    CS Ops don't need DV clearance at present - only the EW Ops going through Blandford have to get it, or anyone else going to Chicksands (Int Corps trades etc). It takes an age to do, and you have to have an interview and the like.

    The form is rather large. It then has to be filled out online too.
