Cyana didn’t know what to expect when that volus had responded to her post on that extranet board. If anything, she had expected other asari, turians, maybe a krogan, but not a volus. Maybe only a hanar was less likely. And thank the Goddess I don’t have to talk to an elcor! She thought as she looked around the café on the upper ward where she was set to meet Druss Jorkakt.
There was no volus in sight, so she just took a seat at a free table and opened her datapad, reading through the few notes she had preapared. Getting bored of reading it over and over she soon turned to a simple extranet game where one had to catch floating meteorites containing vaulables.
“Hey, hun, can I get you something?” asked a waiter, startling the young asari. “Uhm, yes, a double citro milkshake, thanks.” She knew the place and knew that it was okay price wise. Being interrupted in her game anyway, she looked around to see if her date was anywhere to be seen.

Being more than a few minutes late, Druss would likely arrive after the waitress came back with Cyana's drink. The volus would be wearing an unarmoured pressure suit, thanfully not standing out of the crowd, or drawing attention. Walking up to the table, she'd be about to climb up onto the seat, before pausing to ask "*hssk* Oh uhh, you're the student with the interview thing, right?" Going by her voice, she must have been no older than thirty, so maybe not an experienced mercenary. After undoubtedly getting confirmation, she'd climb up onto the seat.

Cyana jumped to her feet to greet the volus. “Yes, I am Cyana, nice to meet you, lease take a… oh, you do already. So, uhm, yes, I am doing this project? For the Space Law class? Like, collecting various first hand accounts of people who work in the private security biz.” She too her seat again and opened a new page on her pad.
“How are you? I hope this not inconvenient. You are of course not obliged to answer any questions. In fact, if you think certain things can’t be answered, that also a valid information for me. All of this will be anonymous and your name won’t show anywhere.” She took a sip from her milkshake. The frozen glass had been collecting moisture on the outside, she wiped it on her skirt under the table.
“Okay, uhm, if you don’t have any questions, we could start with a few questions about you? Let me see… species…. We have covered that… uhm, how old are you and how long are you the private security sector? Did you have special training before applying and if so, what kind?”

'Damnit, now I want a milkshake.' Druss quietly thinks to herself as Cyana talks, eventually realizing she was asked a question. "*hssk* Oh, uhh twenty three. About six months so far too- for the other question. I have some background in the hierarchy military." Druss paused, remembering the other questions. "*hssk* And no, I'm on my lunch break now so it's fine."

Cyana made a few notes about the facts. “Ah, uhu. This is interesting, If you don't mind, let's talk a bit about your porevious military career. So you have been in the Hierachy military? Did you serve with turian regular forces? What exactly did you do there?”
She knew the basics of the relationship between volus and the Hierachy but had no real idea a bout how the volus military worked – actually, she had not even thought about them having any since.... they were the volus? But obviously Druss had experience.

"*hssk* Well I was in EOD, also known as bomb disposal. So it was kind of back and forth between turian and vol-clan units and some mixed ones." Druss didn't elaborate much beyond that, assuming that the asari would have known about how the volus military works, clearly overestimating other species interest in her own species. She'd then think briefly about milkshakes again.

"Ahhh...." blink. "I see." Eeee Ohhh Deee.... wait... Eve Of Destruction, ah yes, fitting. She noted that down. The volus wasn't very chatty about the subject. Or generally. Cyana took a sip from her shake to have some time to think about the next questions. "So, I understand, you now work a s security guard for a company, right? Are you self employed or do you work for some larger security company? Is that your first job of the sort and how long do you work there now?" Cyana tried to figure out how she was supposed to provide statistics from just one interview. She didn't get many replies on her notes on the extranet but maybe she was doing this all wrong.

"*hssk* Self employed, company hires guards and that's it. First one- *hssk* And six months." 'Easy questions. Gods, thessia-clan were always stupid.' Druss flags the waiter down, ordering herself a milkshake finally. Turning back to Cyana after, her frozen gaze on the suit staring at her. "*hssk* Any more questions?"

"Sure!" Cyana replied enthusiastically, while taking notes. "So you're saying that you operate all by yourself and buy your own equipment? Isn't that a high investment to make before even getting a first job? And about your military experience, how is that experience helping with your current job? I mean, security guard. That doesn't sound like an awful lot of bombs to defuse, right?" She didn't know about the security situation of Cission Motors but it could not be that bad.
A waitress came over their table eventually, Cyana ordered another shake.

"*hssk* There's other guards there. We're supplied and trained by a third party PMC. Didn't I mention this to you already over the extranet? *hssk* And no, there really aren't any things to defuse, but C-Sec wasn't hiring." Lying about the C-Sec part, Druss continues. "*hssk* As for the training, it meant they hired me over some human who'd never so much as seen a gun. Or they just trust vol-clan more."

"I see, I see," Cyana mumbled as she took more notes. "What are the specifics of licensing for you? The Citadel has very strict gun control laws and what I found out so far, various licenses for private investigators or security personnel. Did you have any trouble obtaining yours?"

Opening up her omni-tool, Druss checks the time. 'I should get one of those in-suit HUDs.' "*hssk* There was a background check and a long wait to get it, but yeah. *hssk* Had to go through alot of bureaucracy things to get it." Perhaps it's clear now from her language that Druss isn't the 'smartest mercenary in the dive-bar', so to speak.

Cyana again nodded and took a few notes. This wasn’t how she had envisioned it, but that could totally be because of her questions. But somehow she had thought those merc types would be more… boasting with their abilities and spam old stories of how they singlehandedly knocked out two krogan…. She looked up and into the volus face. Uh. Probably not that one though.
Maybe it was because of volus being always so suspicious about others? She made a quick note about this idea, she would have to think about how this trait might benefit a security guard. Or maybe Druss was just the volus version of a dumb krogan bouncer?
“So, uhm, did you ever have to use your gun at this job? What where the most remarkable security incidents? No details needed if they’re confidential, just, you know, generally speaking. Neither your name nor your employer’s is on record. Just saying.”
