Simon rocked on his heels, impatiently. He was standing in what seemed to be a large gymnasium, in one of the many safehouses Wild Space Corp. had set up all over the place. He had been told to report here for 'assessment', whatever that meant. All he had been told was 'be ready for a workout', thus the fact he was dressed in his workout clothes, and 'don't antagonize her'. Who 'her' was remained a mystery, but Simon supposed he'd find out soon enough. Besides, he'd yet to meet a woman he couldn't charm. He just wished she'd get here already!

Suzie had been here for a few minutes getting changed into tracky bottoms and a tank top. So, this was the new guy she was supposed to deal with. She walked into the room and smiled at the blonde guy at the other side of it.
"Simon Everest?" She asked.

Simon snapped to attention. Finally! This must be the one he wasn't supposed to antagonize. Though what such an attractive redhead could have done to merit such a warning was beyond him. "That's me!" He said, cheerfully, extending a hand for her to shake. "Nice to meet you, Miss...?"

"Suzie," She smiled taking his hand "Everest, seems a fitting name considering your abilities,"
~Yes, I know his names Everett she just can't remember his name~ Cross

He noticed the mistake, and gave a small grin. "Everett, Miss Suzie." He said, maintaing the image of perfect politeness. He found that being painfully polite was always the best way to start. "Not Everest. But a lot of people make that mistake." He gave her a nice, firm handshake before releasing. "So, what exactly are we doing here? I wasn't told much."

"I'm here to see if you're up to the job," She said "Apparently that's a one of a kind armour, not like Clarke's rentboys or the medic beetles," Suzie stepped back and started to walk around him "I need to see if you're up for the job,"

Simon grinned, his natural instinct to showoff starting to override his common sense. "Up to the job? Me? You don't need to worry about that." He cracked his knuckles, his trademark ear-to-ear grin growing on his face. "Simon Everett is always up to the job. I can handle anything." The confidence - almost arrogance - in his voice was so thick you could almost taste it.

Oh ... he was a twit. Suzie's smile grew, she was going to enjoy messing with him.
"Well, first we need to test you without the help of your armour so, if you could just stay there for a second," She turned around and started looking through a store cupboard.

Without his armor? Simon shrugged. He'd taken self-defence classes for a reason, hadn't he? And besides which, he'd gotten into more than a few brawls, and come out on top. He ALWAYS came out on top. That's who he was. His only worry was that he didn't like the idea of hitting attractive women, so he hoped she wouldn't ask to spar. Still grinning his confident grin, he watched her silently, rocking back on forth on his heels impatiently.

There was a small giggle from within the store cupboard followed by Suzie shouting.
"Think fast!"
And then spinning around and throwing a medicine ball at his face.

Simon wasn't prepared to have a medicine ball thrown at his face. He was, however, prepared for a fight, and his instincts took over. His fists came up automatically, and his right hand shot out in a vicious right cross, deflecting the ball. There was a moment as he held the pose, before yelping in pain and shaking his hand. "Guess I was supposed to catch that, huh?" He asked, slightly sheepish but still grinning. "'Least I hit it."

"No, no I was just trying to see how you respond to stuff being thrown at you," She said with a small smile.
She tossed a cricket ball at him as fast as she could.

Simon was ready this time. His hands came up and caught the ball, bringing it into his chest like a baseball player catching a long drive. He gave grunt as the momentum of the ball hit his chest, and glared at Suzie. "That hurt, you know. You could hurt someone with one of these."

"People are going to try and hurt you," Suzie said in a very patronising way as she tossed a cricket bat at his head.

Simon's instincts took over again; he dropped the cricket ball and knocked the cricket bat away with a right hook. Good grief, this woman was a psycho. "Don't patronize me." He growled, his smile giving way to a frustrated frown. "Pardon me for assuming we'd be trying not to injure our teammates."
