Genom instead?
All right, this begged to be done: a Pro/Con list. Genom or the Knight Sabers?
Option One: Genom's newest management fast-tracker.
PROS:
Get to wear cool dark suits.
Constantly being surrounded by Boomers you can use to blow up stuff.
The near Godlike power has GOT to be good for the ego.
The possibility of sleeping with Madigan.
After narcing on the KS, get big promotion.
Always a chance you could be the next Largo.
The view from the tower.
CONS:
It's GENOM, for crying out loud!
Subservient to withered old man in a bad shirt.
The possibility of getting shot by Madigan.
Oh no. She only shoots important government officials.
Odds are good you'll wind up on the wrong end of knuckle bomber.
Not as long as you show some discretion. The only GENOM employees who
bit it are ones who killed Doctor Stingray. So as long as you remember
not to kill people named "Stingray", you should be safe enough, even
though 4 girls in
Always a chance you could be the next Largo.
It's GENOM!!!!
Yeah? So? It's not like GENOM's all bad. Heck, Sylia sometimes
works for Genom and they killed her father and her puppy.
The chief problem of course is that about the only thing you'd have
to trade on is your knowledge of the Knight Sabres and you don't want
to take them on. (Mind you in fanfiction, getting all the KS
slaughtered isn't exactly rare. Fandom takes some strange forms.)
Option 2: Apprentice Knight Saber-in-training.
PROS:
NOT Genom.
Get to wear cool hardsuit.
Assuming of course that you actually _like_ walking around in
elevator high-heels.
Better hours.
Access to Mackie's video collection.
Or a chance to star in said video collection.
The warm, fuzzy feeling you get whenever you waste a boomer.
At least ONE of them will probably date you.
Even if you're a girl. As I've pointed out before, there is
a certain prerequisite to joining the KS as a field operative.
Of course being KS support staff wouldn't be all bad, and actually
more plausible for a self-insert, except that you don't get to be
a star.
Free tickets to Priss' next concert.
CONS:
That annoying sense of justice that makes you keep taking jobs for free.
Sylia might hurt you.
Priss WILL hurt you.
Those suits chafe really badly.
Linna will suck you dry of all your cash.
No, that's Nabiki.
Possibility of pulling a shift behind the register at Silky Doll.
There's a possibility I'm wrong about the suits chafing, but I doubt it.
