You know...when I was a kid man, I didn't realize how lucky I was. I mean, my parents stuck together through thick and thin. My dad was a mechanic and my mom was a school teacher and we had a dog and...wow the American dream huh?
But since being here and meeting people I guess...I'd like to pass on that dream you know? Make things better. So I'm looking for work.
I do mostly computer programming and [he beams] I will happily demonstrate my skills.
[Warden Filter]
I join the ranks of people who want to learn self defense.
No guns. I just want to know how to protect myself? I can offer a trade guys.

I'm not reporting that you bit me, because I know it wasn't your fault man. Instead, we're going to have a little chat.
Here's the skinny.
You get a job, any job, and I will design a video game to your specifications. It'll be a computer game and if the admiral's nice he might translate it to this X...box...thing.
Maybe...[he looks uncomfortable] We can play together.
You want gore, you've got gore. Whatever you want, and you can play it any time you want. [Of course, the caveat is that you put a toe out of line, and the game goes away] It'll take me about two weeks and probably be the simplest game in the world, but we can always add new levels and stuff.
...can't let you set people on fire, but you know-figured it might remind you of home.

I need some basic programming books man. Uh..circa recent? I'm pretty sure I can catch up on it quickly.
