"Work ya sorry piece of crap. Just gave yer ye tune up last week." Murph swore at his computer as he slammed against the keypad. Only to be face with a mocking error message on the screen. "Jesus Christ. What's the matter with ya yer feckin' hunk a metal." He slammed the computer again only to be faced with another error message. "Ok. Tha's it." Murphy growled as he slammed down his fist on the desk and pointed a finger at where he laid the mini computer down. "Listen ta me ya piece o' shite. Either ya gonna get back to work right now or I'm gonna take ye apart and melt down what's left of yer ye hunk of scrap." The computer screen bleeped once before numbers and symbols started flitering down the screen. "Tha's better." Murphy muttered as he lit the cigarette that had been dangling from his lips.
Once that was done he twirled around and faced the trainee that had been shown in earlier. "This the new recruit then?" He asked the overseer. Before the overseer could answer however his comm bleeped and he held out his hand in a request for them to give him a moment.
"Murph here." He smiled a bit and looked at the mini comp as it finished running it's diagnostic. "Heya Ma. Nae. I'm fine." He turned the device off and tinkered a bit with it. "Aye, yeah ma I'm eating enough. Ya worry to much ya know. How's everyone else?" He was silent a few more seconds as he flipped the device open and tinkered with it. "Ya allways say that." He dropped the cigarette and lit up a new one. "Jesus Christ ma, I'm 25. I can smoke if I want ta. I'm no' a babe." He winced slightly at her sharp reply. "Aye, ma. I'm sorry." His lips twitched into a slight smile. "Aye, Aye. Nae, I'm stayin' out o'trouble. Ya know I'm a good boy." His grin turning slightly wicked. "Tha' was never proven and ya know it." He chuckled. "Aye." He smiled again as he closed the device again and turned it on again. Noting it was working properly this time. "Aye. I'll call ya next week." He took a drag of his cigarette and flicked the stray ashes away. "Aye ma, love ya too. Try to keep uncle Seamus out o'trouble alright." He chuckled again and touched his communication device.
"Sorry about that. The names Murphy. I'm guessing I'm ta be yer new trainer." He stated, holding out his hand to the new recruit.

Dylan was about 99% sure that she was looking at a real life hobo. He looked like he shopped in the charity stores. He was on the phone – or whatever – smoking (didn’t he know that could give him cancer?), working with some teeny computer that she was sure needed one minor adjustment to work properly. The guy who’d led her there was built like the Hulk, and now she was facing off with Reed Richards himself.
Oh, and he was apologising to his ma. Any respect she may have held for hobo man had just dropped into negative figures.
He said some bull about his Uncle Seamus – he was so irish, she felt like he might suddenly chat about leprechauns any second now – as she looked around the lab. It was, put simply, a tip. Random electricals everywhere, some important-looking technology littered about, and, rather worryingly, fresh doughnuts on the counter. They could be poisoned. Or maybe nice people just donated stuff to super-Irish-hobo-Reed Richards.
He put the phone-thing down and looked at her. "Sorry about that. The names Murphy. I'm guessing I'm ta be yer new trainer."
Oh, no, wait. Was she supposed to understand that? It was like gibberish. And everyone claimed Irish accents were so cool, as well!
She looked at him, then the lab, then him again.
“You have got to be kidding me.”

"Why would I be kiddin' ya on a thing like tha'?" He asked in slight confusion. Not dropping his hand just yet. "So what's yer name then?"

Dylan blinked at him. "Uhhhh, never mind," she said quickly and shiftily. "Dylan. Dylan Fletcher."

No, thanks, I'mma call you Reed ... Dylan thought to herself as she went back to eyeing the lab with that, 'I don't want to be here,' look on her face.
Tonii nodded, taking a step back. "Yeah, pretty much. Any questions?" Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "No? Good. have fun, and don't kill her. See ya." With a rather jaunty wave, Tonii left the lab.
Dylan now looked rather worried at the final sentiment of not getting killed. Great.

"Aye aye, boss. I'll see ya later then." He teased with a laugh. "I'll save yer a beer." He then looked at Dylan. "So what can ye do." He asked, looking at Dylan.

Dylan gave him a dead look. "I can party until six in the morning, carry seven bottles of a vodka, three bottles of wine and four six-packs of beer in one hand and walk in six-inch heels. Any of that gonna help you?"

"Well, I'll know who to call when I'm gonna throw a party, then." Murph answered good naturedly. "Was thinking more along the lines of science however. Assuming yer interested?"

"Ye want to learn?" He asked simply. Sitting back in his seat, cigarette dancing from his lips.

Dylan blinked at him, then took barely a moment to consider the question. "Not really," she said honestly. "They sent me here 'cause I'm good at it - the making-bombs crap, not the stuff you learn at school - but it doesn't mean I want to."

"What do yer want then?" He asked curiously. Frowning as his comp bleeped. He looked it over again before nodding at it. Satisfied it was working as it should now. He tossed it aside and focused back on her.

"To not be here," Dylan said simply. She paused. "Oh, no, well, actually, I have to be here or some shit's gonna go down at home. But, still. I don't want to be running around with stupid stupid sim-guns and trying to be better than a bunch of dorks."

Dylan blinked at him, frowned slightly, and shrugged. "Well, first, I'd like a cigarette," she said innocently, "considering people usually frown at you when you smoke and all."

He shrugged and offered her one. He had plenty and far be it for him to tell her what she was and wasn't allowed to do. "Allrigh' Ye got any questions fer me then. Before we start talkin' on wha' you're doin' here in me lab."

Dylan pulled a lighter out of her pocket (the same pocket in which she kept all her worldly effects - an iPod and a phone), and lit the cigerette. She shrugged. "Sure. Why do look like a hobo?" Well, she might as well get it out now before everything else, or she'd end up wondering about it forever.

He frowned again. "Wha'?" He asked. That was not the question he had been expecting.
