Message: <blockquote data-quote="perrinmiller" data-source="post: 5177273" data-attributes="member: 88649">Kara replies sounding like she is quoting from the employee handbook, "  We work for a group known by most people as the Department for Archeological Studies, however that is a code name, DAS actually stands for the Department for Arcane Security.  Its goal is to protect the world from threats that most people do not know even exist, and would laugh if they were told about them."    "It is the job of the DAS agents to protect people from things they won't and perhaps can't admit exist.  It is us who hunt down vampires and trolls.  All the time we do this with the people around us never aware of what we are doing or what we are protecting them from."    "Also many of the things we are expected to do are not legal.  We will at times be expected to bend and even clearly break the law to get the job done.  Most governments don't have a legal distinction between Vampire, Troll and normal human.  So if we are sent out to stop a troll we will very likely be committing murder from a legal standpoint."    Then her tone becomes normal and conversational, "Teyla, this is what we signed up for and we were given the option to decline the job offer.  It sounds like we are the ones that get contracted for just this sort of thing instead of the CIA and FBI.  I am not really sure if we can buck the system on our first job, probably not on our second either.  From what we learned thus far, actually talking to these orcs could result in being on the receiving end of violence directed our way.  Me, I'm too delicate and fragile for that.  If I have to go poking at an angry bear, I prefer to do it with a tranq gun from as far a way as possible.  But if it makes you feel better, perhaps Rodny can do some research with his laptop on our employer if he has free time tomorrow."With this she stretches her arms above her head and yawns.</blockquote>
