[Taylor's heard about how there are people on board that other people recognise from fictional material, from history or just plain alternates of each other. But this is the first time she'd encountered one she really knows, and it means she just stares at the camera for a long moment, wondering just what the hell she's meant to do with King Arthur.
Except maybe just deal with it and answer his inquiry instead of staring at him like an idiot.]
Are you asking to sign up to SEC? Nanites - the tattoos - they only let you join one department, but communications might still let you volunteer.
[ he pauses, not sure if he's supposed to provide some further reference, some proof of — birth, or. Ability. ]
A man named Soy Sauce pointed me in your direction.
[ that's all he's got. he gives an amused huff. ]
But yes, I've decided on Security. Learning all that communications business with the machines may take, er, a while. I mostly want to help Petrelli look a little less overworked, if that's possible.
[Maybe not precisely true, but taking little digs at Petrelli was something of a pastime of hers, now. Still, she nods at the mention of Soy Sauce, and normally she'd run recruits through a skills assessment, but... King Arthur. Camelot.]
I'm gonna send you through the link for the sign up sheet. [Which she attaches, right then.] You put your name down there, your tattoo will change within the next day. Then you come by the offices and we give you your shifts and patrols.
[A pause. He wasn't the first person she'd signed up that fought with a sword, but there were still certain disadvantages.]
Might want to get you some training with gunnery, too.
[That has her smile back, slightly. It is something she already knows, the amount of sleep she's been losing on the TQ.]
We wouldn't know how to deal, we suddenly started getting too much of it.
[It would leave her just waiting for the other shoe to drop, really.]
Prefer we didn't get reason to use weapons at all, but most people up here are used to guns or nastier. We end up needing you against someone like that, sword isn't gonna count for much.
[ arthur snorts, thinks perhaps that's true enough. spending his days idle, while perhaps something he'd daydreamed of back home, holds far less appeal now he has the opportunity to do so if he'd like to. ]
Fair enough. I suppose if Soy Sauce is willing I'll have him teach me. I'm already proficient with a crossbow, and from the description they're surely not so different.
Got a bit more kick. And they're louder. [And there's only really one place he can learn: the shooting range, which gunnery is in charge of.] He can show you, but Gunnery might want in on it.

Think he likes looking like that, actually.

[ he leans in, whispers at the communicator even though that is a really spectacularly pointless thing to do. ]
All leaders who overwork themselves have a secret fondness for sleep.
[ and then he's drawing back, smiling slightly, nodding. ]
Ah yes. Soy Sauce did also mention guns. I'll never object to learning a new weapon, but I think I prefer my sword.
