Velox entered a new room through the door that the anthro had indicated. Inside was a man sitting at a table, and he had a tablet in front of him, scrolling through lists of data. As the door slid shut behind Velox, the man looked up. "Please have a seat." I sit in the only available chair, across the table from the man. "I'm Hank Clayton, the person who will be assigning you a position." He looked down at the tablet and continued, "Velox is it?" He looked back up.
"Very close, sir," I answered. "The e is a long e and the o has an awe sound, so it's Vee-lawcks."
"Ah. I apologize. I continuously have difficulty determining how to pronounce the names of other races. Anyway, you did extremely well, even compared to others of your specific type. You are a swift fox feralli, I believe?" Velox nods in agreement, preferring not to speak until directly asked. "Your strength was above average for your type, though nothing amazing. Your speed on the other hand was quite impressive. Previous dexterity, agility, and balance tests have also proven that it's nearly impossible to make you fall too. The only thing we didn't test personally was your endurance, but because we have official records of you winning marathons we decided that was unnecessary. Do you have anything else to add." I shook my head no, to worried that my voice might give away my excitement. Hank continued, "Then I suppose there's not much else to say. You're clever in your use of forms and paths you take, and clearly physically capable. We'd like to put you on an infiltrator squad. It will likely be a three man team with some other-dimensional races. We'll contact you for your introduction within a few days." Hank laid the tablet on the table and stood. I followed his lead and shook his hand when he reached out. After that I left, heading for home.
