And what is so fun about it (similar to what you mention) is the conversation between Michaela and Liesel. Liesel has heard the stories but doesn't know the details. Michaela doesn't really believe it.
They are just simple girls. They would have no way to comprehend the technology about to be used on them. They cannot image a weapon that by touching their bodies their CNS and brains will be shut down. Or that someone can use their blood to become an exact copy of them. Heck, they probably don't even know they have something called a Vagus Nerve.
That is what I love. Michaela and Liesel are just young, naive and basically innocent (though they did pick an evil employer) girls who have no idea what they are up against. They are such an easy target for Miranda and Nadja.
I can picture the scene, after they get released from prison and enrol in the SI, its the first day of boot camp and the SI drill Sergeant is giving them a crash course in SI tech. She holds up the mimic gun and demonstrates it. Michaela says. " So That's how it works." Then Liesel thumps her in the chest. "I told you so, dunkoff."
I think the poor girls, like so many before them were looking for directions and purpose. Darkwatch preyed on their Naviete. But they will find the SI to be a much better employer.
So they actually hold the sentries in prison for awhile even though they are basically just employees. Guess they can’t be too careful and need to confirm they are not true believers in Darkwatch
They undergo a series of vetting procedures, psychological profiling, and testing to see if they are true believers or just naive innocent girls lured into a job with poor pay, uniforms and the chance to see the world. Its to make sure that none of them are sleeper agents.
Generally what the SI was found is that Darkwatch sentries are innocent naive girls, given the barest minimum of training, just so they can shoot straight, and operate front line equipment. They are then booted out the front door, and told to guard or fight for a neo- fascist terrorists for hire outfit, who considers them expendable, and have no knowledge of Darkwatch's ulterior motives. They are not really loyal and often flee at the first sign of danger or surrender, generally if there isn't an officer around.
Officers are drawn from experienced ex military professionals, generally those who have dropped out or have spotty records. They are a mixed bag, some are loyal others are not. They take longer to vet.
Assassins are the most deadly, ruthless and loyal of the organisation. They are mostly ex-special forces who are either category six or been dishonourably discharged from service, as such they have no qualms about murdering civilians to achieve their goals, especially to acquire disguises. They are extremely loyal and few have been successfully turned. So far only two Darkwatch assassin's have shown any remorse for their actions, and have been successfully integrated into the SI family.
