Hi

Great to be here! GsG is easily my favorite manga and I'm glad there's a forum dedicated to it, I've been lurking for a while but's only been a year since I found out about Gunslinger Girl. I've come a long way in the past twelve months.

Hallo! Welcome to ze madhouse!

I always like to remind new hires of Section 3 title 44 paragraph 7 from the Staff Guidance Handbook which states that: 

"Caffeinated or sugary product, drink or otherwise similar consumable items must be kept at least 200 Meters away from the cyborgs unless she/he is with their handler. Any and all damages caused due to failure to adhere to this rule will result in the agent, whom failed to adhere, paying for any and all damages to facilities or personal."

Basically keep the espressos away from Rico, and we shall be fine...for the most part.

Someone will be by with your forms, make sure to fill them out in triplicate.

Happy Cyborg Central Foruming!

Hey there! Welcome to the forum! You've finished the Manga then?

Welcome. Draw a pair of sidearms from the armory after you fill out all those forms. Then look over the 'candidate' list for a 'borg.

Yep. Finished it last year around Christmas.

Welcome to the nut house.  Don't worry I've had my shots... I think.....

*Sounding a bit bored* Hello, welcome to the SWA.


*Drops large stack of forms on the counter* You'll need to fill those out, initial each page as you read it and sign where directed... not just yet, I have to read you the riot act.

Any action made, purposeful, accidental, implied or otherwise, which may reveal the nature of the SWA will be considered an act of hostility against the Italian government, its people, and its allies, and punishable without trial. The cyborgs may be tough, but they're still just girls at heart, do not break them, they do not grow on trees. Damages including, but not limited to, physical, psychological and material, incurred outside operations, and/or falling beyond reasonable wear and tear, will be deducted from your salary.

In seriousness though: welcome, feel free to get stuck in.

Thanks. And as a firefighter I'm very familiar with government forms.

Welcome and very happy to have you aboard this crazy train!
