It’s the best job ever.  Lots of chances for fun, just don’t touch the Master’s pets.  Put a finger on the old guy – you die.  The Freak is invitation-only.  I’d love to watch a session.  Techs are all off-limits.  Pity.  Turner in engineering looks like a poof who’d jump if you gave him a hard look.  We can’t even talk to the admin staff.  There’s one real hottie --  snobby university bitch, but I bet I could make her moan.  Maybe she’ll make a mistake, piss ’im off.  A bloke can dream, yeah? 

Nobody calls Jimmy Stone a loser now.

Not only are your writing skills remarkable, but you're inventive and clever - and curious about the very world you've created, as evidenced by the twists you have decided to employ. Bravo for seeing exactly the kind of person who'd do well under The Master.

Thank you! Most of the guards are of the tough military variety -- competent, obedient, and good at maintaining security. And then there are the thugs, who are fun to have around, and very useful for certain purposes.

My mood reads "surprised" because I did not know the name of this guard until the very last minute. The lightbulb flashed, the choir sang, and I slapped my forehead and proclaimed my amazing ignorance.

And, if it isn't too rude to give concrit to a review, your last sentence should begin with "Brava". I am female. :-)

Not a problem - one is never too old to get more concrit!
