He considers for a moment, then shrugs. "Sniping's not the first thing I'd think of? But part of that's 'cause, I'll be honest, I'm really a lousy shot. I make up for it by closing range, but then the gun usually gets knocked out of my hand after a couple shots and I have to take the fight to Fist City." And quite the fist he has. "A sniper could be useful, though, and I take it you guys have other combat skills besides. If you're good with fancy tech stuff, I'm sure that'll come in handy too."
(Of course he assumes space future people are good with "fancy tech stuff." The kids these days, with their googles and their faceybooks, someone hand him his walker.)
"It's a good job. Dangerous, but it needs doing. I know there are some folks in our cohort who're focused more on figuring out a way home, and I wish them luck in it, but in the meantime, I'm more useful keeping the city intact for them to do it in. And we've... had some losses recently, so yeah, I'm sure you're hiring." He nearly gets a bit maudlin there, but thinks of something and chuckles. "Of course, you'll probably have to get through tryouts with Alucard. He'll try to scare the crap out of you, and to be fair, he's very good at it. Just keep a calm head and show a little spine, and you should be okay."
