[Backdated to the Start of the Breach]
[This is a fresh faced new recruit to the Shatterdome who looks way too happy to be here, all excited and eager to get moving and see some action. He's not really looking to introduce himself or cause a fuss - he's just happy to be here - but there is one thing he really wants to know:]
Anyone know where I can find Jimmy Sledge around?
[Friends of Jimmy's might recognize him from family pictures - this is his kid brother, Gene, and from the way he's dressed, he's clearly not here for a family visit.
(He's also got a different accent - Jersey, not Alabama.)]

[Gene spends most of the time after his introductory post - if one can really call it that - exploring the Shatterdome. He's heard so much about it (and done so much reading since the program got started, and watched every news report and documentary and behind the scenes look that he could manage) that he practically feels like he's already been here for months, years even, but there's new stuff, too. The people, for one. And he's impatient to find his brother.
So most people passing by him in the hallways have probably been stopped and asked if they've seen or heard of or know where he can find Jim Sledge. He lingers a little awkwardly in the mess hall, looking for some of his buddies from training or anyone who doesn't look like they'd mind company from a new boot, and typically, he can't totally stay away from the hangers, and has to unpack in his quarters eventually, taking out the few personal items from home (some family pictures, a couple books about birds and the Civil War) and arranging them on the utilitarian shelves.]
