"No", she sighed. "But I wouldn't be entrusted with an assignment like this again. You see, in our order we don't really have a military ranking system. Our ranks are assigned to us based upon the success of our assignments. The more dangerous the assignment that you complete is, the more they will rely on your capabilities and entrust you with more dangerous ones."

She made a small pause as if to inspect his reaction before continuing. "Our first assignment is the pilgrimage where we are sent out as children with nothing but a small package of food, water, some ammunition, and a weapon to survive on our own. During the pilgrimage we are tasked with bringing back the finger of an evil-doer. A Raider, a Talon Company merc, an Enclave soldier, you name it. Once we are successful and return, we are initiated into the order and can thus be tasked with various assignments, some more dangerous than others. Successfully completing an assignment earns you the respect and trust of your fellow members and you can even be assigned to lead small groups of us onto even greater assignments. Although we rarely do work in groups. Most of our members are travelling and working alone."

She smiled coquettishly. "I don't know why I am telling you this. The Order of Salem is supposed to be a secret to everyone. We are not the Brotherhood of Steel who go in with guns blazing and then leaves their trademark card on the battlefield so that the innocents knows who to call when things go awry. Our keyword is subtlety. We are trained in the arts of stealth and are working from the shadows. Our job is to spot you, and shoot you down, before you even had a chance to realise that you were being watched in the first place."

She then reflected upon what she had just said and smiled awkwardly. "I... hope that didn't sound too threatening, did it?"
