Intern



An intern is someone who is working in a position to gain experience and training rather than doing it as a regular job. It may be with the intent of holding the same job they're training for or a related one in the same field, or it may be just for kicks.

With the PPC, interns are not just delegated to fetching coffee, but if they're able to fetch coffee, chocolate, and/or Bleepka AND simultaneously help the agents they've been assigned to, said intern is likely fast on the way to becoming a full agent.

Not that it's very hard to become an agent, given current hiring policies; not all PPC agents are lucky enough to have an internship period first. Many agents go straight into the field with very little training, especially during a fanfic explosion.

Interns are not immune to going insane. Intern Hul Choka went mad after the Assimilation Crisis.

Interns are identified by an urple armband. Whether the armband contains a SEP field, or whether the color is actually a form of hazing, is unknown.

In FicPsych, interns are also called nurses' assistants. Especially if the nurses are pleased with them.
