[In the south pole]
"Mama, look at this." Peso handed his mother the job advert and watched while she read over it.
After a few agonising minutes his mother gave her verdict. "It sounds right up your ally, Peso."
Peso smiled, then sighed. "Now I just need to get to the North Pole..."

It was Tweek's dad who showed her the advert.
She frowned and crunched a carrot thoughtfully. "You think it's worth a shot, Pop?"
"Aye. What've you got to lose? And you're the best damn engineer I know."

Rather strangely Dashi already happened to be near the North Pole when she was told about the advert. She was taking pictures of a mother polar bear called Bianca and her two nearly-born cubs when the subject came up.
"You're pretty good." Bianca commented when she was presented with the photo's.
"Thanks!" Dashi beamed.
A thoughtful look came over Bianca's face and she asked. "Are you hoping to do this professionally or something?"
"That's be my dream!" Dashi explained. "But there's so many people wanting to be photographers already I don't know if I'd stand a chance."
"What do you like photographing?"
"I prefer things like reef bays and other animals if I get them to pose for me. Kinda, still life's? But my main area of interest is the sea." Dashi sighed and looked out wistfully at the ocean. "But do you know how hard it is to become a Marine Biologist Photographer? A nightmare. And me and degrees don't go well together."
While she'd been talking Bianca had reached inside her bag and taken out a flyer of some kind. "You should try this. My brother, Benjamin, is in charge of the team."
"But...qualifications?"
Bianca made a 50/50 gesture. "Debatable. He wants qualifications for roles like the Medic and the Engineer, but for the photographer? He wants a portfolio and someone with passion. And I can tell you've got the passion. Give it a go! What have you got to lose?"
