Legendary (In Name Only) - 07 - Old British Alyx Vance
Wherein dragonological history is revealed, a rousing game of Mornington Crescent is played and more general stupidity is exhibited by all parties involved.  It's safe to say that neither secret society involved really gives a toss about hiring the best and the brightest.
How *do* you hire soldiers for paramilitary secret societies, anyway?  Do they pretend to be military recruiters, and when they get on the bus for basic training the driver puts on a gasmask, fills the bus with knockout gas and drives them to their secret base?  Then when they wake up is there a greeter outside the bus all, "I know you were expecting the Army BUT LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL STUFF WE HAVE!" and he pulls out a laser rifle?  Maybe they pay for college, too...
(I didn't demo what happens when you get killed because I cut it out.  Shhh, don't tell anyone!)
