Scarcely more than pocket change, but better than nothing I suppose.

what
pocket change
You can't be serious.
That's $2k we're looking at here.
On top of what we make for doing missions.

Add a couple more zeros and you get to what I'm usually paid. But I guess some of us are a little 'cheaper' than others.

[ Wow, high maintenance much? ]

You realize with the way the economy is here, $2k is practically close to that, right?

Besides, we're a small group trying to keep a low profile. Any more than that suddenly ending up in our pockets would be weird.

I accept that. [She just wants the others in the group to know how expensive her services usually are.]

Is there anything else you'd like to tell me that I already know?

Yeah.

Quit being needy, newbie. Some of us have been in this treehouse awhile without pay.

I can't think why.

[ ...really? ]

uh
Because some of us want to go home???????
Or make sure we don't go home.
Whichever.

Do they not have sarcasm where you come from?

[It loses some of it's effect in text form.]

Text isn't exactly a happy medium for sarcasm, Polty.

[ Congrats, you have been Nicknamed (tm). ]

[I suppose it isn't, your anus.

Oops autocorrect, my bad.

[Lying!]

Do something worth paying for.

Naturally.

(Private)

Is there something you'd like done?

As our achievements grow, so will our resources- and your rewards.

In the meantime, I suggest you stop bickering with Uranus. Your energies are better directed elsewhere.

Of course, my apologies, it was a waste of my time.

[She doesn't sound too apologetic; he started it.]

Think nothing of it.

[Because he DID start it, after all. Dooku makes this thread PRIVATE for the next bit.]

We have been evaluating the intelligence you secured regarding RISE. It is very fine work. Information like this will be most useful as our campaign continues.

I'm glad you think it useful. Someone at RISE did detect me though at the end and he probably reported it, but he didn't see my own face or all of my capabilities. I believe his name was Revan.

Revan?

[Now that could be a problem. The revelation gives Dooku pause before his next text.]

I know of Revan. His power is great, and he is exceptionally dangerous. If you encounter him again, do not underestimate him.

He didn't seem so tough.

[That's partly just Gemini's ego talking, she did punch him across a room after all, but nonetheless the memory of the telekinetic blast throwing her back makes her take the Count seriously.]

But I'll keep an eye out for him.

See to it that you do. He has destroyed stronger enemies than you in his time.

Now then, I have a mission for you. There is a potential recruit I want you to make contact with.

He won't succeed with me.

A recruit? Not really my speciality but I can do that. What's their profile?

He calls himself 'Shinigami.' He shows greater intelligence than most, and recognizes the true nature of the government. But we do not yet know if his skills will be valuable to us.

I want you to find out all you can. Get close to him and evaluate his beliefs and abilities. If you believe him to be worthy, you will make him one of us.

I'll get right on it. Send me through everything you have on him and I'll track him down.

You can expect all relevant information shortly. I leave it in your capable hands, Poltergeist.

[So nice to have someone on the team eager to take orders and do sneaky things.]
