Anyone have any suggestions for a job around here that might- might pay a little more than the average?

You want to tell me what's going on with your group cloning the foreigners?

I'm sorry about- [...] Look, something came up, alright? I didn't mean to stand you up.

You said you might be able to help with.. [The 'my meds' is implied as he trails off.] My supply is low.

Are you two close?

She's a trusted colleague. [He'll admit he considers her a friend - to her. But that's not anyone else's business.]

[Good enough.]

What can I do for you, Arthur?

[aloadeddie]

I'd say more like, what can I do for you? You're the one seeking employment, after all.

I can't say I'm a rich man, by any means, but private security can be pretty lucrative - at least where I come from. And ex-cops have a lot of qualifications. I'm ex-army, myself.

If you want to teach me, sure. I'd like to learn more about security, try to do some work in that. What's it cost?

[aloadeddie]

Cost? If you want to work for me, I'd pay you. On-the-job training, so to speak. It's not full time work - not yet, at least - but I've been doing okay.

No offense, kid, but I don't really want to work for you. With you, sure. But I've had enough following orders for awhile.

[Kid? That automatically makes him want to scowl, but he tamps it down.]

However you want to word it. I'm not good at giving orders, anyway. [Well, he's not good at making requests, either, but this guy is someone he needs to learn more about, so he'll say what he needs to say.]

I can show you a few things, and pay you for your help, if you want. If not, then we'll forget it.

private; 95% encryption

[lostundercover]

Okay. You show me how it works, pay me for the work once I'm trained. You find the jobs, I'll help you with whatever you need. Agreed?

Sounds like we've got a deal.

Day after tomorrow? [He'll be momentarily sending a ping to a little office in the Metal Sector.]

I'll see you bright and early.
