[ AND NOW IN THE RIGHT COMM... ]

Qubit here. Keeping this quick: I need a few volunteers to provide blood samples for testing purposes. These will need to come from both sick and healthy individuals, please. Contact me if you're interested. Thanks in advance.

"Worth your while"? And here I thought I was being generous.

Kabal, you're lucky I'm offering you anything at all. Frankly, I'm not sold on what value you bring to the operation. As I recall, all you did last time was stand around bullying the poor fellow who did all the actual work.

I knew where the good shit was to begin with. And I was there to protect my little lackey should that room have been filled with guards. I'm bringing a lot, it's YOU that don't have a purpose here.

Just cuz you want first dibs on tech doesn't mean you get it. What are the rest of this little crime syndicate getting for letting you join?

[ Hmph. So Kabal actually knew where to look? He wasn't just guessing and going in blind? Press X to doubt, but okay. He does have some value as muscle - that's never been Qubit's strong point, and Carlisle is literally skin and bones - but he's hardly the only guy in Anchor who fits that description.

Still, it's only fair that Qubit lay out some of his qualifications as well. Even if he does take issue with the terminology. ]

Please. We're treasure hunters. [ Can't have organized crime if you don't got laws! ]

First: you'll be getting my knowledge and expertise, which is more than enough in itself. I can find us solutions that don't risk killing everyone in Anchor, for a start. And I can identify our findings, so you'll be pawning actual goods as opposed to mystery boxes.

Second: I'm technokinetic, which means I can quite literally shape machines to my will. I'm sure I needn't spell out how that will be useful. Play your cards right, and there could even be some custom gadgetry in it for you.

Third: I have access to the security systems.

[Okay, being Indiana Jones is kind of alluring, he can get into that. ]

See? Now you're making a compelling case. You need to lead with the: access to security system thing. That's important. I like keeping my blood inside my body for the most part, and that's a good way to make sure it stays there.

So what's the deal here, we let you into our little treasure hunting tomb raider party and you help identify the goods? I'm seeing the appeal.

[And Carlisle is a lackey so he doesn't get a say.]
