Hi.

I owe you for saving your life. That’s how this works, right? You save my life, I’m grateful, you get to finger me for five minutes.


You’re an intelligence agent, Ward. I know what you do.


Yeah, I took a while to get back. Normal circumstances we wouldn’t even be dialoguing. It takes a while to get a wanted criminal off a Zoner installation without a bounty hunter snagging the neural net tags. I’ve had enough with uniformed punks.

Yet here I am talking to a uniformed punk who saved my life - and, what matters more to me, the lives of my colleagues.

So let’s talk. We both do the wetwork for our nation states - we both have our own views on how to do that - pliers and poison, suits and shotguns. I’m a terrorist and you’re an intelligence operative. Same Scheisse, different paygrade. You get to walk free with a new face, I get to walk into a jail cell. The end of the line for you is retirement and champagne. My discharge is a gunshot.

So. Tell me what you want from the Union. What do you want from me? Why do you want it from me?

Make this good. If I go back to my highers up telling them I’ve been in communication with an LSF agent without advancing the cause, I’m so much meat. You should have left me to die in that pod.


Tell me what what you want, why, what you’re selling in return. In that order.

Then I’ll see what I can do for you.
