You sure you weren't just some suit in a corporation before you grew scales and started spitting venom at people? Pretty convincing pitch, enough to sway most people. Most people ignore my tolls anyway, so I often-times have to get creative..

I don't have ideological needs, but I do know a good deal when I see one. Though I want one thing in return, being an addict isn't a god-damn condition, stop calling it that, there's nothing wrong with me, at least not any more than there might be with you. Taking my doses is a lot like peeing, I'm not going to do it in public and in front of your people while they eat. I dose myself privately and never share.

Unconventional recruit you've made out of me, a cardamine addict among the Xenos killing things for the heck of it, at least it's not predictable, and at the very least, it'll be fun. I'm in. I'll ditch my vindicator back on some Hacker base, move myself out to Ames and we'll go from there. If I ever feel indoctrinated in the slightest, I'm packing a bag and leaving. I like my freedom, don't tread on it.

""Bye""
