We have little to talk about and even less that we agree on.
But I think you'll agree that the LSF having an uncontested and fortified presence in Ontario is bad for both of us. Which is why I want to propose that we both choose to see the bigger picture and settle our personal grievances another time.
They'll be after you next anyway, because you stole something from them. So whether you like it or not now is the best time to accept the fact that we have a common cause.
Even if it might be temporary.
Finger pointing aside - do we have an understanding?

I see only one of us has periphery vision.
Though I suppose I can't blame you given your ill mannered tendency to wear those glasses constantly, no doubt hiding those grubby and swollen little eyes of yours.
Your stereotypical fashion choice is outstripped only by your cowardice.
This is why you don't give people your word and then leave them holding the bag on the day of battle. It's true your word is iron - evidently it corrodes.
Oh well, we still remember Hesperia. And I'm sure you'll live long enough to regret this.
The glasses are a display backlight for my augment. Please keep your insecurities to yourself.
As for all of this, you offered me a pretty blatant trap and are mad I don't fall for it. "Oh hey, come shoot LSF with us. We definitely won't just join with LSF shooting you, bump butts, and go back to our hideouts like we did before! Man it sure would suck if you learned from the past, huh?"
Like seriously. Fool me once, or something. I spent the better part of five years dodging you and LSF in California, and now suddenly everything's changed and you want help against LSF? What's wrong, did the agents give you a taste of your own medicine? The snakes can't handle a little venom?
I have enough IQ to cheat myself and my family off of Pittsburgh's ghettos, I'm not falling for this weak trap.
And if you really want to keep trying to sell this, why don't you throw a price tag out? You got, you know, money now, right? You can help me thin the idiots out of the ranks, and get another solid bait and switch under your belt. Bounties that are enough to offset the obvious risk should be well within your budget now, yeah?
Come on, cousin. We're Lane Hackers. Masters, Doctorates, and prodigies across the board. Put a little effort into your traps, alright? You can't use the same stuff you use on your own guys on us.
Aight, now if you boomers are done malding at each other, you probably already know what I'm gonna say. Deal on the table from us girls is the same as it ever was. We'll cooperate against the spooks, but we're cooking our dishes separate, if you know what I'm sayin'.
Just let us know what you're cooking so we dont end up missing dessert or the drinks or uh...something. I shouldn't send these when I'm hungry... Anyway peace!
PS: Don't try anything funny, I know where you live~

Didn't expect this to cross my deck this evening.
I realize you probably don't know me...but Xenos and I haven't had the best history. We mix together like oil and water most of the time...but I can agree on the fact of keeping LSF out of Ontario. The last thing we need are their big headed spook types getting their hooks back into the system. I'll cautiously agree to work together against the LSF along with Chloe and the girls.
...but like she said, we know where you live if you try any funny business.

I'm sure saying that multiple times will make it sound more threatening.
The reality of this situation is that I have no reason to betray you. To fight each other now would be a poor strategic decision that would only serve to help the LSF in dividing us up into neat little pockets for easy and efficient elimination.
In fact, I'm sure they'll try and sow some form of tension between us at a time like this by using whatever tricks they can to make us think we've betrayed each other. It's what I'd do in their position. So be vigilant and report any incidents of misconduct to me directly.
I'll be creating a new comms channel for us to coordinate in, cutting the circle out per their choice. I'm sure they won't come to regret this whatsoever.
