[ The recording starts and it centers on a black, armored figure. A pissed, armored figure. Even with the visor in her way, she's trying her damnedest for the glare to penetrate through sheer force of will. ]

Is this some kind of joke? I don’t have time to be dealing with-- [ And she interrupts herself because well technically she does have time now that she’s here, oddly enough. She’s not sure if that’s better or worse than her last predicament. ]

Look, this is Freelancer Texas and I need a status report and location on all other agents operating in this area ASAP. And Wash, if you’re out there, save yourself the trouble because I will find you. [ Someone’s a little salty about the last thing they remember. ]

To whoever wrote that little brochure and hauled us all here? If you want my help, we’re going to need to start talking numbers. Real ones, none of this promise for the future crap. I do my job well and I don’t come cheap.

Well, there's someone I thought I'd never see again.

Hello, Allison.

[failureisntachoice]

[ . . .What is going on. ]

I could say the same about you, York.

text; (ID: Maine)

[maime]

[Now, even with that call for other agents to reply, Maine would've ignored this, because he doesn't much care for Texas. But then she says A Thing that he takes immediate issue with.]

Leave Wash alone

audio

[failureisntachoice]

So you're saying he is here.

[text]

[scleras]

Freelancer Texas? How curious. Someone was just telling me about you.

Is it true you're really part shark?

[text]

[failureisntachoice]

No.

Which one of them is saying it this time?

perma-audio; 1/2

[worstever]

[FUCK. HE'S SO DEAD.]

[worstever]

[Said so casually like he is not totally shitting his pants at all.]

voice

[buildsfriends]

TEX OH MY GOD YOU'RE HERE

voice

[failureisntachoice]

[ WHO ISN'T HERE. Give her a second because she needs to make sure her ears still work. And when she talks, she will make sure it is very slowly. ]

Yes, Caboose. I am. Who else is here?

1/2

[bestsword]

[Oh shit. He knows that voice.

Oh shit oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck he knew bad things would walk in when he saw Caboose he fucking knew it]

not here

[bestsword]

[YEAH NO HE IS STAYING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS MESS though he is sort of idly wondering what she wants with Wash besides to kill him but fuck he'll figure out later]

permavoice;

[fuckai]

[He's dead he's so dead they're all dead. It's been a fucked up, annoying run and now they're all gonna die.

God, he should have known this was how it was all gonna end. At the very least it looks like he'll get to watch Wash get beaten to death first, though.]

Whoa wha-- wai-- Tex?!

[That was intelligent]

permavoice;

[failureisntachoice]

[ Wash mentioned Alpha was here and there's no mistaking that voice. Good or bad, this is what she has to deal with. ]

Who the hell else would it be?

[moneylogues]

Ouch, already gunning for someone right out the gate! Sucks to be Wash!

[Poor Wash. His heart goes out to him. Really. So much sympathy.]

Also I doubt the price negotiation's gonna get you anywhere.

video;

[failureisntachoice]

I can be persuasive.

You know Wash?

perma audio

[bestsword]

Dude this is the one time you don't want to talk.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

SPACE LADY!

[failureisntachoice]

[ ...Who is this small person and how do they know she's from space. ]

Space lady?

permatext; comm tag is "Tadashi"

[tadeadshi]

[More and more of the space people. He's getting a bad feeling about the future.... And she sounds pretty pissed off about Wash hhhhh.]

I don't know if I can help with 'numbers' but I can help with any other information that wasn't in the pamphlet.

permatext

[failureisntachoice]

Any information you're willing to offer up, I'll take.

[chancetoatone]

[The lizard-man with the large black and green eyes has a quiet voice when he speaks.]

I don't think the government here has any use for mercenaries. I apologize.

( Video )

[failureisntachoice]

[ ...Alien that speaks their language and isn't planning to kill her or do questionable things to her teammates. She'll take this in stride. ]

They need to figure out their transporter then because I know they've brought in more than one.

[ video ]

[enucleation]

[ why so many people in armors... ]

They won't be paying you to help. You either do or don't, it's up to you.

[ video ]

[failureisntachoice]

So the stipend is a lie?

( audio. )

[desequilibre]

I doubt they'll wish to give you any more coin than the government approved stipend already has, Madame. They'll expect assistance from you regardless.

( audio. )

[failureisntachoice]

So they pay everyone they bring here the same amount?

audio

[pobrecisco]

Man, there are a lot of you guys, aren't there?

audio

[failureisntachoice]

Yeah, I've noticed. [ There is so much deadpan joy in her tone right now. ] Let me guess, you're friends with some of them.

Video

[misterintegrity]

This is Agent North; me and South both are here.

[Not really a sight for sore eyes, but he was on her side last time he saw her.]

What're you gunning after Wash for?

Video

[failureisntachoice]

Let's just say we have a score to settle. [ And really, that's all that needs to be said. ]

How long have you two been here?
