retrospec | (no subject)

So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

The only other thing that they could offer is additional powers or protection from this warped reality, but that's still not worth it when you have to pledge allegiance to their weird cult that is causing all the problems they want to solve. Vanderweele is only a complication. Retrospec is just as responsible, and that includes Zee, as their employee.

But who knows, maybe it's a cushy $150k/yr job. If Zee is a hiring manager, he should know how to make an appealing hiring ad...

That brings up a bigger issue, then. Like If they had the power to protect us more than what they already can, then they've been holding back on helping us and watched us like lab mice. Heh, not lookin' too good for them no matter what they offer 150k a year does sound pretty enticing...

What, you think we AREN’T lab mice? That’s pretty funny.

I’m doubtful they can offer an attractive salary, or Zee would have said something. Still, it’d be nice... I could buy an Audi.

You Can't drive

I'm going to learn eventually.

Point But you have to get along with your instructor, remember

Why? I just have to pass. We're not going to be friends or anything.

Forgive me if I have doubts on your ability to take constructive criticism

The point of an exam is to pass, not to be criticized. I would be an excellent driver and you can’t tell me otherwise.

Oh I have no doubt

[You can't WRITE this poetic if you tried]

But you need to learn before the exam comes, you know Unless you're just gonna whing it

I've already gotten a hook up for driving help. I just need a car.

I could pass the exam anyway, but it's kind of useless without a car to drive around in.

Oh you've already got someone teaching you? Good for you! That's one battle down

No, I need a car first. I have things lined up for when I DO get one... but I cannot drive without one. That defeats the point. I'm sure even you can understand that.

Oh I assumed said hookup had a practice car for you. I learned driving my grandpa's car

[Then again, he can't see himself handing over the keys to this cocoa puff.]

[ a wise decision ]

You assumed incorrectly. In any case, I don't want to learn how to drive a car that isn't mine anyway. Switching around all the time is annoying and isn't conducive to anything.

Whatever suits you best Good luck whenever you hit the road
