I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that.

Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors.

The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself.

Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation.

It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting.

Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass.

Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

It's about time someone did. Although it's not like this is the first time, either... But more people could stand to do it.

At least you have. And you have my support. Have fun storming the castle.

I'm not doing anything until I get paid.

A very good notion to have. How much would you charge him?

$99/hour

That's about normal. How kind of you to offer a reasonable price.

Not to them, surely... They want us to do everything for free.

But if they had to hire someone, that is a normal price to charge for such services.

I mean, you got to wonder how much money Retrospec has. With it being in the tech industry. And there is some sort of magic thrown in. Surely they have a pretty full piggy bank.

Nothing about Retrospec is not normal, and I suspect they hardly have any money to actually spend on services, no matter how "reasonable." Again... they could just hire a mechanic themselves instead of preying on us.

But I'll keep that in mind if you ever want your oil changed. $100 and it's done.

Are you a certified mechanic?

No.

Then you're not touching my car, ever.

You say that as if you were planning on letting me anyway.

Not really. You're price to change the oil is pretty steep to be honest.

You don't have a business sense do you?

Considering it took you several comments to come to that conclusion, I can't say I'd trust your business sense either. You also seem to forget that I am not a business with dependent employees where I could justify high pricing to cover more than just standard wages. Do you seriously think a mechanic pockets the total cost of what's charged for labor? Of course I'd be happy to serve Retrospec with a several thousand dollar bill, but you should also know better than to deal over the internet for a real world service job.

Wow, someone has their panties all in a twist. An touche.

To be honest, it's amusing to read your response. You just assume that what I write you is exactly what I'm thinking. Are you just put out that I refused your services? Is that what this is all about?

Never once did I even consider asking you to change my oil. You offered. I did a simple check to see if you were even qualified, and then I had a legit reason to refuse you outside of the reason being, "you're a kid."

And you actually thought I was going to take you up on your service? "Deal over the internet for a real world service job?" As if.

Yeah, people like you are infuriating when you think you know everything and can't stand the fact that someone else knows better. At least I know how to change oil, as I'm sure you can't manage something even that basic. You're already upset about this apparent slight when this was never about you in first place! I couldn't care less about you, or your vehicle, and I can't wait for your negligence to catch up to you, causing you to spend more money at an auto shop because you've gotten your head so far up your own ass you can't smell that your engine is overheating.

You assumed a lot in that message. Do you realize that?

1. I'm not upset
2. I regularly get my car checked and maintained
3. I don't know everything, but that fact that you're so cocky, shouts that I know more than you.
4. Couldn't care less that you don't care about my car.

Considering I know how to change oil and do coolant flushes seems to imply that I actually know more than you. Paying someone to do your own work doesn't mean anything.

Oh you were referring to cars? I thought you meant over all knowledge and life experience.

Paying someone to do work on my car does mean something. I have a career that pays me enough to afford to pay someone to work on my car.

Of course I was talking about cars you idiot, what else would I be talking about?? Maybe you could use all that money to buy yourself a brain.

How about you invest in some manners?

Why, did I hurt your feelings? Too bad. Don't care.

No. Just that, being a bit more polite might help you in the future. Otherwise, no one will take a kid like you seriously.

I don't have a future, but thanks for playing!
