Kind of forward for a first date, I know, but do any of you have access to tech that can give a guy a clean brain scan? Looking for foreign organics, not the chip.

And has anyone tested the limits of the empathy bond? If not, consider this recruitment for some extreme handholding. Also forward, but I promise I'll buy you a drink as soon as I get my allowance.

earth, 2016
there's probably a specific designation but i couldn't tell you what it was

who'd you work for?

[stabilis]

Vintage. I don't even think I remember the designation.

Reclamation Apprehension Coalition, technically. Practically we worked for anyone who could pay for a valid warrant. What about you, you have a boss?

[reneger]

wow, didn't need you pointing out what an old man i am

no strings on me
what kind of warrants you handle?

[stabilis]

I think the scientific classification would be "old as balls".

Retrieval, escort, negotiation. Kill warrants exist, but they aren't really our style.

[ Not that people don't end up dead on the other warrants. It's a line in the sand, ok. ]

RAC procedure's changed a bit lately, though. Been more into fighting alien domination than running errands.

[reneger]

ever heard of something called the green lantern corps?

[stabilis]

What? No.

Have you heard of green plasma?

[ why is everything green ]

[reneger]

probably not

so you, what
do weird shit for whoever the hell has enough money to ask for it

[stabilis]

Well now you're just making me sound like a sexer.

But yeah, technically, except it's usually more dangerous than weird.

[reneger]

a sexer?

[stabilis]

[ please ]

I know we're working with different universes here, but that one seems pretty obvious.

[reneger]

prostitute
how am i supposed to know what strange assed names your universe gives things?
come on

you saying you wouldn't?
pays well here

[stabilis]

"Sex" is literally in the word.

And I never said I wouldn't. I mean I probably wouldn't, but that's only because I'd rather work with machines.

[ does that... sound weird.... ]

You know what I mean.

[reneger]

heard of teams called stranger shit
if you're the 'killjoys', why can't someone else be a 'sexer'?

( it didn't sound weird until he made it weird. )

machines are so much less complicated than people
that it?

[stabilis]

You'd think so, but I've met several machines that would argue otherwise.

And fair point about the name. Killjoys is more of a colloquialism, anyway.

[reneger]

ais?
or just really snarky robots?

[stabilis]

AIs, but the traditional kind. They're still working off of programming.

I think. The sass does make it kind of hard to tell.

[reneger]

how good are you with your fists
for reference

[stabilis]

Reference for what, exactly?

[reneger]

lots of crap happens around these parts, johnnyboy

[stabilis]

The answer is pretty damn good, but I'm even better with a gun.

[reneger]

i can respect that


guy down there, mister anonymous with the empath friend?
careful with him, he's a clinger

[stabilis]

Speaking from experience?

[reneger]

he'll hold your hand
ask you about all your feelings
how life's going
pet your hair a little

[stabilis]

Sounds like a dream date. Shame about the buzzcuts, we could do braids.

[reneger]

gross
