The world is such a complicated place...

[verminous]

You don't run into it much?

[discomfort]

I run my own inn. It is a small staff, and I do not leave it too often, so I don't usually deal with the corporate world.

[verminous]

Keep it that way if you can help it. There's nothing in the corporate world worth dealing with.

[discomfort]

... unfortunately, thanks to our current employers, I cannot hide from it.

[ where is the ceo. let them talk ]

[verminous]

Two months of it oughta be enough of it for years, then.

[discomfort]

You are fairly calm about this whole situation.

[verminous]

We've seen... I don't know about weirder, but more dangerous, certainly.

[discomfort]

Ah.

... what kind of company did you work for?

[verminous]

Location and retrieval, I think's the easiest way to put it. Find something, get in, grab it, get out.

[discomfort]

Ah...

It sounds like that may come in handy here?

[verminous]

Sounds like it might be easier this time too! Ah... hopefully.

[discomfort]

Haha, don't jinx it! Maybe tomorrow we will crash land.

[verminous]

Don't suggest it either-! Haaah, that'd be a real pain without the manager here...

[discomfort]

Manager? Yours from your company? Are they competent?

[verminous]

They've been learning on the job, mostly... but they do have a pretty neat ability. Every time we die, they drag us right back.

[discomfort]

Really?

Is that normal?

[verminous]

It isn't common, that's for sure. They're pretty special in that way.

[discomfort]

Huh...

Well, even if he was here, the nanites apparently would make him unable to do it.

[verminous]

Yeah, I heard something about that. Explains why my arm's felt different too.

[a little annoying, but-- in his case not all that bad, at least.]

[discomfort]

What kind of difference do you feel with it?

[ does it normally shoot lasers... ]

[verminous]

Usually it's sharper... little more limber, too.

[no lasers, though it is supposed to be a weapon.]

[discomfort]

Ah...

No, I understand, I normally have more abilities as well. It is rather frustrating, since it feels like we are being punished for having some differences that aren't consider normal by their standards.
