[McCoy is sitting in the break room again, it's late and the lights are dimmed, probably to conserve power, but the soda machine is glowing somewhere behind him and his NV is casting it's own faint blue light from the screen he has open. He looks tired, but that's far from unusual. It's been a busy few weeks. He pulls a pen from between his teeth before he speaks, the poor thing looks half mauled already.]

I'm starting to realized the lot of you still go out monster hunting despite any sort of common sense. So before I ask anything, i'm going to state right now that it's still not something I approve of, but you're all big kids and can make your own decisions.

That being said, I need a few favors.

Aside from the alarming amount of injuries and deaths that have been occurring due to 'natural' disasters, there's been a great deal of damage done to the proofing around here. Which means the critters have been getting in... which means we get to deal with more surprise injuries at night. And, disappointingly enough, we have little working knowledge on how to deal with certain poisons and venom these little bastards are chalked full of. If either SERO or AGI have coined the market on treatments, they're not sharing. Go figure.

To even begin to work on a proper treatment we need the actual poison to work with. I'm sure you see where I'm going with this...

[He frowns, scowls even, as a thought comes to him.] And before you go holding out your hand, the only reward that comes with this is gratitude and me not chewing your ass out if...when a reckless night ends you up on my table. Take it or leave it.

[and that was interesting...] May I ask where you come from? Earth maybe, or some other place? [because she had met a lot who were not of earth by now]

[Also, being called Kid made her smile, seeing as she was almost 21 now. Perhaps it was the hair-- or the fact that he seemed like the type to call anyone 'kid']

Oh, I'm nothing as important as a scientist or doctor. Just a greeter at the field for the newcomers is all. It's my job to know these things. I know a lot about AGI as well.

Earth to start, yeah. Been plenty of other places.

[And yeah, everyone younger than him gets the 'kid' label, but then, he has a bad habit of acting older than he actually is.]

Yeah? You know anyone that works for them?

Earth to start. [she said that more to herself, repeating it in consideration] So do you space travel or time travel? I mean, if it's not too intrusive to ask. [her old curiosity has come back...]

[And yes, that would be the image she was getting of him. Acts older then he is.]

I know of a lot of people who works for both sides. Or where to go to talk to recruiters. Which side to go to for assistance in different matters. [Oh but there is a small moment where she looks annoyed. She's not a fun of either side.]

Space, which was the last disaster I let someone 'recruit' me into. That's why I have my reservations about SERO, even if those bastards probably have everything I need.

Looks like you got your shit together at least, I take it you've been here for awhile? [sorry about the language, he gets cranky when he's tired.]

I'm almost envious of you. Space and space travel always seemed so interesting if not dangerous. I don't blame you for not wanting to mix it up with SERO though. They do play rough at times.

[A small nod and proud smile. She's a LOT less grouchy and wrathful then she was the other week when she called it quits]

Two years, three months and 29 days, give or take. [that's hardly bad language, good sir. She's heard much worse. Used some of it too.] After some time you begin to learn what needs to be known to make it a home.

So I've been told, though as much as I hate to say it... i'm running out of options.

[have an eyebrow at that.] Seems like getting home might be harder than it sounds if that's the case.
