[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.

What about cookies? I should think such a heroically stupid sort of endeavor would at least merit sugar in reward.

How're we supposed to get the poison OUT of the monsters?

Uh, not that I'd ever get hurt! I'm too fast for those stupid things.

If you're still looking for some help with poisons I'm pretty good at analyzing antidotes in a pinch.

What do you need? I used to be the head of the science department for a prominent law firm. [Totally took down demon SARS.]

You don’t approve but you’re acking people to do it anyhow? [a soft chuckle at that, her manner is a lot different then the angry girl from before] That’s a little backwards, but it makes sense.

I’m sure SERO actually has a lot of these samples in their labs. They’ve been working on Darkness and Darkness protection for a very long time. It’s too bad you can’t just gain their favor and get it first hand.

You know who might have that stuff? Some of those bounty hunters, or... I think SERO would have something. Depending on who you work for.
