[ Since things are on a barter system here Tex either needs to work up a bank of owed favors or she needs to help a currency system to get started. She doesn't like the insecurity of not being able to earn money. And yeah, she's a little greedy. So what? ]

Open to trade favors. Got lots of skills, just hit me up and we'll see what we can work out.

[ Oh, yeah, there's the matter of Omega, too. She's not sure if the captains are incompetent and let him escape, or malicious and assigned him to one of them. Or something else—there are a lot of possibilities of where he could be. She knows the rage-fueled AI prefers to be partnered with her, but there are no radio signals here for him to travel on and find her. And she knows better than to hope that he's been deleted. That would be too easy.

But she can't just put out there that she's looking for an AI that's the embodiment of anger. That would be stupid. So she's got to be a little deceptive.

Moments later a second text goes out. ]

By the way, I think there might be some weird side effects of the Ingress process. Anyone hearing voices? Angry ones?

As to trade favors, I ain't got nothin' to trade except for services.

[He'd have winked if they were talking face to face, then laughed it off.]

So if you're needed somethin' like that, you just let me know.

But... voices?

I'll keep it in mind.

It's just something I heard someone say.

someone?

if there's someone that's havin trouble adjusting, we should help them. it probably ain't normal to be hearin' voices, but since we don't really know nothin' 'bout these captain's, we should all be careful, yah get me?

[He might not know who is hearing voices, but he thinks they should be cautious about who they tell.]

Yeah. I'm keeping my eye on it.

[ She's keeping her eye for where Omega might be. It's frustrating that so far, she only has the one lead—the man who came on the network throwing a fit yesterday. ]

well, if i hear anythin' i'll let ya know.

i'm eggsy, thought i'd introduce myself.

Thank you. And I'm Texas.

Was that supposed to be a personal ad? I don't think those are allowed in the Network.

[She's not referring to sexual favors, Lee. Gods. Not every female is a sexually promiscuous blonde.]

I don't know what side affects the Ingress causes, but I think there might be something in the water, so to speak. I'm feeling a little more calm then I think is reasonable, considering our situation.

What, you don't want to know who's eligible on board?

Though that's not what I meant. I like to have a positive balance and favors seem to be the only thing we can pay for things with here.

That's the opposite of what I'm worried about, but good to know.

Making a list of sexually available shipmates is not how I intend to spend my abundance of free-time.

Though, I think you have a point about favors. I hadn't thought about that yet. I guess I'm just used to everyone doing whatever needs to be done because it's part of their job description.

If people only do what's in their job descriptions that leaves an awful lot of things undone.

It's called initiative. They should try it some time.

[~~Lee, quit being a dick.~~]

Initiative is what I call putting an ad out for my services before anyone else gets around to it.

Hey, you weren't the one I was doubting.

What exactly are your services?

Why, are you in the market?

[ Okay, no, she'll quit jerking his chain. He might spread word if he knows someone who needs some help. ]

Personal security. Mechanical and engine repair. Help opening jars.
