[There's very little preamble before the network gets an earful of the distinctive, raspy tones of a certain ex-cop. Guy sounds like he smokes his cigarettes and eats them too. He also doesn't sound exactly comfortable to be speaking on the network, but anyone who's met him in person in the past few days knows that that forced impassivity is kind of his thing.]

I'm looking for someone who can work with cybernetics. Some know-how with computers or engineering would probably help, but I figure some of that comes with the territory. [A pause, and then:] Discretion preferred.

[The way he says it, one kind of gets the sense that he'd gladly find a way to make even the most indiscreet person suddenly learn the meaning of patient confidentiality– but it's just as easy to believe that that's just the way he talks.

There's another longer pause and then, at length, he adds:] I'd also be interested in speaking to anyone who can talk about the crewman we've got in the hold.

[Spooky, scary, skeleton-like – you've probably heard of Ploiatos. Adam certainly has, and (being the security-minded guy he is) he'd love to know what having a literal skeleton in the closet entails.

And since Adam Jensen's never exactly been known for ending conversations gracefully, that's where he chooses to cut the message off.

Certainly, no one can say he isn't to-the-point.]

There are a handful of us and very rarely are we called on. It appears most with cybernetics are familiar with rhudamentary upkeep on themselves. I don't know about the other ones, but it leaves me with less to do, since Saitama-sensei also has not broken his pattern in a way that I can learn anything about his strength.

[It's boring as hell when you've got an empty work slate.]

Seeing how I didn't think to bring my user manuals with me, I'll probably need the help. [It's sort of a joke– but during his post-op, he really had received enough literature on his own augs to keep him reading for days straight if he'd cared to. So of course, most of it had ended up in the garbage.

Guy looks like he's got some enhancements of his own, judging from what Adam can see in the video. So he'd probably have firsthand experience with this:] Doesn't sound like things get too crazy around here, if a tech can't find work.

[Adam's heard about the mess with the Caducans, so he knows that's not true.]

I believe my cybernetics were the most damaged from the caducan incident, and I have already been repaired.
