[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.]

[Good detective work, Adam, reading the ID off the MID. But even if he hadn't, he'd certainly heard enough about the guy who tried to talk things out with the skeleton monster and nearly ended up dead for his trouble. Not a big leap in logic to assume that this is that same guy.]
What do you mean his soul is corrupted? [And then, quickly:] Explain it like you're talking to someone that's just found out a couple of hours ago that magic is real.
[Because that's exactly the sort of someone that Papyrus is speaking to. All things considered, he's taking the revelation pretty well.]
