[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.]

I didn't say 'no', I said it might not be possible. If you already know that, then okay. I'll give it a try.

[ Appealing to vanity does work, to a degree. If the hardware doesn't matchup though? Well there's not much Sam could do about that. Call this informed consent. ]

((\8D/ Hurray for doing the thing~))

Trying can't hurt. [And even if it does, he thinks grimly, a soft reset is just a death away – at least if what he's heard about "resurgence" is true.

Not that he's counting (or intending) on it coming to that.]

Gonna be honest with you, I really only know how to utilize my augs, what they're supposed to do – couldn't tell you much about how they're supposed to do it. [In that sense, he knows even less about his own body than most people know about theirs – he never had the advantage of a 10th grade biology class for this sort of thing.] But whatever info you need from me, I'll try my best to give.

The biology bit is out of my league tbh. So I'm just trying to get the audio "talking" to the implants you said you had in your mastoid and cochlear bone. Then do something similar for voice. Text would be easy since it's pretty much just turning those retractable sunglasses into a screen.

Not sure how you would use text? Maybe voice-to-text. You'd still have to talk out loud, though.
