[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.]

[Straight to business, then. No complaints there.]

Been kind of getting the same feeling, myself. [Not that he has even the smallest shred of evidence to back that feeling up. It's little more than paranoia, what this is – and once, Adam would've dismissed it as baseless conjecture – but after all he's been through in the past few weeks, he's found himself far more willing to keep an open mind.]

Shouldn't be too hard to get a list of names, assuming the medbay keeps that sort of information on file. [Why have a morgue at all if people just come back? Yet another mystery. He folds his arms.] But what are we looking for here? A way to keep this thing contained, or a way to fight it?

[Or just any sort of insight, something that everyone else might've missed? Anything to uncover a piece of the bigger picture? At this point, he'll take whatever lead he can get.]

[ there’s a moment where andyr pauses, considering the options, with his head tilted, eyes on some place space on the wall. ]

Contained, first. But we need a back up for if it gets out. [ murphy’s law - if it can go wrong, it will. He doesn’t want to be blamed for a massacre on the ship just because he didn’t plan well enough for it.

But Adam had wanted to meet in person specifically, which leads one to believe there’s more to say that can’t be done over the network. ]

What were you thinking about it?
