“Yeah, but I was able to put my boot in your face even despite that. Actually... I have a proposition for you.”

"What's that?" She asked, looking scared of what he'd think of.
-
“I need someone to act as my clean-up crew. Clean up any collateral damage, you know. If something gets out of hand.”
-
"....I'm not cleaning up blood and guts. I'll vomit and make it worse." She responded.
-
“I didn’t mean actual clean-up. I meant social clean-up. Make sure nobody knows what they’re not supposed to. Basically I need a PR team.”
-
"Huh? Like brainwash or...?" She raised a brow, confused.
-
“I mean coverups for the more covert ops. Erasing my face from photos, making sure civilians don’t know who I am, that sort of thing.”
-
"I can do that, I guess, but I have no experience doing it...at all."
-
“Yeah, but you can probably play people better than I can. I’m terrible at being social.”

“I make eight-thousand dollars per day on a bad day. You’ll probably find no better pay.”
-
"Yeah, but that's you. And you love money. I won't be getting paid that."
-
“You’ll be getting paid our agreed amount. One third. Plus you’re forgetting bonuses if you do a good job.”
-
"Bonuses? Huh. I'll try it, but anymore terrible...horrible things and I seek out Nat."
-
“Hey, upside is that you get to spend a little more time with Rian during work.”
-
"That's true." Silver nodded. "I can keep her company more."
-
“She really needs it. She always bothers me about me getting in trouble, will be good to get her off my back.”
-
"Maybe you could be nicer to her..." Silver mumbled, walking.
-
“She’s a robot. Not like she has actual feelings. Just lines of code.”
-
"Oh f*ck off. She's sentient. She has feelings."
-
“You don’t get it. I coded her. She doesn’t have sentience. It’s not part of her code.”
-
"But...I could've....Then why not just change the code?"
-
“Because she seems to be trying to develop free will and I don’t want to ruin it.”
-
"So she is alive? I'm confused..."
-
“She’s alive, yes, but not sentience. But she’s developing it.”
-
"O-Oh, okay. That's different, I guess?"
