I MEANT with head counts and keeping things organized. I have more experience putting people in graves than taking them out
[A belated moment later, he realizes how that sounds.]

im trying to get an education here you dont want to overwhelm me. can i answer all of the above ? ill fill you in when i see you im no good with technology
[Says the guy who's been working to fix the waterline for the past three days. But he'd rather not put "I want to tattle to you about some fine Almina corpses" on the network. Just because Ghost isn't reachable doesn't mean he's not around. Or that he even has to be to know everything on the network.]

Fine. 20 mins center tower
[And cue radio silence, but she is present and on time, looking only marginally ridiculous with all her gear on her plus a nice home depot hand axe strapped to her thigh. Call her paranoid, but with enough crap going on below the station's surface and effectively no idea how long they'll be here, much less how long they'll have to get their shit together if their departure from the station is as sudden as their arrival-- well, she's not really big on leaving her stuff anywhere for any length of time thanks.]

[Zelos is waiting. Out of the direct sight of any cameras he can spy, but as far as he understands it these cameras don't record audio anyway. Small graces. He waves when he spots Shepard. ...Pauses. Wat.]
If you're looking for an army to take on I don't think we've suitably pissed off the locals yet. A miracle I know, don't ask me how we've done it.

Well at least whoever it is is consistently an asshole

Everyone wants things + more than half this crew had no idea what they were agreeing to when they signed on. Just because recruiting is good at manipulation doesn't mean everyone who said yes is just looking out for themselves

I wouldn't go that far. I think people's perspectives tend to get colored by their actions
FROM: skywalker.luke@cdc.org
don't worry! I agree with you. I think people have a lot of reasons for joining. the ones that weren't tricked anyway. it's giving this place too much credit to say they make a deal we bought into, fair or not

This place was on the CDC's payroll.
[Or is? Whatever. There's a business connection between one or the other - makes sense that the locals would be used to a certain number of company reps even if this place is a complete shit hole now. She flicks the small axe at her thigh a sidelong glance - rolls her eyes back to him and tips the line of her chin high. A nonverbal question mark, though she follows it with an actual one:]
You're not seriously looking for a vocabulary lesson, right?
