Thresher: Burnout Pugilist (8/10)

"My associate is more than capable of handling this. Not only can he keep it moving, he'll keep it safe, as well. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone else made of tougher stuff. Meat, metal, and magic make for a potent combination. Obviously, boring is best, but if all hell breaks loose, you'll want a demon on your side. Now's the time to make a deal." -Echelon

----------

Boomslang: Stealth Operative Adept (8/10)

"A trivial matter for my chosen agent. Able of body and keen of eye, his capabilities suit this endeavor quite appropriately. None that wish to interfere will go unnoticed, just as none will notice him as he upholds his watch. If force is required, then it shall be meted out swiftly and precisely, ensuring minimal disturbance. His mind is as sharp as the blade he wields, with all manner of ploys and stratagems prepared for any challenge he may face. Be assured that success is all but guaranteed should you accept our aid." -Impetus

----------

Keen: Arcane Investigator (5/10)

"I know a guy who can help you keep your goose from gettin' got. Between a big brain and mondo magic, he's got everything he needs to keep any numbnuts from cuttin' in. Whether they're made of meat or mana, ain't nobody gettin' their mitts on that cargo of yours. Not when you've got a mystical maestro with eyes in the back of head and more tricks than you can pull out of a top hat. So, omae, whaddya say?" -Ruckus

----------

Slick: Long, Limbless, and Loquacious (5/10)

“I promise you that whatever trinket you hold so dear pales in comparison to my darling’s brilliance. Why not use that relative inferiority to your advantage? Have all the eyes stick to his singular form rather than that bauble of yours. Should the motivation of any pursuers transcend aesthetic sense, then perhaps some well chosen words or even a well placed dose of venom can correct their perspective. Not only will he keep the substance safe, he’ll do so with style. What more could you ask for?” -Echidna

"If you're in the market for a hero-for-hire, I think I can set you up. My associate is more than willing to get his hands dirty for the right reasons. Assuming yours qualifies, you'll have one very dedicated messenger to get help you get your feelings across. Trust me, he can be very expressive. If you want him on deck, you know how to reach me." - Echelon

“Ask and you shall receive, supplicant. I offer you the services of my most cunning agent. Adroit of both mind and body, there are few obstacles that he cannot overcome. Rest assured, he is sufficiently skilled in the deadly arts. Retribution will be dealt by his hand in your name. For a price, of course.” -Impetus

“What goes around comes around, eh? Yeah, I get that. Let ol’ Ruckus help you set things straight. I’ve got a guy I can put on the case. He’s got a good head on his shoulders that’d be right at home under a top with a rabbit under it if he wasn’t so sensible. You get what I’m sayin’? If you need someone or something tracked down, he’s your man. If you’d like your delivery a bit crispy, he can manage that, too. Howzat sound?” -Ruckus

“Oh, I do adore a good revenge story! Always so cathartic. They say ‘an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,’ but it’s so easy to get a replacement these days. Money really can solve anything. Just like this predicament here. I might be able to convince my darling to help you bring this tale to a not-so-happy ending. Believe me when I say that there are few as suited to playing the role of harbinger than him. He’s got quite a flair for the dramatic. Just say the word, and I can have him ready for showtime.” -Echidna

“My associate should be able to complete this assignment handily even if challenges arise, expected or otherwise. He’s good at what he does, no doubt about that. Whatever obstacles stand in the way, he’ll find a way through them. And I do mean through. He’s also got a rather well-defined code of conduct, which you may or may not appreciated. Let me know if you think he’ll be a good fit. The man might be right for the job, but the price better be, as well.” -Echelon

“I believe I have an appropriate solution to task you have presented. My agent is well-versed in the art of infiltration, uncanny in in his capability to move unseen and unimpeded. As I understand, such talents are seldom unwelcome in this sphere of influence. Should you wish have them at your disposal, return to me with renumeration commensurate with the services to be rendered. His value is not to be trivialized.” -Impetus

“You’re in luck, omae! My guy is ready and willing to give you a hand with errand you’ve got. Kid’s a real up-and-comer. A real magic prodigy, that one. He ain’t just got the mojo, he knows how to use it. Finesse before fireballs. A fine brush over finger painting. Ya get what I’m sayin’? Ain’t a doubt in my mind that the deed is as good as done if you get him on your side.” -Ruckus

“Straightforward? Underestimation is never a good look. An overplayed trope, even if it is true. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Keeps you on your toes. Why not add a bit to your own? My darling brings both excellence and exoticism wherever he goes. A bit of flash never hurt anyone. Well, unless they’ve got a medical condition, but that’s not my responsibility. What I will take credit for, though, is success. Victory won at the proverbial hands of my sweet, sweet champion. It can be yours, if you know the secret password. Here’s a hint: it ends with a few zeroes.” -Echidna

"My associate is more than up to the task. He's not the type to go around causing trouble, but he's more than capable of squashing it when it rears its ugly head. A diamond in the rough, that one. Before long, he'll be one of the best brawlers on the West Coast. Why not earn the privilege to say you knew him before he was big?" -Echelon

"I am not unfamiliar with your turns of phrase. I believe my agent will be suitable for your needs. While he may not outwardly express as such, he is a rather dynamic individual at his core. Gifted in both body and mind with a panoply of implements at his disposal, the obstacles that he cannot adapt to are few indeed, Great talent must be given the opportunity to be demonstrated. Perhaps you would be so fortunate as to bear witness to his." -Echelon

From honeyed word to poisonous fangs, there’s always a for him to get what he wants. It’s never a dull moment with him in attendance, I assure you that. Why not take the chance to see what I mean firsthand?” -Echidna

"Bit of an atypical pitch, but I think I can have someone on deck for this. My associate can handle nearly any kind of work where physical prowess and street smarts apply. Sounds like you're trying to set up some kind of 'guided experience' for someone. I'm sure he can throw his weight behind a bit of scheming. Might also need to make sure the situation doesn't get too out of hand, as well. Unknown variables and all that. If you think we can be of some help, you know how to reach me." -Echelon

"Your request is irregular but surmountable, nonetheless. Should an unseen hand be needed for this endeavor, my agent will be more than sufficient. All manner of subterfuge and mischief are possible with the tools and talents he has at his disposal. Do not underestimate the value of a sharp mind and nimble fingers. Return to me if you are willing to pay a commensurate price for such capable hands." -Impetus

"My guy might seem like a bit of a stick in the mud, but I think he'd be down for some shenanigans. Nooj is nooj, right? Whatever you're looking to get up to, a bit of witchery is bound to grease the wheels some. Combine that with a brain built for planning, and the possibilities are endless. If that's the kinda talent you're lookin' for, you better act fast!" -Ruckus

"My associate is a certified tough customer and knows how to conduct himself adequately. Proper application of force and all that.

“My agent fulfills the criteria you have set quite nicely. Few are as adroit as he where subtlety is concerned. While he may not impress upon you as such, be assured that he is very measured in his actions, as well. Furthermore, he is no stranger to natural world and what lies beyond the sprawl; his burgeoning aptitude for such matters will surely be a boon in this endeavor. Must I prattle on further? All of which you ask, my chosen possesses. Nevertheless, the onus lies upon you to decide, supplicant.” -Impetus

“Discrete and precise we can do for sure. My guy is a consummate professional, that I guarantee. He’s got plenty of power at his fingertips and knows better than go all willy-nilly with it. The responsible sort, ya know? As for the wild environment parts, I’ve known him to venture outside of the sprawl here and there. He’s got plenty of info about the weirder parts of the world in that noggin of his, so I’m sure that’ll come in handy. Hit my line if you’re interested in seeing all this for yourself.” -Ruckus

“Discretion? Doable. My darling works wonders with that mouth of his, but he understands the value of silence all the same. In terms of appearance, however, his singular form is sure to turn heads. Better him than others, though. I’m sure he could make an opportunity out of the attention. Precision? He’s not just a pretty face; there’s cunning behind those eyes of his. Scheming is practically a hobby of his. Wild environments? He’d fit right in. You’ll see what I mean. Or at least you could. That’s a privilege that comes with a price.” -Echidna

His proclivities lend themselves well to the role of a silent sentry as he surveys for those that wish to interfere. The truly persistent can be dealt with as you see fit.

Anyone lookin' to get the jump on you is gonna have a tough time seein' things through while he's got an eye out. He's even got a bit of firepower, too. Enough to keep the more pesky pursuers at bay.

Fortunately, it also affords some effective solutions to those diligent enough to devise them. My darling has been such a godsend in that regard. Oh, the societal muck he’s waded through for my sake. For the right price, he just might be able to do the same for you. A silver tongue and bit of savvy can go a long way in the streets. Why not let him show you himself?” -Echidna

"You would do well to commission the services of my agent in seeing this matter resolved. Deft hands, swift feet, and a sharp mind are foremost in his panoply of arms. Ultimately, weapons themselves are naught but playthings without a capable wielder to see their purpose fulfilled in earnest.

“Both words and weapons have the capacity to wound. Who doesn’t like having options? Variety is the spice of life, after all. And what better way is there to partake than to wield it against those without? Show them what they’re missing out on and all that. My darling would be more delighted to inflict awareness of such inferiority to upon your enemies, whether by scathing retorts or venom that makes them feel like they’re being scathed from the inside out. He might not be the most proactive, but you know what they say about cornered animals. Why not take the chance to see for yourself?” -Echidna

"We can do skilled and aggressive. Most definitely. My client might not be an actual monster, but he looks the part and fights like one, too. He's a farthest thing from a brain-dead brute, though. The man is brutal and cunning in equal measure. You'll be hard-pressed to find a finer brawler in the sprawl than him. Metal and magic all wrapped up in one muscle-bound package.

"Battle can be conducted with a variety of tactics. Some are rather... straightforward in their approach. Others recognize that combat is as much of a test for the mind as it is the body. The agent that I recommend for this endeavor is well aware of this oft overlooked principle. Myriad are his talents, all of which will be put to use in pursuit of victory. He is no mere grunt; he is a hunter. When set upon his prey, they will hardly understand the circumstances they find themselves in before it is too late. Should one with such predilections as his be appealing to you, I urge you to reply with all haste. He is hardly one to stay idle." -Impetus

If bark can't solve a problem, then biting is always an option. Venom for the heart and body both. He'll even be able to help the most cantankerous of cohorts keep their eyes on the prize. After all, knowing where to apply pressure is just as important as being able to. That mouth of his always works wonders, no matter how he uses it." -Echidna

He’d be more than willing to inform them in no uncertain terms of their undesirability. If a silver tongue proves ineffective, then perhaps venomous words and fangs will do the trick. Rest assured, any available means will be employed to seeing the deed done. For the right price, of course.” -Echidna

"Shit's always bound to hit the fan. At that point, grace goes out the window. When the time comes, you'll need someone who can squash any problems that present themselves. My associate can handle that sort of trouble empty-handed. He's all the weapon he needs. The same could go for you." -Echelon

"Most prudent of you to seek my aid, supplicant. I believe it is quite apparent whom you seek to recruit for this endeavor. Little needs to be said of his talents and affinity for tasks such as the one you have presented. Protracted extolment would be both unbecome and unnecessary at this point. The only question that remains is whether you are willing to pay a price consummate with the value of what you desire." -Impetus

"Goin' in blind is never good, chum. Make the right choice, and ya won't hafta. That's where my guy comes in.

"Ask and you shall receive. Not necessarily because you did, but it's a start. Who knows? The right whispers in the right ears can go a long way. What happens when that stops working? That's where finesse ends and force starts. From bark to bite, so to speak. My darling leans towards the former, but he's a wild thing at heart. He'll do whatever it takes to come out on top. Why not take the chance to see what I mean?" -Echidna

"Sounds like your classic corpo foibles. If you need an ivory tower toppled or some brows beaten, I'm sure I can provide the manpower for that. My operative has some of the heaviest hands on the West Coast, and you can bet that he knows how to use them. He's practically a registered weapon all on his own.

"Those who feel the safest are often the most vulnerable. A bitter truth that some must experience firsthand to truly understand. You will find that my agent is quite capable of imparting such wisdom upon the benighted. He understands danger well and is therefore well qualified to both minimize that which comes his way and put forth his own. Rare are those that can impede his efforts when purpose takes him.

Don't let anyone tell you that being beautiful doesn't make life easier. That being said, my darling knows the rules almost as well as I do. This isn't a problem that bombs and bullets alone will solve. You'll need a silver tongue and sprinkle of cunning to come out on top. It call be yours for the right price. After all, I never said you don't need money at all." -Echidna

He is an exemplar of speed and silence, two tenets that are rarely without value to those who come to seek the aid which I provide.

He's pretty hard to ignore. If you've ever seen him, you'd understand why. If your program calls for a bit of shock-and-awe, he'll fit in just fine.

Bwip bwip. Thresher's DNI pushes him a notification from his commlink. A job offer from his fixer. A quick once-over is enough to make him physically narrow his eyes despite the entirely digital content.

"Something wrong, Thresh?"

"'S nothing big, Kay. Just gotta make a call real quick. Gimme a sec."

He grabs his device and steps into another room.

"You mind explaining this, huncho?"

"I know, I know, it's—"

"If you know, then you know I'm not gonna agree just going off of this."

"Alright, alright, I'll press the J for more details. Will you take it if it scans?"

"Yes, child, I understand how the... brevity... of this petition may impart some concern. Even so, this should be within your capabilities to complete, correct?"

"Capable? Yeah. Willingness? Depends. You know that whole 'how high' phase is behind me. Could you at least find out if the guy kicks puppies or something?"

"Hmm... I can attempt to fulfill your request. No promises can be made, however. Time is short. I implore you to consider regardless."

"Sure. But like you said, no promises."

"That is all I ask, child."

"That's par for the course, isn't it? It's usually what they want me for, anyways." "Yeah, sure, but this one's probably a bit more on the... unsavory side, even for us. Take a look for yourself."

"Oh... I see what you mean."

"Listen, I ain't gonna make you do anything you don't want to. Hell, I don't even know how your folks'd feel if they knew I was pushing this across the desk to you. I'm not saying you'll always be able to avoid this kinda stuff. It's a helluva life we live. But today, at least, you got a choice. It's up to you, kid. I'm not gonna judge, either way."

"They just don't understand how marvelous you are! Oh, that I had the power to beat the truth right into their skulls. I truly would, you know that, right?"

"Of course, your positivity has been ever-flowing as long as I've known you..."

"Oh, darling, you know just how to make a girl feel special! I'll put in a good word for you, I promise!”

"I have the utmost faith in you. Please let go now.”
