"C'mon. How often do you see this recorded? Even I know R-Corp are pretty big shots-" You grimace. That robot has ruined that term for you. "Seeing them end in such a grand way... and hey, c'mon, three anomalies? Four if you count those meat boys? How often do you see THOSE in one fight. Especially a certain star of a century, you know? Or a city, mayhaps. Picked riiight from the streets."
You hear a squeak over the line, followed by papers rapidly being shuffled. "D-did you say a Star of the City? S-shit, we don't get those often...a-and the other anomalies, the meat, the violence..."
"That, and low quality?" You continue from your little speech. "Buddy. You gave us these cameras. Bon-a-fide A-Corp security cameras. You telling me A-Corp of all people skimmed out on the rewards? Look at our file, we worked with ya before."
A muffled voice is heard over the line as well. Something older and masculine, maybe her manager? He doesn't sound too pleased. If she was squeaking before, you would've confused her for a church mouse at this point. "U-uh, they're OUR cameras that I w-was talking about? UHHHHHH!"
"S-sorry, sorry, sorry!" She folds like a pile of wet paper towels. Good, good, you got her in your hands.
[HOPELESS WRECK] "You know, it would be such a waste if this footage wasn't seen in prime time. All over some minor little disagreements. Tell you what, though..."
"I want a timeslot that'll give me better views. If prime time isn't an option, at least the 6-7 PM timeslot. Something a little later. Let P-Corp power up your night, eh?" You wink. Not like she could see it, but you felt like doing it anyways.
"Yes, yes, and I, uh, in my total lack of judgement I, uh, I can offer you some better, uh, payment for that. To, uh, keep that little comment about the cameras tucked away. You know? Th-they are the highest quality!" She's muttering and speaking a lot faster now. Clearly you knocked her off of whatever script she was on. Wish this could've happened with the P-Corp guy but hey, it is what it is.
