"Yep. Four. Now, granted, a half dozen ETF agents and some random goons? Maybe it's enough." Lex half-heartedly shrugs. "Maybe. I wouldn't bet on it."
"All we're asking is for us help you for a small payment for all six of us. We're not asking for much. I say..." You're not sure how much to ask. You gesture at the rest to spit out their offers.
"Not much of a fighter. $50." Alexis doesn't bother pretending she's any actual good in a fight. "I can try talking them down?"
"Killed an anomaly before. Know how to fight one. $100." Ashley holds up the hunting knife you gifted her. "Got this from said anomaly actually."
Lex shows off the barbed wire wrapped around his fist alongside the PARADIGM draped over his shoulders. "Killed a...what was it? X5? Yeah, something cool. $150 for me!"
"I CAN MAKE THEM HURT." Wendy tries her best to not look TOO crazy but her toothy smile isn't helping her. "$125."
"I KILLED ONE TOO. $75."
You pipe in with your own experience such as killing the Admiral and Dreary Night Murderer along with your encounters with the anomalous. After all is said and done, the Agents take a moment to stew on this information. You don't bother offering them a price for your services.
>45!
"We did hear something about an X5 being killed in the Infinite Sea. You do match the description of the supposed person who did it." Phi rubs her chin for a moment. She's clearly deep in thought. "Okay. How about this? We'll pay a lump sum of $400 for all of you. Drone and Office Lady seem like dead weight but the rest of you are fine. Especially the Deer Lady."
"I FIND THAT ASSESTMENT TO BE QUITE DISAPPOINTING." Quentin forces his shell to twist its mouth into a frown. Took a lot of effort considering how stiff his frozen body is. "FINE. NICOLE?"
You shrug. Hey, that's good enough for you. You plan on giving that money back to them anyways for some relics. "Sure. Actually, though, this is going to sound weird but I'd like to immediately spend that on some of the relics you have. I got the cash." You dig in to pull out $500. "We'll treat that $400 as a discount. $500 for three artifacts."
The agents mutter and argue amongst each other if it's worth it but they seem to decide that $500 for both your services AND pawning off some relics so they can focus on the anomalies is worth it. You quickly exchange cash with them to receive...
