YES: Fjg, FjO, WqV, Cux
NO: QRg,
Alexis and Naomi are coming and Kiara seems to be in a wishy washy situation, vote wise, so I'll have a small follow up vote that will be open for the next 10 hours. Casey had some discussion but not really enough to warrant a follow up vote by herself but due to a certain offer, she's technically available as a choice if you wish.

Right before the Handler starts explaining something about X-Corp and the mission involving them, you get a short text message from Adam. You skim through it to see what the hubba is about.
"Benedict is being rowdy. Have an available spot for him on your mission? It's fine if you don't."
Ah! Yeah, yeah, you completely forgot about that offer he made to have Benedict as an ally. Kinda slipped your mind with everything that was being thrown your way. You take a moment to generate what you know about him into a short blurb in your head...
>BENEDICT. A chef that's partially transformed into an anomaly. Unique half-machine, half human anatomy grants immense strength and physical resistances, has anomalous powers and abilities. Fractured mind that requires careful observation, UNSTABLE. (+$320 if you hire him. You get more money hiring him as you raise Adam's RAPPORT.)
You take a moment to finalize what allies you bring. Alexis and Naomi are coming no matter what.
With RAPPORT ITEM, you're only giving Alexis 19% of the mission's reward money but Naomi is still asking for $195. You're a bit tossed up on Kiara...
Do you bring Kiara along?
>YES. She's a robot, she's good at soaking things up, and a female reporter might appease whatever shit X-Corp wants with that vague 'feminine' thing. (-$140.)
>NO. You don't really think she's necessary on this mission and she might be more useful if you're dealing with anomalies.
Do you bring Benedict along?
>YES. You're deadly curious what's up with him and he seems like excellent physical and anomalous muscle for this mission. (+$320.)
>YES...but bring Casey along to help manage his mental state. She can help tard wrangle him. (+$220)
>NO. We already have one schizo and it's you!!! But yeah, maybe save him for another time.
