make you break into a sweat and see what the amount of detail that I can manage to glean and infer from this exchange with Carmen.
If they were being specific about what was being delivered, then that means they had the resources and the means to give you what amounts to be scrap to others. Waste not and all that. And given that they're a picky eater and have gone through enough biomass filtered through their gaze that they're willing to share what they don't 'want' to others, means they likely don't have.
And the fact that this deal exists means that they don't have the relics needed to efficiently sift through biomass for the powersets that they crave to consume out of "want" instead of "need". Having vast quantities of biomass to filter and no means of efficiently filtering them for personal enrichment? Having to shuffle all the excess waste and use them for resources to bargain with others? Which means they lack Consumption enhancing relics an Engine (purified or corrupted) or a like our Arbiter's Appetite, or are getting their core powersets enhanced by augmentations out the wazoo after they've got their core sets capped off. The third possibility is that they have enhancing relics and are capped off, but they're committing to excess predation in order to slow us down with the current contracts that they have. Which means they aren't as "wealthy" in hard assets but like valuable relics but more wealthy in "liquidity" like spare bio for consumption.
They've got a hint of someone hailing from ontario Canada, and their main benefactor came from the west coast. And given the west coast is mainly dominated by California and what not and how the west coast is a entry port of hub for international daughters....I can extrapolate that our benefactor is likely an Asian in ethnicity. Ontario Canada's got a sizable asian community in toronto, and given how Asians tend to keep to others of similar ethnicities (mostly by language) we might expect Carmen to divulge that the benefactor having a thick or slight Asian Accent to their voice.
