Look, man. I dunno if your employers have you caught up on what's going on here, but that's all this dinky job is to me. I don't care if I'm bargaining this thing away for money or favors; whatever happens with this info? Not my circus, not my monkeys.
I don't give a fuck who gets this intel. I care what I get for it.
You should care. You're Terran. Just like the rest of us. Like the woman whose career you're holding hostage. Do you even know what would happen if that information gets out?
Well, at least that tells me exactly who you're working for. Thanks, dude.
[ she leans back on her heels, not looking all that concerned about what he has to say. ]
I really couldn't care less how the Federation tries to get its shit in order. Government or no government, what I like to do is pretty illegal, so it's no skin off my nose if they take a hit.
Besides, if this is going to affect them that much? Maybe your friends aren't the best choice to try pulling the Terrans together. Just a thought.

It's not just about what you can get in trade.

You haven't found a buyer yet, have you?

Not one who's willing to pay what I want. Your boss and the other guys who want this thing? They're not doin' a ton to outbid each other.
[ meaning, she's been picky. ]
Why?
no subject
For good reason. Why don't you find a new toy to play with? I hear there's an Andarian crystal several lightyears away in the Polaris sector.
