[This pops up on the magitek a few days after the dossier for the upcoming mission; Fiona's voice is smooth and friendly, like she's quite practiced at speaking to people.]

Hey, Ophelia. Fiona here.

Looks like our next mission requires some backstory work -- and unlike last time, we can't rely on "ignorant tourist." So, because of my experience with this sort of, uh... situation, I'm willing to help everyone out, because I'd rather we didn't all get thrown in cyber-jail because one of you screwed up.

I'm also from a universe where cybernetics are commonplace, so I can help you get the lowdown on that. [Just don't ask her about technical details. It will be embarrassing for everyone involved.]

So, let me know if you need help, advice, whatever -- we're all in this together, after all. And, as you all know, I'm an altruist.

[Intake of breath to say that he is ready to do exactly that.

Does sound kinda inefficient when y'say it out loud.

[cachemoney]

Or when you use critical thinking skills. But, you know. Whatever.

[tormado]

H-hey! I thought this was a judgment free zone!

[cachemoney]

No? Not sure who told you that.

[tormado]

You said you were an altruist!

This is the meanest altruism I've ever received.

[cachemoney]

You don't know what altruism means, do you.

[tormado]

Of course I do!

[Beat.]

Selfless concern for the well-being of others.

[He absolutely looked that definition up.]

You can't be mean and selfless at the same time!

[cachemoney]

Well. I'm doing it. Oh, no.
