This certainly is a hostile world.
[Not that he sounds put out by it... exactly. Perhaps unsurprised. His own world is hostile enough, after all.

...Though there are a few exceptions. Like slavery...and world domination plots. Trust me, you don't know how many nut jobs have tried hiring me to help blow up buildings and stuff.
So, unless you're one of those freaks, I'll keep the job on a need to know basis.

If I were interested in dominating this world, I can't imagine why I would hire a stranger to help with it. That seems like a terrible security risk. And please don't insult me by mistaking me for a slaver.
No, it's nothing like that. I'm interested in documenting the abilities displayed by those they call the Scorched. It's become obvious that some of them are a danger, so it seems we ought to know what we're dealing with in case of another, ah, illness. Or in case of the emergence of another being with similar antisocial intentions.
There is little rush, and I certainly wouldn't ask you to undertake any unnecessary risks.

Have you experienced any unusual incidents?

[Except that one time he burnt himself with his lighter...or, more like, he should have burnt himself. His skin was touching the flame but for some reason it hadn't hurt.
He'd just shrugged it off then, much in the same way he's doing now.]
So basically you want me to observe the people with powers and see if anymore viruses are going around?
