I would not advocate discussing powers so openly.

how come?

[mentis_reae]

You are familiar, of course, with SERO and AGI.

[girlyboywonder]

sure. and?

[mentis_reae]

Do you know how they determine their victims?

[girlyboywonder]

pretend i just got here. what would you tell me about them?

[mentis_reae]

If I pretended you just arrived, I would exhaust my breath explaining to you the full range of details. I would prefer to focus purely upon this fact: they value those with rare powers, and will go out of their way to acquire them.

[girlyboywonder]

what counts as rare around here?

[mentis_reae]

Upon that, I cannot comment, as I do not know the full list. Suffice simply to say that you should keep your powers quiet, lest they catch the attention of the wrong element.

[girlyboywonder]

know anyone that does know the full list?

[mentis_reae]

No. No one save the heads of the respective corporations, I suspect, do.

[girlyboywonder]

on file, probably

[...hmmmm.]

security from 20 years ago can't be that good.

[mentis_reae]

Yes, it can, without question. I don't even know if there is a list.

[girlyboywonder]

figure it could be worth a look, though.

[mentis_reae]

Another way to get in trouble with the companies is breaking in.

[girlyboywonder]

there's lots of ways to get in trouble, might as well make it an interesting way.
