three ♕ [locked to creepers]
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a proposition. (And saying ladies and gentlemen to you is no longer insulting! How novel. Speaking of which, Mrs. and Miss Birkin, I am Regene Regetta, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Or it will be.)
Lately, it has come to my attention that this island's security is... lacking, to say the least. I don't mean the metres of concrete, or the titanium frames, or the bulletproof glass.
I'm talking about the fact that I could just waltz into the system controls for the electricity, isolate the lighting, and shut it off. While I was barely concentrating. And to get to the lighting, I went past things with important sounding names like containment and laboratories and GENERAL MAINFRAME POWER.
And this is just the electricity grid. Do you know how secure your security feed is? Do you know how safely filed away your "top secret" files are? Here's a hint: I know where you all are. I know what you're all doing. And I know what you're all going to be doing.
So. My proposition is this: I am offering to perform a complete system security overhaul for the island, and any related projects. What do I want in return? Sanctuary, fairly obtained. I am aware of my... precarious status here. A nuisance. A hanger-on. A drain on resources. All right, so I offer money and gifts and a shoulder to cry on, but it's not what you want. It's not necessary. It just looks desperate. And I don't want that. I want to be useful. I want you to want me.
Think about it.
