[i]Spoken like a true Dojo-woman,[/i] he thought bitterly. "Perfect. I can cut straight to the chase then. I understand that you know your infamous negation fields are quite valuable to most individuals around here." He didn't want to waste any more time with the purple-haired warlord with the knife on her belt. The faster he could get her out of there, the less room there would be to anger her and start a fight. Or maybe that wasn't a bad thing. After all, the savages of the Dojo respected strength over all. "The offer is simple: if you supply me or teach me to create these fields of yours, you will be given a considering discount for our services. Let's say... 80% or some. The ability to immediately disable technology would be quite an asset for any haywire machines people may leave lying around." Mason cursed himself this time. Old habits really did die hard - the word "asset" unconsciously slipped off his tongue. While it made sense in context, he knew better not to refer to almost anything in field agent talk.
