Look, I heard what you said to your buddy. Ordinarily I wouldn't give a shit about you, no matter how hot you are, but I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the matriarchy. So if you were, hypothetically, plotting espionage, then I might be willing to offer my assistance. Think about it. The clock is ticking, though. I can't promise I won't take another job. ***Burns walks away.***

"Oh. Okay. Sure why not?"

Excellent. So, about my payment. I don't really need anything you have. Anything I need, I can steal. Information, however is different. The only way to steal information is through torture, and, well, it wouldn't be very good for business if word got out that I was water boarding clients. So here's my offer: You tell me everything about what you're doing. In return, I can promise you that I can get you everything you need for this little spy mission of yours to not fail horribly. This includes, but is not limited to, weapons, intel, transport, and gear. Sound fair?

"Okay. So honestly I haven't any idea why I'm doing this, I was just sent out here for something or something."

"And you weren't told what?"

"No. I'll take a Lie detector test if you don't trust me. I kind of remember something about Intel. Or something."

"Let's skip that. Did they tell you anything else?"

"Not really. Just get close to the queen which I really. Really. Really don't want to do."

"Hey, you're female aren't you? There's a start. Now, your friend said he can see and hear everything that you see and hear. I'll need access to that. Your best bet to get closed to the queen is to enter her city looking beaten, exhausted, and generally as though you've just been through hell. Say that you're here to find a home among the matriarchy. Tell them you've been used, tricked, and humiliated by men, all that shit that they want to hear. I obviously can't stay with you physically, but I'll stay in communication. " ***Burns hands Serena a memory unit.*** "This has maps of the city, it's underground, and intel regarding security. It should help you if things get bad. I'll be camped out about 5 minutes away with a dropship just in case you need a quick extraction. Remember, I want to spy on the queen just as much as your employer. Once we establish a com link, I'll be on my way, as I trust you will be. Oh, take this, too." ***Burns hands Serena a hard light pistol.*** "Just in case."
