"...Quite possibly now I think..."Achille reeled, the alcohol searing his skull. "...My God, that's quite repulsive, exactly what is this concoction, acid?" He grinned, reeling slightly."
"Ah, oui, Kenji. Well, he's quite the oddball; level headed yes, but highly focused... dedicated, you might say. Expecially with a certain... subject considered."
He grinned conspiratorially, eyes tracking the Order agent as he strode towards the hangar."And good riddance to you too..." Achille grimaced. "...One hundred and twenty million at your back, dieu man, you're in for it. Quite rightly of course."
"...The subject being (of course), the matter of the infected. Oui, there is an element of potential risk when handling xenotypes, but the gains... well, see for yourself."
"...It is my belief that the race known scientifically as the K'hara an in laymans terms as the nomads, may prove inherently reasonable. They're not killing machines, nor are they predatory. To elaborate; they are otherworldly, an introduction to an otherwise disintresting balance. As with all invasive species, they'll either displace, consume, breed with or merely disappear under the influences of their primary competitors; humanity, namely."
"...Yet we are not animals, either of our races. We're determined individuals, both seeking an aspect of the other. The Nomads; quite possibly power, manipulation. Humanity... well, much of the same. By the appreciation of the other we grow in unity; look at the semi-nomadic cloaking device technology for instance, or the hybrid weaponry of our admirable Order watchdogs. All breeds unity, as unity breeds all, even in war..."
"...Apologies if I ramble. Anyway friend, I trust companion Kenji with the sterility of my research department; so should you. Nomad research is ever in demand and hey, any act that lines a pocket is a benign one."
*lowers voice*
"...On a high note, I happen to possess the command codes to all of deck 13's airlocks, so if anything untoward starts crawling... pfft. Quite a deterrent, that."
*Chuckles to himself*
