[font=Palatino Linotype]Like all the times before the videofeed starts up, today revealing Viva and Blue, both sitting on a comfortable-looking leather couch, side by side, wearing stylish business-suits. Viva a dark red one and the Blue, obviously, a dark blue one. And it's Viva who starts to speak at first.

[color=#CCBBCC]I'll get right to business and start with you, Senorita Lesley.
I won't beat around the bush, I think today is just your lucky day.
Not only did you deliver some really nice footage there, but you had the fortune of working right by my and Blue's side.
And we both came to the conclusion that you, being quite a nice person who delivers solid work without hesitation, should receive a more 'special' bonus.

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]She turns to face Blue, who just smiles at the camera for a moment before continuing.

[color=#CC99CC]Well, Vickie, let me say first that you know how good a job you do yourself, but you've quite some extra qualities going for you.
You're a decent shot, seem quite reliable, friendly but not too friendly, not excessively greedy, and first and foremost you seem like quite a well-disciplined professional.
I like that a lot, and what I've heard from Viva about the, well, 'trip' you were on with her just reinforces the impression I'm having of you.
Not to mention that Dickie, whom you might remember as 'I Crashed', and Jimbo, whom Viva refers to as 'Commandante Night', both had only good things to say about you as well.
Apart from your other qualities, you seem to be quite good company too and I like that even more.

Now on to business.
I heard from you, and so did Viva as she told me, that you are quite interested in acquiring a rather special ship.
Which one was it again Viva?

[color=#CCBBCC]A Bayonet, Blue.

[color=#CC99CC]Ah, right. You see Vickie, I happen to have some ties to a few of the gentlemen who are in charge of the distribution of that particular type of ship.
And by the 'gentlemen' I mean that particular military organization known as the Hellfire Legion.
I've decided to put in a good word for you and contacted Lord Commander Joyeuse if he might not feel inclined to part with a surplus Bayonet Heavy Fighter.
As you've probably gathered yourself I can be quite convincing, so I've a good feeling in regards to that matter.

And now to...

[color=#CCBBCC]Senorita Justice.

[color=#CC99CC]Would you like to continue for me Sugarcakes?

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]Viva flashes Blue a little sheepish grin and suddenly pecks her cheek before whispering for a second.

[color=#CCBBCC]Only because you asked so nicely.

[color=#CC99CC]You're liking this, huh?

[color=#CCBBCC]You know that I like doing business mi amor.

But si, to senorita Justice now.
While you didn't blow up a Dreadnought this time, you delivered another solid display of raw, unstoppable destruction, so we'll be adding another two and a half Million Credits this time.
Just to make it a nice and even number, and to encourage you to continue of course, si?

And with that out of the way, we get to my darling Colonial Kaze.
So many claims, so much footage, so much participation of yours in there.
But in the end what is clearly visible the most is your greed, which is quite outstanding even for a Mercenary.
Blue and I have decided to make you a special offer, just because we both like you so, so much.
Mi amor, will you tell her?

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]Blue laughs softly a bit, just for a second, and then nods slowly before taking over for Viva.

[color=#CC99CC]You see KamiKaze, what Viva said is true. We do both like you quite a lot, and it's evident you like me.
Even though you might not like my dearest Viva as much, I think you two would get along nicely in the future.
So in short, you get a special offer instead of your regular pay.
Don't get me wrong here, I can pay you just the same but let's face it, most of the kills there you assisted with mainly so I should be cutting the pay in half in the first place.
But it's actually that greedy side of yours that opened you a big door.

You can choose.
A paycheck, or you can have a place to stay at in Liberty, at any time, no matter when, no matter why, aboard the Stellar Ranger. Aboard my ship.
As, let's say, an 'honorary member' of Liberty's Finest.
And to sweeten that offer a bit, the same goes for your lover Jordy.

Either forty-seven and a half Million Credits, or your two's own suite in my lovely hotel.
Pick one and tell me during your next transmission.

[color=#CCBBCC]And darling, before we cut the feed, you should know that this isn't something we would offer to anyone just like that.
It's quite a rarity, so before you choose the paycheck just because you want even more money, or because you may not like me, well.
Take into account that money isn't everything in Sirius, and that some other things can be worth much more in the long run.

[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]And so the screen fades to black once again, with a serious-looking Viva and a smirking Blue.
