+> **Shalem 11:** You take point.
+> **Decker:** Why do *I* always have to take point?
+> **Shalem 11:** Because I don't want to get shot.
+> **Decker:** You're a pretty good shot with that thing, huh?
+> **Shalem 11:** Of course.
+> **Decker:** Good. That's good.
+> **Shalem 11:** Yes, it is.
+> **Decker:** Nice suit. Where did you get it?
+> **Shalem 11:** I'm sure you wouldn't know the place.
+> **Decker:** You think you're so much better than me.
+> **Shalem 11:** No. I know that. There's a difference.
+> **Shalem 11:** Let's try to keep this run professional.
+> **Decker:** What are you implying?
+> **Shalem 11:** I'm not implying anything. I'm telling you to stay on the up-and-up.
+> **Decker:** Get bent.
+> **Shalem 11:** Do you know how to handle yourself out here?
+> **Dr. Xu:** I've reviewed the telemetry from countless infiltrations. I think I have a pretty good idea.
+> **Shalem 11:** So... no.
+> **Dr. Xu:** Why are you hanging on to that ancient neural disruptor?
+> **Shalem 11:** It's personal.
+> **Dr. Xu:** But even the most basic contemporary model surpasses it in every regard. Why limit yourself?
+> **Shalem 11:** Stop asking questions or I'll show you what it can do.
+> **Shalem 11:** Eyes up. Try not to get distracted.
+> **Dr. Xu:** I don't get distracted. I notice things that others don't.
+> **Shalem 11:** OK. Don't get yourself killed 'noticing' things that don't matter.
+> **Dr. Xu:** Hey is that an XB-37a console? I haven't seen one of those in the field yet!
+> **Shalem 11:** <sigh>
+> **Shalem 11:** Quick, what's the muzzle velocity of a 7.62 round fired from a M110 rifle?
+> **Dr. Xu:** Depends. At sea level, with standard conditions, I'd say... approximately 780 m/s.
+> **Shalem 11:** Hmmm. You're not completely useless after all.
+> **Shalem 11:** You can see things at a distance, right?
+> **Internationale:** Certain patterns of electronic interference, yes.
+> **Shalem 11:** Hmmm. It would be better if you could see targets. More useful.
+> **Internationale:** Violence isn't always the answer.
+> **Shalem 11:** No, not always. But most of the time it works well enough.
+> **Internationale:** You made a lot of money working as an assassin, didn't you?
+> **Shalem 11:** Yeah, I did alright. I was the best, and my fees reflected that.
+> **Internationale:** Did it help you sleep at night?
+> **Shalem 11:** With that much money you don't need to sleep at night.
+> **Shalem 11:** You wear your politics on your sleeve. That puts you at a tactical disadvantage.
+> **Internationale:** It's worth it. Global revolution is the most important issue facing the world today.
+> **Shalem 11:** Uh. Right. Just don't let it get in the way of the mission.
+> **Shalem 11:** You’re pretty handy with that thing. Where did you learn?
+> **Nika:** I taught myself.
+> **Shalem 11:** Really? Wasn’t that dangerous?
+> **Nika:** Trial and error is the most efficient teacher.
+> **Shalem 11:** You’re good, but you get too close. Someone’s going to get a lucky hit in one day.
+> **Nika:** There is no such thing as luck. Only mistakes.
+> **Shalem 11:** And you never make mistakes?
+> **Nika:** Very rarely.
+> **Nika:** I enjoy working with you. It is good that you were never paid to eliminate someone under my protection.
+> **Shalem 11:** What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, right?
+> **Nika:** You would have been stopped. It would have been messy and sad.
+> **Shalem 11:** If you say so.
+> **Nika:** How many people have you killed?
+> **Shalem 11:** I lost track.
+> **Nika:** I have killed 83. It sometimes... troubles me. Does it trouble you?
+> **Shalem 11:** No. Not since I lost track.
+> **Shalem 11:** You would get more respect if you cleaned up a bit. A fine suit goes a long way.
+> **Sharp:** Why would I care for such trivialities? My clothing is perfectly adequate.
+> **Shalem 11:** You dress like Decker.
+> **Sharp:** Perhaps you have a point.
+> **Shalem 11:** Watch how a professional gets things done.
+> **Sharp:** I too sold my martial skills for cash. We are fellow guns for hire. We are the same thing.
+> **Shalem 11:** A vat of nutri-paste and a fine stake are both food, but they’re not the same thing.
+> **Sharp:** I dislike food metaphors.
+> **Sharp:** You could improve your kill ratio with a couple of augmentations. An external tracking eye, for example, to better analyze ballistics.
+> **Shalem 11:** No thank you, I have to see myself every morning when I shave.
+> **Sharp:** You can get synthetic skin like mine, and never have to shave again!
+> **Shalem 11:** Ooh. You have a technical solution for everything, don’t you.
+> **Sharp:** Today is a good day. Let’s kill some people!
+> **Shalem 11:** If you say so.
+> **Sharp:** You don’t feel a little rush when you take a human life? It’s like popping bubble wrap to me!
+> **Shalem 11:** This is just a job. I haven’t felt anything since 2057.
