You have to be KIDDING me, Maupassant! We came all the way out here, just to shuttle the guy all the way back without even..."Through her shower she racks her brain, trying to think of a way to turn this around. Didn't those idiots on Earth WANT to be saved? What was ten thousand next to even the CHANCE they'd find something useful? Every time she went down that road, she got so mad she had to stop and do relaxation exercises.Finally, over room service breakfast, she sent another message to Valerie.Let me just make sure I'm reading you right. You want me to offer him twenty thousand to come with us back to Earth? If that is correct, I have some follow up questions and observations.1) You do realize that Raive is a wanted criminal, is stuffed absolutely full of black market cybernetic alterations, and that you're asking me to ask him to come willingly into the very heart of enemy territory for...what? A lousy twenty grand? I'll be lucky if he doesn't burn my face off.2) Furthermore, was our mission not just to find Raive and get his help, but ALSO to then actually go to the planet and find technology? If we bring Raive back, we'll be -at best- delaying the second...and to my mind most critical...part of this mission by weeks at minimum. Is that worth a lousy ten grand?Please help me out here, Val...because I am confused. I thought we'd want Raive to take us seriously, but I'm not sure how he can be expected to if you ask me to behave like a moron. Considering what's out here, and especially considering what's at stake, ten thousand seems like its more than justified.What's really going on here?</blockquote>
