Project Daedalus (Issue #4)

[Mimic]

There's only a handful of people I trust and Eagles one of them, if she says it's a good deal then I'm in. Miguel says with a shrug.

He grabs a pen and signs the contract.

There better be a boatload of money involved in this though.

 

[Calinon]

"Yeah, bring in a lawyer," Tyrone says. "But that still doesn't explain why there's such a rush on everything."

 

[Hammerhead]

Random? He seemed alright, when I met him yesterday. Maybe you misjudged him, sir. Although Tyrone is probably right about Strafe. He also seems to harbor a lot of resentment towards this doctor who saved his life, and the lives of his friends.

Jennifer awaits the arrival of the independent legal team before signing anything.

"Tyroc, Tyrone or Ty, but not sir, mkay?" Tyrone says. "And I didn't misjudge jack when it comes to any part of Evolution. They were working for Biogen, and they were more than happy to switch to kill first, capture second mode when we proved tougher than they thought."

Aaron starts flipping through the contract quickly memorizing it. "Am I going to be rich??!!"

 

[Agamon]

"As it states within the contract, you'll recieve a total of $8 million over the 5 years, including 1 million this year, 1.5 the next two and 2 million the final two. All terms of the contract are not negotiable, of course. You either take it as it is, or don't sign it," Winters says, metter-of-factly. She looks at Aaron. "You simply need to sign a waiver, Aaron. Your contract has been signed by your parents already. Your money will be set up in a trust fund. You'll receive a generous weekly stipend until you turn eighteen, when the money will be released to you, with interest. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll contact the lawyers." She takes her phone, moving to the corner of the room to use it.

Sarah glowers as Tyrone mentions Evolution. "I know if Strafe shows his face around me again, he'll regret it. What an arrogant bastard."

"Yeah, I dunno what's the worst part about this job; dealing with the psychos or the idiots like Strafe..." Jersey Devil says, nodding in agreement.

"You met Random yesterday?" Silvertip asks Jennifer, finally speaking. "I assume he was working?"

"And you like him?" Devil adds. "Huh, he's always seemed pretty cold to me."

 

[Mimic]

8 million is good, I can live with 8 million. Any chance I can get an advance? Miguel says with a grin.

 

[Shalimar]

Rachel's eyes go very wide when Winter's spells out exactly how much she was going to be getting paid for this, 5 years was an awful long time, but then again, your pack is your family, and 5 years for a family wasn't that long at all. She did wonder about a few things, like exactly what they would have to do to be earning so much money, but also, what happened if someone got hurt, or if one of the other girls got pregnant, or if somebody just couldn't keep going, but she quickly squashed the worries since some of the others were signing already. Misha had already signed, and he was who Rachel thought of as Pack Leader, so that really did have to make it ok, and Screaming Eagle said it was good too, and she was a Pack Leader as well, just for a diferent pack.

The girl signs the paper excitedly, it would be the first time she would ever have any real money of her own, she could afford an apartment and a bunch of dogs, or maybe even a wolf as a pet, and she could eat out whenever she wanted and have fancy clothes, a million dollars was too much for her to contemplate, let alone 8 million, all of the things she wanted wouldn't cost her more then a couple hundred thousand, not that she had any real concept of that.

 

[Hammerhead]

Of course, sir, Jennifer replies to Tyrone, smiling teasingly.


Then, turning towards American Freedom,Jennifer explains her meeting with Random. Yeah, he was chasing some other Elite in Denver, arranged for my car to be repaired after the accident.

Eight million over a five year contract? Seems a little low, but I guess government work never paid well. Still, there are about ten thousand Elites in the world by rough estimate...the number of reliable Elites seems far lower...it's hard to believe that celebrities receive ten times our salary for simply entertaining...

I'll sign, of course, although giving away five years of my life won't be fun. But it should give me enough time to overcome what happened at K2. Besides, I can probably leverage my position into advertising and endorsements.

Scanning the contract and awaiting the law firm, Jennifer asks I assume that we'll be given similar deals as Justice Elite when it comes to product endorsements and T-Shirts or whatever?

 

[Calinon]

Tyrone starts sifting through the contract.

OOC: I want to make sure this contract doesn't give them license to turn us into government hit men for them, nor perform any sort of medical experimentation on us. I also want to make sure it gives some sort of protection for family and exit clauses for injury and illness, doesn't restrict my public appearances at schools and such. I'm also curious about endorsements.
