"uh," says 73-6. "well, i was thinking maybe a better stipend, a new gun, maybe a motorcycle, with, like, a gun on top of the motorcycle, maybe some shell upgrades, maybe like, a strix, maybe a retirement plan..."
Sosa bursts into laughter again.
73-6 laughs too.
"You're a funny man, 73-6," Sosa says. "And such refreshingly simple tastes, for the most part."
"maybe a priority extraction," 73-6 says. "if things go wrong."
"I like that, 73-6. Consider priority extraction yours. And I'll talk to your handlers about kicking some more... official tech your way. So you don't have to find it yourself." Sosa leans back. "I'm told you've been visiting the Black Stalls."
"yes sir."
"Very classy, 73-6. Pricy hardware."
"yes sir."
"Not a lot of agents could afford to shop there, but you're not a lot of agents, are you?"
"i saved my stipend for a while."
"And the Strix. That's the favored weapon of former agent 14-1, isn't it? The decommissioned asset. It says here on your file you worked with him for a while."
73-6 swallows. His saliva tastes a little like formaldehyde.
"Working with an unliving legend. How was that, 73-6?"
