I require more funds for my work. If you are willing to assist in the matter, please respond.

What kind of project are you working on?

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

Many.

However, the one I have in mind would be beneficial to the community. It would be a collection of information publicly accessible to those from otherworlds.

[pinkmin]

I see. Does it take a lot of funds to make information available?

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

It takes space to store the files. I don't intend to invite everyone into my private quarters.

[pinkmin]

Oh, a physical collection?

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

Indeed. A physical collection may be safer than relying on this technology that we have little control over.

What kinda work y'doin', pal?

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

Research and archiving. I can do both fine on my own. However, I don't intend to invite people to my personal residence to peruse the files. I will need another space to store them, as well as set up areas for other work.

[Audio]

[thekingsshield]

That sure does sound important! I'll spare some munny if it means helpin' out!

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to contact you when putting everything together.

What is your name?

[Audio]

[thekingsshield]

Name's Goofy! Nice t'meetcha!

[Well. That was quite a name.

But he wasn't so much of an asshole that he would spout out insults for no reason and damage potential alliances. Such a name might mean something else on another world, and he'd done nothing but offer help.]

It is a pleasure. I am Research Chief Verstael Besithia of the Imperial Army. Should you ever wish to see some of my work, you are free to take a look. I'm certain you would understand the value in it.

[daikonrose]

That's really amazing.... So you can ask for it plain and outright, just like that?

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

I see no reason it wouldn't be possible to request assistance. My work has value for the entire community, so it's only sensible that others would be willing to contribute as well.

[daikonrose]

Oh! So everyone already knows what it's for? I see! It makes sense that way--I should have figured that out on my own. Excuse me.

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

I doubt others know the extent of my work. At times it is best to stay quiet. However, I have given aid and contributed to the community even while disadvantaged. What I can manage with proper funding... It could certainly save many of the people here.

[Audio]

[daikonrose]

... So, you're some kind of... hero to the public, that everyone knows?

[He looks very chipper into the camera, all traces of last month's illness gone by now, replaced by amusement.]

Straight to the point! That's just how you are. Well, of course I'll help. You know I'm always available! I'm assuming what you're looking for is contact? If it's anything else, we'll have to discuss.

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

Yes, more contact appears to be necessary. We have often seen each other at events, however.

it's gonna keep being video

[begguiling]

We have! But if more is necessary, I'm not opposed to appointments.

With generating contact, correct? I would be happy to lend you a hand.

[ LITERALLY a hand to hold, even, since it’s pretty much a form of currency. ]

[Audio]

[original_is_best]

It would be preferable if you would hold my arm, so that my hands would be free to continue work.

[Yes, he was a bossy guy. But at least he's a straight shooter?]

[iustaegis]

That sounds even more efficient! Or even if I just placed my hand upon your shoulder. Just about anything will do. :)

[original_is_best]

That would be acceptable. You are not afraid of arachnids, are you?

[iustaegis]

Not at all. You may work on anything you like, so long as we remain in contact.
