conversations.value: You're a criminal. You're very good at what you do. One day someone contacted you and hired you to do a job. He made if very clear that if you didn't cooperate -- *whenever* he wanted you to work for him -- you would "find your liberty severely curtailed. Permanently." You know it's no good to run from him. He has the kind of resources that he can find you.
  
  So, he calls, you come running. It's not too bad a gig -- you get to keep any unconsidered trifles you find along the way, not to mention the 'expense' money he fronts you. Only this time, it's different. This time he called some other people, too...
  
  
  Think of a *Leverage*-type verse crossed with the 'boxed criminal' trope. You're not 'helping those who can't help themselves' so much as you're possibly a very important but unacknowledged cog in the 'saving the world' machinery (or maybe not).
  
  Players are encouraged to write their own cards, provided they stay within the basic criminal-specialist archetypes.
  
  Looking to have 4-5 players total, for a manageable crew.

conversations.value: Booze, drugs, gambling... maybe it's that one-true-love you can't let go of. Whatever it is, you need to feed it -- before anything else. If you can't, the results are never pretty.
conversations.prefix: Bad Habits:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can pretend to be a lot of different people, because there's nothing really distinctive about you. Sometimes, that's a *good* thing.
conversations.prefix: One of Those Faces:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You *know* how things will work best, and if people just do *exactly* what you say, it'll all be fine.
  
  You can't seem to resist the urge to micro-manage everything, and you love it when you can manipulate people.
conversations.prefix: Control Freak:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Somebody's paying the rent on this place, but they haven't been in here in a very long time. Everything is covered in thick dust and it smells like old machine oil.
conversations.prefix: Abandoned Warehouse:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A twenty-five story structure of glass and steel.
  
  If you look at the company directory, you learn the following:
  
  1st floor – lobby. 
  
  2nd-4th floors – accounting firm
  
  5th – 10th floors – corporate offices
  
  10th – 20th floors – law offices
  
  20th-25th floors asset management company.
conversations.prefix: The Inverness Building:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've all dealt with him before, so you know how dangerous he is. His good graces are the only thing standing between you and a very dank prison in the kind of country  not known for its stellar human rights records. This is not a man  you want to double-cross. *Ever.*
conversations.prefix: Your Mysterious Employer:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There's a bunch of other people here.  You're supposed to work with *them*? Seriously? Whose bright idea... oh, yeah. *His*.
conversations.prefix: And Who Are These Guys?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The name says it all. Doesn't matter what else you do -- call it retrieval specialist, call it tactical, call it security -- when things get physical, you're the one they count on.
conversations.prefix: Hitter:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can hack the NSA, CIA, and a geostationary satellite from the back of a VW van while ordering pizza and setting up a raid in WOW for after dinner. You can do some computer builds, but machinery ain’t really your thing.
conversations.prefix: Hacker -- Software:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can steal the ring off a bride’s finger and several dozen watches and wallets while you’re on the way out, letting the valet do the work of fetching your new getaway car. Who needs an ATM when you’ve got a business district at lunch-time?
conversations.prefix: Thief -- Up Close and Personal:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A MacGyver type, you could build a remote listening device from two cans and a piece of string or a robot with a pair of Atari consoles and some tinkertoys. If it has moving parts, you can figure it out.  You can do some programming, but probably can’t hack the NSA, CIA and a geostationary satellite without a little help from your friends.
conversations.prefix: Hacker -- Hardware:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Short Game’s good, but taking it slow pays off with the big scores. Nobody’s handing you half a mil over a beer, but what you’ve got is an *investment*. By the time they realise it’s not, they can’t even remember what you looked like.
conversations.prefix: Grifter -- Long Con:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Get in, get out, get the money. You could talk a girl-scout into paying you for her own cookies. A master of the impossible bet, you always walk out of the bar richer than you went in. But it only holds up for the short-term. You've never had the patience for the slow game.
conversations.prefix: Grifter -- Short Con:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: They never saw you coming. Or leaving, for that matter. The less contact with people you have, the better. The last time someone caught you on camera, it was for a school picture.
conversations.prefix: Thief ... in the Night:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Nothing gets you excited. Sirens blaring, guns waving, hone of it fazes you in the least. You keep your head when everything else falls apart.
conversations.prefix: Cool and Calm:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: In a sprint for the door, you're always first. You float like a butterfly, leap like a gazelle (you may not necessarily sting like a bee, however).
conversations.prefix: Quick on Your Feet:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can always come up with an explanation on the spot. Your saving throws always seem to be critical successes.
conversations.prefix: Think Fast!:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You love it when a plan comes together, and it usually does because you tend to plan for all possibilities.
conversations.prefix: Contingency Champ:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Was someone talking to you? You didn't notice. You were too busy getting the job done. You don't goof around or get distracted by irrelevant details.
conversations.prefix: Laser Focus:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can take a beating from anybody and still be on your feet at the end. You could fall from a good height or get a bag of bricks dropped on you and you'll shake it off and keep going. A few bruises or broken bones aren't going to faze *you*.
conversations.prefix: Tough:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've got a head on your shoulders and you're not afraid to use it. You may not be the *fastest* thinker, but you make up for it with a store of knowledge that could rival Wikipedia.
conversations.prefix: Smarter than the Average Bear:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've got a guy. And he maybe knows this other guy. Anyway, what you need, they can probably get hold of it. Maybe. For a price, of course, these things don't come cheap.
conversations.prefix: Friends in Low Places:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You love the adrenaline and you like to push any situation to its breaking point. It's way more fun to enter through a 20th floor window than the lobby door, even if it will attract more attention.
conversations.prefix: Risky Business:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Someone has one, and you're on it. They don't care about your job, your friends, they just want you dead.
conversations.prefix: Hit List:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A unique piece of ink, or perhaps just a distinctive wound somewhere that someone might recognise it. It's probably in your police file and would fit nicely on a wanted poster.
conversations.prefix: Identifying Marks and Scars:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whether it's a problem with a authority, you're headstrong and cocky, or you just plain don't get along with people, you tend to piss others off. Whether you enjoy doing so, or are just plain angry and bitter, it doesn't make you a great team player.
conversations.prefix: Bad Attitude:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You just don't seem to know how to walk away. Whether you start to believe your own con or think you're on some sort of crusade, you become obsessed with following the storyline through, even if the plot ends in tragedy.
conversations.prefix: Caught Up In The Game:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's only one reason you're here. You want your share of the score. Period. You're a professional, and 'professional' means 'paid'. Anyone got any questions?
conversations.prefix: Let's Make Lots of Money:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Money's one thing, but there's only so much you can spend in a casket. Maybe you have enemies, or maybe the enemy is within.
conversations.prefix: Stayin' Alive:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It could be family, or your lover, or just the best friend who saved your life more times than you can count. You got into this life for them, to make sure they were safe and taken care of.
conversations.prefix: Dedicated to the One I Love:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This is the only thing you know how to do. Your family's always been in this line of work and you've never learned anything else.
conversations.prefix: One Trick Pony:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're on the run from something or someone. It's a good thing crime pays and you're good at it, because you could never settle into a normal life. Those days are gone.
conversations.prefix: Don't Look Back:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Whatever you've done would shock even these career criminals. So, it's best if they never find out.
conversations.prefix: Secrets and Sins:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It certainly isn't the Ritz, but on the bright side, they're not too vigilant about recording IDs or taking credit cards.
conversations.prefix: The Motel:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're probably going to be here for a couple of days, so it's best to get a feel for the place, or attempt to make it comfier.
conversations.prefix: Getting Acclimated:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're probably going to be here for a couple of days, so it's best to get a feel for the place, or attempt to make it comfier.
conversations.prefix: Getting Acclimated (copy):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're going to need one, if you plan to get out of this without a shiny new pair of bracelets. Time to lay hold of those assets and get this act together.
conversations.prefix: A Solid Plan:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There's nothing remarkable about this cafe, except for the fact it's still in business. But the coffee is cheap and hot (and a little burnt from sitting on the burner), and it's the kind of place where they don't hover or stare at people to make sure they don't linger.
conversations.prefix: Downmarket Cafe:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A Self proclaimed "Gangsta", you've probably committed several different crimes.
conversations.prefix: Common Street Thug:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Whomever your "crew" is, you are loyal to them, their enemies are yours, and their friends are yours.
conversations.prefix: Team Player:

conversations.value: A High School dropout, your sadly not smarter than the average bear.
conversations.prefix: Unedcuated:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Your always looking for ways to get some more money. Bling Bling.
conversations.prefix: All About The Benjamins:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: No one suspects you, because you so very much do not look the part.
conversations.prefix: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.prefix: Wild:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: When you can think at the required speed of dishing out code like it's nobody's business, it comes in handy in other situations where a solution needs to come and quickly.
conversations.prefix: Think Fast!:

conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Cash came be great, but saving your skins is something that's more appealing than the life of luxury; and to boot, your own conscious is a pesky reminder of what your doing might just leave you to regret it one day. Hopefully you won't come to regret how great it feels to hack ins to other's systems.

conversations.value: Making contacts, acquiring information, & locating persons of interest are just a few of the skills in a spy's repertoire. Both valued and despised by the people they serve, they often are cut loose for political or financial reasons. But once ingrained, a spy's instincts aren't so easy to let go...

conversations.value: Your such a tough guy ain't ya?
conversations.prefix: Aggressive:

conversations.value: One of the results of having been around the globe performing missions is that you have quite a breadth of experiences. Sometimes this means good memories. Sometimes not.
conversations.prefix: Breadth of Experience:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Technology isn't just computers and electronics. Sometimes you have to get creative!
conversations.prefix: The Mother of Invention:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Have you ever looked at a bug up close? Really looked? They just don't seem right -too many parts or something.
conversations.prefix: Creepy-Crawlies:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're already used to messes, so what's a cockroach or two moldy splotches difference going to make?
conversations.prefix: A Bit Of A slob:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The most successful predator is one that best knows its prey. Your chosen profession demands you study your target diligently. Habits, preferences, little quirks that can lead to big payouts, you take careful note of everything they do and say to find their weakness and use it against them. 
conversations.prefix: Powers of Observation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're skills in software hacking were never the greatest to begin with, but now you're more than a little rusty.
