"It seems we have an agreement!" Auxilia nodded. "I can handle the initial message. Unless there's someone specific you want, I think Major Jack of CHESS and Kanna of the Firewall Remnant will probably be the best points of contact. Give me a bit and I'll have them up."<br/><br/>"Do we have to? Dealing with Nephilim is a little... sordid."<br/><br/>"I think we might have to."<br/><br/>"What, I don't get a vote?"<br/><br/>"Well, three of the five hero slash hero-alikes here just went for the plan, so you can vote, but..."<br/><br/>"What,<em>you</em>don't get a vote?"<br/><br/>"Oh! Yes! Then it's one million, two hundred and twenty-three thousand, six hundred and eighty-seven in favor, to one opposed." Auxilia stuck her tongue out playfully at Silvia. "Seriously though, this is probably the right thing to do here. Without a serious recruitment drive or some kind of unbeatable advantage in intelligence, we need alliances to accomplish all our objectives and save the day."<br/><br/>"I... suppose getting to rub Major Jack's nose in the fact that I'm a hero now might be fun."<br/><br/>"Please don't. While we wait for a return message, is there anything else?"<br/><br/>"Are you going to go over the 401k plan now, or what?"<br/><br/>Auxilia scratched her head, "ooh, well, maybe we could, now that you mention it? It's really important for recruitment, you know. A lot of superteams aren't of the opinion that they'll make it to retirement age and even more than being trapped in another dimension or turned into cheese that really reduces retenti-"<br/><br/>"Auxi, I was joking."<br/><br/>"Oh."
