"My usual hiring purposes do benefit from layers of repetition about how clean the hire's fingers should be. I suppose that because this is outside of my normal wheelhouse that's why there was nothing said." The squeak of the chair says that he's leaning in a different direction for just a few moments. "I did account for some extra in case the hire wasn't automatically going after Mr. Stewart, but I can only give a relatively<em>de minimus</em>amount up front. And yes, flesh and blood people instead of drones. I dare say I'd probably have... Nevermind."<br/><br/>He taps the credstick down twice before verbally walking its location near the cup of water back towards Athena. When slotted it has 3k on it. "On the one hand, it does seem that he's had to bring in at least one or two new people, but that means that going after them is likely going after a duo instead of singles. I'll have some files on what I was able to dig up forwarded to you in about an hour. I just want to try and confirm that it's two new ones and not somehow one returning with an extra."<br/><br/>Barlow was apparently pausing for dramatic effect. "Because if one has returned I may have to scrounge up extra on short notice. Although for your legitimate business some may come in the form of recommendations while I cover the rest. I'm sure the accountant will love the extra hours."
