"Never said he'd 'hurt' you you know, and I did just finish saying that he liked watching the female employees from a less-than-known camera in the showers - you know, where we met? - so I think you can put 2 and 2 together here..." she explained, but didn't go into more detail as she continued to listen...<br/><br/>"No, I'm not joking, EVERYONE with power tries to invade EVERYONE's privacy, and the only thing I didn't have access to was anything you did that wasn't associated with, licensed for, or purchased with your SIN." was the quick response of the smaller woman as she was brought something that smelled like it might have unleaded in it - not really, but it smelled troll-and-dwarf strong if nothing else - as her 'strong as hell' drink "Seriously, every time you buy something on your SIN-registered debit accounts and credit lines, it means it's connected to you, permanently.  It's used everywhere, more 'everywhere' than this country's SSN's back when this used to be part of the USA and not the UCAS, and you broadcast your SIN wherever you go, especially in your 'high security' corp-country you step foot on daily.  All you need is the right permissions - extremely easy to do - and you can see the SIN and with the same permissions all it takes is a proper - and easy - database search and you can piece together their 'legit' life from the day they were born... a bit too over my head, but not for a good friend of mine.  I think you'd like her you know, another incentive to consider working with me!"<br/><br/>This time the dwarf ordered 'what she has there' after making her fourth pint of synth-ale disappear.  Wasn't even fazed yet; this woman could drink, that was certain.<br/><br/>"And you're right, you don't invade privacy, take hostages, or bribe people..." she said, smirking (she liked smirking it seemed; some lines of it could be seen in her face) "You just do background and security checks, detain and arrest people, and financially reimburse 'favors'... same or similar actions just semantics really at that point.  No, what you actually are in the business of is providing a security service for a fee, or in other words doing a job for money.  I do the same thing, just mine have been deemed less 'appropriate' in the legal eye for one reason or another, yours... well, let's face it most of the bitterly poor public eye it seems here have next to no respect for you, sheila, sad to say, but at least it's legal, if some might say 'unfortunately'... another difference is I get paid more money than I can effectively spend hand over fist.  You get, what, less than 1% of 1% of 1% of the people you protect, right?  Stand around five days or more a week for forty plus hours or more total?  I could work one day a week and STILL be able to live where I do now, with extra, and honestly?  Our, ah, 'paychecks' tend to come from the same person, on occasion, and they still pay me more for doing a job... shall I continue, or is your head dead-set on going back to work tomorrow to wait for something to happen?"
