[b][i]Reinhard 'Tenno' Martin[/i][/b]

"Sure," Tenno said as he walked over and took a large sip of the burning alcohol from one of the glasses; he was a Mystic [i]Adept[/i]; he can take this. Besides, it took him all he had not to lose himself in alcoholism when he found himself not just free, but with enough nuyen to buy... Drink.

Either way, he let the others plan; he had lost faith in his own intelligence and genius a long time ago. After all, nothing had saved them from the fall of the Flux State and the torment that had followed. An entire nation that claimed not to be a government; a state that was not a puppet of the corpos or a force for stasis. Good things never really lasted in this crapsack world, didn't they?

Without prompting, Tenno took another sip, then another, then yet another, before saying glumly, "The Flux State was a good thing. And it's never coming back. Not as it once was; the Corpos can leave Berlin tomorrow and it won't come back. No hope, no light, nothing besides hand-to-mouth survival in this fallen world."

He perked up, trying to regain the apperance of hope, "Well, that and the Nuyen; sorry for being a debbie downer - Let's enjoy ourselves! Did that mini-fridge have food?"

The hollowness of those words would be ignored by his team-mates; he was convinced of that. It didn't matter; he was determined to pull his own weight. Nevertheless, he started planning for if the 'Lost Heir' didn't actually want to be found, didn't actually want to succeed her father, or if her father was lying and had bad plans for his own flesh and blood. Should he bring it up with the rest? Would they agree to betray their contracts out of morality?

The answer to that was no, so Tenno would not tell them his suspicions. Besides, he was only one person, best not to rock the boat; he had learned his lesson in Saeder-Krupp's 'facilities'.

[i]He was only as useful as those in power saw him as.

Enough! Just eat; maybe the mini-fridge had something with actual sugar and cocoa - That ought to actually lift one's mood![/i]
