"I understand that you don't have many resources to spare and you're in some very deep shit, but if you want our help to be as effective as can be I urge you to let my new partner here power up her laboratory. There can be things here we can use to help the investigation." Kota gave November what she hoped was a reassuring grin.

She walked up to one of the cabinets and dragged her hand across it, lifting up a layer of dust. She pretended to inspect it closely.

"What I'm asking might seem like a lot, but can you really put a price on solving this case with as few casualties, and headaches, as possible? You can try but it'll be tough." She says as she makes her way over to a different cabinet, doing the same thing as the first one. "She," Kota points to Secunda, "was able to keep this place somewhat in shape even when it was powered down. Seems like a shame to let everything here go to waste no?"

Kota walked back to Secunda and stood next to her and clapped her hands together, her grin wider.

"I will personally see to it that no power and resources go to waste. And anything you do give us, I'll pay you back the best I can. You have my word, Marshal November, from one soldier to another." From the front she moved her hands behind her back and straightened up, putting on a serious face to go with her promise.
