Oh, I didn’t mean for me. Where I’m from, the employer gets it all.

@Nimda

Oh. All? That’s greedy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Looks up in thought and then nods*
That would make sense. If the government the anything like the ones back home, they’re way overpaying too.

@Nimda

It can be a generous job to work, we'll say. I technically get paid as one of the very few employees of the Big X and they make sure I'm taken care of, to say the least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Sort of like a defense contractor?

@Nimda

Yes, actually. That's a pretty perfect analogy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That like, charge people for rescue? I dunno, that seems kind of wrong.

@Nimda

No, it's complicated. And it's also a subsidized industry, which I guess makes it tied to the government anyway?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Creepy?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Oh.

@Galvanize

If you can make complicated stuff, then it could be used to create specialized gear in the field. That could be useful.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Sounds like it’d look pretty creepy.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Probably a government agency, right?

@Nimda

Government mostly, private ones do exist. Things get more privatized at the larger scales, but they do exist at this level too.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*tilts my head*
You okay?

@Galvanize

I'm fine. That's just pretty niche, I can't think of any blaring examples of where that'd be perfect.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I don’t take it you know any good ones off-hand?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

I agree! Can’t beat fresh seafood.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Snorts*
Hydraulic press.

@Nimda

Nnnot here. But it'd be easy to research. They're not secretive or anything.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I can not only consume metal, but I can create it, manipulate it, and augment it as well.

@Galvanize

Huh.
*Looks down at the table thinking*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Huh okay. I wonder what other jobs I could utilize my abilities with well…

@Galvanize

I'm not sure what you're capable of or where your limits are, other than probably being pretty durable and being able to fly. So I'm not sure.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Yeah, maybe something I could use to float if I stop running?

@Nimda

Yeah, there's a lot of things that can help with that and an organization you work for could provide it pretty easily.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Okay, now I’m starting to really like this idea. I could even get a tan!

@Nimda

There you go, we've figured it out! Could even find some people to work with who could even hook you up with some gadgetry to make it easier and better for everyone.
