30,000 eddies. That was...a lot of money. He can't just scoff and wave his hand at the offer. Echo had gone over budget for this one, without expecting an enny once the Mission Complete logo popped up on screen."Deal." For just his data. Echo pops a datashard into the port just below his right ear. Uploading everything he had on Kurtz, his lieutenants, Echo's own combat readouts, and mission performance during the battle.
Paz had already doxed him about as hard as he could've been doxed. Why not at least make money off of it? Besides...if you really wanted this data, you'd get it free of charge.
Echo is just as nervous as Kendo. But for once, he's not showing it. Those affirmative pings from scan of The Brain Jar relax the very slight tension in his shoulders and face.
Okay...NOW they'd done it.
Echo pops the chip out of his head and hands it over.
"I'll let the rest of the crew know." He's not sure who will participate. But money was money.

Was that a little groan he heard? He smiled as they sat across from one another. He waited to hear if she wanted to enjoy the shake with him or have her own. Zhaire did not mind speaking in front of the waitress."How've you been? I...I wanted to tell you I was sorry for the other day. It's just....been awhile."

"Do you know what you'd like to eat, miss?"Since your gentleman had ordered already
"Or just a second straw for the milkshake?"
A softer smile at that
Please

There was a tiny bead of sweat on his right temple. Millimeter by millimeter sliding down from real skin to godawful chrome cheek. Whatever you just offered Echo was lost on him. He's too tense. Too nervous.Waiting...expecting...if his teeth could move they'd chatter...
And then the transfer. Kendo nearly falls over. Before straightening himself up and holding out a datapad for you to place your handprint on.
"Excellent. A pleasure doing business with you. I just need your signature that the goods are verified. Pure formality, really. You or one of your..."
A gesture to the armored backpack wearer.
"...staff can do it."

IRIDIA's attention wavered between Kendo, Renner, and Echo Fenix.If he looked to her for her vibe, IRIDIA seemed apprehensive. It wasn't for a more relatable reason — her data was entangled across a basket of broken mirrors, to such an extent that she wouldn't even be able to cleanly sequester what is and isn't relevant to Renner's request in the first place, so she didn't count herself as among those who could collect the bonus.
…but rather than communicate that, she just played aloof as though ten grand didn't mean much to her.
…which it did, that was still a lot of money for merely turning over information, but information represented a direct existential threat to her in specific.
She looked to Kendo instead. "Hope you decide to keep the smile when you upgrade that faceplate."

I leaned into the kiss while my hands rested on your forearms.
I took a deep inhale of your scent and a soft sigh escaped, before I eased back.
Looking up for a moment, before the young girl motions us to a table.
I took at seat and asked the young lady for a tall glass of iced water, when she asks me after she gets your order.
steps into My dungeon to have a look around,
Deep Browns smiling brightly as I see that servus has done what I have asked of him ....Hmmm thinking ...... yes the cross and floggers will be worked
I don't know how to help her.
My daughter is much like you. Need someone who can relate.

They were taken to a table and he sat down. Looking at the waitress he nodded."A glass of water and a vanilla milkshake. Whipped cream, and a cherry."
Really just need to talk
I would so love to chat with you.
Parlor
"Of course, Sir, miss. Right this way."Her smile remains warm and friendly as she turns, leading them back to a table. She sets two menus on it
"Can I get you something to drink, Sir?"
