[Awkward turtle is awkward as the video feed came up. Raiden wasn't used to anything he did being broadcast actually turning out to be a positive thing. He was also fidgeting, passing something that looked awfully like a slightly glowy blue hockey puck from hand to hand.]

Uh. Hi.

I could use a favor from, uh, somebody sciencey I guess. Flying roomba over there couldn't help me. I don't mind a trade, but none of that owe-you-one-later BS, thanks.

[He scratched the back of his head a little, making his hair stick up in all directions.]

If that's not your thing... is there anything to actually do around this place?

Just a supply problem. Not a robot, so I can't use energon, but I'm not kitted out for normal food right now, either.

Miasma kinda pulled me in while I was in the middle of wrapping up a mission.

[Well it was one way of putting it.]

Supply---oh. Fuel. I see.

That's unfortunate.

You're....?

[ It sounds like she's guessing, but she's really trying to find a proper word. ]

...a sort of, er, mercenary?

[ Assassin sounded too strong, after all. She is a figurehead. ]

Not really "sort of" one. Nobody likes to use the word, but that's what I do.

[He grinned just a little.]

Of course, I do freelance stuff on the side. If you're hiring.
