Luminara Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 The last time I made an attempt to settle down in the Rogue Isles, some putz with sticks glued to his back tried to recruit me for a position as an aide to one of his aides, with no salary, no benefits and no opportunities for career advancement. The executive management of the organization was incompetent, the officers so busy fighting amongst themselves that inefficiency was rampant, the product research and development team was staffed with the worst kind of pseudo-scientists, and the company was moribund. I'll stick to freelancing in Paragon City. The pay isn't great, but the people are nicer and the career path is upwardly mobile. 5 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

EyeLuvBooks Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 The best thing about The Isles, for me, is that Recluse is an honest Evil Overlord (tm). He won't lie, cheat, steal, or try to BS anyone into anything. 'I'm not evil...I simply feel that I'm the best qualified ruler on Earth so why shouldn't I take the job?' He even institutes his hiring/training program KNOWING that it might enable someone to overthrow him! And if they can, well then they're more fit to rule than he is...right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appropriate application of forensic science, iinterviews with various people and other investigatory approaches obviates the need for infiltration in most cases. When infiltration is required, it should be performed by someone... more suited to the task. Someone other than me. Besides, Arachnos bases are constructed from sheet metal and chicken wire, so it's not like they can hide much from direct observation. 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

As a contractor on at least one Arachnos building project, I can safely say that a LOT of concrete goes into those designs! Granted, I'm glad that I get done with MY work before the 'ramp and bridge' guys get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
