[MERC Office - Electra]

Electra shakes her head at Dipsnig.

"To be honest, I'm ambivalent about it. I certainly wouldn't mind having more of my own people around. I'm sure you both understand what that's like; but at the same time, I'm certainly not comfortable entwining them into the General's conflicts with the other factions in Southside, and Riverside as a whole, just by virtue of being their creator. That's actually kind of what led me here; if any of the other factions in Southside hire MERC, and I'm still on retainer with the General, that's going to create a major problem. I'd rather nip that in the bud, and make as clean of a break from the General as I can, so that MERC is free to operate wherever it needs to." She seems to ignore Dena's sign language shenanigans, instead focusing on Dipsnig. "I do understand if hiring me would cause more problems for you than solving them, though. This just seemed to be the clearest solution to me."
