I will be willing to sell the locations of candy that I have no taken for myself, in exchange for favors that I can and will call in, later.

These transactions will remain confidential, and I will not inform anyone that I have divulged such a location to you. As for how I know these locations, I will not share. I am, however, a man of my word. It is, after all, a hallmark of any respectable business integrity.

[ A proverbial deal with the devil, as a certain Testament and mutant might realize. Dare you take this offer? ]

Very well.

Go to the library, and look up the book titled "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Look inside the dust jacket.

[And sometime later-]

Found it. Thank you.

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[oforder]

Good. Now I must ask a question of you.

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[technologic]

Okay, what is it?

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[oforder]

Are you able to confirm the existence of a mind inside of the Tower's communication terminals?

[There's a long pause until she sends a reply back.]

Can't. Seems like there's a block on my ability or something.

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[oforder]

I see. Thank you. That is all I needed to know.

Do you require another piece of candy?

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[technologic]

If I said yes, would that mean I would then owe you two favors?

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[oforder]

Of course. There is a reason why I am the CEO of Vector Industries.

[ Aside from basically cheating with the Compass, he's quite the businessman. ]

[Another long pause.]

Okay, one more.

On the art gallery floor, look for a painting depicting an interrogation with a stretching wrack. There is a candy in brown foil camouflaged with brown paint near the base of the torture device.

[Cue some time passing-]

Thanks, found it. So, when should I expect you to cash in on these favors?

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[oforder]

When I will require them.

[ That... should worry you, April. ]

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[technologic]

[Yep, it does.]

Good to know. Though I hope you don't mind me saying that I'm pretty wary about this.

[Text] [private, unhackable]

[oforder]

I expect nothing less.
