It's not exactly dissimilar. I've done mercenary work before. [ casually. ] But that was just my own work. Fixer's the title a guy I know gave the group. Fixing problems in New Sieg, that sort of thing.
They're very expensive to use where I come from. I barely had money to support myself of basic needs. I think... rifles especially, were most expensive, but it was more about the bullets.

An extension of you that you shoot... I think I understand that sort of feeling.
[ thinks about why the city is the way it is for a very long time and yet somehow guns are not the biggest issue. ]
… I sort of inherited one. Not sure I would’ve found a way to get one without that.
[ which, honestly, would’ve been awkward. ] It’s not exactly easy to get one where I’m from too — they put laws in place to stop excess violence, not that it really works.
They have permits where I'm from. You're supposed to have a full background check and everything, to stop people with violent crime on their record getting one. But it's not impossible to slip the net and get one without any of that.
[ they tried, they failed. ]
Might be more helpful to them if we can. There's nothing saying these deliveries aren't going to be in dangerous places.

That's not really something that needs an apology. Fixers must be a big thing where you're from if that was the immediate association you made.
no subject
I wanted to know if you were from the same place.
[ Again, she should have looked at the "homeworld" section first. What a blunder. ]
Fixers are mostly akin to mercenaries... we do all sorts of work for money.

Is that where the sniping comes from? What is it like to use a gun?
[ we dont talk about the clerk guns ]
no subject
[ hmmm. ]
Not really sure how to describe it. You just kinda know from using one how it feels, and you train yourself to use it well. Like an extension of you.

[ Also similarly in that like... it never helped. It's still rampant with violence, but who cares, since it's the Backstreets, right. ]
I'm a little surprised how many of us are capable of defending ourselves. There's even a priest...

[ Yuri sounds so confident about this. Looks at lobcorp ]

I guess we'll find out. Recon could be anything.
