Good afternoon.

[ Coolly professional, sitting at a desk inside what seems to be an office of some kind. ]

There are some things the police can't help with. Some things humans aren't equipped to deal with.

Among the Import population, such situations seem to be the norm rather than the exception. As such, Mr. Richter and I have opened up an investigation agency with backing from City Hall. X-Factor investigates the unusual. The can't-be-real. As a private investigation agency, we can also look into the things that have not progressed far enough to justify calling the police in yet. Given our abilities, we are well equipped to handle any and all situations involving criminal Imports.

We are also currently open to job applications from those with a background in investigative work or abilities that could prove useful. With only two of our team available here, we have a few open slots.

Contact either Julio Richter or myself over the network if you're interested. Or if, at any point in time, you think we could help you.

[ she reaches forward and turns it off. ]

[ ooc: see here! the City now has a baby X-Factor. ]

Well done, fearless leader.

[insufferablysmug]

Fearless leader. [ thoughtfully. and then, with a shrug. ]

You're screening the applicants.

[ delegating responsibility is what leaders do, right? ]

[Investigations? That sounds right up his alley. Are his money problems solved?]

What kind of abilities are you looking for?

permavideo;

[insufferablysmug]

There is no catch-all answer. What can you do?

[futureleader]

Gross. Who wants to work for the City Hall agents?

Did you want something?

[cloud9]

[ tentative peering: ]

Er-- so. You're like, detectives?

permavideo

[insufferablysmug]

That is a large part of what we do, yes.

[acrossyourpath]

But what would qualify as "unusual" around here?

permavideo

[insufferablysmug]

[ a slightly pleased look. ]

The same things that would qualify as unusual back home, presumably.

permatext

[seeress]

Hmm.

permavideo

[insufferablysmug]

How enlightening.

permavid.

[piranhas]

So... above human, huh?

permavid.

[insufferablysmug]

We deal with the things humans generally can't, yes.

[motherfucked]

Do you pay?

permavideo;

[insufferablysmug]

Yes. It's a reasonable salary.

[snidepiper]

I'm surprised this wasn't a thing before, actually.

What kind of backing from City Hall?

permavideo;

[insufferablysmug]

Some small funding, a little office space to start with and official status.

You don't happen to be looking for a job?

[voice; encrypted]

[batmantled]

So City Hall's a hundred percent cognizant of the cases you take on?

permavideo; encrypted

[insufferablysmug]

[ oh. encryptions! intriguing. ]

They will be kept informed of our work, particularly as relates to the Import population.
