Few announcements and a question.

First, I’m Matt and I have a business called Black Mesa. It's a House Call Technician business, and we fix computers, broadcasting and wireless systems, business equipment and security system. If anyone is interested or just wants a job, call me maybe.

Second, I’m doing missions, have a nice record, and kind of want to keep going. So I’m currently looking for a Meister who would be cool with going on missions. I’m a Weapon, a Portal gun; I shoot regular bullets and also create Portals.

Third, imagine you have raw steaks. How hard it is to cook them? And how do cook them exactly?


[ PRIVATE TO: DUO ]
Duo. I hope you didn’t forget our date tonight.


[ PRIVATE TO: NEAR ]
A word, please.

co0k it with fire, usually.

Duh.

But it needs salt and spices or whatever they add to make it taste less like blood, and more like something edible.

s0dium chloride?

[cardfortress]

Yes?

[3rdbest]

The areas that were damaged by the floating island - are the cameras still working there, or that circuit went down?

[voice | private]

[cardfortress]

Some of those areas weren't covered by the surveillance system, [And boy does he sound not happy about it] but from the ones that were, a few were damaged, yes.

Are you offering your services?

This is me calling you re: job offer
Why Black Mesa, though?

Excellent. You can check about what exactly we do in our pamphlet. We are cool enough to have a pamphlet, yes.

Anyway, based on that, let me know if your skills fit and what exactly can you do.

A quick note about BM, is that the work is by housecall and I pay according to the hours you make. This means if in a week, we don't get clients, you won't be getting money during that week.
Kinda sucks, but so do a lot of things.


As for the name, does "Portal" and "Half Life" ring a bell?

[ironicusername]

I can do the work. I'm sort of over-qualified.

Kinda. Vintage video games aren't my thing, though.

A portal gun? Black Mesa? We have a Valve ota on our hands wwwwww

In all seriousness, I'd volunteer for the position since pinkhair is completely off the radar, but I don't have experience with guns (￣ω￣;)

[3rdbest]

At least someone knows what it is. I don't have to describe the whole thing to you.

Anyway, text emotes aside, if you want to give a try at resonance, I'm cool with it.

[zealous_steiner]

I'd be willing to meet with you and give resonance a good try if you're free at any point. I'd ordinarily be interested in working with you, but my lab always takes precedence.

In the meantime, you might enjoy this video. A gift from me, if you will. wwwww

You do know Gemini's a Meister, right?

[Yep, he's on your case too. Deal with it, Matt.]

And you apply heat to the steaks until they're not raw anymore, alleged genius.

[voice | private]

[3rdbest]

[ ignoring that first part ]

No shit, seriously? [ a small groan ]

But I'm pretty sure I have to add something. Salt. Or pepper. Or whatever.

[voice | private]

[want_the_world]

If you want salt and pepper, add them.

[Mello actually has no idea how to do this either.]

Ignoring this isn't going to make it go away.

[braidedwonder]

Course I didn't. Should I bring romantic candles and maybe a steak or two to start things off?

[3rdbest]

Man, you sure know how to awe a guy.

But after my adventures and attempts to cook steak, I will have to pass. Just a ride in the moonlight will do the trick.

While not a job, if you would like to test any of your security against me, I would be happy to help.

Text; Private

[3rdbest]

I'd like that. To see if the firewalls can hold it.

But we might have a job. And we will need you.

[dialogical]

Salt and pepper thoroughly, sear both sides on a high heat, then put in an oven until it reaches desired doneness.
You can get more fancy if you want, but generally speaking steaks were regarded as best when left simple, and the art is in a good sear and achieving the correct internal temperature.

[3rdbest]

I have no idea how much salt and pepper I should put in it, though.

In my attempt, it was too salty and too damn hard. Seriously, it felt like rubber.

[entreats]

Usually you need to take them out of the pan if they start to turn black and fall apart.

[ ange, you are the last person allowed to make cooking jokes.. ]

[3rdbest]

Figured that part, at least.

[private/text]

[consider8]

If you figure out what to do with the steaks, do let me know. :::;)

Kinda gave up, actually. It was a pain in the ass.

Sup, Aranea?
