Last few days were so much fun.

Black Mesa is back in business. For those who don’t know what Black Mesa is, it's a House Call Technician business, and we fix computers, broadcasting and wireless systems, business equipment and security systems. If anyone is interested or just wants a job, call me maybe.


[ PRIVATE TO: BLACK MESA EMPLOYEES ]
We are going put up cameras all over the city. More, at least. Ones that will actually capture when few people are being kidnapped on the streets after being chloroformed.

The Detective Agency will supervise this since it’s for them.


[ PRIVATE TO: DUO ]
I have a proposal. Not marriage, but close.


[ PRIVATE TO: NEAR and MELLO ]
Thanks for breaking into my place, setting off the alarm and starting the program to erase everything I had in my three computers. That was really awesome and completely necessary.

Near, we are also ready to start setting up the cameras. Whenever you are ready.


[ PRIVATE TO: SOLLUX ]
Hey, let’s go on a mission tomorrow or the day after?

I'd like just the basic cameras. Is it an extra charge to connect them to the Death Communicators- [ She feels really odd saying that. ] -or is that included in the basic price?

[ voice | Private ]

[ turning this private, because business ]

It's extra, but it's 10$. [ the little extras are what makes the prices rises, to be honest. Because they are "little", people just ask for more and more add-ons. ]

How many cameras do you have in mind?

[ voice | Private ]

[helpstroubled]

[ Oh thanks, she's still trying to get the hang of that. ]

That works.

Just one. About how much would that be? [ Fingers crossed that it isn't that expensive. ]

The cameras I sell are cameras DOME type, with infra red illumination and vandal-proof. You know, those little globes glued to the ceilings.

If you want a varifocal lens, the ones that change position, view angle from 20 degrees to 60 degrees are around 50$, and those with 80 to 20 are 90$.

If you want a fixed focal lens with a view angle of 60º, that's 30$, and view angle of 80º, that's 70$.

[ it is kind of expensive ]

[ voice | Private ]

[helpstroubled]

[ Cheap enough for her though! ]

I'll take the fixed focal lens, sixty degrees. [ That should be perfect for what she has in mind. ]

[ voice | Private ]

Alright.

I can set them up in like - three days, since I might have a mission soon. Would that be alright?

[ voice | Private ]

[helpstroubled]

[ A pregnant pause. ]

Uh. I'd have liked them sooner than that, but I guess if that's the best you can do, I can deal with it.

[ Really, she's just glad a service like this is available here. ]

[ voice | Private ]

[3rdbest]

I can send someone else over. I just don't know how willing anyone is to work right now, since a lot just happened.

[ voice | Private ]

[helpstroubled]

That makes sense.

Three days should be all right. I'm just antsy, I guess.

[ Understandably so, she's sure. ]

[ voice | Private ]

[3rdbest]

Alright. Tell me your address and name, I'll see you in three days.

[ voice | Private ]

[helpstroubled]

Oh, right! [ Duh. ] I'm Audrey Parker, and I'm at Death City Heights, building six. 2B. My partner Dwight might be home, just so there aren't any surprises.

[ voice | Private ]

[3rdbest]

Alright. I'm Matt, by the way. I will see you then.
