[ With that he'll take out one of the handhelds and offer it to Monet. Seeing is usually better than lip service in cases like this. ]

That's about ninety-seven percent of the history of imPorts in this place, including stuff from the old network. Criminal files, arrests, warrents, and newscasts. All cross-referenced.

[ She keeps herself from looking too eager, instead taking it calmly, looking it over with cool politeness. ]

This does seem like it would come in use. You must have been here a long time.

[batmantled]

Not as long as a few of my associates, but I guess it adds up. [ He's studying that expression a little more discerningly. ]

You can hold on to the handheld if you think it'll help. No need to call unless you have questions.

[insufferablysmug]

It would. [ She isn't that thrilled at the prospect. But her face is serene as she examines the handheld. Rictor will love to see this. ]

I imagine it will help. Good to know you're bringing assets onto the team.

[batmantled]

That's the plan, yeah. [ It's honest, at least. Still, a tough nut to crack is a tough nut to crack. ]

So what's the interest in bringing in new blood? You know a few of these guys from home, right?

[insufferablysmug]

Good.

[ She sets the handheld down and looks up at him. ] One of them, yes. To bring the team to full strength, the only option we have is to recruit outside our numbers. Lachesis hasn't seen fit to bring many of us here.

[batmantled]

Isn't that always the way. [ Nightwing would have casually grabbed a seat on the edge of the desk, but Batman stands his ground and meets her gaze instead. ]

I hope I can offer something to make up for what's lacking.
