[ The voice that snaps over the bracelet is sharp but bored. ]

Required: a number of test subjects for this ridiculous, useless power that I've been assigned. Willing subjects preferable, though this is not set in stone.

Compensation will be provided.

This seems so completely trustworthy and unsuspicious. I'm astounded.

[On one hand, he counts himself as curious, if only because he'd like to know what power is called "useless" -- he thinks likewise of his, but Archer has his own reasons.

None of this, of course, is betrayed in that smug expression of his.]

I do my best to make a good impression.

[ His tone is flat, however, absolutely bland. ]

Oh, I can tell. So what completely worthwhile compensation will you be providing?

[ Bluntly: ]

I have no idea yet.

You're going to be getting a lot of takers, aren't you?

More than I had expected, at least.

[ But he doesn't seem displeased. ]

[...oh you're kidding me]

Well, I'll say I'm honestly surprised.

I'm not. People are always drawn in by mystery.

I'll consider myself far too cynical and sensible to understand.

Is that it? It seemed to work with you, too.

[ Almost petulantly. ]

To an extent. I would not equate momentary curiosity with careless volunteers.

It has to start somewhere.

You'll be the first to know if I slide any further down that slippery slope.
