CW: welcome to haven (graphic gore oops)

[ Cecil is used to being asked about contracts, about employment. He is used to it from people who are interested, who see the corporation as a means towards personal ends. He is used to offering these people connections, guiding them to sign their own contracts, knowing it will only help his reputation with the corporation, knowing it will only end in tears for those selfish enough to join. Knowing he is better off for knowing who is signing contracts in that pink room.

He is not used to being asked for contracts by friends of Korra's. So, he doesn't think anything of these kind of questions other than idle information gathering by a curious person. He would be saying different things, if this were someone like Warren, or Break. He would be highlighting the appealing side of things, and not the painfully obvious flaws. ]


I do, yes! When contracted employees are killed, we're revived in one day instead of five. That is convenient, because employees are killed a lot.

The corporation knows what you want. They know everything about you. They know who you loved and who you hated in your life before Haven, in your home universe and time. They know what your heart desires most. They know what you would like to have for a reward.

After my first mission was completed, after I cracked open the skull of a young girl and took the chip she kept hidden in the delicate folds of her brain (and after doing something afterwards that I am not allowed to talk about), I was rewarded with the ability to speak through the radio. Which you heard yesterday. They knew it was important to me, knew without asking that it was something I wanted.

They gave me a lab coat also, one time, for manipulating and dragging the prone but living bodies of innocents to the good and terrible doctor to perform unspeakable scientific acts on. But that reward was more of a joke kind of thing.

They reward the contracted employees who do what they are told. The greater the cooperation, the greater the reward.
