Book 2: The Teraport Wars — The Teraport Wars

Transcript

Breya: The want-ad you run needs to be tailored to the resources they've got. The compensation range should be generous, but not so outlandish as to arouse suspicion.Try to hint at adventure without making it sound too risky. Add a bit of mysterious flavor to it, for good measure.

Breya: Pretend you're packing for a field op, and you have to carry it all on your back--only it's words instead of materiel.
Jaksmouth: Okaaay... I suppose I should begin by requisitioning a thesaurus and two bottles of aspirin.
