[Emma doesn't advertise the fact, but she's pretty good with electronics. Which means she knows to dial back the resolution and select a highly redundant compression algorithm when she decides to make a video post over the currently-unreliable network.
So there's Emma, grainy and with some fuzzing around the edges, as unimpressed as ever, hair pulled up into a messy knot that somehow seems like she meant it to look like that.]
There are ground troops looking for the catacombs.
[How does she know that?Telepathy. Clever deduction. ]
Unfortunately, the surface is...inhospitable. If you don't need to breathe, or can otherwise shrug off a gas attack, I want to take a group up and see what we can do about thinning that herd, and perhaps getting a few answers.
[If you don't already know that Emma can turn into diamond, she looks ludicrously unqualified for what she's proposing, but her bearing shows no uncertainty at all.]
...Stark, that means you.

"Bargain?" I'm not clear where you came by the impression this is a negotiation.
[video]
When you didn't give me an outright no.

[She sighs and drops the arch tone.]
You haven't done anything to prove I can trust you, or that you think this is more than a game. Why should I endanger the others--or you--by taking you along?
[video]
Sorry, reflex.
I managed to get a hold of one of their guns. I can keep them from ganging up on you guys at least.
I've got rebreathers, but we were passin' them around during evacuation. I dunno how you guys feel about using that kinda thing second hand.

[She waves a hand dismissively.]
If, if I bring you along, you need to follow instructions.
[Emma knows your type, kid.]
[video]
I can do that.

I'm not sanguine about bringing children into combat.
[It's just that she's getting the vibe he'll go off alone if she doesn't take him.]
