Hey. Got a question for all of the tech freaks out there. I know there's plenty of you around.

[It isn't the most formal way to start a message, never mind a request - but even so, there's a briskness to his voice that sounds almost business-like.]

Let's say I want to keep an eye on the names that show up on this thing [a couple of relatively loud taps] along with the new people. Is there a way I can set it up so it... [He hesitates for a fraction of a second, but carries on as if he hadn't.] lets me know somehow when a specific name gets added to it? Or any name, that works too. Just out of interest.

Details would help, but a straight yes or no's better than nothing. I'm not exactly expecting any hand-holding here.

[There is one thing to be said, he's not saying his reasons openly.]

Let me get something straight with you now. You have no idea what the United Earth is capable of.

What my intentions are have nothing to do with you. You want me to name a price? I have none. You must understand how important it is to gather as much information as possible while you can. That's my currency.

That's weird, I don't remember suggesting any different. Or that I had a problem with you doing what you want. Just making sure we're clear before you turn around and claim I owe you something for this after all.
