"Obviously." Helen concedes. She knows pretty well that this isn't the way this sort of stuff works. "That's why I wanted a closer look before I consider signing anything. See whats all in the bag, if you will."
Jack asks the hard questions, but in cases like this, that's a pretty good thing. Not that she hasn't done so herself, but the question is, do those answers hold ? Helen goes through the people she has put below ground over the years. Discounting the lost causes, the number's small, she's always prided herself on that, but it's there. She's messed up her fair share of folks and fangers, sure, but almost all of them were still walking about a year later. She had almost convinced herself that there's some things that are necessary and have to be done regardless of personal opinion, just like the old times. As Jack said, she doesn't get to mix and match. But now ? She isn't so sure anymore. Especially thinking back to the Kowalsic mess. But she's not going to address it. is there a lesson it ? Yeah, but not the kind of message she wants to discuss.
"Good question. When I came here, I thought I was." She freely admits after a pause. "One hand, it's pretty much a necessary evil needed for our society to work, really, and everyone knows the rules and what happens when you're caught breaking them. On the other hand, killing folks has never really sat well with me. Same goes for fangers." She's not going to chuck the Good Book at Jack, or start spreading out some stories of her life. Hypocritical ? Yeah, she's well aware of that, as O'Brien could attest to. If he were aware that question is a thing, that is. "Have you ever been that in that sort of job yourself ?" Not the most elegant continuation, but the thought sort of comes naturally. Not that she thinks it's unlikely, with fangers, looks can be deceiving, but still... She's heard about some fangers who were also booksy types with weird fields of studies, some of which were runored to have killed people for their studies or just to know what that feels like.
"Looks like some things will never change." She chuckles as Jack details the reports. Too bad they don't hand out medals for red tape wars ! "Sitrep, eval, debrief. I think I get what you mean." It's been a long time since her last activities in that area. Not long enough, in her opinion. Ewrgh, does anyone seriously like that shit ?
