Day 20, Spinister's room, open to team evil, but you'd probably need a reason to stop by.
Spinister has put together two datasticks. One contains some pretty bland, boring information. One contains slightly less bland, boring information that was slightly harder to acquire. He's laid out on his berth, a bunch of empty cubes next to him and a tube stick into his side so that his fuel system can be flushed regularly. The datasticks are held in his hand, between his fingers.
His room door is open.

Swindle enters the room, knocking on the door-frame as he does. He carries a briefcase in one hand. "I've got the payment here, Spinister," he says, laying the briefcase on a bedside table and opening it, revealing 250 shanix in various denominations. "I hate to see you like this. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know." Swindle doesn't know if Spinister's susceptible to this sort of thing, but sucking up to one of the people who'll hunt the merchant down if he gets in trouble couldn't hurt.

Ah, there's the money right there, which means that Swindle gets datastick number two. Flipping away datastick number one, he holds out number two to Swindle. There's a slight tremor to his hand; he can't keep it still.
Hairsplitter, who is perched on a shelf done up somewhat like a strange doll house, actually does the answering, sincerely but distantly, "Your well wishes are appreciated, Swindle. Needlenose is taking quite good care of him, however. I hope the data is to your satisfaction. It will be a while before Spinister is up to more physical prying."
They have their own reasons to wish to learn more of Primatech.

Swindle takes the datastick and plugs it into his arm, optics flickering as he downloads the data. "Hm. Interesting. Glad I'm not going into this blind."
The merchant turns to address Hairsplitter. "Thanks again. When your boss is up and about again, if he finds anything else, let me know. I'll keep paying for it."

Getting paid to go look into something Spinister want to look into anyway? Score!
Spinister raises one finger and then reaches down for a cube. He sips at it (without a mouth, no less) and looks to Hairsplitter, nodding once.
Hairsplitter spreads his hands and explains, "It didn't mean anything to us then, but looking back, the Primatech logo was on some of the crates in the old meat packing plant where Spinister went hunting a serial killer. Some peculiar things going on there. Do be careful, Swindle."
He jumps down to go inspect the money.

"The Primatech logo is on a lot of things around here," Swindle responds dryly. "And I'm always careful!" Except when he isn't, which is relatively often.
The jeep-former winks and heads out the door. OOC: Wrap?
