Greetings Saf!

Hey, now that Bert has released his Truly Twisted Tale (did I get the 
title right?), you might consider switching that contract from DarkWind 
to Bert.  I'll pay as much as you want ... but bring me his hardsuit, I'd 
love to have one for myself ... :>

Hi John!

You'll pay as much as I want, hmm?  

*Saf pulls out a calculator and starts punching in numbers*

Let's see... a trip to Japan costs...add the hotel bill.... food...money
for manga and anime....hmmm.... a new dart gun... special items (I'd love
to have some of Kodachi's paralyzing powder)... overall expenses for the
hunt... cost for having to put up with his puns.... 

*Saf punches in all the numbers and presses the [=] button...* 

-BLINK-

Hmm...my calculator broke.  *Saf looks at John*  Are you _sure_ you can 
pay anything I want?

Saf
