"Are you serious?" Mindy asked, narrowing her eyes. "That doesn't make any sense. If you don't have either of those things, you tend to get killed. I've seen it happen to people in my world. Somebody is too slow, or they get pulled into a trap, and then they're done. Super powers must really come in handy."

She gave Motoko a hard look. "I'm going to be looking for something to do. It should be pretty obvious why I'm talking to you about it: I DO want a job. It's not like I'm going to be comfortable coasting here when I know there's a crazy alien invasion that goes around killing planets. You look like you might know what someone like me can do."
