You would think I would, wouldn't you? [ He said, with a laugh. It's a touch bitter, borne from the fact that he would have never been allowed to be a politician, given the standing he held. That he was a big fish in a small aquarium was as powerful as Silco would have ever gotten. Even leading Zaun, he was not thirsty for more -- or had not been, before he arrived here.

But that was not here, and here he had an offer, to sponsor someone early, and perhaps gain advantage from such a thing. While Sebastian would assist with recreating Shimmer, there was no guarantee that he would stay, or even that...they would always be working together. Silco was no fool, and he was paranoid above all things. ]

You ask for sponsorship, and I can offer you that. Perhaps more, in terms of supplies, and... subjects if you need them.

[ A Smile. ] We have some who cannot pay their bills, who would subject themselves to experiments, if it means a new fix, after all.

[ Yeah, Silco has no qualms about human experimentation. ]
