What's a guy got to do, to be able to play for your team?
[He's not one for dancing around the point, and it's something he'd been mulling over ever since Seth told him Dagger was running around recruiting others. Back during the avalanche. On the heels of another botched mission for Green, he's fairly certain taking on a different colour scheme would serve him better]

I don't. Green's got a mission statement for protecting the whole, at their own cost. I don't care about protecting anyone.
[He can protect a mission partner, because it's a shared goal, if that's what he's tasked with- but that's as far as that goes. He has enough respect to contact Armada as a heads up, if Dagger is interested, and that's as far it goes]

My file's accurate if you've read that. We're a predatory species, sneaking is an instinct, not a skill set.

I can hear where people are located, I can tell when they're lying. It says mind control, but it's a little more fun than that.
FROM: salvatore.stefan@cdc.org
I can tell them what to think, what to feel. I can make them tell me anything, I can make them forget ever having done it. I can make them remember something else, indefinitely.

I think that would suit infiltration fine. Killing, sometimes very slowly, on command is what I was doing before I was brought here. Your methods don't bother me.
[And he's withstood torture for ten consecutive years, before cracking. Receiving it won't matter to him. It'll just be another reminder to try harder, because he cannot afford to have his contract nullified]

No. The one who used to be in my rover- Alpha, used to leave his shit everywhere. That was kind of annoying.
[Does that count? Mostly he's giving a throw away answer, because he doesn't interact with many people whatsoever, red and green included. And he's not name dropping that Seth told him about this]
FROM: salvatore.stefan@cdc.org
So I guess I can't promise there won't be. They'd have to work pretty hard for that.
[Because he's also not very interested in telling Dagger whatever he thinks he wants to hear. But a dimmer switch on his emotions only makes it difficult, not impossible]
In that case, house rules: No infighting unless I approve it. Don't let me catch you stealing shit from the team. Show up when I tell you to. If I give you a kill order, you do it regardless of who it is, or I dock your name on the list.
And pass your audition, but that goes without saying.
[There's only two people currently here that he would be opposed to killing, but neither of them seem like they'd get on Dagger's radar. If they do, he'll cross that when he gets there]
[He doesn't know enough about Dagger's abilities to consider how easy that might be for him. He doesn't particularly want to find out- survival is his priority, but if he earned it, he can't be fussed about it]

Depends. Qualifications? If you have lingering Green loyalties then get out and don't waste my time.

That's good stuff, I like that. For all of my preceding reputation as an asshole, though, I'm not gonna invite a mongoose into my snakepit.
Any problems with anyone on my team?

That should be easy to follow.

FROM: salvatore.stefan@cdc.org
That's all it would take?
no subject
I'm not a complicated guy. Just don't fail me or I'll take everything back and try to kill you. Fair warning and all that.
no subject
Not even a three strike system? Harsh.
FROM: salvatore.stefan@cdc.org
But that would be interesting.

Do I look like a statue of merciful salvation to you? Don't answer that with a yes because I don't want to know.
[ He just wants a team who listens and does as told, why is this always impossible?

FROM: salvatore.stefan@cdc.org
Then the answer is 'no'.
[It was going to be anyway, but now he's going to make it sound like it wasn't, because that's funnier.
It's impossible, because sometimes you try so hard, and you can get so far- but in the end it doesn't even matter :[]

Gross.
Don't disappoint with your audition, all right? Second-hand embarrassment is a terrible feeling.
[ Truly wise words. ]
