[It takes a short while for Venom to adjust his device as he turns on the feed. He feels the device itself is cumbersome and wonders why they can't just switch over to magic coms like normal people. A few moments of silence (and Venom's hair eye staring into the camera) later, he begins:]
I suppose I should start with a good afternoon to all of you.
The reason why I've decided to do this is because of the intentions of my former organization. [And the previous talks about murder and murder-related things.] We were dealt a heavy blow by an antagonistic force, someone who felt we were going to interfere with their plans. As the leader, I came to a difficult decision. I felt if we were to survive, we needed to operate in the light of day, to come out of the shadows for good.
What were we, you might ask?
We were assassins.
It's not something I was ever proud of doing, nor do I plan on going back to that profession. My unhappiness was fueled by it, even though I voluntarily took the leadership role. I feel that if I am to continue living in the light, I wish to be open and honest about my past.
Thank you for listening.
[The feed shuts off as Venom hopes he did the right thing.]

[That reminds him, a certain model owes him money and a particular service.]

[he doesn't mean this disparagingly... but it's hard to bring his tone across, through this device. He knows well enough what it is to try to make himself fit that life - how he must have broken pieces off himself, doing so.
Something gives him pause, though]
They let you keep the money?
[...it was never like that in his experience. He was able to keep gifts - received a great many of them - but the House kept all of the money, and Xanthe could - and did, once - even take possession of the gifts, if he so wished.

Yes. Well, they do let me keep whatever tips I generate.
