One ( 1 ) to five ( 5 ) hired professionals willing to traverse the wilds of Olympia to gather samples of native flora and fauna. Ideal candidates will have trained in one or more fields of combat; specifics cannot be given due to the unknown and highly unpredictable nature of the Olympia wilderness.
I will be personally leading a highly-trained team of my own to ensure your safety.
PAYMENT
Any one ( 1 ) of the following:
- An amount of currency to be agreed upon before departure. - A cut of any profits made from the samples. - A favor from our incredibly talented, remarkably intelligent, and unbelievably good-looking engineer. - My personal gratitude. (The most valuable option tbh.)
Contact if interested.

Assuming everybody I hire here dies horribly, I still need some people around to help me get back to civilization.
So I guess it's kind of like my protection detail, but I just kinda loan 'em out to anybody else who happens to come with. My guys are less... eh, I dunno. Expendable. That's not even heartlessness, that's just straight-up fact.
OK. [Kanade doesn't necessarily agree with his words, but she'll acknowledge the sentiment.]
I still think you're making things overly complicated for yourself when you could wait for the hired party to come back with the samples, instead of accompanying them. And you clearly have less attachment to them.
That's definitely an option, but any materials gathered would be lost if the whole group, say, totally wiped. Then I would've paid a bunch of them for nothing! If I go with them, I get to oversee operations on top of offering extra security and ensuring I don't blow my entire startup load on some chumps who can't stick it out there in the wild.
If you hire a bunch of losers who can't take care of themselves, you have to wipe up after them. On the other hand, if they do a good job, you're confident you'd be able to take them on, were they to turn on you.

So let me get this straight
