“What’s on the other pages?” I asked.
“Sixteen is accounting. Bank statements, confirmation of money exchanged, a list of what was bought. Seven figures base price, more for this Nemesis program, still more for some powers.
Nemesis program… hm. Not sure what to make of that. It’s probably not literal – I doubt Cauldron sells custom-tailored enemies for their new parahumans.
Don’t have all the pages I’d need to get it, but I’m getting the sense the more unique powers and the stronger ones cost way more.”
That makes sense. It’d make sense for those to be harder to make, but even if that isn’t the case, hiking up the prices for the good stuff is sound business.
‘The sense’, she’d said. Her power filling in the blanks.
Yeah, I got that.
“Pages eighteen and nineteen refer back to something called the ‘Nemesis program’, potentially revoking it, they’re talking about debts, services required by this ‘Cauldron’ using the clients’ powers.
So then… the Nemesis program means they pay for their powers by way of serving Cauldron with their powers?
There’s a bunch of specifics on how the time, effort and risk of said services would factor in with one another.”
Makes sense. Gotta quantify that stuff if the Nemesis program is what I just described.
