Here is my version how Ves can reply back.
“You wound me Master Willix... A bribe is never my intention, and the MTA have my utmost respect and confidence for having unquestionable integrity in all sector of human space. Above all, a bribe suggest that I offer something of materialistic value, which I am not offering at all.”
“Instead, I am offering knowledge... In return for service rendered, I require a sponsorship... Yes a sponsorship, I request for my membership level with the MTA virtual market to be increased as high as you can possibly give me. As well as publically bless my wedding with Gloriana.”
😂😂😂not at all Master Willix, I'm sure that MTA will accommodate for valuable Intel on my last conflict and possible enlightenment, as a student of my like's to call it my superpower possible abilities, which as we discussed has grown rather wide after the conflict, the need to verify some areas that are unclear in my mind on how to use this to not only advance my understanding but could advance humanity along the way. as you see this is a win win for both MTA and humanity and all you have to do is help me build the expert mechs as any future expert and ace mechs, see the advantages I'm offering is quite large for cost of something so small😂😂😂
Trying to pay someone off always worsens a situation when they don't take the bribe....Willix will refuse. She and the other MTA officials listening in will use this to force Ves to spill his secrets for free, under threat of punishing him for the attempted bribe.
