A lot. I'm not the greatest hero of the Heart of the IA for no reason, after all!

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Technically but that falls under the same trade secret I mentioned earlier!

@Heroic

I'm going to go ahead and assume you don't blow your arm off every time you punch someone, so neat ability.

@Techspert

I mean, yes. I'd be a glass cannon otherwise, and wouldn't make an ideal hero.

@Heroic

Is that like, your job?

@Techspert

Of course! Full time, and then some!

@Heroic

I mean, are you bad by the bad guy or something, or is it an hourly thing, or...?

@Techspert

Salary, based on performance.

@Heroic

Is there some ratio of money to badness of the dude?

@Techspert

No, otherwise there'd be too much favoritism in the system. Street-level heroes get pay closer to that of stellar-level heroes than you think. But it's enough to justify aiming higher.

@Heroic

Do you have assigned regions or something?

@Techspert

No, not at all. There's just certain... Levels, that you can't compete at without a certain level of strength, you know?

@Heroic

Sure. Do you have that many threats that require "heroes?"

@Techspert

Plenty, believe you me.

@Heroic

What about your society causes that?

[Heroic]

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What about your society causes that?

@Techspert

It's not people from within our society, it's people outside. Not always, of course, but mostly. We're a big nation with a lot of power, so we are also a big target.

@Heroic

I guess, but given relative number of people in the immediate vicinity, you'd think you guys would run out.

@Techspert

Run out of enemies?

[Techspert]

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Run out of enemies?

@Heroic

Yeah. It's not like they grow on trees.
...
At least, most of them don't.

@Techspert

It feels like it sometimes, for sure.

@Heroic

Your cluster isn't moving around much, so you'd think that once all the bad guys around you are gone, the others out there way far away won't know you exist.

@Techspert

It's not just here and neighboring, but rather everywhere the IA has influenced. More than just one cluster.
