"This is our chance. Should we just take Sonny Burch out?"
"Better wait. He really does have a lot of channels. Without him, we wouldn't be able to handle this high-tech stuff at all. If Dr. Pym deceived us, we wouldn't even know. How many Reincarnators have been tricked by these so-called doctors..."
"Exactly. He's just an ordinary mortal anyway. We can take him out anytime and reap the rewards."
"We've been pretty lucky. Under the Avengers' pressure, many major corps have disappeared. They're either still lying low or have been wiped out, which is why we can seize this opportunity."

Several Reincarnators under Sonny Burch gathered together and debated fiercely.
With their squad's temporary channel, they had no concern whatsoever about their scheme being discovered.
They were merely members of a small corps, ranked beyond fortieth place.
Their corps also had Intruders, but they were all slackers who preferred taking it easy. Rather than use their status as Intruders to join a major corps, they worried that clashes between corps would get them killed.
Or they had simply left major corps after becoming Intruders because they could not agree on the terms.
So even if the benefits were poorer, the intelligence scarcer, and building their own group difficult, these slackers had still banded together.
Small corps had their own advantages, and they were easier to manage.
This time, one of the corps' few big shots was leading the team: two Elite Reincarnator executives and three Veteran Reincarnators.
They did not recruit anyone below the Veteran Reincarnator level, nor did they train their own people. Small corps needed recruits who could be put to work immediately. They simply did not have the energy to raise newcomers. Even if they trained them well, they would only be contributing talent to
