Eric listened to Jimmy's side of things, then leaned back in his chair, breathing out and letting out a faintly audible sigh as he stared at the ceiling. He pondered over his original plan, which was to find and retrieve the Nebulux himself, while simultaneously initiating a confidential bargain with NEXUS. A bargain only he knew the specifics of.
