Oh, you mean Danforth Strout! Yeah, he gets around. Paid entirely on sales commission so he has to hustle.

I saw no mentions of a scarab in that lovely comment myself; he does offer you a "hint" on investment opportunities though. Or perhaps he gives several speeches, depending on the situation? I wonder if he has something nice to say after you have conquered Rooted Hold.

I think Syntax was talking about the cockroach crawling in the foreground.

Sorry, I'm not going to get your hopes up there.

Yes, the cockroach

I'll give Danforth a call then for lunch sometime this week - especially if he's paying.

That's not Erik. That's Danforth Strout, the World's Greatest Salesman (aka "creepy sales guy").

... only if he thinks you can get him more clients, else he'll always be "busy" as he is when I call him
