[ Some time after headway has been made collecting clues around Alexandria, Raidou will receive a message from Ratio. ]
Given the information Alexandria Institute's researchers have provided us, I believe it is crucial that we formally establish a research team organized entirely by Outsiders. Do you have an interest in participating?
[Raidou is very surprised to hear from the doctor at all. Then again, Outsider business is Outsider business. They all need to get along, for the greater good of all.
In what matter do you believe you can contribute best? While having experience in research and development is ideal, there are any number of ways you could contribute. For instance, you could handle administrative work, or the procurement of materials we need for our research.
[Which Ratio already knows, but Raidou has definitely demonstrated a strong willingness to learn and work.]
Perhaps procurement. I've already spent time connecting with various merchants and sellers in Neo Tokyo for Okinawa work. Books, seeds, soil, building materials.
[He has training as a detective. Let him hit the streets, talk to people, chase down leads.]
[ Ratio has no qualms inviting Raidou to join the research team precisely because he's seen the summoner's work ethic. And procurement would certainly be a good job for the young man, as that would expose him to a variety of people. ]
Those connections will certainly prove useful for the team. I shall leave procurement to you, but should you ever decide you'd like to take on a different role, you only need inform me.
[ In other words, Raidou is free to become a research assistant, or do admin work... anything he wants, really. ]
[ He almost wants to sigh when Raidou tacks on the line of courtesy after a notable pause. But perhaps he should change his perspective a bit, and try not to view every single thing the young man does as a slight. ]
Your diligence and work ethic is more than remarkable enough to warrant a direct invitation. There is no need for me to further evaluate you.
[ It's praise, something he's hardly ever given Raidou before. Simply because it's not in the scholar's nature to praise. But he's realized that yet again, he needs to change his approach with the young summoner. ]

[Then there's a pause. Those little bubbles showing he's writing start and stop a couple of times.]
Thank you for considering me.

For a moment, those bubbles appear again, but they're swiftly stopped. There's no further response after that.]
