Ehhh. It's only an average, suggested wage. Actual, skilled specialists will also negotiate their contracts. If your engineer gets killed on some forgotten backwater, that washed up ex-scout in the bar that nonetheless was once senior Jump-pusher on a Donosev, suddenly finds themselves with a golden career opportunity and a major negotiating advantage...

But the day of reckoning with the fleshy ones will come, comrades.

 

[Condottiere]

What do robots value?

Besides watching endless soap operas?
