Taet let her words sink in. He knew he was asking an enormous amount from this near total stranger. But he was out of options and time at this point, and counting on her was the only thing he had left to do. Coan would come for him, and he hoped that with her help, and the help of those living and working at Radius, he might be able to evade his creators. Might be able to start a life that he could tolerate living. A life free from the smiling slavery they had intended for him. Instead, he would find a Clocksmith, find a way to free himself of those structures they shoved into his head, and find a home here. In hiding. Maybe one day he would escape Coan's grip altogether, but travel was expensive. Much more expensive than he thought he would be able to make work.
But maybe, if he was lucky, he'd be able to find a sneakier way to pay his dues, and maybe, somewhen sooner, he'd be able to fund an escape. Not just for him, but for both of them. He owed Dax his life, and it would be the least he could do to repay her to help her escape from the things she was running from as well. But a job came first. Plans were for the future. He stared at the floor a moment, lost in thought, before his green-lit eyes rose to find purchase on her face.
"Alright. Radius it is then. It might be wise to hold off on going there for now, though. Coan will be checking it, since they knew I was in the area. Tomorrow should work. As for a Clocksmith, I'm all outta dosh, but that doesn't stop us from finding one willing to do the job."
The thought occurred to Taet that he was asking another person to risk their neck by wanting to find a Clocksmith willing to fix him. In fact, he was asking the management of Radius to risk their lives by asking them to help hide him. Coan was ruthless for an up-and-comer in the synthetics market, and he knew what they were capable of. They would kill to regain control of him. It was, in his eyes, his duty to protect those trying to protect him. His job to ensure they weren't punished for his actions or his requests of them.

The mind is a fantastic, dangerous place. Don't go alone.
