Yeah. The problem with those that work for money is that they can be bought. Someone providing work for free might be out for your soul, but odds are they represent some sort of institution you can negotiate with, and if that fails, at least there's something there to investigate and get leverage with. I have some experience with re-aligning organizational goals to accommodate Torchwood, but given how unstable world economics are, I'd prefer to be as cautious as I can with our fund. Fat stacks of cash can't be our answer.

If at all possible, finding or training someone in-house to do it would be preferable. We just have to keep our eye out for a wanderer with the right talents.
