The employment contract for a Banshee is a study in being both rigorous and completely lax. In its paragraphs and phrasing, there is a distinct charm reminiscent of the early Northern Viking era. The employing party is not Alice herself, but Sun City Hive, while the employed party is not Melina herself, but the 383 Agency to which Melina belongs. This is a letter of intent for cooperation rather than a simple one-on-one bilateral contract, which is quite common for Banshee contracts. The underlying message is simple: if the person completing the commission runs off or messes up, you go find their parents. Someone must always be held accountable—that logic runs through the entire document from start to finish.
