"As it turns out, there isn't much money in engineering." And oh man wasn't that the truth. Every time he tried to bet a little more a member of normal society he found it had to not go back to easy money, taking it from people who had far too much of it had always been a bad habit of his. "A lot more money in the... Repo business." That's an interesting way to put B&E's Scott. "That's a tidbit you won't find in the book."

The VistaCorp incident was far from his first job. He made a lot of money breaking into mansions to steal things that were previously stolen from other people who also had far too much money and who paid Scott good money to do it 'quietly'. Which meant he'd mostly floated under the radar of the police, the items in question usually being things they ought not to have in the first place so no one ever reports them missing but they do want them back. That's where Scott came in.

"I used to make a lot of money stealing from the rich and giving to the... Richer. I was really good at what I did. I figured out a lot about how things work, and how to make them not work." Security cameras, alarm systems, safes, locks, sensors. The list goes on and on. But he never took more than he needed, and never from anyone who couldn't really take that hit. He'd always toed that line fairly well until he'd been sent over the edge by VistaCorp taking from people who couldn't handle those losses.

"And at least you got it out of your system. I don't think I've gotten there yet, as you know from last night." He teases giving the others backside a playful squeeze as Phil closes distance between them. "I'm still such a little shit, and have a bad habit of getting my ass in trouble."
