Tedd - "Sorry, but I've heard some bad things about you, and it looked to me like she was looking at you in panel one."
Bishop - "I haven't even given you my name yet."
Tedd - "You're Agent Bishop."
Bishop - "GASP! But how? Even if you've heard of me, how could you identify me on sight?!"
Tedd - "...Seriously?"
Bishop - "Quite serious! I strive to be inconspicuous!"
Treasure Hunting
An abandoned bit of lore was Hope still being owed rewards that Pandora had earned. It was to be one of the reasons Mr. Verres would let Hope stay, but that was an idea from a while ago. By the time Hope actually met Mr. Verres, he didn't need much convincing.
Seriously, Hope probably could have shown up with no connection to anyone, and he still would've wound up doing SOMETHING to help her.
I believe I'd abandoned the idea by the end of Hope, and wound up establishing instead that she probably had a lot of rewards saved up.
