Mmm'yeah... truth is, the orb takes from us every mission. We pay for the use of the orbs in a lot of ways, some more controlled than others. You probably won't have to deal with it until next mission, but the orbs give us 'personal goals' to fulfill on our gigs. Some worse than others.

The more you perform, the more use you'll get from the orbs.

Not to mention, we pay up by collecting them in the first place.
