"How heavy do we plan to go in exactly? Are we trying to blend as long as possible or am I busting-out the LMG right away? I still think we should get this other gang to throw themselves at the Human Nation and smash whoever survives. Two birds one nuke, am I right?"

[Chrona]

"We should go with open slaughter as a last resort, Marduk. As Shark all ready explained, the gangs can be very useful to us. We should present ourselves as a benefit, not another enemy in a place they're contained."

Three Star glances at Shark while talking, he didn't like the Face but he preferred his plan over Marduk's any day.

[Retrokinesis]

"Eh, doesn't matter to me. I'll be twiddling my thumbs. Call me when something needs to be shot".

[Chrona]

"There'll be plenty of things for you to shoot that aren't the gangers," holding back his temper was becoming difficult but he continued, "We're all but sure there'll be some kind of infestation, and you're our glorified exterminator in that respect."

[RHat]

"Seems to me that would do more damage to the Arcology, too.  Now, we might have to root the Human Nation out, but there's a chance I might be able to get the other guys to work with us, making the whole job easier.  I find the 'guns blazing' options are best left a little ways down the alphabet, you know?  Usually ends up with more problems, not less.  And if it is bugs, we want allies, not more enemies."

[Retrokinesis]

"You say that like the gangers aren't an infestation to be exterminated. And if it is bugs, we want to cut off their food supply as quickly as possible. Make sure they have nothing to infest for backup". He gets up from the bar and leans against a wall. "Speaking of which, I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Shark on the KE IV capsule rounds without DMSO. Heavy pistol mags fine with everyone? We should probably put together a full shopping list".

He takes the opportunity to turn and glare at Three Star coldly. "Watch very carefully who you're calling a glorified exterminator. I still haven't decided you're not worth exterminating yourself".

[RHat]

"Would you rather have more guns shooting at the bugs, or less guns?  As for the loadout, heavy pistol rounds will cover me fine, but some splash grenades probably wouldn't be out of place.  What sort of ammo do you need for your drones, Tink?"

[Chrona]

"Gangers are not some scum for you to talk about on the same level as Bugs you, sociopathic imbecile. Their members contain just as many poor and lonely as they do the violent and drug addled. Most of them are still just another community on the their rung of societies ladder." He slams his glass down but not hard enough to do damage, "They. are. human... And I'll remind you that so am I. I have a temper, it is not like I am unaware. Fine you all reacted badly to how I chose to test you but it was out of faith that anyone who  could deal with the test would have been good for the team. You Marduk, I think you're sounding a lot like you can't remember the differences between humans and other things you've killed."

[RHat]

"You know, as ridiculous as his idea of what constitutes a 'test' is, the man's got a point Marduk.  You can't go around around killing people for no other reason than they might possibly get taken by bugs at some point."

[odd]

":I don't generally like just slaughter humanoids, but for bugs I'll need light machine gun rounds."

[Retrokinesis]

Marduk laughs at Three Star. "Really? You are trying to lecture me on morality? There was no 'test'. You tried to fuck with us, you failed, Steelfish called you on it. His recommendation is the only reason you're not lying in a pool of your own blood right now. As for the difference between gangers and bugs... it's academic. If I'm paid to kill something, do you think I care if they have a wife and kids counting on them? Once you accept the fact that you're shooting people in the face for money it really doesn't matter who or what they are. Thinking about it leads to madness. I used to be corpsec, you know. The kind of people we've all no doubt killed or gravely injured quite a few of".

He turns back to Jimmy. "The gangs are under your purview. I'm no diplomat. Until you can't solve it your way and it becomes my problem, I really don't care how you handle them. I was simply suggesting that the chances of getting two racist gangs to make nice and let their turf be stomped on is unlikely. Assuming the Human Nation will even talk to an elf, that is. It's be easier to intervene on the other gang's side and prop them up. From a purely tactical perspective".

[RHat]

"And should that call needs to be made, I'm perfectly capable of making it.  Don't go thinking that plan hadn't occurred to me."

[umraefein]

"Simply put, if I'm going in there with a gun, I am going to be useless. I cannot shoot. You'd be better off having me try to beat them with my bare hands... I... do flashy. As for people knowing about me... well, to be totally honest with you, the ones I'm scared of already know about me... and if they're chasing sightings of me in London, well, that might just help me stay under the radar here omae."

Ignazio looked distressed by the oncoming confrontation between Marduk and the rest of the team, and actively stepped in between the main instigators.

"Tranquilizarse boys... No reason to spill blood here. Yes, we have different methods and morals... And yes, all of us can be a bit overzealous... but we gotta work together. So put your big girl panties on, get over your diferencias estúpidas, and let's move on."

[RHat]

"Even if the gun's just a prop for now, it's an important prop.  The alternative is that the first thing to happen in a fight is you doing your best impersonation of swiss cheese - if they can pick you out as a mage before you have a chance to grab some cover, you're screwed omae, and there won't be a damned thing any of us can do about it.  That's just how it works.  By the same token, you being all loud and obvious about being a drake is not good for your long-term survival prospects.  Whoever it is your running from, they're not the only ones you need to be worried about by a long shot."

[Chrona]

"You are far more stupid than i ever imagined when you first introduced yourself Marduk. Believe what you will about my motivations for the KE raid." turning to Draco, "We can get you something you'd be comfortable with, there are a number of revolvers that are the easiest to operate if you are not tech-heavy." Due to their current privacy in the back room he reaches slowly to his ankle holster, pulls out his Taurus-6 and slides it, safety on, over to Draco, "Tell me how that feels in your hands, it's an average size and weight for one."
