IC: "Okay, let me be
equally blunt then. If I wanted you dead, you wouldn't
see where the shot came from. I'm carrying an
anti-materiel sniper rifle, after all. If I wanted you
captured, I'd grab someone and run away. I doubt any
of you would be able to catch up to me. I'm driving an
infiltration, espionage and front line combat android, that
sort of thing is what this body was designed for. I can
prove those statements if necessary. As for the Splugorth,
I get that you don't like them. I don't like them
much either. But they have business operations on hundreds
of thousands of worlds and don't much care who or what
you are if you have money."

"There are a lot of reasons why the group should not
trust me either," the red headed scout states. "I
am blunt so will not beat around the bush. As easily as you
seem to have been released by the Splugorth minions, there
is concern that you may be their ally and working with them
on the ambush."

She fumbles just a little with that word, not being a
familiar term for her. "I am from the Coalition which
those who practice magic have good reason to distrust.
There is a lot of distrust for those who are minions of
Atlantis as well?"
