>>6001920>"So how much for each? By weight, or unit."Stukka continues making cartridges.
<span class="mu-s">" 10 20 and 30 per scoop. 100, 200 and 300 per barrel. Barrel hold maybe 15 scoops, so the barrel is best value. One size."</span>
>Didn't ask for one. Wasn't gonna, either.Stukka makes a non-committal 'mm' sound.
>Could we ask for a rundown on the last two? Not sure which is the best for our needs.Stukka irritably sets down her calipers and finally looks up.
<span class="mu-s">"Nitro silica explodes bigger and better but is much less stable. Shock sensitive. Tri-nitro is a little weaker but-"</span>
Stukka very suddenly throws a large chunk of metal at a nearby barrel.
Richter wraps her arms around Jorn and (sort of) you and put herself between you and the barrel.
Nothing happens.
Stukka does a small snort through her nose.
<span class="mu-s">"Needs a booster to go boom. Also works underwater. Don't touch it too much though. Bad for you like smoking."</span>
Richter releases you both.
Jorn unwraps her crumpled note and does a little 'ahem-hem'
<span class="mu-b">"Ms Kilkeel. I am not here to apologise. To do so, so simply would be an insult to the indignity and harm that this town, and especially you particularly endured. While I did not weild the hammer or the knife that was so callously set upon you, by my inaction and limited protest I am no less guilty. I come here not to apologise. To apologise is to in any way suggest under social norms that forgiveness is in any way forth coming. That it is part of the deal. It can not be. I am here only to say that I will never forget what was done to you. I will forever be in your debt and to this town. If there is anything you need, I hope you would do me the honor of allowing me to help you."</span>
Jorn folds up her note.
Stukka nods
<span class="mu-s">"Sure."</span>
