<span class="mu-g"> I hardly think the total loss of half a million worth of merchandise is "minor" in any sense of the word. You promised your people could handle the task at hand. If we wanted this done by <span class="mu-i">actual</span> we would have dipped into your vaunted "Red" Market and hired the first gaggle of inane, mask-wearing fools to take a bid for a contract.
I take you appreciate the patience I am showing here, letting you talk your past this egregious mismanagement. </span>
<span class="mu-r"> Pfh. You think that's how it works around here? </span>
<span class="mu-g"> Mercenaries are the same in every country and on every continent. They get paid to provide solutions to problems. We're paying you to provide a solution to a problem. And you have not been living up to your promises, rat-man. If we need to, we'll put our men on it and then end this whole farce.</span>
<span class="mu-r"> And do entertain me in your piss poor accent: you think your so called professionals can do better? </span>
<span class="mu-g"> The difference between a fucking mercenary and a paid fucking professional is that professionals have <span class="mu-s">pride</span>, a trait you and all your scurry-rats sorely lack! I am going to have to *report* this, you understand? My fucking supervisor is going to be *livid* and I'm going to have to tell them YOU and YOUR idiot rats lost *half a million* crowns worth of merchandise to a bunch of *dreamers* in *MASKS*. Do you have any idea what that looks like on my *fucking* performance record?</span>
<span class="mu-r"> Ease, ease, clank heart. This is... a minor setback. I understand the loss is tangibly material, but I will simply take it on me to pay the difference. You can tell your distant paymasters that the stain of this loss will be covered in total and in full by my and mine. And we will have the ones responsible chased and hung from the Gates as an treat.</span>
<span class="mu-g">I <span class="mu-i">doubt</span> you can deliver. If it was so Void-taintedly easy, we would not be having this conversation in the stained ashes of your last shipment, now would we?</span>
<span class="mu-r"> You know what this city is? </span>
