ASHLY: That’s the plan.
LIAM: Yeah, and we don’t have all the time in the
world because we are trying to intervene before
the worst happens.
MARISHA: We mentioned about going and looking to
see if a Tasker would be up to it. There were the
Taskers, and there were the other group of hired
workers.
MATT: Yes, The Grunge Gang– The Grudge Gang,
which the Taskers are a part of it.
SAM: Wait, is is Grudge or Grunge?
MATT: Grudge.
SAM: Can I just say Grunge is better name?
MARISHA: Is it like, the Grudge Gang is an
umbrella corporation of the Taskers, or vice versa?
MATT: Vice versa. The Grudge Gang is the
overarching, loose network of mercenaries that
sell swords and do not affiliate directly with any
of the other political powers. They’re all just
outside of the system within the town. The Taskers
are a small subsect of the Grudge Gang that have
taken it upon themselves to keep the peace to a
certain extent.
LIAM: Do we get a sense of the Taskers, are they
just a group, like us? Like a small group, or we
don’t know yet?
MATT: Well, you don’t know. You’ve had some
experience here. The Taskers, best that you can
surmise, you haven’t had a lot of dealings with
them, they are probably in the neighborhood of 30
to 35 people. They are not a massive group by any
means, and they’re stretched a little thin, but
because a lot of them have friends within the
Grudge Gang, and people they’ve worked with
before, they can usually call upon friends if need
be, especially if they have some coin to their
side and they have a specific endeavor they need
to do.
ASHLY: Well?
SAM: Do you think we should go talk one, chat one
up?
ASHLY: It seems like the best option to me. I’m
not sure who else we could turn to.
MARISHA: I mean, just to play devil’s advocate
here, is it an issue if we get a hired mercenary
group to kill another underground faction in their
same town? Is that–
ASHLY: Could it trace back to Ophelia, is that
what you are saying?
MARISHA: Yeah, I don’t know, it’s a weird
political issue, hiring someone in the system.
SAM: Maybe before we go randomly hiring people:
what do we need to make this attack? We can
probably get in. Also, we’re not attacking, right?
We’re just going to go and try to rescue, or maybe
pick off one or two of them, or smoke them out, so
that the prisoners, or whatever, have to leave and
we can rescue, right? We’re not trying to kill
everyone in the motherfucking house, right?
MARISHA: Well this Ophelia wants us to kill
everyone in the motherfucking house.
SAM: Well I just want to get our people out.
LIAM: Then we are not fulfilling our
responsibilities.
