"Magical creatures are such a pain in the ass..." Mako swore under her breath.
"Let's hope not."

"My opinion? That sending 003 after the gargantuan demon they claimed they didn't release would have cleaned up both ends of the mess. Instead we have a net negative and increased coworker mistrust in a hostile work environment that seems more and more likely to end in an unwilling asset merger. Sorry, let me make it simpler, stupid buzzwords. The deal was stupid and I'm very upset about it."

"Doing as you suggest would have likely angered Bob and put us in worse conditions in the long term. And no, we did not release Bob. Bob went back home to Hell or wherever the fuck he's from. The deal was stupid, but it could have been exponentially worse. If there are things you wish to obtain we can work out how to arrange money such that you can obtain them. Otherwise, talk with the others about where in line you will be for Danh to pay you back, or suggest a different method of debt repayment."

"Now, can we talk about the intel that we obtained from Bob, or are you going to keep up about something none of us can do anything about until the mission is done and the reports are filed? For context, I got the Tranq guns so we could make more money."

"Since we don't know whether or not the Vampire or Vampires have magic that could disguise or control, we should figure out a way of making sure each of us is who we say we are. It should be short but not easily guessed."

Spoiler: Actually we do (click to show/hide)

((If you haven't, please go back a few pages and read the intel Bob gave us. Because I had Ratodx tell Khaiden said intel.))

"Then we should most definitely work out a way to detect any imposters or if one of us is being controlled."

"If it weren't for the translators and the language barriers we'd have without it, we could've just used Common Terran. I guess it should still be some Terran quote, though. That shouldn't be easy to guess for the vampire." Mako thought for a bit.

"How about... 'To light a candle is to cast a shadow'?"

"Hmmm. Well we have helmets and full body gear- one sec

To Reserti: "Put on your full Akras provided armor. Direct order. It has wards that will save your ass."

"As I was saying, we also have IFFs that will let us known if someone dressed in a full assault suit is actually on the squad. And our helmets have anti-possession wards."

"If it weren't for the translators and the language barriers we'd have without it, we could've just used Common Terran. I guess it should still be some Terran quote, though. That shouldn't be easy to guess for the vampire." Mako thought for a bit.

"How about... 'To light a candle is to cast a shadow'?"
"We can also require that said statement be said over comms, which they probably can't reproduce so easily."

"I'll be blunt. There's something called Teeth. Apparently they aren't corporeal. How do we kill it?"

"If it's an Incorporeal Undead I might be able to take care of it with Necromancy, but it's not a sure thing. And we should plan for Illusions and mind control, so code words will be a must-have."

(I'm aware, he was agreeing)

"I'd suggest we have at least three each so one being overheard won't be an immediate compromise."

"'The better part of valour is discretion' and 'Let's kill all the lawyers' sound good enough?" Mako wasn't sure if Gaians even have a word for 'lawyers', but since they seemed to understand her talking about 003 and referencing lawyers earlier, they probably do.

Ratodx has a thought and face palms.

"Mako, can you put in a request for information about how to deal with, as in kill or pacify, incorporeals which may or may not be Undead?"

(I'm aware, he was agreeing)

"I'd suggest we have at least three each so one being overheard won't be an immediate compromise."
"We do have only comms communication, you guys know that right? These helmets are quite handy."

"'The better part of valour is discretion' and 'Let's kill all the lawyers' sound good enough?" Mako wasn't sure if Gaians even have a word for 'lawyers', but since they seemed to understand her talking about 003 and referencing lawyers earlier, they probably do.
"Sounds good to me. So, next topic. Khaiden, what do you know about the various EnSouled Beings and types of Vampires we have intel on?"
