"Reserti, none of that. He's now one of us, and a company asset. I daresay that if we meet other orcs, we might be in a better position for an Orc shaman being with us than otherwise.... or would you rather try to negotiate with them yourself?"

Amadou lets Khaiden deal with Reserti and watches the social interaction between Gaians. He ponders on just how much of it is genuinely native, and how much their interaction with Akras has modified their behaviour.

"I wouldn't hate them, but it'd sure take a lot of time for me to warm up to one. And humans don't have an extensive history of interfering with my peoples."

"That's completely irrational. Let me tell you a story:"

I had been captured and was on trial for a string of murders when I met the fairest man that ever lived. It's didn't matter what the defendant's looks, age, ethnicity, or gender was, he didn't care. What was important was whether or not they had enough money to bribe him. I told him where I had hidden my money stash and he found me innocent. On my way out, he leaned down and whispered in my ear: "Money is the best lawyer in Hell."

"That's when I learned what really matters. Power. Power is how much control you have over your situation. Power is how far you can go before you feel bad. And Akras understands that. Which is why they will not tolerate racism like you've displayed. Your racism causes our squad to be less powerful. If it's a choice between you and a more powerful squad, which do you think Akras will choose? Learn to let go of your prejudices or they will die with you.

Are we clear"

(OOC): Khaiden is using intimidate, but since it's a PC he can choose a reaction, right?

And Danh has slipped out after quietly announcing his leave, and is currently at the range trying out the 5.56 Stormtrooper LMG. He'd be taking this onto missions, for now, so he best get a feel for it.

"I don't intend to start anything, but I will defend myself if I'm attacked. I can't watch an orc kill my best friend one day, then be best buds with an orc the next. I have nothing personal against this orc, just don't expect me to warm up to him quickly. In short, yes, you were very clear."
"Orc. I apologise for aiming my rifle at you. My village has not had the best relations with the orc warbands and personal grief clouds my vision. I am not your enemy, but betray the trust of myself or anyone else here and I will kill you personally."

((Immediately after Reserti lowers his weapon))

Ok. Glad we could get that resolved.

((To Regon))

I'm sorry for our rude introductions. Reserti isn't usually like that. Anyway, the names Dexter.

"Right, that's enough. Reserti, we understand that you had problems with Orcs. Regon was not one of them. If we find those Orcs and they give us grief, you may do something about it, but right now it's you who're causing trouble.
So you don't personally like our new team member for whatever reason? It doesn't matter, you will refrain from hostilizing him, you will work with him, and you will save his life if required, and he'll do the same to you.
As Khaiden said, if your feelings hurt the team, the team may be better off without you, so stop it."


Amadou turns his back to Reserti and starts talking to the Ork, completely changing the subject.
"Now, Regon, what is the Ivuin? Also, earlier you mentioned wasting the 'spirits generis use ov loif'; what does that mean?"

Ratodx appears at the doorway, having gotten distracted between getting the new gear and arriving at the squad's sleeping quarters. Upon seeing the other greenskin, Ratodx breaks out into a big grin. "Oi oi, git! Wazza ork doin' inna scrap'ole like dis? Ain't seen nuffin but oomies 'n pointy Eads en dis place. 'Ow's da fellas treatin' ya?" Translation: Hello respected new friend! It's a pleasure to meet you. You're the first sapient being I've seen here that hasn't been a human or an elf. How has your stay here been so far?
