So:
-Aw, how tragic and sweet! Tagget and Ty are in an arms race, probably to keep Tagget from having to go all Khate and drag Ty around on dangerous adventures.
-...is Varkonius a big enough fan of DNR that he recognizes Khate or her armor from side clips? I mean, it'd make some sense, given that he's a murder aficionado, but still. Or maybe she crashed one of his other parties but didn't realize it or see him?
-If even Khate wants to run, you should probably have been running for long enough to be out of earshot by now!
-Now taking bets on how Vera's Master handles Wilcox.
-That's Adorable: The villain has been struck down!
-Nice Benefits: Oh good, Vera's Master has a ruthless mechwhale tyrant serving as his brutal lieutenant
-Your Eternal Reward: Oh REALLY good, Vera's Master has a shambling mutant cancermechwhale serving as his pet horror
-Try Again: Wilcox hasn't lived up to his end of the bargain yet, and cannot receive his "shall we say... fitting reward" until he completes more quests
-Paperwork In Order: He just does what he said he'd do, thereby confusing every single person involved in this deal... and thus gaining the element of surprise!
In other news, it's now occurring to me just how in their element a lot of us are at the moment. Boris is fistfighting a fancy-tech usurper in a locked down hallway using an ancient mining harness, Sadish has been kidnapped by primitive mutants who think she's a deity and therefore want to eat her flesh to properly honor her, Kesari is narrowly persuading insane criminals to please not kill everyone including themselves for just one moment, Scarlet has watched this mission go completely to shit like four consecutive stacking times in a row, Aubrey has free reign on an entire station, and Khate is never going to stop laughing about this deranged action show of a mission.
This was definitely the right team for this.
