Magnus asks for a little extra, maybe they could give us the Sai fighters or some mechs or something. But they just smile like we are idiots.
“After the stunt you guys pulled on Quentin last year, you owe us.”
“Wait, wait. What happened on Quentin was done by the Celestial Coalition, not us. Don’t get us confused. That was the Coalition’s action.” Magnus reminds them.
“When your ruler and your CO are the same guy, trust us, it’s the same thing.”
“Look at it this way. You wanted us, a mercenary unit, under your employ, to grab your stuff from Bear space, because you are not the same as us, and that way, you keep what happens at arm’s length. You can’t operate as if the merc and the house are two different things right now, and then not give our mercenary unit the same courtesy in regards to Quentin a few months ago.”
They don’t look convinced, so ah well. It’s always worth the try.
(What happened at Quentin? Guess you’ll just have to find out when we rewind this dynasty all back and nasty like!)
