[IC] The Lesser of Two Heresies.
HexaDoken:
"Whoa."
Upon receiving the black medal, HexaDoken's look pauses at it... in awe. No, seriously, Inquisitorial Rosette just at the first serious mission for Inquisition? That obviously is much more than this mercerenary expected.
He quickly hides it somewhere under the jacket.
"This mission sounds easy enough... but the 'everything you want' kind of reward obviously points that it is not. Neither you would just give rosettes to someone like us, right?
Stray Hounds... I would like to have more information about them, if possible. Namely, how powerful are they. I can already guess that they are powerful as hell, but a bit of specifications wouldn't hurt. Generally, I'd just like to know who I'm going to deal with.
Other than that, no questions probably..."
LuckyDee:
With an aversion that probably shows as - for the first time - his expression changes for a few seconds, Lazerus takes the rosette from the box and examines it. Without looking up, he responds to Van Bohr's question: "We won't get anywhere with these Stray Hounds as long as any of us are still obivously wearing other gang's colours, or any other outfit that marks us as obvious outsiders."
Spoiler (click to show/hide)I assume HexaDoken's outfit is not one that will not stand out in an Underhive society.
Please give me a detailed description of the rosette.
Klear:
MkLear palms the rosette, a look of slight disbelief in his eyes. This is going to be serious business, his look says for a fleeting moment. Then he gets a hold of himself and joins the conversation.
"We just need a likely story why the three of us wish to join their outfit, Laz. We are all newcomers here on Malfi, right? Maybe we pulled a heist and it didn't work out. We had to find a place to hole up and Malfi is as good as anywhere to do just that. And just in case the authorities are following us, we're in a desperate need to allies. If we can show the Stray Hounds we are dependable, pull a few jobs for them, they might be willing to have us join sooner than you'd expect, sure as sure. As for the guardsman," MkLear turns to the Inquisitor, "would it be possible to have the official records say he is AWOL? I'm not sure if these gangers have the means to check that, but it would be a nice touch if they did."
A slight frown crosses his face, while his head is busy considering different plans and schemes - most if not all of which will probably have to be abandoned when faced with more facts.
"How much time do we have for this? Do you know when they are planning to do this heist? I think we can infiltrate them, but not if we're on too tight schedule."

Lazerus slowly shakes his head, and speaks, still in the same calm, flat voice:
"Requires too many lies to make a shaky story at best. We'd be better off looking like drones and having a simpler scheme going."
Spoiler (click to show/hide)Interruption is a bit hard to play with the conversation going post by post, but Lazerus - convinced of the validity of his opinion - will definitely speak up upon hearing this.
Klear:
MkLear frowns at Lazerus for interrupting his train of thought.
"Well then you two can be drones, if that's what you do best. I intend to make a good impression. And how can you be sure I'm lying about my history?" he adds with a mischievous smile.
"Anyway, like I was saying..."
Spoiler (click to show/hide)The speech from my previous post continues, unless there is another interruption, of course.
