>"...lown the coop. Bits of armor here and there, debris from the mortars. Corpse is missing."
>"Pick up what you can. Worse case, we'll sell the scrap."
>"Did you check out that recent job thread? Looks like Mister Johnson's paying a pretty penny for the gear. IF its in one piece."
>"Better idea- let's give OUR Mister Johnson the busted shit and call it a day. I don't feel like messing with some chip-head naming themselves 'Thong'."
>"Stow that, Grim. We're here to do a job, and I aim to finish it."
>"Yeah yeah, whatever."
>"Hey boss! Check it out!"
>"What is it Reap?"
>"...well I'll be. That'd be nice mounted on my wall."
>"Yer not going to sell it?"
>"Nah, the hell use are a bunch of suits gonna get out of a busted up helmet anyway?"
>"It's a collector's item- HEY!"
>"Finder's keepers, mate."
>"Argue over the loot later. The trail's gone cold... unless..."
>"Tophy, got a map of the area? Underground too, if you please."
>"Gimme a minute..."
>"...so, any wonder why Mister Johnson decided to strike now, instead of taking out these costumed freaks earlier?"
>"They're biding their time, Grim. Taking them out one by one, all sneaky like. Same thing with the hit on Red Mask."
>"You mean the Thong-chick is an assassin?"
>"Her? Hell naw. Nutjob is what she is. Nothing else to it."
>"Surprised there aren't more people posting hits on *her*. Even the GCPD didn't, and they lost some cops, too."
>"Pay attention to the details, Grim. She hasn't hit any corpers yet. Or if she did... no AAA ones. Yet."
>"And you know how they just love playing jokers against each other."
>"Like us?"
>"Shaddup!"
>"Boss- underground tunnels all over this area. Some sewers, some old subway lines... and some unusual ones. Manmade. Fresh."
>"Not on any maps."
>"...mmm... so cliche."
>"Boss?"
>"We're going spelunking, chummers."
>"Our princess is in another castle."
