Down the rabbit hole

[Torment]

Freeport 9

A few moments of silence filled the air after Vals revelation, sure Lucian had heard rumors of the Order over the years serving the legion, but he had never actually met anyone from the organization itself. Frankly, he wasn't half sure he actually had believed the rumors at all, they had felt like strong tales told by drunk captains at most and convenient excuses to not properly identify incoming freighters at worst. "Can't say I've dealt with the Order in the past." Lucian mused as he took the shard. "From what little I do know, the Order is considered a small terrorist organization by the Houses but is mostly focussed on fighting the Nomads, does that sound about right?"

Lucian frowned in thought, rubbing his own chin without realizing before adding: "Are you sure your client has the ability to make repairs to a ship as large as the Torment? It's not exactly a gunboat class vessel after all. And, perhaps even more important, what do they expect in return?"
