[Video]

[tyrantball]

When the feed snaps on, there's nobody in the frame - just a massive gun. The feed stays trained on it for at least half a minute before it's moved around to stare Desco in the face.

"Listen up, all you humans! Desco and Miss Nano beat up a big red guy the other night, and Desco stole his gun!"

At this, Desco glances away from the video feed towards the direction of the gun and licks her lips.

"Desco doesn't know what it's made of, but it's the most delicious metal she's ever tasted. So the Final Boss is officially putting out a bounty on ALL of the red guys! If you bring Desco their guns, she will personally see to it that someone you don't like will cease to exist!"

A slight pause as she considers her offer.

"Desco reserves the right to refuse if her target has already brought her a gun. And also if Desco likes the target Desco will probably just kill you instead."

She gives the camera a bright smile, showing off her shark-like teeth.

"Now, if you've got all that, heed the words of the Final Boss and go beat up those red guys!"

Addendum:

The feed suddenly snaps back, revealing Desco once again.

"All Desco wants is the guns. If you can get one without beating up the red guys, feel free to do that instead. Bye bye!"

Legions of the imperium. The Blood Angels were loyal. The WOrd Bearers were... not.

[all_wound_up]

Then he's one of the bad guys?

[greyerrant]

I will concede the possibility. But that raises the question of why he didn't attempt to use desco to kill you.

[all_wound_up]

...Use her?

[greyerrant]

The Word Bearers are known to be able to command daemons.

[all_wound_up]

Oh. I don't know, then, I'm sorry.

[Nano frowns for a moment before looking back at the camera.]

But it seems like all of this ended up being a misunderstanding. If I get Desco to apologize, will you apologize to her and her friends for threatening them? The things you said weren't very fair, considering you didn't have all the information.

[greyerrant]

Apologize? To a daemon? No.

She was perfectly willing to kill my brothers for her food, traitors though they be.

I can't exact vengeance for killing traitors but I'm certainly not going to pretend I don't consider her a threat to humans in this place.

[all_wound_up]

You threatened her life over a misunderstanding! And her friends' lives! You did something wrong too, Cerberus-san, and you should take responsibility for making hasty judgements.

2/2 SURPRISE

...I'm not saying you have to like her, or even that she didn't do anything wrong, but two wrongs don't make a right and stubbornness isn't helping anyone.
