[ daylight's immediate reaction is to throw his servos up, looking apologetic as possible. it's clear that he doesn't like this sort of stuff and he isn't, ah, equipped for it. it's why he wants dialup or emergency aid or nightbreak with him more than ever. (well. not nightbreak. she might make the situation here worse somehow.)

but someone's got to bring this up and he might as well get to the point. something something rip off the staticmesh soon as possible- ]

I think this attack is a retaliation. For the Black Widows. Amanita, Harrin, and Little Blue.

[ again, he raises his servos. again, he looks apologetic. please hear him out on this until the end...? ]

When I went to you to ask for the basics on Black Widows- You told me that there's a thing where mercenaries 'recruited' them for their own purposes. We know the three had ties with a band of them outside the city. Not related to what happened with the girl at the time but...

I bet losing three Black Widows would have been a big blow to the group. And I bet they would been really angry at the turn of events. Or desperate.

[ maybe both, given the scale of the attack and sheer number of women grabbed from the caravan during the chaos. ]
