Quotes by Robbie MacNiven (?)

“It would be very easy to kill them,’ Red Tane pointed out to Nuritona. ‘Quick. Clean. Little blood. Maybe some oil.”
― Robbie MacNiven, Carcharadons: Void Exile

0 likes

“Shall I kill them, strike veteran?’ Red Tane’s question was genuine, and Nuritona answered it as such.

‘No. That might offend them, and you recall the Company Master’s instructions about avoiding that.”
― Robbie MacNiven, Carcharadons: Void Exile

“If you wish to possess our weapons, you may come and take them from us,’ Nuritona said.

‘I compute that as a threat,’ the tech-priest hissed.”
