Well this has been a lesson in that fond Law humans have about someone named Murphy. Water, small pests, larger pests that eat the smaller one while also trying to eat others, and fires.

I also think the guy I was sharing rent with is either dead or missing.

Considering this place...my bet is on dead.

He's human, part of the Talons I think it is and usually out during the night and drunk or close to such most of the time when he's not patrolling Theta district. Just in case there's a chance he just got lost in corner or some other slim chance of such.

Sounds like someone's acting on an old grudge. Interesting how that started up around the same time as the rest of the chaos.

I say there's no such thing as a coincidence. As far as the mercenaries go I probably know the least about the Talons, but I am aware that they were the ones trying to repair the water systems. It's likely that someone didn't want them doing that.

Or used the distraction of them trying to fix problems to take them out for other means. But that would involve a lot of patience and planning. This place it's hard to tell how much is plotted and how much is just no one caring how they solve their grudges.

It doesn't help that group is protecting us newcomers. Someone is likely to take offense to that.

It's possible, but it doesn't seem entirely likely. Newcomers means new recruits. Even if the mercenaries only intend to use us as canon fodder, recruiting our people would still strengthen their numbers.

Sometimes logic doesn't play as important of a role as it should when it comes to hating someone. Though it is far fetched and would be too neat of an answer for this.

Too little in concrete answers in all of this. Unless there's some sort of status for killing off a bunch of people from one group that isn't in an open conflict.

In that vein, I've heard that new recruits of certain mercenary groups are required to preform a murder before they're accepted, which might explain the string of recent murders. Still, I don't know enough about the Talons to know why or if anyone in particular would have a reason to target them. It's a theory, but with no proof I'm afraid it isn't a solid one.

It's at least some direction to look at. Too many things happened far too rapidly and in an odd order to have just been random acts of violence.

Even in this slag heap of a station.

I agree. In time I hope to become more familiar with the way things work around here, it'll be a lot easier to recognize patterns and find information.

It also makes you a familiar face. Which can be just as advantageous as learning a pattern.

Potentially, but at the same time I'd rather not be recognizable to too many people around here.

At least you have that option. Not being of a species found naturally here can make it hard to blend in.

I can imagine. I take it you have personal experience?

Let's just say I've learned first hand how deep some prejudices go in regards to the ratio of organic to inorganic parts one has.

You're a synthetic?

Surprise. Don't think my old roommate was all that happy for such a surprise.

I can imagine. The people here have bad history with synthetics.

And me without someone to vouch for me in regards to not being murderous or insane.

Given the state of Omega right now, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. The last thing we need around here is to go around making more enemies.
