[sparring-spirals]

You know, something that cracks me up is that the Cerberus Assembly absolutely still thinks the m9 engineered Vess's death somehow, right? Like, "ooh they got themselves assigned as her protective detail, and either assassinated her or helped set up her murder. Classic political moves from a powerful party".

But nope. The Mighty Nein really got roped into a single protective detail which they were actually trying to fufill, and then their client got offed because they were just too busy having hot chocolate bonding time in their tower. It happens. (If you're the Mighty Nein).
