Dagger does things his own way. He's harsh, but effective. He'll get the job done, Athos. You'll keep the people safe.
[ That's the kind of man Athos is. That's why Sturmhond trusts him, even though he knows he's not fully on board with the CDC's goals. He won't put people at risk, no matter what his personal feelings are. ]
I'll have their backs, you can rely on that.
What about you? Are you ready for this? You look as though a stiff drink wouldn't go amiss.
[ He runs a hand over his face and lets out a sigh. ] I think it would take more than that, unfortunately.
[ He's made a mess out of everything and he knows it. But there's no way to back out now and all he's going to have to do is deal with the fallout. So he shoulders his pack and lets his hand drift to his sword handle. ] Perhaps when I'm back. [ And then reaching out to clap his friend by the shoulder. ] Stay safe.
See that you do. [ He offers him the smallest of nods and then moves to exit the rover. He doesn't want to be tardy and get on Dagger's badside before the misison even takes place. ]

[ He has the impression there’s more going on here than just this mission. Athos doesn’t just look anxious, he looks weary.
Now would not be the moment to ask him, even if there was time. Which there’s not, Sturmhond knows. He nods. ]
I will. Look after yourself. I’ll have that drink waiting when you come back.
