"Hey, a gun like that would look kick-ass, and don't you try and deny it!" Azulius laughed as the pair walked out into the surprisingly calm Vale evening. "But that might be an idea for your techies to make some more money.  Take some of Flagg's newest tech, make it all pretty, and sell customized weapons to anyone with the dough and the expensive taste.  Be a better deal than the guy with a solid gold revolver I played bacarrat against once.  Never saw him shoot it, but it struck me as maybe the worst firearms-related idea I had ever seen.  And staying at Beacon, that's saying a lot."

"Let me think about that one," Trigo mused sarcastically. "Go and rob a group who not only stocks enough guns, ammuniton, Dust, and other goodies to occupy half of Atlas, but keeps organizations like us on speed-dial.  I can't imagine that ending well.  Or if they were to begin double-crossing their clients, they would face everything from the loss of business to actual revenge.  The De La Croix are the best, but they are nowhere close to the only show in town."

"Perhaps some introductions are in order, next time you're in Vale," Ochre agreed, grabbing another handful of popcorn. "Of course, either Trigo or I would have to introduce you, but it's always good to expand one's network.  Interesting trivia:  next time you watch a gangster film, pay attention to how a man introduces a friend to another from the same organization.  If he says something like, 'This is Red SuchandSuch, a friend of mine', it means exactly what it sounds like.  But if he says 'a friend of ours', he is letting his coworker know that he vouches for his friend, and they may discuss criminal business with him openly.  No one strikes a deal with anyone in the mob without being vouched for by someone already considered trustworthy."

"It's true," Trigo agreed, pressing play once more.
