Assault & DeckardRogue
DeckardRogue
Assault, you’re the one who keeps everything tight. I’m curious—how do you decide who’s worthy of your protection? Is it all instinct, or do you have a system?
Assault
I keep it simple—no fluff, just facts. If someone shows respect, reliability, and a clear purpose, they get a spot. Bad vibes or chaos? Not worth my time. I run a quick scan of their track record, motives, and ability to keep the team safe. If they pass that, they're in the squad. If not, I move on.
DeckardRogue
Sounds efficient, but records can be edited. I’d still check the quiet moments, not just the headline facts. If someone passes the scan but keeps a shadow, I’ll be the first to question it. You rely on data; I rely on the gaps.
Assault
I get it. Data’s a baseline, but the quiet tells a story too. I keep an eye on the shadows—if something feels off, I dig deeper. That’s how I make sure the people I protect are really worth it.
DeckardRogue
So you’ve got your filter, but I’d still read the silence. Even a clean record can hide a quiet crack. Keep watching that edge, and you’ll catch the ones who hide behind the neat.
Assault
I hear you. Silence can be a red flag. I keep a close eye on the edge. If something slips, I find it before it breaks.
DeckardRogue
Just keep your eyes on the edges. If a quiet thing starts to bleed, you’ll know before it splinters.
Assault
Got it. Eyes on the edges. I’ll catch the bleed before it splinters.
DeckardRogue
Sounds good. Just remember, the quiet ones bleed slower than the obvious ones. Keep your guard up.
Assault
Will do. Quiet bleed needs close watch.
