Ranger clouds up again, and I realize that somehow the Sioux deal is actually his action, and the hose-up has cost him bad—money or rep, or maybe both. Which is interesting. The Cutters are compartmentalized. There’s a ... well, call it a "division"—since some of the members like pretending the gang’s a corp anyway—that handles business deals like the Czech rifles. The war boss and his soldiers provide security, but it’s kind of like interdepartmental loans of resources. Normally, Ranger wouldn’t give a flying frag about the loss of the rifles or the warehouse, and he would simply write off the loss of Fraser, En, and the rest as business-as-usual attrition of his personal empire.
