XTara: Was that a threat?
Murdoch: When I threaten you, you'll know it.
Sal: Murdoch, behave. Ma'am, you don't want to attract more attention --
Tara: You can't threaten an Imperial officer, you little idiot! The IAF isn't some jumped-up thug army like you have here!
Sal: (offscreen) Excusez-moi?
Tara: I don't have to take this from a bunch of thieves and whores!
Travis: (offscreen) Uh, Tara --
Tara: What? Everyone knows Lowtowners will do anything for money --
Offscreen patron: Honey, they ain't a whore in Kieselburg done anything your Emperor wouldn't. Or anyone.
Tara: (offscreen) You take that back!
Offscreen patron: Yeah, be fair, Joe. Even the whores don't do aliens.
Murdoch: Hope you planned on fightin' your way outta here, Blue.
Travis: I was hoping we'd at least get through the dessert course.
Murdoch: When I threaten you, you'll know it.
Sal: Murdoch, behave. Ma'am, you don't want to attract more attention --

An assassin, a disgraced paladin, and a ninja accountant walk out of prison. Their mission: find out the secret of the Clockwork Boys. Not dying is optional.

The antics -- and appetites -- of the Emperor Undying have achieved the status of minor legend; political commentators across the Sol system argue endlessly over whether the latest scandal is genuine or simply a clever way of distracting attention from something else the Empire is doing. Since it is near-impossible to get a straight answer on anything from the Emperor himself, both sides usually have plenty of fodder. A third, largely unvoiced, theory is espoused by most members of His Highness's armed forces and government -- namely, that he exists only to try their patience.
