An eyebrow rose over one eye when Beaumont began to claim innocence over … something. Imperious did not comment, though there was an unspoken 'I may come back to that later' in the expression. Standing at the desk alongside Beaumont he observed the man's reaction the area on the man that had been indicated. A cistern turned into a giant crude oil barrel. What could be hidden amongst that … and was this Mara helping Renner find things? The last question came to mind as Imperious thought on some of the times Renner had found things that no one should have been able to without some kind of special insight or foreknowledge.
"
Spooky. In what way do you find it unnerving?"
Beaumont shrugged. “Hard to say, really. Place just unnerves you. Can’t quite place it, the why of it.”
Imperious looked over the map, studied it for a few seconds, then brought his eyes back to Beaumont after the man had time to consider the question posed to him. Then he asked another.
"There was some mention of beastmen. Do you have any reason to believe there might be some in that black zone?"
Beaumont nodded. “Oh, yeah, I could see those bastards coming to a blackzone. Beastmen may be stupid, but they got this, I don’t know, ‘understanding’ of primitive tech—-and that includes fuel. F**k, some of them know how to weaponize the s**t!” He paused. “Didn’t you clean out a whole mess of those things a while back?”
