"Nero, this is not a game," Flintlock said, trying to reason with him. "Providing other sensitive information can help you progress farther in the ranks of Unity, but if you purposefully fail this mission, I can't promise that you'll be allowed to enter. Although our intentions are positive, that does not mean that just anyone can mess with us."
Nero's expression did not change in the slightest, nor was there a single fluctuation in his emotional state. Flintlock could tell because he could sense Nero's state of mind, and it was very stable.
"So you're threatening me now?" he asked in an even voice. "Complete the mission or else I'll be punished? What? You'll frame me for some crime? Or will it be something more direct? Should I anticipate an incoming assassination attempt? If this is the kind of organization Unity is, I want to join them even less, and there's definitely no way I can trust you all."
