We sat and nursed our drinks for a while, and in that time I learned a lot about the dynamics of the clans both through BB and through Fal.
According to them the three clans had been operating in Perspian City for as long as anyone could remember.
At first the clans had operated in relative harmony. Each one set up shop in a different one of the three mega megabuildings in the city, and considering each one of the vertical structures was basically a city in its own right they were content with the reach that they had.
But capitalism is like a drug. It works its way into your very soul and scoops out whatever sense you have like an ice cream man at a fairground. Before long the clans were at one another's throats.
Clan Pren, The Beasts and The Nulls. Three clans. Three buildings. Each one was as bad as the others.
They murdered, they sold people as slaves, they dealt drugs and they probably did worse things than all three of those thrown together.
