"Congratulations on your new Edge Transit!" Lord Shaxx greets you. "A damn sight better than the older version, no doubt."

"If I'm honest, and I always am, I wasn't sure whether to include it in your old arsenal. Everyone and their dog had a go at these, and they never really took off. But the Drifter, of all people, advocated for it."

"I've learned to trust him on such matters. And little else," he adds wryly.

"So I asked around, and those penny-pinching bean-counters at the foundries had so many spare parts that I thought, 'I bet I could kitbash this ugly duckling into a swan! A lethal, shrapnel-spraying swan.'"

"AND SO I DID!" he exults.
