Ref — briefing

We've got a problem. Not because of you - because of the Scavs. A shipment was on the way, new gear, guns, all that, but someone intercepted it. Looks like someone forgot to be scared. I've gotta remind them why stealing from me is a mistake. No, I don't need you for that. I'll handle it myself. What I do need is something else. Keep everyone tense while I'm gone. Shine in the Arena. Show them what kind of monster you are. That's all I need from you.
