Richard's Conversation with Flogistan

On Mapday, Tailormoon, 1313, Vizier Richard Dargent had a secret conversation by mirror with Flogistan, Mister Barreck and Scarhide. His son, Katib Hugo Dargent, being quarantined with the Shakes and thus having nothing better to do with his time, recorded the conversation on one of Basil's gems.
Later, on Givesday, Soldiermoon, 1313, Hugo sent the gem to Vizier Cobbler Bakerstreet, after Cobbler's conversation with him reminded him of its existence.

Flogistan: Of course we know the Dargent silver is always up to the task. Just need to clarify what I'm telling me boys, is all.
Mr Barreck: [raspy] I've worked with the Order of Sirocco before. I trust their discretion, but what about the dog?
Fourth voice: [very low growl]
Richard: Scarhide is not of your concern. Rest assured he knew Sky-Eyes and he knew Roughpelt. He knows what the Dargent Family expects.
Flogistan: Glad to hear that's been cleared up then. All that is left is for you to provide a location and a date.
Richard: Locations. Plural.
Flogistan: Ah, yes. For the Privateers of Mister Barreck, locations. Plural.
Richard: Mister Barreck, firstly, Upper East Side. The Catacomb beneath the sewers. It's a garden of remembrance set up three months back. Mr Scar-"
