I believe that was Tex mechanica

Ghost fragment city age 2 / What was that? / Nothing. We're secure.  / We'd better be. / Calm down. Whole district's been deserted ever since the Gap. Nobody's here.  / Except us. Why'd he make us come out here? / Secrecy. I don’t know. He's our man on the inside; so we humor him. It's just the quiet making you jump. Help me get this screen set up? / It feels criminal. / I got word from the Consensus says it's not.  / You know what I mean. Maybe it's not against any law. But it's messing with the Tower. It feels -  / Dangerous? / Wrong. / So go home. / Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you? You take the credit, get promoted to Division Head, I'm stuck -  / So stay. OK. Think it's working now. / Nothing on screen. Do we have a signal? / No. Sha - the contact said at 6 sharp. / Then he's late. If he dragged us out here for nothing -  / Yeah? What are you going to do to him, exactly? / Let's just -  / We have a signal! OK, here it comes. / Static. / There -  / That's not -  / You're not Sha -  / 99-40. Arcite. Are you Modris Wyndham and Sya Droysen, of the Tex Mechanica Foundry West District? / Yes -  / My owner has instructed me to give you the following message: I don't have time for lowlife dregs like you. You disgust me. / But -  / My owner has instructed me to continue: Sit down and let the frame talk. I know your type. City bigshots. You can show some damn -  / Listen -  / respect. Now listen. I got your message. The answer is no. I'm -  / But -  / not going to fix Crucible fights for you idiots just to make your Tex Mechanica junk look good. Do you -  / Now I wouldn't put it quite like that -  / think you're the first dregs dumb enough to try to buy me? Why do you people think you can buy me? Don't I have an honest face? Do I look like I need your money? The Crucible is sacred, that's what you people don't understand, like you think it's a game. Now -  / Damn. / this is the part where you start blustering at my little buddy here and telling him it's all legal down in the City, just business, just sponsorship. So listen: I can have ten Titans crashing through your ceiling any time I like and you can tell them it's just business. / Damn. / Or we can talk about how you're going to make this up to me.  / Ah. / My little buddy's listening. Make him an offer.

Isn't consunuss or whatever the big bad leader of gaul or is this different?

Different, methinks. Ghaul's boss is the Consul, the City is (or was) led by the Consensus.

Ooo ok thanks. So then would the.... Speaker be the conssness-thingy?

Don't think so, it's probably their version of the Senate/Congress except they actually get stuff done because if they don't society will collapse.

Yeah that's the one. Maybe Shaxx ran them into the ground and that's why they aren't making mainstream guns now? Or did some other catastrophe befall them?

They make more civilian weapons i think or are just lazy

This might actually explain the Chaperone quest. They tried to go through Shaxx, but got screwed, so they contacted Holiday about doing a promotion to recreate a "famous" shotgun from her history, knowing she's in well with the Guardians. To that extent, the goal is to win favor with Tex Mechanica by using the Last Word, but really... Is that not just advertisement for them anyway? Especially considering how the rest of the quest goes.
