It's refreshing to find members of the army who sensibly back our esteemed princess,” he exclaims with an air of familiarity, extending his hand in greeting. “I'm Alexander Reed, current proprietor of Ferrovian Locomotive. What can I assist you with?”
You reciprocate the handshake then proceed to state your concerns: "I have a matter concerning my men’s equipment - specifically guns that we're in need of urgently; if possible could you recommend someone reliable for procurement?"
This solicitation earns another unsettling but seemingly jovial grin from Alexander: “Of course! I'm sure we could conveniently misplace a couple crates meant for marines or regular forces and redirect them towards your battalion instead; care to tell me specifications?” Eagerly, you pull out a small pad containing a list of weaponry required - submachine guns, light machine guns mortars, plus rifle grenades if possible.
Alexander takes a moment to fetch pipe from coat making you wait while he fills bowl leisurely before lighting it up replying thoughtfully after a few puffs:” Well Major; I believe I can fulfil about half this list gratis – consider it as contribution towards cause however remaining demand will come at cost. In lieu payment let’s agree on two conditions – firstly any valuable items recovered during missions would be split evenly between us and secondly you would owe me a favor which I may call apon at the time of my choosing”
