Monsieur Ortega,

I would like to extend an apology on behalf of the Prince to you. My name is Doctor Cyril Belmont, but my friends call me Cyril, so please do so as well, non? Anywhom, the Prince doesn't have any need for the Outcasts, and he wishes me to make that particularly clear to you. As previously mentioned, our people are quite unfriendly towards each other and that's something that seems unlikely to change. At least for the foreseeable future. But you and I, oh you and I monsieur could definitely be quite friendly with each other. Almost useful in fact.

Cyril smiles.

You see, monsieur. I am a researcher, and I am in need of supplies that are quite hard for me to get a hold of through normal means. After all, I no longer have my connections to my previous sources of said supplies. Prior to the fall of the Kingdom, I was tasked by our fair King to look into the long term affects of cardamine. Of course this was only due to the sudden and rather dramatic introduction of the narcotic into our culture when our doors were blasted wide open by not only the Council, but the Royal Navy itself, and I was on the verge of a breakthrough when the Kingdom began collapsing around me. Being the personal doctor of the Royal Family... it was imperative that I fled to the Enclave's territories, had I stayed I would probably be hung by the usurpers for obviously false crimes.

Forgive my rambling, all of that is beside the point, and very unprofessional of me!

I essentially just wish to continue my research as sanctioned by the Kingdom itself, and from the information that I had obtained from the Gallic Royal Police prior to the fall, Outcasts dealt in two forms of trade. The first being your biggest source of income - Cardamine, the second being willing participants. I need access to both resources, and you have the means to make that a reality. Of course, all of this would be completely off the books, and with access to the royal coffers... I could easily see to it that our joint venture is handsomely rewarded here and there.

So what do you say, Monsieur Ortega? Would you like to help me make history?

Doctor Cyril Belmont
Royal Physician
