By the way, I ran into a friend of mine from Colesville on Manhattan who is trying to get into the shipping business. He's looking for a sponsor to get him started, and he's very talented...I say we grab him before someone else does. We pay for a train, he agrees to work for the navy either directly or as a contractor through someone like Universal. Let me know, and I'll get you in touch with him.
Also, I overheard some interesting information in Manhattan. The Hellfire Legion is actively recruiting pirates to help with their so-called "Crusade," and yesterday funds were transferred to start construction on a ship called "PlanetKiller." Combined with the chatter we've all overheard about a possible "test" conducted on California Minor, I think we need to be extremely wary indeed.
