”And Crone?” Aldrich , frail old forure out her decision” Gerard got up and put a hand on her back and then shook his head “No wait, she’s just sleeping I’ll go ahead and fill her in on the details later, but for now, thiswith most of us, Mr Vane, and I hope you can actually deliver on what you proret it,” said Aldrich
”And this is where we are staying” Casiestured behind hiether to create one surprisingly spacious base
Also, ‘ what these were They had the sa basically houses on wheels, but they were fitted with enough ar and mounted turrets that it was easier to call them ‘mobile bunkers’ instead
”You had all this in reserve?” said Aldrich
”The nomads kept it maintained for me For no small price, of course, but it has served as quite the comfortable escape on many a rainy day,” said Casied, correct?”
Casi shock “Mister Vane, goodness gracious me, you would expect me to have fallen to such a sure you didn’t have any otiations” Aldrich was not accusing Casi, he was just curious why Casimir withheld soh had voiced public support to Aldrich and the fact that the Dark Six had already abandoned the noize, but you cannot blarants ht decision in backing you, Mr Vane,” said Casiured as much It was a test then, hm?” said Aldrich

”I did wonder about that When I first hired those men and women of mine, I told them I needed their service to rise to the top of the underworld
Most of the but wanting so much They wanted credits and safety but most of all, I came to realize, they wanted a vision
They wanted a dream they could look forward to and believe in They wanted the freedo
