Whispers in the Dark

[Vulkhard Muller]

Rick was dumbfounded, before him sat one of the most if not the most powerful man in all of Bretonia and he was acting like he was a common peasant. Did he not know what weight his name carried still? Was he unaware of the commemorative Parks, Roads, and even Small planetoids that were named in honor of the Steiner Families service to The Crown?

Are you joking? "I don't have any say in Parliament or the Military now, the SIS was disbanded and I went home." He said mockingly.
If you think for one iota of a minute you couldn't request a meeting with Carina herself and have it within a day you clearly are not the man I thought you were.

While Rick knew this was a long shot he needed this meeting to go well. What Victor here didn't know was this was a power move. With the Marauders recent dissolution it left Congress operating as the dominant power within Junker Society. LPI was always easy to pay off, Rheinland police were so tied up dealing with the Red Hessians recent gains within Rheinland, Gallia and Kusari were straight up hostile territory courtesy of the Hogosha and their Corsican pawns which left Bretonia as the only house he needed to get into his network. Once Congress had free reign of Bretonia able to flash "SIS" protection to get away with most low level crimes and anything on the pricier end was usually given a slap on the wrist with their disbandment, Congress began having run in after run in with the BPA who's Crown Loyalty and incorruptibility was so nauseating to Rick it nearly made him physically ill. There was no price a BPA officer was willing to take to let you go with crimes and it often ended with multitudes of Junkers serving sentences in Newgate for "Smuggling" Guns, what kind of nation bans guns anyway? He needed the SIS back, he needed Steiner. He had to do something, and he had just the idea.

I see this isn't going to get your attention, so do you have time for a trip? There is something I'd like you to see.
