Pria was a bit surprised by her answer, and wasn't sure if Hall was afraid, or simply didn't made the connection.

Are you sure you wanna play this by the book? The point of the whole thing is to speed the process up, with less paperwork, and several added benefits.

Oh, you've misunderstood! It dawned on Pria. I don't talk about ships and weapons, those are easy to come by. I'm thinking along the lines of communications equipment, water treatment, food rations, prefab barracks, hell even house printers! All sitting on shelf, ready to be used.

After finishing, she handled the paper to Elizabeth, among with a serious look.

These are the Depots and warehouses we're looking for. Get me unrestricted access for them, and I'll start the deliveries as soon as I can. Believe me, this is the faster way to do it. Hell, you might get a reputation for being able to get things done.

An expected reaction. Pria counted on this possibility, and if she didn't manage to convince Elizabeth, She had her ways.

Gotta ask. Forgive the intrusion 'bout it, and all that. Are you just endlessly teasin' him, or sometimes he gets a reward? She let a sly smile on her face. Don't worry, been there, done that. winked

Ignoring Pria, Elizabeth casually started sending her call. "Hello, hello, can you hear me? Anyone? Edmund? Victor? Hello? Elizabeth here, I need your input with something." She did not think of how "input" could be interpreted out of context.
