Bonjour monsieur d'Autoine

A pleasure to speak with you once again. It has been sometime, no? It seems I have need of you this time. As promised, my deal with you will remain. As I am sure your deal with me remains.

A few questions monsieur. Have you ever been involved with the planning of wars? Ever made the deals that began the slow but sure roll of the snowball that escalates into an unstoppable force? Lastly, but most important... how do you feel about supplying the machine that will culminate in hostility and perhaps war?

Keep in mind of course, you shall remain secret and your dealings discrete. If this is something the Commonwealth has no issue with, contact me here to let me know you are onboard, and the details shall be sent to you shortly thereafter. As always, this transmission is to be kept confidential monsieur.

People rise and fall daily, and fade into memory. It is the actions and path we leave behind that will entomb our names in history. Will you be a part?

Au revoir mes amis

Bonsoir, madame Jeanne. Indeed, it's been a long time since we last met.

Your proposition is incroyable, I have to admit. One must take in mind the consequences it would shape. Still, my curiosity is tingled, I would really like to hear more about this errand of yours personally, if that would be possible.

I must also compliment you for learning and abiding to our policies. I believe you have proved a reliable and trusted contact for the Commonwealth, and I dare say that we have also been the same to you.

But, since you have learned our policy, especially about our need for secrecy, I guess I still need to tell you, madame, that no one shall find the Commonwealth being part in this intrigue of yours, if you know what I mean, heh heh.

I am looking forward to be seeing you.

Divitiae et Unitas
