20th August - Silken Milk - Steamworks - Afternoon

Josiah turned slowly as Westley said his piece. For just one moment he considered giving the order to open fire just to see the simpering do-gooder riddled with bullets. His took a deep breath as his better sense kicked in as he saw the reaction of the crowd. Perhaps something could be salvaged out of this. He forced a smile and gestured for the troops to stand down.

There was a collective sigh of relief in the yard, and Josiah took a long moment to take th measure of the crowd.

"Your new employer has spoken and the city has listened."

He stepped up close to Westley and shook his hand. "My offices tomorrow morning Mr Corbet. Tidy this mess up and hope that the rest of Steamworks does not become agitated by your... generosity."

"Can we lose the war machine sir?" Westley asked with a wry smile.

Josiah grimaced and turned to face the Militia captain. He gave a nod and the man ordered the withdrawal. The tank roared into life and began to turn.

"Tomorrow morning, my office Mr Corbet. Welcome to the game."
