Mr.Blue: You know, you’re pretty good! I didn’t even hear you break in
Miss Aqua: My salary wouldn’t be so large if it were otherwise Mr.Blue

Mr.Blue: Hehe, good point! Now tell me, what did you find?

Miss Aqua: Well, I followed your instructions and found the best candidate

Miss Aqua: Her name is Sindy Tlus, one half of an identical twin that have lived together ever since their parents passed away. She's a local, traveled once to Al Simhara, but other than that she mostly stuck around here

Mr.Blue: So far so good, what else do you have?

Miss Aqua: Well, for her occupation, it is Vegetable Slicer at a local diner, but her true ambition is to be a painter. As for her personal life, a long list of boyfriends and casual dates, but nothing too serious

Miss Aqua: This flash drive has everything you will need, all the details, records and evidence -

Miss Aqua: and I tossed in a few extras, I think you will find them helpful. They're on the house, just because its for my Mr.Blue!

Mr.Blue: Your generosity has been noted!
Miss Aqua: Just my generosity?
Mr.Blue: Hehe, no of course not just that! Your hard-work has been noted too!

Mr.Blue: We'll keep in touch for future assignments, but for now I think I have a guest walking through the door in seconds -

Miss Aqua: and discretion is required, I know Mr.Blue! I'll, be a ghost, it's what I'm good at - I just wonder when you will stop talking to me so formally and just be normal, and I'll probably keep wondering

Mr.Blue: As punctual as a rooster singing at daybreak! How are you Sonia?

Miss Cristay: I'm good Mr.Blue, how about you?
Mr.Blue: The same. Let's get to work, shall we?


Mr.Blue: So tell me, what do you think our prospects are here?

Miss Cristay: Well, the town gets all of it's vegetable produce from other farming communities, although they do have fertile land! So a very probable investment is agriculture

Miss Cristay: Yet on the industrial front, this town is pretty much a dead end

Mr.Blue: I choose not to believe that! There might not be something on the surface, but I'm sure we can dig up some industrial opportunity here. Nonetheless, the agriculture idea would be profitable and employ many locals, great idea!

Mr.Blue: And another thing: Gerard told me that he read in the newspaper about the town's burnt down theater. Apparently this town lacks a fire station and when a small fire started in the theater, it turned into disaster

Miss Cristay: Ah yes, I heard about that! We could buy the land and rebuild the theater!

Mr.Blue: You're right, but you're also wrong. The first thing we need to do is to build a fire station as a gift to the town

Miss Cristay: A gift? But Mr.Blue, we don't need to give it away!? We can loan the town the money!

Mr.Blue: We can, but we won't! If this town could handle the costs of a fire station, they would have built it already. Also, giving it away will have a bigger impact on the local population, they will feel someone is taking care of them, and they will learn to trust us! Winning over the local population is critical to open up opportunities for us in this town

Miss Cristay: Oh I see, this is an investement: a small construction project, a fire truck and an opening ceremony tagged with Blue Phoenix Corporations and Industries will pay-off in positive local opinion, and if we have that -

Mr.Blue: we can do whatever we want ... whatever I want!
