Evrart Claire: "I'm always happy to educate and entertain you, my friend." He takes a sip from his coffee. "So, what's on your mind?"

Evrart Claire: "The golden boy returns once more! Wonderful -- simply wonderful, Harry." He claps his hands together like a child who's just been offered cotton candy. "Of course, I already knew this."

Evrart Claire: "Wild stuff, Harry. Absolutely *wild*. I'm not judging you. We all have our dark days. What matters is: Union men are gonna help you fix this." He smiles. "Anyway..."

Evrart Claire: "...the neighbours of this old woman contacted my men, because they trust me and the Débardeurs Union. Apparently she was waving it around at the entrance to her building."

Perception (Hearing): Oops... yes, the noise would do the trick. It'll be terrible.

Evrart Claire: "And when they do..." He holds out his index finger. "They will have a *good* place to go. I'm currently working on renovating the buildings near the roundabout into affordable *workers palaces*."
5->143

You: "Wait, but -- will you erect a statue to yourself?"
259
Evrart Claire: "I'm not a *symbolist*, Harry. I'm a realist. My statue will be Martinaise rebuilt: five story building complexes, workers on welfare and landowners in Ozonne *hating* me. That will be my statue -- *and* yours. We're doing this together."
6->259

You: "I knew you were up to something."
61
Evrart Claire: "Damn right I'm up to something, Harry!" The fist lands on the table again. "I'm gonna make the working man as rich as *Joyce Messier*. That's my job. Just like yours is to keep the peace."

The wheels are turning, Harry. The wheels of progress. This post-war limbo -- I won't stand for it. There are kids practically playing with their own *faeces* out there... It cannot go on."

Evrart Claire: "Oh, you mean what sort of *goods* are gonna be flowing through? How am I gonna replace all the contacts we'll lose once the poo-poo hits the fan? The clients who'll ditch us? Harry, we've thought of everything."

Evrart Claire: "The company thinks transporting these chemicals in bulk 'looks bad,'" he makes air quotes, "'has bad optics,' 'may be illegal in some countries.' The Débardeurs' Union, however... we're all about the large volume column."
197
Encyclopedia: In bulk shipping, *large volume column* is a major buyer. A shark.

Evrart Claire: "I'm an old-fashioned guy, Mr. Kitsuragi. I sometimes grab a beer with the boys, but I have no idea about the things you just mentioned." He smiles.

41->94
255
Evrart Claire: "The more they send, the worse it's going to look for them. They made a *huge* mistake hiring those guys. *No one* likes foreign mercenaries. The leftists hate them, the fascists hate them, even the moralists think they're *in bad taste*."
42->255

You: "Can I ask you about specific union members?"
