Joyce Messier: "I wasn't the original negotiator here. I took over after Mr. Gaumont hit a wall with Mr. Claire, the Union boss. Mr. Claire refused to speak with Gaumont, despite *concessions* he'd granted the Union in prior negotiations."

Joyce Messier: "I believe the official title is Senior Labour Negotiator. In practice I'm a grocery clerk. I relay the Union's demands to Wild Pines, and return with Wild Pines' counter-offer..."

Joyce Messier: "It's quite simple, you see. Every time the Wild Pines Group makes a decision -- about, what? About *anything* really -- it needs the signature of *each* of the 2,200 workers in its Martinaise terminal."
593
Joyce Messier: "Just so you understand, this is but one of *twenty-two* terminals owned by Wild Pines. Essentially -- not only are they *kings* of the company, they are also kings of the 72,000 employees of Wild Pines Group."
36->593

Joyce Messier: "Yes, past a certain point numbers begin to seem *imaginary*. But they are quite real for the 72,000 employees who depend on Wild Pines for their pay checks..."
"I was not trying to impress you, I swear. The conglomerate employs 72,000 people, wages cover most of the revenue..." A wave hits the sloop, she looks at it indifferently.
598
Joyce Messier: "A conglomerate the size of Wild Pines is like a shark -- if it stops moving and growing it will die. Then what becomes of those 72,000 families? It is a tremendous responsibility."
38->598

Joyce Messier: "We built this district," she says, calmly.
1376
Rhetoric: *We* -- there it is. She owns up to it.

Joyce Messier: "It's how they circumvent the term limits, you see. With a funny little *switcharoo*. While in office they've embezzled god knows *how* much of their workers' dues."

You: "What about the Union itself, outside the brothers Claire?"
41->271
1451
You: "Let's take this back to the strike."
41->1451
42
You: "That's Evrart, alright."
768
Joyce Messier: "He is the most corrupt individual I have ever seen. And I deal with men like him for a living. If there is anyone more venal, more irredeemably nepotistic -- then it's his twin brother, Edgar."
42->768

Joyce Messier: "Organized labour at its best, as they say. Then something happened in the local chapter elections. The Brothers Claire came and transformed it into a... how do you say?" She hesitates, looking for the right expression.

You: "I don't remember *anything* except this lynching. There is only this coast -- and this lynching."

47->1487
48
Logic: She wants you to help her gain leverage to re-start negotiations with the Union.

Joyce Messier: "The company has tried looking into this matter before -- to no avail. Perhaps someone with *your* authority and resources might turn over the right stones?"

Joyce Messier: "Of course, detectives," she says, her tone more cautious suddenly. "In any case, you've held up your end of our arrangement. I trust you with the rest. Now it's my turn..."

Encyclopedia: The Republic of Vesper, formerly the Republic of Vesper-Messina, was once a dual kingdom. An amicable parting of ways produced two constitutional monarchies. Vesper, the richer of the two, is an Occidental nation known for its proximity to the pale and its exotic financial derivatives.
