"Um, about the hole in the-" Agnes cut him off
"Candle fell on the TNT. What's the latest?"

"So, first off... The Grand Cocovia Railway has stalled out. It's over budget and over time. They're opening the project to other nations in a last ditch effort to complete it." Mordo summerized
"What!?! Other nations?" Agnes yelled "We built them a dock, right?"
"The dock doesn't really help to further the railroad. Anyways, the Sea Rats have-"
Agnes rose from her chair.

"No, we have to deal with this. Charter me a ship to Cocovia. You're in charge while I'm gone."
"But!"
"No Buts!"

A WEEK LATER
The Tavern by the tracks was where most of the railworkers spent their days. Traffic was busy in King's harbor, and the railroad was often delayed by passing carts.

Inside, workers happily chatted, ignoring their duty to the railroad. A Union had formed, and while contracts were negotiated, work would not be completed.

The door opened, and Agnes Mesabi walked in, flanked by Pete Zanzibar, and two yellow jacket soldiers.
Agnes fired her gun.

"Now which one of you is in charge of the union?" she yelled angrily

"That'd be me, miss, and you better watch yourself, because I know a few guys who could talk some sense into you. But I'm not the kind of man who starts fights." Said the Union leader

Agnes said nothing and walked over to the bar. "A bottle of your finest," she asked politely.

The Union leader began to walk back to the table. Agnes began to down the bottle.

Finishing it, she flipped it, turned and smacked the man on the back of the head. He fell with a groan.

"Gentlemen?" she asked. "Show this man how the WTC operates...."

The two yellow jackets began to punch and kick the man, while he cried in agony.
"The WTC will be helping to assure the project is finished." Said Agnes coldly. "And you can forget your union. We don't do unions."

She turned to the bartender. "Another of your finest." She said with a smile.
