Spudkirk has been bustling with Corrington's soldiers. The docks, winding streets, and plateau at the top of the town are buzzing with redcoats, the soldiers eagerly awaiting orders. Meanwhile, the now Major, Lord Spud has been given command to Marshal the troops, which he has taken most seriously. Spudkirk knows first hand what the Lotii are capable of, and so the soldiers have been put through all manner of drills and exercises. Lord Spud speaks to two of the Third Regiment of Foot Guards, accompanied by a soldier of the 42nd Foot, the "Block Watch".
