Intended Improvements Company's request for a loan is as follows:
As you may know, the Crown is not typically in the situation to loan money to private interests, however we can offer the following loan: 5 Guineas will be provided to IIC at a 5% monthly compound interest rate. This will cost 3 Favour, and not making a good faith effort to pay back the loan within one year will start costing additional favour.
Meanwhile, the craftsmen have started to work their way through some of the backlog of Sand owned by various arbitrage traders, causing the price to go up to
0.35 Guineas. Well timed too, for a set of sails is seen on the horizon. As they come closer, it is appears the ship has too many sails to be a standard vessel, but soon it starts to make sense.
It is actually two ships close together. The first is the 'Laden Swallow', with sails high and some very proud looking crew. Behind them, bound by what looks like part of an anchor chain, is 80% of the 'Repeat Visit'. A mast and part of the bow seems to have been misplaced however.
The crew however, seem to be mostly happy with things however, and are able to report a full cargo, despite the damage. The 'Repeat Visit' will need 3.5 Guinea repairs before it can go back out though.
Iron Mountain Ind., Mineral CO and Nagant Ventures each gain
+3 Sand.
Imaginary Productions, Unpleasant LLC, Yearvent Shipping, Ashford Core and RiverFort LTD gains

RiverFort LTD and Mineral CO have 40% of the vote for redirecting the Laden Swallow to Westonia, with 60% undecided.
