Rev. Pollos again enters the Carthago Nova and walks over to the table where he finds the SGG reps. He pulls a legal paper from his pocket and sets it on the table

Alastar Cain slowly enters the Carthago Nova and looks around. It had been a while. Spotting the familiar table, Cain approaches the Eutopian Congress of Labor and motions to a waiter.

"A round of drinks of these fine Eutopians." Cain says with a grin.

"May I Join you? You might have heard that I've returned, healthy once again. I'm curious to hear how my party has treated your fine organization. Hopefully as well as I had wanted it to?"
