That will be all.

Indeed, I have an update for you.

The bank wants to avoid volatility, and there was nothing more volatile than Aetia. It's fortunate that she seldom involved herself with Marki's work; that should make it easier for the Bririccas to see the upside in their investment.

One day, entrepreneurs like you and me won't be beholden to the whims of dusty old noble families in our ventures. Briricca, Vendicci, Hlaalu, Mondette... If we need an investment, we will visit a bank run by private capitalists hoping to make an honest profit, not some hand-picked cronies of the aristocracy. Yes, they're all playing on the same team. But for now, we play along.

The Bririccas are an ancient clan of Cyrodilic merchant princes. We are a massive, publicly traded charter company. On the face of things, it's odd we're asking them for a loan, but the reality is that thanks to the Emperor's favor, the Bririccas have more than enough power to play on our level. In another world, investment banking would be done by large corporations and colonialism by a handful of aristocrats or the state, but the Emperor simply decided things would go the other way in this one.

With my new Hlaalu deal, we should save so much in tolls that we won't need that loan any longer or will be able to invest it in even bigger, bolder projects.

You don't work for the Company anymore, %PCName. We can't talk about this.

So they've renewed the loan? It's good to know the Briricca report didn't go to waste.

This is good news, %PCName. Overshadowed by some very new, very bad news. What comes next might be your last assignment.

Ask Phedre Briricca at the Briricca Private Bank if she has an update for us.

We've asked the Briricca Private Bank for an extension on a loan. Go over to the local branch and ask Phedre Briricca if she has an answer for us.
