An Unexpected Visitor and Offer

January 9, 882 in the continental calendar. A horse-drawn carriage was in the main gate of the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company. Inside the carriage was John Morgan and the other was a famous military general that participated in the United States of Avalonia Civil War, William Sherman.

"Morgan, are you sure that these two can provide me what I need for my army?" Sherman asked as he puffed a cigar. 

"You can trust me with this. The two gentlemen that we are about to meet are genius in their own right. In just two years their company became one of the fastest-rising companies in Avalonia. Invented a mechanical device that allows trains to stop in an instant using compressed air, cushion the forces of the train, and lastly, devised a signaling system that would allow for safe locomotive transportation."

"Yeah I know, I have read it myself. What I want to know is if they can make firearms. I didn't come here for an air brake," Sherman said.
