Police attempt to clear the crowd, but by the time they are able to reach the man he is unconscious. One policeman attempts to perform cpr while another finds a physician, but there is little to be done. When the physician arrives, he believes it to be too late for the man, but continues to try to save the man by whatever means he can, and to ease his suffering when the outcome becomes inevitable.
Since neither Arcon nor the Caliphate seemed interested in building on Avalonia's development of a repeater rifle, work to improve it goes on unaided by foreign expertise.
Sorry, I missed the thing about the rifle. Arcon would gladly help. Arcon suggests Sonodine City as a center for development, since it is an accessible midpoint between all participating parties.
Arcon presses the Caliphate to join in.
The police, as they strip the man's outer cloak off of him in attempt to revive him find that he is wearing somewhat finer clothes and has a knife at his side of fine Arconian make. Upon seeing this, the people around them begin to draw nearer, and begin to harass the son a bit. He begins to cry out in realization that his father may not recover, but also because poorer members of the crowds are trying to press in on the younger foreigner. The younger man reaches inside his cloak, but does not draw his hand and shouts to the officers, "Police, please! Assistance!"
Arcon also asks for the right to produce the seige guns that Romekate and Arcon made jointly.
Arcon lowers the heightened tariffs imposed on Anglond, with intention to lift them once their economy recovers. A slightly heightened cotton tariff will be continued to protect the domestic cotton industry.
