And Just Like That Money From the Sky

Wars were great for business. Trezlan didn't supply armies directly, didn't have the infrastructure nor the firepower to directly arm a side. But Armies weren't the only people buying in a war, or at least not government armies. Plenty of smaller private security firms were looking for the best they could get, or to replenish stocks in case they were needed. In the wake of the new conflict Trezlan was extremely busy. He had to close his store front to just deal with all the extra orders he had coming in. It was remarkable, he was in danger of running out weapons something he didn't think was possible.

The conflict itself was worrying of course. Their were rumors of a second red war; which Trezlan did not believe because the first one was the last one as it were, a second one would be a catastrophic event that could not possibly have been repeated. This just was some kind of new conflict involving a nebulous force of awful slowly taking over the galaxy. Completely different from the red war which was a force of souls freed from their awful afterlife trying to take over the galaxy.

Trezlan was a bit concerned about Rolando though, he was apparently in the middle of the conflict area and no one had gotten word if he'd survived or not. Which was as a father something that worried him, if only because Rolando was important for what was to come, though Trezlan surmised the galaxy would have to survive for that to be an issue in the first place. Still business was good while it lasted, he hoped he lived long enough to spend the money.
