Dear Percival Clarke, Word reaches our shores of your current most horrible predicament. As promised, we will not get into the market of selling pharmaceuticals, however we believe we may have a way of quickly despatching the Unwell if areas become unsaveable... See attached an image of such a device, in return we would like more canned pineapples, as I've run out. Your friend, Garend Marston  |

To the Right Honerable Garend Marston
Greetings. My name is Trevor Lucas, and as a matter of military means, Minister Clarke has handed off your notice to me. While extraordinarily intriguing, the unfortunate nature of this current situation is that multiple, automatic weapons would be necessary instead of a single piece of artillery. Perhaps by replacing the single cannon with numerous cars with attached machine guns, a somewhat mobile means of suppression along rail lines could be constructed.
However the tactical flexibility of this weapon system would be rather low. Some matter of trackless machine would be ideal, but no automobile engine is as of yet robust enough to carry guns, ammunition, or armor of sufficient mass to the front. This will be a weapon of the future.
In the interim, any shipment of firearms would be most appreciated. We will of course exchange in the fair Dunwikki fasion.
-Minister Of War, Trevor Lucas.
The note comes with an exquisite cavalry saber, with a hilt of ivory and a razor-sharp edge.

With these requests in place, railway carriages were built with as many Maxim guns as possible provide the most mobile firepower to the Dunwikki effort. Lansdown Automotive was also tasked with working on eventually producing an answer to the second request, even if it would not be in time for this crisis. In the meantime, Maxim guns, Model 1194 rifles and semi-automatic pistols were sent to Dunwik to assist in dealing with the situation, and a gift too, that of a gold plated Bental-Fletcher Revolver, with a handle made of ebony and engraved in silver the cog and nail of Dunwik. |

There is a response a couple of days later.
"Your gifts are most appreciated. I hope that our friendship, both as nations and as men, continues.
-Trevor Lucas."
The note would in typical Dunwikki fashion come attached with a gift: Some matter of board game for four to eight men ("Or that more intelligent sort of woman who enjoys the activity of men" according to the rulebook) revolving around establishing a monopoly over rail lines. Although somewhat awkward to learn (and the rules not only allow but suggest bribing people in real life to win) it is an enjoyable experience all the same.

"The game you have sent was much enjoyed by the Aldermen and my Fellow mayors, as you have gifted us with your afternoon entertainment, see in the box all you need for ours" - Garend Marston Inside the Box was an egg shaped ball, some sporting clothing and a several page document labelled "The Sporting code of the most fine game of Rugby Football as set out by the Guild of Rugbymen" The game in true sheenish fashion is likely far overcomplicated and far less dangerous than it's Tholish counterpart, but does include incredibly graphic illustrations of how to properly tackle a man. |
