Ok. Please ensure Dillon's safety. Lawrence is hyperventilating since he is extremely concerned for the safety of him. The're probably close.

Dendric told me of your offer. I am forever indebted to you. My people will likely worship you. I would like to work on research first, if that is all right. Attached is a list of what we will be working on, research wise. We will message you when we start working on one of the research topics. I would be grateful if you would too.

Scope Add-on (10 days) :
All single shot rifles of any sort now have a high powered scope that helps increase accuracy during combat.

Sight adaption/hand eye coordination training (20 days) :
All units, including hired units, now have much better eye sight and and hand eye coordination. Making them more accurate with all attack and better adept to handle melee combat, giving them a slight advantage over other units who also rely on melee.

Night/Heat vision adaption (20 days) :
All units have natural night vision, making them much better fighters in dark areas, even with 0% light. They can also lock onto infantry units, even through fog or other obstruction, due to the heat they give off.

Strength/Combat training (20 days):
All units have increased strength in all scenarios they can now deal additional damage in melee combat and carry more. They can also carry two weapons at once.

Speed/Endurance/Agility Training (30 days) :
Increases the speed of all units greatly. Units will also be able to do exhausting activities for much longer, and can dodge obstacles and turn quickly with more skill.

Defense/Hardening training (20 days) :
Units have hardened senses and can withstand pain better. Their skin and other natural defenses are much more effective. They also know how to dodge and block attacks with more skill, making them last longer in battle.

Lawrence will stay for a day or two. He wants to talk to Dillon and play Chess with that guy who competed in the Olympiks.

Thank you for making our pie for us!

For the research, here's what I want:

Shot Leading Tactics (Improves damage and accuracy with all ranged weapons)
The Way of the Assassins (Increased stealth and damage)
Evasive Doctrine [Units are in better position to evade attacks reducing casualties from AOE attacks as well as better able to dodge in general.]
Research Mobility Doctrine [Unit's are faster in general.]
Enhanced Frontline Combat Tactics (Increases defense and hand to hand combat.)
Enhanced Explosions Research (all bombs do more damage)
Defense Hardening Training (Units have a higher pain tolerance. Their natural defenses are enhanced, and they are better at blocking and deflecting blows.)
Research Blast Mechanics (Makes berry blasts more controlled, less losses from friendly fire. Also helps predict when the bomb is going to explode.)

Yeah, that's a lot, but I have something that might shave off a lot of the price. I will always protect you from anybody that attacks you, and I will have Rick give you free catering for 50 days. So, with those conditions, what's the price?

I'm sorry, but I can't give you HF Rocket Metal. What else can I give you?

(You get regular, item donuts that do nothing except maybe add some sort of flavor text or possibly have a small plot reason. No combat capabilities at all. Well, you might be able to have Rick make a donut with a spray power, but that's it.)
