Alright fellows, gather round.
My name’s Edwin McTaggart, and I’m the one recruiting for the Union Blue, these days.
I guess you all know what this goddam railroad race’s about. But I’ll summarize it anyway, n’case you’ve been living in a cave these last few years.
It’s about getting all the way through the west to Lost Angels, and of course, arriving there before the competition does. It’s about setting a viable transporting railroad line for those ghost rocks. If we manage to do it first, we’ll get exclusives contracts. Wealth beyond your wildest dreams. And you’ll get more than your fair share of it, you can trust me on that.
And if you don’t trust me, which I would consider wisdom on your part, you can definitely trust the late Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the president of our proud company. That man was the most honorable straightforward son of a bitch I’d have the chance to serve under, I’m telling ya.
That’s what got him killed, for sure. He was too trusty, too kind. He lived by a code he was the last one to follow. If there was ever any other…
And he was a fool for love. I, for one, am convinced that this Mina Devlin cunt killed him. When I get my hands on her, I swear I’ll gut her like a fish…
But make no mistake about it, fellows, that bitch ain’t no easy prey. Neither is the rest of our competition, for that matter. They’re rich, they have manpower, weapons, technology, alliances…
And also darker powers.
Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. You’ve been chosen for just that reason. Because you know, and you’re able to do something about it.
See, the thing is we are losing this race. Chamberlain, may god have mercy on his soul, he didn’t want to fight dirty. No cheap shots. No nasty retaliation… No nothing. I admired him, but that man was driving me crazy, I swear on Jesus Christ.
Now that he’s gone, glove’s are off for us too. It’s time to bring hell to our enemies.
You’ll sometimes be tasked to protect our line, to help it movin’ on. But you’ll also be asked to execute sabotage missions, raids, thefts, acts of espionage… And probably assassinations too.
This job is highly dangerous, and I won’t lie to you about your chances of survival. They’re low. Won’t blame you if you get cold feet.
If some among you desperados still have a sense of patriotism, you should know that the higher stake of this folly is winning the war, plain and simple.
If the Union Blue can’t make it there first, your priority is to make sure those bastards from Dixie rails don’t either.
Hell, I’ve spoken enough. You have your orders. So get in that goddam train, and try to make a difference.
Ow, and… Be careful, out there. There are… Other… Things… Lurking in the night.
You Know.
