Before heading to the southwest plaza, I detour to the central Oathmark of Azure Prime.
Richard's contract has been sitting in my inventory, signed by both Diver Marks since the night he agreed to run the factory. Between the move, the training, and the unwanted visits, I've put off the registration for too long.
I press the contract against the crystal at the monument's base.
The runes read the clauses, recognize our marks, and sort the roles.
[CONTRACT REGISTRATION COMPLETE]

[GUILD POSITION: COMMON MEMBER]
[PROFESSIONAL ROLE: LDP FACTORY MANAGER]
[ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY: NONE]
Good.
Richard runs the factory, the workers, and production. That doesn't hand him the guild's internal contracts, the vault, or the founders' decisions. Professional power and guild authority are different animals. Mixing them is an efficient way to wake up one day with no money and half your staff giving orders to the other half.
