I am amused that this myth of me not having economic ability is floating around. (OOC: Mak has "smart" and "budding bueruacrat". )

There are many ways to gain and lose money. Savvas and I simply happen to disagree on some of them.

But to answer your question Lisas, I do have a plan. I will catalouge all of our mercenaries, research where I can recruit professional replacements, and then offer the owners of the mercenaries a choice.

They can either accept the cheaper professional replacements or explain to the whole Senate why they need expensive mercenaries.
