Bloody Monday

Reyneke Trossingen was a General in the ranks of the Austrian Royal Army, and he was not the greatest example of a field commander. His skills were much better set to task on managing logistics than it was strategy and tactics. It was because of this that the Crown had entrusted him to look after the warehouses which housed the various weapons of the Austrian Army. 

Of course, when being in such a comfy position for so long, corruption was unavoidable. When one officer approached him roughly a year ago with the proposition to sell decommissioned arms to the black market, he was initially hesitant.

After all, the Crown was very strict on organized crime. However, he also had thousands of old firearms lying around that were no longer in service and were kept as a strategic reserve. Surely if a few dozen of the guns went missing, nobody would notice, right?
