Alasdair's parents approved and provided 25 kg of local semiprecious stones to pay for the lad's passage. During the trip, Publius and Alasdair had long talks and it was decided he was likely best suited to be a soldier.  Publius made landfall on {{World|Rannow|Old Expanses|Rusco|2603}}.  Using a local contact, Publius sold the stones for Cr 3750 to Sir Thomas, the [[Knight]] overseeing the world's governance.  He then brought Alasdair to the [[Imperial Navy]] base and saw him properly enlisted in the [[Imperial Army|Army]], giving the new recruit Cr 500 as a nest egg.
