<string
id="backstory_a.spc_wanderer_empire_0"
text="{=3yK4uXyt}I'm an engineer. Most of us learned our trade and got our contacts through the army. It was a good system: it was the emperor's money, so the emperor's servants kept a close eye on us. But as everyone knows, the emperor ran out of money. The lords are in charge of fortifications now, and all they have to go on is the say-so of other engineers." />
<string

text="{=OYOwasMe}You can imagine - it's a bit of a racket. People build arches that fall down, and his colleagues go on recommending him because he's someone's brother or old apprentice. The greatest sin in our brotherhood is criticizing the work of other engineers. " />
<string
id="backstory_c.spc_wanderer_empire_0"
text="{=JfTTbPag}Well, I don't play that game. If something's going to fall down and kill someone, I'll point that out. So, naturally, all my 'brothers' cut me out of contracts." />

<string

text="{=oXnqNsvz}A man of integrity, or simply one who backbites his peers? I have no idea, and wouldn't want to take the risk of hiring you." />
<string
id="backstory_d.spc_wanderer_empire_0"
text="{=b1sCl4SI}So, anyway, I am forced to spend my time in taverns, taking whatever work can be found. I can oversee the building of most structures, or, if the need is there, I am also adept at knocking them down with catapults, rams, and mines." />
<string
id="generic_backstory.spc_wanderer_empire_0"
text="{=RZizPvaI}I'm an engineer, with imperial army training. I'm sure by now you've met a few of us around, and know a bit about what we can do." />
