It was windy day in Chicago, Barney was standing in front of a new building smoking his cigar, before stepping out and throwing it to the ground. He cleared his throat then started to speak…

Hello friends and Mafioso…

I am sure you all are wondering why I am here and what's with new building in the city of Chicago. As you all know the heads of the five cities opened Chicago for all those who want the opportunity to wear that bold suit. So I came here today to tell you that I am seizing this opportunity and setting up as crew leader in Chicago, with Orion as my Right Hand.

For those who are wondering what are my plans once Chicago becomes my home I will tell you the same thing I told to Orion and Don Valmont… I am setting up in Chicago with the best intention to build Chicago like the many times in past it has been done by great leaders. I believe I won't be alone in Chicago, undoubtedly other fellow Mafioso will set up their own headquarters in Chicago, and I am looking forward to working with each of them. It won't be easy to build Chicago from the ground up, but I am sure if we all work together we can make Chicago great city, and I look forward to the challenges it will bring… To the future of Chicago!

He raises his hip flask in the air, and looks proudly at his new base of operations, before drinking with his well wishers…

Congrats you both. Glad to see good people, have a chance. Make Chicago proud!

Cas smiles.

It was with a heavy heart and an awful lot of lateral thinking that I decided to embark on my journey into Chicago. I say heavy heart simply because I very much enjoyed, every single minute I spent in New York, it has rapidly become an outstanding city, one that has taught me an awful lot and given me a new outlook on what I can offer this world and what this world can offer me. This was a decision I have been stewing on ever since it was announced, with back and forward conversations with many people and a change of mind every day, however I just decided to follow gut instinct and make my own way in Chicago.

Now, I am under absolutely no illusion's as to what situation I am and how difficult a task this potentially will be. Although I'm not over convinced that this will be the storm in the teacup bloodbath that a very high percentage of this world think it will be, simply because I feel as a community, for a lack of a better word, we have learnt lessons from the Vegas project, as it was lovingly known. Couple that with the strict regime that is in place to actually be granted access to the city by the current city heads, a practice that I hope will continue and reach the other fine cities, I feel we will get a good basis and core back bone of excellent members to build a fully functional city. Just because this isn't the most conventional mode of being granted an auth doesn't mean that city will be a shambles, I assure everyone here today, that we will uphold a strict and a very high standard of living in Chicago and it will not be a playground for those wanting to Run their respective crew because, well, they can.

With that being said we welcome all who wish to join this city to sit down around a table and understand each personal ideals, goals and how we ALL can achieve everything that we want from Chicago. Anyhow, I will have to leave it there, My crew leader needs his weekly sponge bath.
