That could be tricky as William could be a potential competitor for Linda. But I like the idea too as it gives a great IC reason for Chrystal to impart to Mick all the world history and structure and problems there are with trafficking. William may not have come across similar situations in Ireland due to it being a non-slave state, so that makes it worth Chrystal taking some time to set out the facts for Mick which then also puts all of that into the game world for future players to use as canon material.<br/><br/>William may ruffle Linda's feathers or vice-versa but they could either agree a partnership or she could steer him into areas of trade that doesn't impinge of her turf, such as importing from other countries than the ones she uses.<br/><br/>Chrystal - there's also the 'special' scheme you and I discussed by PMs. That is NOT widely known about and is Lindas secret so she wouldn't willingly inform anyone about that.
