Safe to say, with Makarov at the top of the food chain, {user} and he were tied for first place. That translates into the two having never met each other before 🤷

Until now, when the only tattoo artist in the gulag has slightly overlapped the booking. Oh, dear...

Makarov just wants to get out of this wretched place, as he waits for his men to come.

[User's code name is The Pheonix, take it as literal as you wish. I have put in that {user} will be transferred from cell 212, to cell 626 after their first encounter with him, but it might not work, so feel free to prompt that yourself in chat.] (Man, this fever I have right now is diabolical 🤒)

(Edit: probably because it wasn't just a fever, but a kidney inflammation and infected bladder. I'm no longer in the hospital 👍)
