Above all, I wish you a lot of  Chance luck with the coming times.

Now, the actual thingy: from what I remember reading about Hankvi+Issus, I'd sooner expect the joining to happen after Chariel's birth (and likely after getting sacked from I&Q), though that's simply my  un logic. As far as I'm concerned, Delinius would likely offer Hankvi a fairly 'easy-going' position that involves overseeing the maintenance workers or some other position that, while important, doesn't require a massive amount of labour (considering Gamma Hankvi's lack of interest in hard work). As well, Delinius would be entirely fine if Hank happens to not be there suddenly every now and then. Or, as he'd possibly note himself:

HS FD7306 (Hankvi Guidza is not necessarily a troll of exceptional working ethics, but he is quite a valuable individual and has become my friend, along with his family. That this disposition, along with his family, means that he is on occasion absent from his work here is inevitable, quite obviously! And it matters not one bit, for his task is one that doesn't require a constant eye on the matter.)

If asked why he hired Hankvi in the first place: HS FD7306 (Hank is quite alright - people could learn the art of liberty from this Alternian quite well - and his love for adventure has my sympathy. Ah, what do I hear? I am sentimental, biased? Perhaps my personal thoughts have influenced it, yes, but not for worse.)

I've had an idea or two on the subject of "traitor" Hankvi, as well as the Alternian invasion, which might follow at some point. What I can tell on one of those ideas is that Sunrise Industries restructures itself to a hybrid manufacturer of both consumer appliances (its original function) and high-quality military equipment. Its workers, as far as any are Dwinian (coincidentally, that happens to be about a third of them), become a specialised unit within Ludus' military forces, headed by none other than the great Flamey Man himself. His mansion on the edge of the desert is not immediately lost to the Alternians thanks to his own efforts during that time, using a number of prototype weapons/pieces of equipment alongside copious amounts of pyromancy (oh, the Phlogistomantic Enforcer? Yep, originates from this timeline. How it ended up on the Delta timeline later is a mystery). Mass 'disappearification'/evacuation of the mansion is eventually necessary, performed by both Delinius and some of his (Dwinian) staff from Sunrise.
