[Alucard doesn't trust any of the powers that be. The best, the best they have now is that the summons are random. It avoids pointed selection towards whatever end may be thought of.]

If I know anything in advance, I'll try to communicate it. The Free Cities being as large as they are makes it harder to anticipate such things, unless one is deeply involved in various goings on.

[Alucard has made himself peripheral at best. He isn't suited for politics. Best to let him play around with buildings instead.] Thank you.
