With the lands in Southeast Asia becoming more scarce. Hanna has shifted her focus on developing the Republic's military in the name of self preservation. "Shadow knows how to put up a good facade" Hanna said speaking with Aerith "But I know better." Aerith, looking confused asked how the chancellor unraveled Shadow's motives. "His empire is built on a cult of personality with promises of prosperity to his human citizens when in the shadows, he secretly conducts his Furrycentric persecution against them. It's no different to what happened in the end days of the Old Republic" Hanna then ended her statement "We should remain prudent in their dealings with them. They've already have Siberia and Hawaii. It won't surprise me to learn that their human population started to mysteriously dwindle and catch the eye of the Enclave." As soon as the group reached the middle row of the assembled troops for the Chancellor's inspection, Secretary of State Johnson received a call "Madam Chancellor, we've received word that the The Tri Kingdoms have waged war against to the Dreamlanders." Hanna looked with bewilderment "A nation of elves are attacking the Dreamlanders." Then she thought for a moment "We need to find friends quickly and fast."
Hanna then decided to embark on a voyage to the The Greater Gulf Imperium aboard the
Rorikstead Super Battleship to forge an alliance between the two nations. Hanna kept her composure as she met with the delegates of the Gulf Imperium and keeping her personal feelings about the tapings of the Galactic Empire to herself. Both Hanna and Tifa met with Han Bin Solo, who is the Imperial Foreign Minister to the Imperium as they disembark the
Rorikstead. "Ahh, hello Chancellor of Coruscant, how can we help you?" Han Bin Solo said just as Hanna and Tifa step off the boarding plank "The situation in the China region as well as the Empire of the Rising Quill has made me concerned about the region" Hanna said. Hanna unfurls a document that she kept in her pocket "Just recently, we learned that the Tri Kingdoms have attacked the Dreamlanders. To that..." Hanna puts down the note "...we'd like to propose a defensive military alliance to better preserve both of our nations." Hanna signals Tifa to pass the official document to Han Bin Solo "I'll be sure to let our leader know about your proposal and will quickly get back to you." Solo said as Tifa passes the document to him. Both Tifa and Hanna walked back up the gangway into the
Rorikstead as it heads back to the ocean.
The
Rorikstead flies above the ocean bypassing the newly conquered lands of Hawaii. Hanna and Tifa, from the bridge of the
Rorikstead, see the flag of the Empire of the Rising Quill flailing away in the Pacific wind. "God may he watch over the human population there, there going to need it once Shadow starts his anti-Human eugenics against them." Hanna said with a sad and remorseful look on her face. Hanna, with her binoculars, looked at the beaches and noticed the beaches were void of humans enjoying the surf. Only the sight of hedgehogs and a few echidnas. Hanna, clenched her fist and turned away from the windows "Get us out of here, full speed" Hanna ordered the captain "It just brings back old memories of when the Empire persecuted their opposition."
The
Rorikstead docked at the Enclave Oil Rig. From the bridge, Hanna notices a bunch of power armored soldiers assembling their ranks. "I guess were not the only one with power armor issued to troops" Hanna said to Tifa. Hanna and Tifa disembarked from the
Rorikstead onto the Enclave Oil Rig's docks. General Warfield approached the group "I never expected to have a visit from the Republic of Coruscanti, what brings you to our oil rig." Hanna, postures herself and explains the situation that was of most concern of her, the Empire of the Rising Quill "The Republic has been very concerned with the internal affairs of the Rising Quill. Their Furrycentric policies against humans is quite unsettling." General Warfield puts his hands onto his chin as Hanna continues "Just recently we passed by the islands of Hawaii and noticed the Rising Quill has just settled in there." Hanna takes a deep breath "However, the island is devoid of humans. Initially our scout ships detected that there were human life on that island in the form of small settlements. Now it's just filled with Hedgehogs." The General's brow grew into a frown "So they're making encroachments into the lands belonging to the Enclave!" the General looked to the sea "No doubt they're using some sort of biological agent to chemically neuter the human population." The General puffed up his chest "No matter, we have an ace in our sleave that will bring these god awful furries to their knees!" The general then looks at Hanna and asks her "And your population is baseline human?" Hanna, with no delay "Of course, we safely came from the Republic's colony on Ganymede. Far away from any mutigenic hazards." The general broke into a smile "Then you have no need to worry about our ace in the deck." The general thought for a moment "I'll speak with my superiors about the situation about the Empire of the Rising Quill and well get back to you." Hanna and Tifa bows to the general and gave him their thanks and return back to the
Rorikstead.
The
Rorikstead sailed passed the Cape of Good hope and to Free Commieland. "Why are we heading to Free Commieland?" Tifa asked in confusion. "We've gotten a message from them on an offer on a trade deal. Given the situation at hand with the Dreamlanders about to get pummeled by the Tri Kingdoms, it's prudent that we negotiate a deal with them." The
Rorikstead docked into one of the ports of Free Commieland where they met with Comrade Clothilde Emilie. With a smile on his face Comrade Emilie said "It's good that you could come in such short notice." Hanna, as she disembarks the
Rorikstead said to him "Well, you did caught me while I was doing my diplomatic run in the Pacific and the Middle East." Tifa then interrupts "About that trade deal you offered" Comrade Emilie enthusiastically said "Ahh yes, given that our last trade partner has gone up and cut us out. We'd figure to trade with you." Hanna, looking at a photo of troops at the Dreamland-Tri Kingdoms border, said "Given the situation at hand, I find that it's
Prudent to accept the deal and have it go into effect in the event the Dreamlanders fall to the Tri Kingdoms." Tifa then continues "I hope, if the great game manager of this thread would accept that, if not then we'd have to cancel the Trade with the Dreamlanders." Hanna, looked at Tifa with shock "Tifa! Did you just broke the fourth wall?!" Tifa simply blushed. Then the group had a hearty laugh and Tifa and Hanna borded the
Rorikstead back home.
