"I understand that... but she's in Luthori right now! I simply cannot act unless it comes from her approval"

"We have the intel, we can visibly see them on the way, Gerrard! We must get a direct line to her immediately!"

"Get me de la Bedoyere, quickly."

"Alo?"

"Royal Minister, this is Director Gerrard, IRSA. We must talk sir."

"Ah, Gerrard. What is wrong? It is early."

"Sir, the goddess has detected movement in Majatra. Based on intelligence we have gathered. The Mordusians have allowed Pontesi temporary access to its ports. We believe they may be heading to Istalia."

"Gya-- and the High Chancellor is she informed?

"We are trying to get ahold of her. She is in Fort William. A slap in the face if you will."

"Right, I want the Royal Strategic Command ready in 15 minutes. Send word to Saint Michel Vigile and to Atyr, this is a Canrillaise issue."

"Sir?"

"I NEED THE IMPERIAL COMMAND AS WELL, GERRARD!"

"Indeed, I will ensure the goddess remains vigilant. As for our fleets, which should we mobilize? The fifth in Alduria? The second in Keymon?"

"All of them Gerrard. All of them."

---------------------

"Alo?"

"Madame Chancellier, we have a problem."

"What's wrong commander?"

"We need a decision on your part"
