The proximal streets had been closed off & secured. Inside Foreign Minister Fernando Torres awaited the arrival of Ms. Harris, the elected Natalian representative for this soiree. He received a priority phone call.

"Yes? .....Yes I understand. Never. Thank you Your Majesty."

Emilia Harris hated her posting. The Justosians were too hot-headed and too heated up, always ready to start a fight and an argument, so this made her hate her job in Avalon with passion. Now, with this invitation things just went from bad to worse for her. She hoped that the Lord Protector will come, but the recent news fell like a hammer. So she begrudgingly started preparing for the meeting with the Justosian leaders.

As she entered the building of the building of the ministry of foreign affairs of Justosia, she was taken to the office of Torres by a secretary. "Good day, Mr. Torres," she said as she was left alone in the room with him.

Torres recalled the call with his sovereign. The gist being say what is needed to sate them & stop their proverbial fits. Not to fail him. The King was sick of dealing with their federation & would have refused anyway due to Mr. Tanner. The PM was in Gøthehavn on very important treaty business. Both their pictures adorned the wall as was governmental SOP. The PM decidedly hung below HRM. So this task fell to him & his recently moderated attitude.

"And a very good day to you, Ms. Harris. We should enjoy this sit down. It's a gesture on behalf of my sovereign to sate your government, our treaty friend. To show you how committed to peace we are. To put the last of this unpleasantness behind us."

Torres buzzed for coffee to be brought in.

" Coffee?"

Emilia Harris wanted to smirk, but she managed to get only a slight smile. "Sate my government?" she thought. Looking at him, and measuring him from toes to head, the Justosian minister looked dressed smart, but when he opened his mouth to say things like sating the government and treaty friend, she could not but ask herself if he was truly capable to do this job, or he is, as the INTAF stated in their reports, only the barking dog that follows the orders of the king, without analysing and without questioning them.

"I quite prefer a black tea, but a coffee would be grand," she said smiling at Torres. "Mr. Torres, I imagine you are a busy man, so I will prefer to keep this as short as possible. For my government to be... 'sated' as you say... we asked you multiple times for only one thing. To share with us, what threat is there in the Clarencian Sea, that prompted the creation of the RDO plan. I understand the whole anti-communist element, as I am coming from an Engellkin country we very much understand the menace of Leninovism and thus we share the same feeling, but those are very abstract things. What we asked for, wasn't even what the RDO militaristation represented and the number of carriers and ships you built. We asked for you to point us to the actual threat. We understand the need to defend yourself, but what the recent development in Justosia had us wondering as to what has actually started all this. Is there a threat? To that, we have received mostly hostile responses from your ministry," she said looking the Justosian in the eye and never breaking contact.

"Do they not have news over there? Or is she just.....ignorant?" Torres asked himself as he had the coffee brought in.

"Well eureka my lady. A new request. One we are happy to fulfill as we have sated, or in layman's terms satisfied, your thirst for knowledge in other areas.

Firstly, the now completed project that was known as Defence Readiness One was meant to bring our military out of the nineteen fifties and sixties and into the twenty first century. Which is our right. A modernized, proper standing defence nationale is also every nation's right.

More to your point however the sea you mention barely registers on our radar. No. We are focused on the more important Thaumantic and Implarian seas. I envision that should bring you more comfort than already provided to you by my government so generously declassifiying DR One to yours. We however are not comfortable. When our formal ally Occitania requested our aid in their defence against Communist guerillas, backed by nation states like the Northern Cooperative Unions and others I shan't name, we realized merely a fraction of our military could pass for modern. The NCU had previously threatened us. For an established, equipped, radical left nation like the NCU or its allies, who believe in Socialism and Communism INTERNATIONALE, it wouldn't take nearly as long or be as hard as you might think to cross into Himyar. This was our wake up call. Along with other arrogant, odious, condescending, imperial antagonistic threats from more nations I shan't name.

All this laid the firm reasoning and groundwork for DR One. Again, that program is now completed. We have withdrawn from Brecosta, victorious. We are minding our own business. My government has utilized its aforementioned right. Hopefully this sound explanation can indeed make our meeting short, no?"

She started to get annoyed. Having this Justosian just repeating like a parrot everything he has been told to say, which are actually only slogans and abstract, paranoid nationalist aphorisms, did not help her at all. Plus, she felt that he was acting very superior towards her, which irritated mostly, as from her point of view, he was just a misogynistic pawn of a regime led by fictionals, who are too arrogant to understand the intricacies of the geopolitics of the Long and Hamar Seas, let alone of the Thaumantic, but at the same time, they felt superior to anyone. "A dangerous regime, fueled only by paranoia, fictionalism and machismo," she thought. In the end, she felt that this conference was useless and it needed to end, as she could not get her answers. At first she thought it was because they simply did not want to share them, but looking at the minister, she actually had the breakthrough. "Eureka," as the arrogant idiot has said to her, like she was mentally impaired. There are no answers, because there is nothing. She will send her report soon to the Combs House.

"Mr. Torres, you don't have to be so superior and use such terms like sating my government or eureka. As we are talking now, we aren't mere humans, but the eyes, ears and mouths of our countries, so I would say that we should act accordingly and professionally.

As for the NCU, the Federation acknowledges them and their brand of communism as a potential threat, but we all know that they are a paper tiger. With no blue water navy and so far north, the NCU are no threat. As for the whole quagmire in Brecosta, I just hope that Justosia knows that they were extremely close to violate the SQT treaty, which clearly makes the Hamar and Long Seas a buffer zone between Kadikistan and Pelasgia. Hence, it is clear to us why the Kadikistani haven't supported the Brecostan nationalists to fight against Occitan colonialism, neither has Pelasgia joined to fight against them because of that. If Justosia wanted to help an ally, very well, but I must make it sure that you understand what consequences might apply.

Also, I will say that we should close this meeting and the chapter of our small spat. Let's just make a political statement that we are passed that and that we will respect our agreements and move on," she said, wanting this meeting to end already.

"Why? How could she be more impatient than I? Buearcrat, from a left leaning, heathen nation.....curious specimen. Cocky, damn the rationale. She'd be dating material if only she was Justosian." He thought to himself.

".....Madam. Respectfully. You are a Justosian cultural attache, are you not? At least as a liasing diplomat you should know we talk a certain way here. I do hope you didn't take offence it.

I am glad we found agreement. Nations like the NCU ARE a threat. We know this first hand. I hold out hope that we can find more common ground in the future. Rest assured we wish to incur no consequences or divy them out. Justosia honors its alliances is all. Now on that subject....."

Torres took out 2 folders. One had a resigned copy of their non aggression pact. The other had another copy of the de-classification of DR One. With an added article. Added was a formal request to Camp Hill for joint military exercises from Defence Minister Delgado. Torres wanted them called war games simply so she'd spit her coffee out & climb up the walls screaming. This jesting made him chuckle briefly.

"Forgive me madam. Sometimes one must amuse one's self. Now if you'll look to the bottom of form two I believe you'll be very pleasantly surprised. This is yet another gesture of our commitment to our non aggression pact. Please pass this along to your Lord Protector. I know we both have business but I do hope you've at least tried to enjoy your time here?"

Torres took some sips of his coffee. He then paused briefly before his next thought.

"Miss Harris......our Southern Kingdom has absolutely no interest in making Europe or our region an even worse powder keg. Other nations.....or should I say nation in our region.....they cannot say the same. One nation in particular. Whilst for diplomatic reasons I cannot say their name, this particular nation never got over us throwing them off a very long time ago. They're not in fact your friend. This particular nation isn't as humble or peaceful as they want you to think, please, TRUST us in this regard. I simply felt obligated to warn you."

There was no way Harris was.....that stupid. He knew she knew he was talking about Auraria. Justosia's long estranged mother country. The country House de Francisco had loved, been loyal to, until their 1819 revolution. They never forgave the perceived leftist betrayal which birthed their independence, birthed Justosia.

Both Torres & his sovereign heavily suspected they had been betrayed, yet didn't know how. No proof.

Torres outstretched his hand.

"I believe we've accomplished something today for peace." He smiled.

Harris was not amused. She kept her poker face when the Justosian brought the documents. She knew that Stone will not want to do anything with Justosia. Not hostile, nor friendly. Just to keep them sated and behaving. Other than that she would just want the two countries to ignore each other.

"I will send those documents and the proposal for the military exercises to Camp Hill. But I would suggest to the Justosian government to better organise those exercises with their ally, Occitania, as from the looks of it, Occitania is extremely weak, losing half of its territory to communist Serenierre. I am surprised that Justosia preferred to go to Brecosta and not fight in the mainland, where the problems really stood.

As for that certain country you talk about, I cannot say that much about Natalia's position, as I do not know, nor am I certified to speak for that department. I will only say that the Federation is much more pragmatic than Justosia," she stated while she rose.

"It has been a good and productive meeting. My government will publish a statement that peace reigns in the south," she said as she prepared to shake Torres' hand.

"May God bless you madam, good day."

Torres was amused at Ms. Harris' suggestion. As even a remote Justosian force that far north would probably cause a crisis. He was also amused that she had apparently overestimated the formerly deployed Justosian Allied Force. Indeed they had wanted to liberate Antibrecosta. Alas the force was too small & without proper air support. He had thought she'd known that. What neither of them knew was HRM's plans for strengthening the alliance with their 1st ally. In motion as they were.

He had to hide his smirk as he shook her hand. To him, democracies, especially left leaning ones, had no right to such confidence & condescension. HRM would be pleased he was certain. From an internationale point of view, Justosia was fully committed to peace. Indeed they were, within reason of course. Perception however is always integral.

Torres bowed as she left. He then texted for an update from the Vice Foreign Minister while summoning an aide.

"Get this cream and sugar outta here. I want liquor, and a cigarette."
