Navigating the political quagmire

[nietzsche_waifu]

Thank you for your hard work. As usual, it is your incredible efforts that allow State of Gucun to prosper.

[Devon has unceremoniously utilized one of the smaller briefing rooms as a... film-making studio? Whatever it is, she's talking in front of a camera, dressed up all professional-like. It doesn't look like she's having a live feed conversation with someone. Rather, the film is being recorded for later sending.]

We received your message. Worry not - I will handle our neighbours, assure them on our peaceful intent. Focus on internal affairs of the State.

Yun Li Kwan, out.

[Camera goes off.]


Neighbours, is it? Sometimes I miss the times when I didn't care what other people thought about me. When I didn't have to care.
No, not about me. About my country.

[Devon looks at a long, long list of further video messages to prepare and send, and sighs. Time to grab something to drink. Whether you were just passing by, actually have business with her, or perhaps you were forced convinced to help as camera crew - now's a good time to say something.]

Should I pry?

It's the shadow-like warrior that attacked the ship a few weeks ago. On foot. All by himself.

[saikyocivrobo]

I only heard about it. I was asleep when that happened.

[nietzsche_waifu]

Physical attacks of all kinds were ineffective. Passed through him as if he was just air.

...
It was very annoying.

Hmm... I'm not an expert on the matter, but aren't those knights only harmed by sound waves, or something along these lines? You should probably talk to the guy who made that announcement.

[nietzsche_waifu]

I was... busy during the time of his announcement.

So I missed it.
[Devon is making excuses? Well, she looks kinda grumpy about it, that for sure.]

I'm glad to see you're still the same as before in some aspects, even after all these years.
