The Watertown House was eerily silent, the quiet almost oppressive.

After a tense pause, the Director of the National Security Agency, Stiles, hesitated, “This is a perilous course of action, potentially cataclysmic.”

Lucentia slammed his hand on the table, his voice laced with fury, “Divine Drakebane has breached the HexaPoint Tower, using his violent tactics to take Autreynia hostage!

“If we don’t respond with maximum force, what will become of Autreynia’s pride?

“Stiles, you’re being a coward! Can’t you see that your hesitation could disgrace Autreynia?”

Stiles shook his head, resigned, “Lucentia, sometimes we must yield to the stronger force.

“We can’t afford to risk everything on a battle we’re not sure to win.

“The strength of Autreynia comes from its people and stakeholders; we can’t jeopardize their future with our limited political maneuvers!

“Our leaders need to grow up!

“For the sake of Autreynia’s people, for the established rules of engagement with more powerful entities, we need to negotiate with Divine Drakebane.

“After all, we were the ones who first provoked him with our aggressive actions and underhanded tactics.

“Just like 80 years ago, when Sakurania struck at our Stone Harbor, and we retaliated by declaring war …

“Enough!” Lucentia interrupted sharply, “You’re suggesting we retreat?! You’re making us look foolish!

“If we back down now, we risk losing our standing in the world!

“Mr. President, Generals!” Lucentia cried out in frustration, “Launch the targeted nuclear strike now! Destroy the light–speed warship, eliminate Divine Drakebane, and carry out Joanna’s execution!

“Even if it means reducing HexaPoint Tower to rubble and sacrificing some of Autreynia’s citizens, we must uphold the unassailable dignity of our country on this planet!” Lucentia declared with fiery resolve.

“Mr. Lucentia, here is the authorization letter from the Supreme Alliance Council, along with the nuclear operation passcode box.

“The Alliance Council has ordered the execution of Joanna as a hostage to force Divine Drakebane into compliance. He must surrender in the designated area, relinquishing the light–speed warship and the super weapon system!
