The Martial Unity

"This is quite the novel idea," Zeyra, an assistant diplomat of his, remarked after Rui finished explaining his initial idea.

"I agree," Stemple, the other assistant diplomat, nodded. "Did you really come up with this sir?"

"I did," Rui nodded. "I proposed it to Martial commissioner, and she approved after giving it some thought. There are many merits to the plan I have proposed, after all. The best way to demonstrate the value of our techniques to the G'ak'arkan Tribe is by putting ourselves in their position and showing them the value that our techniques bring us when we are in their position.

As long as we can sufficiently sway over enough stakeholders of the G'ak'arkan Tribe we can move past the biggest hurdle hampering our discussion."

The two of you and the rest of the diplomatic team will have to help me chalk out a list of requirements and conditions for the potential locations that we could inhabit so that we can provide this to the intelligence team and have them discreetly conduct surveys across the island for
