The Martial Unity

"Nothing?! You're telling me the Intelligence Bureau, which receives hundreds of billions of dollars of funding each year, has absolutely no intelligence on how in the world that bastard Rael woke up from an incurable disease?!"

The atmosphere in the federal headquarters of the Republic of Gorteau curdled upon the rage of the President of Gorteau.

"…Mr. President, I can assure you that the entire bureau is working overtime to gain insights into the sudden inexplicable recovery of the Emperor of Harmony," the director of the Federal Bureau of Intelligence managed to squeeze out. "We are coordinating our infiltration and surveillance divisions to gather as many insights into this event as possible. We've even deployed the Martial division and have already entered into negotiations with the Beggar's Sect and the Shadow Guild. You will be the first to know the moment we gain any breakthroughs in intelligence."

"Goddammit!" President Raymond cursed with frustration. "Why did this have to happen now of all times?!"

"…Yes, sir."

"Arrange for a meeting with my donors and the stakeholders of the National Libertarian Party immediately."

"Yes, Mr. President."

"Arrange a separate meeting with Whiterock, Streetstate, and Rearguard immediately."

"Yes, Mr. President."

"Have the analyst division of the Intelligence Bureau redo the threat profile analysis of the Kandrian Empire with its latest developments."

"Yes, Mr. President."
