Hichuaco Imperial Admiralty Complex
Naval Command Central
Huitzitaca, Xiomera
An aide came rushing into the spacious office just off the main operations center for the Imperial Navy. "Admiral, we have received reports from both our fleet and satellite surveillance that several Novellan ships are approaching the exclusion line. The commander of the blockade fleet is requesting instructions."
Admiral Tlālpantlizal, the Fleet Admiral of the Imperial Navy, made a disgruntled noise. "The talks in Telefar have just started, and the Novellans already think they can sail through our neighborhood?" He motioned for the aide to wait, and quickly reached for his secure line to the Palace of Flowers in Tlālacuetztla. From there, the call would be routed immediately to the Empress.
In Telefar, Calhualyana took the call, raising a single finger as a gesture to wait. She responded briefly and firmly in Huenyan and ended the call.
Back in Huitzitaca, Tlālpantlizal made another disgruntled noise before turning to his secure terminal to type out a flash message to the lead ship in the blockade fleet.

As minutes ticked away and the Novellan ships drew closer to the exclusion line, nerves on both sides would grow taut. Finally, just before the Novellan ships entered Xiomeran firing range, a terse message was received by the Audacious: the Xiomerans would allow them to proceed. For now.
---
Having taken care of that business, Calhualyana turned towards the room with an expectant expression on her face. "I have just been informed that the terrorists calling themselves WOE have attacked an airfield in Xiomera. Several bombers were damaged or destroyed. Did you put these eco-terrorists up to this attack?" she demanded of Tanqui. "We know that you have worked with WOE in the past."
Tanqui shook his head in response. "While we do not disavow their actions, and in fact admire them for their dedication to the environment, we did not cooperate with WOE in that attack. We promised to refrain from hostile actions and have done so. Now, given that you have made so many other enemies in the world with your reckless actions, we cannot make any guarantees that others will not act as WOE has done on their own -"
An aide to Tanqui quickly handed him a folder to distract him into silence; Calhualyana icily replied that as long as the Manabí were not part of the attack on the airfield, that Xiomera was prepared to continue with the talks.
