"That's somewhat relieving to hear, Madam President." Timothy Gargant replied. "That being said, I would have to request that you notify us of such tests in the future. Hopefully we can keep incidents like this from causing panic again."
It was then that General Davis walked in, his expression grave.
"One moment please, Madam President." The Prime Minister said, before he covered the mouth-piece and turned towards the General.
Davis leaned in, speaking in hushed tones. "Sir, our intelligence assets have picked up a large movement of Kerlian Forces towards the border. We've also seen the clearing of spaces for field-hospitals and supply depots going up. This doesn't seem like a precautionary measure on their end."
"You think it could be a buildup to an invasion?" Gargant asked, keeping his voice equally low.
"It's definitely a build up to something, sir." Davis replied. "I wouldn't discount it."
Inwardly, Gargant cursed himself. How many times in the past had Kerlile pulled a stunt similar to this. Say on thing and yet act in a completely opposite manner. Steeling himself, he removed his hand from the receiver and addressed the Kerlian President.
"President Arnott. I've just received notice that your forces seem to be building up at our border. Well beyond what would be necessary to maintain security at the border." He stated calmly. "Would you care to explain what you're doing?"
