The Xiomeran Minister of State, Toquauhtli, pursed his lips as he listened to Adams. Finally, he responded. "I shall have to check with my superiors briefly to see who we might want in exchange for the three detainees. Please give me a moment." He placed Adams on hold, which she surely would enjoy, while he contacted the Palace of Flowers. After a brief conversation with the Empress, in which the head of Imperial Intelligence was roped into, Toquauhtli came back onto the line.
"There are three individuals Lauchenoiria is currently holding that we would accept in exchange. Their names are Dina Redondo, Xavier Everett, and Mariano Serrano. We will accept a trade for these three individuals - but only these three. Prime Minister Alvarez will know of them, and why we want them. If the Lauchenoirians refuse the trade, we will not release the three detainees, and they will go on trial on terrorism charges. I look forward to their response."

Usera, Lauchenoiria
April 13th, 4:45am
Usera was widely known as the activism capital of Lauchenoiria. It was therefore only natural that Warriors would have a major presence there, hidden in a nondescript office that no one would notice.
That is, until Mariya had gotten ahold of Irene Ramos.
Imperial Intelligence was more than happy to take it from there. A crack team of commandos was able to sneak into the office in the wee hours of the morning. Once their happy work was done, they moved to a safe distance away from the building. The team leader paused a moment. Their sweep hadn't revealed anyone in the building, and an hour were most were likely to be asleep had been chosen to avoid actually killing anyone. WOE hadn't escalated that far yet, so Imperial Intelligence wouldn't either. Tit for tat, as they say.
With a shrug, the team leader pressed a button on his burner phone.
The hallmark of their work would not take long to be noticed by the residents of Usera, as a massive explosion tore the building completely apart. Concrete, steel and glass thundered to the ground, and the resulting flames lit up the sky as if it was an early sunrise. As smoke began to billow through the area like a winter fog, the Xiomeran team slipped away like shadows, before the sirens even began to sound.
