"Let me take this back to AxeCapital, and let parliament debate this."

Hoot!

Hey there

Welcome!

The World Defense Organization wrote:Sir, a telegram for you!
Argh, can't it wait? I'm in the middle of drafting a labor and business co-op bill.
No sir, it can't wait. It's from AxeCapital. They're requesting you to go and discuss border security and international defense.
Well, that's interesting. Alright, get me my top diplomat, my cabinet, the heads of all military branches, and the Chief of Homeland Security, stat!
I want us on that plane within 8 hours. And do reply to AxeCapital that we're coming.
Alright, I got it. Oh, and the prototype Type A80 "Defense Crusher" is ready for review. Should I send someone to run tests on it?
That'll wait until we get back. I daresay we'll be back soon.

Hootsby wrote:Hoot!

Leaders from The World Defense Organization and Hootsby are escorted into the Presidential Palace and into President Kendall Roy's office.

"Welcome to AxeCapital. Oh and our smartest scientists have developed a state-of-the-art translation machine for Hootsby." President Kendall explains as he points to the machine or Hootsby.

He takes a sip of his whisky. "Very well, I called you here today because I wish to discuss a defense agreement. You see, all three of our nations share borders with each other, and it would be in our best interests to have a comprehensive agreement to protect our borders from foreign nations while enhancing the safety in each of our regions. I would like to know your thoughts."

Kalatova wrote:Congrats!

A few seconds of silence follows this statement.
"You'll have to give me more context. The contents of the cipher and why it's so important. How it relates to the WDO's attacks. Why it needs to be stopped. All that. It'll have to be a very good reason that we request any nation to stop attacks that doesn't really have anything to do with us. I have time. Note that all information will be recorded and documented for Imperium intelligence archives. Do go on now."
