"I'm tired of this godforsaken plane. Always going here... always going there.... we need a better one... I should ask the emperor one of these days."

"Well Your Excellency, hopefully this is the last time we're here. I don't usually take these long trips all the way out here. I also hope our negotiations work."

"Well, I was sent by the Emperor himself. I don't have a choice. I also do not understand the need for these islands."

"Well, they have been excellent providers of many resources. Frankly, we just need to keep that up... and of course having a foothold around wouldn't be a bad thing."

" I am hoping those Calatians are responsive... I fear war may be on the horizon".

"Well I'm sure we could give them guarantees. Safety, peace, assistance.... if we get our own guarantees as well..."

"There are several steps to this... we just need to tread carefully."

"Indeed. 7 steps ahead. No looking behind."

"Get your outfit set up, we're set to land covertly soon. May God have grace and wisdom on our ventures."
