A Battle Unseen

[Ligbruderkrieg]

Charles W. Ringdeer Intelligence Centre, Reddonshire, Principality of Orange, February 15th, 5712

“Crown Street’s been clear. We ought to secure these oil fields, regardless of the risks undertaken.”, Director-General Mow Carrey’s voice was simple, explainatory as he addressed the agent in front of him. 

“Fair enough.”, said Agent Catalina Myers, matter-of-fact tone. 

“So, here’s your next assignment.”, the man gave her a simple paper, with “CONFIDENTIAL” written in bold, red letters. 

It said the following: Secure the Luthorian bid for oil exploitations, enter contact with New Englia’s political class and ensure the protection of Luthorian interests. 

“Do I have full control over this mission?” 

“You have, Luthorian interests in East Dovani must be preserved at any costs. Be warned however.” 

“Crown Street will throw you under the bus in case something bad happens.” 

“Alright, shouldn’t have expected better from them.” 

“So, are you up for the mission?” 

“I think I can take it.” 

“Wonderful, here’s two tickets to New Englia.” 

“Two?” 

“You aren’t going alone, you know.”, another female voice rang through the office. 

“Tch. You again.” she saw Agent Mary Pryce’s smirking face and that pissed her off. 

“Yo. A pleasure working with you again. Director, I do assume that all options are on the table to protect our interests.”

“You are correct.” 

“Neat.”, she walked towards the now-flustered agent Myers, who was trying to keep her face straight. 

“Now come on, Cat, it’ll be fun...” 

“Shut up!” 

Carrey’s cough made them both stop. 

“Anyway, I haven’t called you both here just to see some...anyway...let’s get to this, you both go to New Englia and will be tasked with the Luthorian High Commission as IFIA Liaison Officers.” 

“Alright.” “Seems fine to me.”, they both said in unison. 

“Good, now you are dismissed.”
