Somewhere in Dunburg, December 5587
Quote:People at the Ministry are frenetic, the secret operation to deliver money and arms to the KPP was sabotaged at the last minute by Legionnaires forces, but the worst was avoided...in the chaos of the telephones' ring bells, a distinct voice can be heard talking to a man with a certain accent.
"How could this happen?!", said the voice, "I thought you and I controlled the entirety of the border!"
"Some of them must have intercepted our shared communications, and sabotaged the whole thing." - repled the man with an accent.
What happened, in a cold day of December, in the Hallowtide week, is that Dundorfian-delivered help, both financial and military, failed to be handed over to the KPP. The highly secret operation, wasn't that highly secret, was ruined by the Legionnaries who anticipated the KPP at the checkpoint where Dundorfian and Kundrati officials should have made the delivery. Luckily enough, the Legionnaires couldn't force the Dundorfian officials, better equipped, to hand it over to them, and the money and the material remains in Dundorf.
"These things can happen in the confusion", said the man on the phone, as some heavy chatter could be heard in the background - not only the people of the Foreign Office in Dunburg are having an intense night, this chatter seems to be mostly Lurrian.
"At least we didn't end up funding your enemies, that would have been a critical failure, you know what I mean, Tiberius?" - the "voice" said, sounding partially relieved, and addressing the man with an accent with his actual name for the first time.
"Yes, Alexander, but we are still in the fight!", replied an enraged Tiberius, revealing the voice's identity, Foreign Minister Alexander Schumacher.
Trying to reassure his counterpart, Alexander replied camly, but firmly: "I know, I know, we'll come up with something, besides, their winter offensive failed and we can come up with something new in the spring - we still support KPP."
The man on the other side of the telephone line sounds like KPP's Tiberius Bonislav - and the nodding from the officials seated next to Minister Schumacher seems to confirm so.
The call comes to an end: "I hope so. I'll conduct an investigation to see if this delivery was sabotaged from the inside, but I exclude that. I have to go, Mr. Schumacher, let's keep in contact."
Schumacher, looking to his aides, "this could have gone horribly, but how is it that this border delivery couldn't go through is [...]"
