Coalition Flagship

Lotus had just returned from Azerof's ship and had entered the command deck of the loaned cruiser which served as the mission's flagship.

Inside, the players who represented the Defense Council were waiting expectantly.

Lotus took a deep breath and addressed the delegation. "Our negotiations have fallen apart. The agreement is off."

Of course, everyone dissolved into grumbling and complaining. A few words could be heard around the room.

"Unacceptable!"

"Incompetent girl!"

Joker, who was both the representative of the BlackJack guild and the vice commander of the fleet, said, "If you please, ladies and gentlemen, this is obviously the enemy's fault! Azerof would only speak with Lotus. He obviously did so to offer completely absurd terms and to cast doubt on our leader to weaken our resolve.
