Premier-General Abakwa on a podium at the port of Igos. Camera crews were all around him, with a cheering crowd of people. Behind them was the floodwall that protected Igos from storms, further than that, the two lighthouses that marked the start and end of Igos' Firewall stood tall, fireworks were being launched from them, their explosions dulling the sounds of waves crashing onto the beach and into the walls. Planes flew above them, the flag of Ausa trailing from their rears.
