McKenna was pleased at the lack of fanfare surrounding this visit, he dreaded dealing with the press and preferred to keep things simple and to the point. The ride to Vila Mulkhaz was calming and he took some time to observe and take in the sights and sounds of the nation he was visiting, details that could often times provide nuances which could prove to be useful. He would offer a firm handshake to Minister Lasha, "I believe we share the same hopes," he said with a smile, "it is certainly the hopes of the Empress we may put such unpleasantness behind us, mutually." Upon being welcomed by the Prime Minister McKenna offered a respectful bow, "Thank you, Respected Minister," he replied as Rokkenjimans traditionally did when dealing with an elected official such as Brdzeni Kvirkvelia.
"I hope for the same," McKenna would respond, awaiting the translator, "now then let us discuss how Abstergo kicked this all off initially, and how we may move beyond that challenge. You do understand that Rokkenjiman privacy laws extend far beyond those of the state you represent, as such the actions you accused Abstergo of are, in fact, invalid? There are those on the mainland who are opposed to Abstego but it's not because they're a privacy concern, so let's boil that down to what it is," McKenna continued. "You can't exploit them as you do your native systems, so the foreign target is the easiest in your view. Yet that foreign target is protected beyond your means so you do all you can do to exclude them, force them out of your market? You couldn't crack the code so you want to use laws to have your way in, but in the case of Abstergo Rokkenjiman law trumps your own, so here we are."
McKenna took pause before continuing, "You won't find a back door with Abstergo, not one that will let you in easily, and as we perfect the SiPh chips your odds dwindle ever closer toward zero. As we erode your cyber capacity against us, tell me what advantages you hold to stop Rokkenjimna from dominating your cyber space operations moving into the future? What benefit is there for Rokkenjiman sources offering concessions in that light?" I think we'll both find there are few and," he continued, "you'll find the cost of meeting our standards are far less than Rokkenjiman firms removing protections to confirm with yours. So what do you say," McKenna paused again, "do we handicap Rokkenjima's protections of consumers or do we allow the Diet to vote in favour of those freedoms being eroded?"
