@Starlight to @Serenity

As I'm sure you've seen the news out of Pyrettania isn't good, hundreds dead and the fear of the "nuclear" part of a dirty bomb has the people frightened. Ships have been dispatched to the Matildas, however our surface fleet will likely stop short of them as I've authorized two Pods to take positions placing 308 Tomahawks at my disposal in the region as per the advice of Grand Marshal Rowe. I have declined advice to vacate Pyrettania and take to the seas aboard the Imperial Yacht,  I will not be driven from the Capitol, I think it's important that my People see me here, among them, not hiding in times like this. I wasn't expecting to make these decisions so early in my reign so I'll be counting on some solid advice as well as any intelligence you may be privy to to make the right calls in the coming hours and days.

Please advise and keep me posted.

TO:

On behalf of the Achkaerinese Crown and Government I've been instructed to advise you of how disappointed we are in the actions of the IRN and personnel thereof. Firstly Rokkenjima is obliged by treaty principle to inform the Achkaerinese government of any planned military movements or operations in the Great Northern Ocean, the time for that to happen was before Rokkenjiman vessels crossed into the ocean not days after they did. At a time when security concerns are of the utmost importance to place such things in jeopardy is counter intuitive not to mention akin to petulant teenage behaviour considering the reckless nature of it. We expect the Excalibur Strike Group to be issued orders to withdraw from the Great Northern Ocean within 24 hours and that the same orders be issued to Hunting Girl. Rokkenjima is not a northern nation it is not at war with a nation in this region and the presence of a carrier strike group and submarine for the purposes of carrying out covert operations over something as trivial as a tribunal decision is wholly unjustified.

We will further inform you that upon departure from Setri both the Edward Truden and the Hinagiku will be expected to comply with a stop and search measure carried out by the Achkaerinese Navy, this pertains to investigations concerning matters of which you are aware. Do not mess around in our back yard again without prior notification and justifiable cause.

Should the 24 hours pass without action being taken then we reserve the right to take further action.
