"Commissioner Derun," Rui smiled as her image popped upon his comms display.
He had been issued a premium comms device that allowed him to communicate with the Martial Union reliably despite being a great distance away for the duration of the mission, for mission-related purposes only.
"Squire Quarrier, good of you to contact me, I just finished the report that your diplomatic team filed. Good job, your execution as a diplomat was better than had been anticipated." She smiled ruefully. "It's a shame that the diplomatic missions failed, engage with them a bit more, and increasing your offers by a certain margin is the only option left. And if that fails… then I'm afraid we will have to question whether this mission is even worth pursuing in the first place."
Rui raised an eyebrow at those words. "Is the Martial Union willing to give up on obtaining those techniques?"
