Phone call between Kelly Gordon Viceroy Governor of Zedonia and Prime Minister Moriarty
KG: "Hello Sir"
PMM: "Right then, no need to use the blue line. I'll make this quick, Yellowtail season is coming, I want you lads ready down there. Already seen Criton prepped and ready but..."
KG: "It's the logistics sir, there's more fishermen now than ever and they have flooded our registration department with license requests."
PMM: "...And?"
KG: "And we're a bit overwhelmed, I think its the trade deal with Kumosenkan. Tuna companies made big and now with Yellowtail season, its a gold mine in the Criton-Zedonian channel. Everyone wants a piece."
PMM: "Gordon, bloody fucking hell. Get what you can processed. Assign them a spot. And be done with it, this is a huge chunk of our economy and yes...the Kumo trade deal is making the fishermen and their companies out like bandits. Which means we make out a good bit of tax income for the realm. So do not make excuses, budget your team for overtime and get it done. We got a couple of weeks."
KG: "Yes sir, apologies sir. It will get done."
PMM: "Good deal. Anything else?"
KG: "Heard some...rumors about out West of us sir."
PMM: "Careful, watch what you say. Do we need to switch to blue line?"
KG: "I don't think its going to be worth much of getting out. My local fleet commander has reported Kumo warships buzzing near the Western region of Touli. And some civilians are reporting a border lockdown between Franerre and Elenria."
PMM: "We are aware of the situation."
KG: "Right then, see. I'm concerned about the safety of Zedo..."
PMM: "Again, bit pissed you couldn't wait to switch over. We are aware Gordon. We trust the Kumo to handle it, we have the Royal navy on stand-by if anything happens but I doubt it will. For now, take advantage and see if Franerre's economy would like to find alternatives to trade. Other than that, I have a late meeting with the Minister of Interior and Taxation yay me...so have a good night Gordon."
KG: "Yes sir, thank you. Good night."
