For:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Delegate to Zarich, Avaron Satow.
It has come to my attention that you have illegally imprisoned one of the diplomats under my command. One Senior Diplomat Sophie Fürer. She was violently assaulted outside of a bar in Fuyonouso while trying to find her way home to the Embassy after a long night of drinking. I understand that her level of inebriation may have led to a certain level of confusion, but one to the level that she could be imprisoned for espionage is beyond absurd. If you release Ms. Fürer immediately to her assigned embassy this infraction will happily be forgotten. We will not be demanding any repayment or recompense, just her release.
Lead Diplomat to Kumosenkan
Isalie Schaub
As Isalie handed the letter directly to the courier she almost spat. "What did that buffoon get herself into."

Isalie Schaub,
Your 'diplomat' was caught red-handed with several items that have no other explanation than espionage. She was engaged in illegal activity and conversations with personnel with security clearance about classified topics. The specifics of which will not be disclosed in this letter. Should you wish to debate this matter further, you may meet with the prosecutor selected for this case. The Minister of State Police, Nao Tomori. I will schedule a meeting with her for Esrellia Tenth. If you would like to decline this meeting inform me immediately so I can free the minister's calendar.
Avaron Satow

On the 10th of Esrellia Isalie Schaub, alone, approached the Kumosenkan Capitol Building. She was guided through the official entrance, not the public entrance, by Kumo officials. Despite living in Kumosenkan for the past decade she still felt on edge around the massive spiders. Once inside, Isalie walked up to the receptionists desk. "I am Isalie Schaub, I have a meeting with Minister Tomori?"
The Receptionist recoiled at the sight of the large owl/elk but quickly reasserted her professionalism by looking through a set of papers on her desk. "Schaub-kama, your meeting is on the fifth floor, conference room five-five-one."
"Thank you." Schaub bowed slightly and turned to the elevators on her right. A quick ride to the fifth floor revealed the conference room was right off the elevator. She knocked on the door.

A soft, almost meek voice called out from inside. "Come in." Once she entered, she laid eyes on the minister. She looked young. Maybe nineteen at the most, but if Schaub had done her research, she would know that she was nearly forty. Her hair was long and flowing, like a blizzard of snow. The two largest of her eyes were milky white and unfocused; the other six were sky blue and lasered in on the Eulen. She stood from her position at the end of the table. Despite her petite build, she was still a foot taller than Schaub. "It is my pleasure to be meeting with you," Her voice barely crested above a whisper, "Isalie Schaub of Zarich." With a deep bow, the minister gestured to the seat across from her.

Isalie had heard stories about the Minister of State Police, but she really did look like a first year college student. "The pleasure is mine, Tomori-kama." She bowed as far as she could without snapping her spine and then sat in the seat that was offered. She was thankful that it wasn't a floor cushion like the Kumo was sitting on, as if it was only her head would poke above the table. Her back kept fully erect as she sat. "As was addressed in my letter, you arrested and assaulted my employee. I would like to request that you release her to me immediately so that she can return home, and recover from this traumatic incident."

Tomori's blinded eyes bounced around the room, but her functioning ones never wavered from the Zarich diplomat. Her smile was soft and warm, but her eyes were filled with venom. Without a word, she opened up the folder in front of her and pulled up a small rectangular piece of parchment paper. Finally, her eyes left the diplomat and landed on the parchment. "Her name is Sophie Fürer, right?" She said in her soft melancholic whisper. "Her ID says Yuuto Katono." She slid the identification card over to Isalie. In a tone that sounded completely sincere yet simultaneously filled with toxic intent, "Which is it?"

The ID stared at Isalie as she picked it up. On it, was a clear as day picture of Sophie and the name Yuuto Katono. Damn it Sophie how could you get caught with this. She set the ID back down and pushed it over to the Kumo. "Sophie Fürer. I don't know who's ID that is, but its not hers. Sophie is a citizen of Zarich. Not Kumosenkan."

"Oh?" Tomori cocked her head slightly, "Then why was this on her person?" She whispered and took back the ID.

"I haven't the slightest clue." Isalie answered defiantly.

"Really?" Tomori stared at the picture on the ID. "Isn't this her picture?"

"Absolutely not." Isalie answered, not letting her gaze waver. "Do you think all Eulen look the same?"

"That's a fair point." The minister whispered. "Shall we check?"

"Check?" Isalie's heart accelerated. "What do you mean?"

Tomori smiled and pressed a button on the table. A moment later, a guard entered the room. "Bring me the Eulen Prisoner." She had to strain her ears to hear the soft-spoken minister but nodded. "At once, Tomori-kama."
A few minutes later, a haggard, exhausted-looking Eulen was shoved through the door. She collapsed onto her knees as she tripped over the shackles binding her legs and barely managed to catch herself with her bound arms.

"Sophie!" Isalie cried out as she watched her subordinate collapse. She launched out of her chair and helped the Eulen up. "You look like hell. What did they do to you?"
Sophie grasped onto Isalie tightly and placed her lips as close to her ears as possible. A single word snuck out of her mouth. "Torpedoes." Once she was fully up on her feet she said louder. "They bit me. My system is still flushing the toxin out."
"Tor-" Isalie whispered, almost blurting out what she heard. "Y- they bit you again?!" Isalie protested loudly to cover herself up.
