"Really awesome, Pritu. What a first impression.", He mumbled to himself, as the phone in the room sprang to life.
The Corporal returned to the station soon after. "I trust you did nothing stupid, Private?"
"Actually... Well, we got a call. Our fellows at the station fifteen miles to the south spotted that destroyer, too. They were kinda mad we did not call the Bureau right after initial contact and did so thenselves. Also, the ship's commander wants to talk to you."
"Do they now, huh? Give me the headset." With that, she quite forcefully took Marco's headset, pushed him away and started transmitting, audibly annoyed.
"Corporal Pritu Bohuli talking. The young Private said you wanted to talk to me. Probably, the Bureau of International Affairs will take over communications soon, though. Anyways. Looking at the radar, your vessel is approaching a field of sea mines. I advise you to halt your course and await the Atronian patrole boat currently on your way."
Meanwhile, in Atronia City...
"Yes. ...yes, I will come. Get me the fastest plane available and gather what you can about that 'Syca Empire'. ... Yes. Thank you. See you in Ap'Karmom."
Jahi'la Ihihe hung up her phone and put on the cap on her fountain pen. She shut her laptop and stuffed it into her sling bag.
She stood up and approached the sink in her office, washed her furrowed hands clean of leaked ink and adjusted her greying hair.
She pulled her smartphone out of her pocket and started a call: "Hey honey, it's me. ... No. I am at work and need to travel to the coast. ...yes, you know what I am about to ask. ... Yes, that pair. You are the best. ... Love you, and don't forget that Mick has a doctor appointnent today. ... I'll miss you. Bye!"
With that, she stepped out of her office.
