“That’s right,” Braun agreed. “The only difference is that this ‘gang’ is the strongest of them all. They have bases in almost every corner of the planet, and their arsenal is not limited to nuclear weapons. Their technology is quite outdated compared to ours, but they have far more resources and capabilities. So, your operation in the Northern Frontier had very unfavorable consequences. It so happened that the squad you engaged was a Vasarian one. And even though you killed a few people and shot down a VTOL, causing quite a stir, the situation could have been smoothed over, especially considering that many of the Queen’s advisors were cooperating with Vasaria, receiving significant personal benefits. But what Züter and Schiller did… Va’anj, the Queen’s brother, took advantage of this situation, and as a result, Vasaria lost not only the squad and valuable goods but also such a lucrative location as the Frontier. Worse, all business relationships are based primarily on trust. And since Vasaria failed to fulfill its clients’ orders, their trust has been undermined. There are rumors that a girl from the Northern Frontier was ordered by the Thyrinian Emperor himself, who wanted to have such exotic servants in his home. In short, the result of your mission was significant damage to Vasaria, and therefore they demanded compensation. In addition to the main demand, their leader, Domitius, demanded the deaths of Ayren and Mara. For negotiations at this level, this may seem like a great absurdity, but this man is a real madman and is quite capable of doing the greatest foolish things if you go against him. Of course, he has no chance against Nevermore, but among the local corporations, there are many who would rather let him play war games with us than help maintain order in the country.
