"Your tactics where worthless! The intel, even more so! Reiist allies!? We knew nothing about fighting Reiists! Let's not even mention that incident with the that Weeb bastard."
"Calm down. The objective wasn't to win anyway, it was to capture their valuables, and us Germans got what we came for."
"What do you mean!?"
"The attack was a diversion."
"T-That's basically a betrayal of our allian-"
"This is the real prize..." speaks a new voice...
"Project Elm is coming together. This is the end of the Reiists." speaks member of the Royal Guard, Medraut of the Lake...
In the office of Prime Minister Andrew Wright
"You're telling me our sacred artefact stores where raided by some invader!?"
"Y-Yes sir... by a contingent of Germans. They only stole the 'Stave of Acceleration'. It was a staff capable of breaking the sound-barrier when thrown. The Reiists where asking about a 'Red Stave' lost during the Lost Sectors disappearance. We assume these relics are one in the same.... This seems to be a religious artefact to the Reiists."
"Keep it on the downlow. Let's not let our ally know we even had something they wanted from us. Those Reiists are crafty."
"I'll up the security on other Reiist artefacts sir."
Somewhere near the Galactic Core.
"You want *us* to take you through the Galactic Core? All the way to the Makinamists? That's way too dangerous!" cries out a Minaglacian troop.
"Exactly..! But Bleak Company was too far away to get here in time. You're our only way through, besides, the Reiists are our mutual enemies."
"But we'll be fighting Germans too right?"
"...Probably." sighs the leader of the 'Manaists'. "The Makinamists gave us an offer we can't refuse. Please help us get through the Galactic Core. My people have suffered for decades under the oppression of the Asukaites and the Reiists. We'll pay you well. I promise."
"...Fine. But we'll be taking any minerals we find on the way."
The Legotavian Prime-Minister awaits his train for his daily commute. He knows how important it is to maintain his brand, and what better way to do that then by travelling among his people. A microfig asks for his autograph, and he graciously accepts. What a day this is, some 'Warhead' (Come to think of it, is that some kind of missile?) apparently is causing a fuss in the outer colonies, and a QRF force is having problems defeating him.
There's a sound of footsteps behind him, and a strange looking woman steps beside him.
"Now that that drama with Warhead is smoothed over, Let's me inform you of your task, Artefact Hunter."
"What the hell? That's a crab."
