"Kimhone, will she truly be able to hear me this way? For certain? ... Aha! A familiar face."
[Suddenly a private but low security transmission is received by Unity Group. On the other side you can see the Ankaian champion, pleasantly surprised that this works. And he's not alone.]

"Salutations. How fare you? We heard news of Earth and they were tumultous. It looks like you managed to prevail however, and I am glad for it."

"Is Sielje any place near? It is my turn to ask for her favor. Something she is best suited for, and may it bring our realms closer together in this difficult time."

"Is this how people of Earth live? Peculiar... I expected a place more austere. It certainly is lively though!"

Not quite... It is not a city, but Unity Group's Fort Alhambra...
[Sielje is playing tour guide for a small group of Ankaian delegates - knights young and old, men and women, they came here to experience themselves how Earth's like. But Ynya made a (probably wise) decision not to shock them with the big cities yet, so far a UG base should suffice.]
"Ignorant upstarts, you know nothing!"
[It looks like most of the tourists have better things to do than to take in the views however.]
"To hunt down a manticore with polearms? Ridiculous! A good two-handed sword will do the deed the quickest."
"Stubborn fool fails to grasp. Without a halberd to keep the swarm at bay you will be overrun."
"Ha! Overrun by mere beasts such as these? Are you afraid of wyverns as well?"
[The knights are busy yelling over each other in a heated weapon-related argument.]

Ah... I implore you, can this not wait for a more opportune time?
"Silence! Knights of little renown such as yourself have no say in this matter. Have you slain even the tiniest cetus by yourself, I think not!"

*Grace shows them a collection of various... replica melee weaponries. And most of them are so obviously fictional or impractical. For example, Star Trek's Batleth, Triple-Bladed Sword, Krull's Glaive, replica of various JRPG protagonists/antagonists swords, and, obviously, sword-chucks.*

"Dare you throw insults to my face? Come, I will show you!"
