Aoi could feel Myron pressing a small, metallic box into her palm, and him whispering, "Here; this is one of Qingshe's Teleport Beacons; this would allow you to 'download' yourself into my disk in an instant. Will you be okay with using this?"

Suta, meanwhile, nodded and walked off in the direction of Shen Tu; Myron felt a sense of foreboding on how eager the guy walked, as though he was somehow dooming himself through overconfidence. As for Roberto, just in case he needed any more instructions, Myron spoke, "Create a distraction to divert Huo Ren's attention; you're not a cute guy, so you'll have to be creative - Try going up to him and saying passive-aggressive remarks he cannot retaliate against without looking like the bad guy in this [i]diplomatic meeting[/i]. Would that be okay with you?"

Seeing Noel continue to try and talk Lieutenant Chea into letting them act, Myron then uploaded two files into Aoi and Roberto's smartphones, saying, "These, by the way, are the reports I can find about 'Yulian Suburov'; let's just say that he's good at dragging off suspected rebels and subversives to where the sun doesn't shine, and the only part of that the Russians do not approve of is his semi-open desire for other men as well as women - The cultural differences that were mentioned. So they sent him off as their 'observer' to get him out of the way while they find someone as effective as he is without being 'disgusting' to them..."

People, both Chinese and ASEAN members, were talking about news from around the world, where Ukraine's recovery of Kherson shared near-equal space with Myanmar's National Unity Government overruning several townships. But Cristina would notice something as the updates on the Task Force's phones and local television screens flashed by - Events from the Philippines were popping up more often in the newsfeed. The reason why?

Angelito Jaime, the Hero of ASEAN, was dead, and the Seven Virtues claimed ownership of his Noble Arm, the Bamboo Spear. Because the Bamboo Spear was one of the most powerful portal-cutting Noble Arms on the planet, this meant bad news for ASEAN. Not only that but with the foreign threat stalled, the Philippine Government of National Salvation was being bogged down by constant battles against the local warlords and politically influential clans that resisted the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

In Japan, Crown Prince Shinyahito's sudden disappearance and reappearance fighting in the Philippines alongside his sister, Princess Fukuyo, caused a firestorm of controversy that was paralyzing the Japanese response to world affairs except in one aspect: The JSDF will be mobilized to get the son and daughter of Emperor Naruhito back. Until then, Japanese volunteers who fought on ASEAN's side are reminded that their actions were technically illegal but the penalties would [i]not[/i] be enforced.
