The Iron Beasts of the Deep
James stood on the deck of the BNS Hope, the Imperial Navy's flagship aircraft carrier, gazing out at the endless expanse of ocean. The salty sea air filled his lungs as he watched the sun rise over the horizon.
He had recently returned from the Britannia Kingdom. Because of Alberto's sudden order, James had been forced to hand over his duties to Diplomat Joseph.
He was given a new mission. They found an island a few days ago. Taku Island—
James's mission was to establish diplomatic ties with the Taku, bringing them under the empire's influence. It would not be an easy task, but James was confident in his abilities, and he was determined to succeed.
As he turned to re-enter the ship's interior, James's thoughts strayed to the Taku. What would they be like? Would they be receptive to the empire's overtures, or would they resist? James's mind was already racing with strategies and tactics, as he prepared to face the challenges ahead.
