https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DDfLdN9Eko"Shit, it's flying Gaoth flags! It's got to be a raidship!" Ramza says, and indeed, you can tell that you're seeing a considerably larger warship than the midweight that tried to attack you earlier. And if you can see it in the reflections of the ice right now, you'd bet your hat that it can see you just as clearly. A light pulse of mana pings off the walls and settles over you, before the communistone settled near the helm lights up.
<span class="mu-s">"This is Captain Jaghatai of Gaoth, of the Skyseer. You have one minute before we destroy your vessel."</span>
Ramza rushes over to the communistone, slamming a hand over it and speaking up. "W-Wait a minute, we're not hostiles! We were on our way to Threespice, we mean you no harm, Captain Jaghatai. We'll just be on our way if you want us to. And, uh, this is Captain Valentine you're speaking to."
<span class="mu-s">"You mistake me, Captain Valentine. We will be destroying your vessel at the end of the minute no matter what. Gaoth Honor demands that you be given a chance to prepare yourself for your demise."</span>
You can see Ramza wracking his brain as he tries to figure out a way around this confrontation. "And the reason for this attack would be...?" He asks, for clarification.
<span class="mu-s">"You are enroute to Threespice and have witnessed the vessel Skyseer in Lume territory."</span>
It feels as though the confrontation is truly inevitable, unless you can find a way to convince the bloodthirsty captain to stand down and hear you out. A minute isn't exactly much, and you don't actually have the full minute left if he's been counting this entire time. Maybe it would be best to use the time you have left to try to escape into the complex maze of ice. Sure, you wanted to touch base with Jaghatai, but not if it means risking total annihilation at the hands of his ship just because you crossed paths!
>Explain that you are aware of his dealings with Felippe, and wish to arrange for a new deal.>Go ballsy. Threaten him just as hard as he threatened you. Gaoth are bound to respect something like that, right?>Challenge him to an in-person duel. His honor wouldn't allow him to refuse, and it'd give you a lot more time to make your case to him.>It's already too much risk. Cut contact and try to escape in the icefields.
