Indeed, within moments you've caught a handful of inexperienced or unlucky mercenaries that thought it would be that easy to get to El Carambol.
But, due to this operation the station's being temporarily blocked, and the local citizens are starting to feel uneasy. From their commute being unexpectedly delayed, to a rumor of another purge akin to the Materia City favela operation.
Good thing that you've caught these few mercs, though - some say the rest of the mercs are roughing it in the rocky wildnerness outside city limits, while others say the old mining tunnels are where the briefing would be done.
Where do you go next?
Meanwhile, you receive a call from Risonha on the way to your next destination.
"Your excellency, she spilled the beans! Turns out she's not the only Agitator out there - she's part of this Eco-cult splinter cell called Eyes Wide. She only gets contacted when there's a social issue near her area of operations."
"Oho, good job. She told you why she stirs up trouble?"
"Apparently this splinter cult believes that Gaia's will is to eradicate the social ills plaguing our country - admirable, but their methods can quite easily make the situation worse. I don't think they understood this much. Mariposa here truly believes she's helping the country, this way." A soft sob - or is it moaning? - can be heard faintly behind Risonha.
"Hmm, so they're bringing these problems up for me to fix for them. Concerning. So, got any names from her?"
"Oh, I pushed her a bit and she gave some. She named Jimmy Novelas as the current 'leader' of the Eco-cult, and then she gave me the Eyes Wide's leader, Yelena Williams. Curiously, she also namedropped Kruger Junkers, although who he is to the Eco-cult or the Eyes Wide is still to be seen."
"Very good. Wait for further instructions."
You close the line just as another report comes in.
Your foreign ministry had just sent a report that a member of Bordecian nobility is visiting - completely unannounced.
The third prince of House Bordec, Treytak von Bordec, had landed on Materia City just this noon, as you arrived on El Carambol. The prince immediately went to the Bordec embassy when informed that you are away from the capital.
Thing is, this visit is totally unexpected, and your diplomats in Bordec also reports this isn't an official visit.
So what led the prince to Paneira in the first place?
