>>5331512Ugh, the mere existence of those weapons brings up so many questions and potential trouble. You had half a mind to ask the Zayyine Theocratic Republic ambassador directly - but then again, you think otherwise.
"Julia, bring me The Phone." She obliges, holding the secured communications device on her hands. You dial in a number and waited for the connection to come through, which is faster than you'd expect.
"Your excellency! To what pleasure do I owe this call from you?" Risonha, your spymaster, answers in that Northeastern drawl of hers.
"I trust you've been updated about the current situation. I want that supposedly Zayyine heavy weaponry covered up and investigated, fast!"
You can imagine that smile of hers widening on the other end of the line. "Why, I'm already on it, your excellency! We've been monitoring a certain Zayyine-based weapons smuggling ring lately. My men are securing and gaslighting the soldiers right now. In fact, I've already sent another coverup team right behind the army, just in case we find more." That drawl, how it crawls so fine to your ears.
"How soon can you find out the truth about the weapons? Is it really Zayyine, or a false flag?"
"Oh, our analysts will be hard at work, I assure you. But these things are like mating tortoises - they sure love taking their time." Truthfully, you don't quite trust her and the entire espionage department, but she does her work well... so far. You'll have to trust her on this.
No sense worrying about Risonha, now, because you've shifted that worry into the possibility that there's more heavy weapons at the hands of gangers. You instruct the army and airforce to be more careful in the harbor district - the district has plenty of open space, interspersed with stacked piles of cargo crates that gangers could use to their advantage. You also instruct them to split into two, as the previous phase of Operation Favela Cookout did - one prong goes north, securing the freight station and dockworkers' housing, while the southern prong clears the docks and the warehouses.
