"Very well, then - I'll draft up a more in-depth replanting program that ensures preservation of the inherent biodiversity in Baitros. This program will involve cooperation between scientists and eco-cult advisors, while still keeping the loggers and the locals in mind."
And you do mean it, not only because your declaration was caught on camera, but also because you genuinely want the rainforest preserved - not only because it's more than half of Paneira's income, but also the fact that you find watching Jack's Blue Monkeys entertaining.
As the talk concludes with Daisy and Jimmy in smiles and Chaamac cautiously accepting the program, The Telephone rang.
"Hi, your excellency, got some good news this time!" Risonha's sweet accent can be heard.
"Oh, good! What's the update?"
"We have tracked down the crates to an international arms dealer by the name of Samar Kalim. He used to be a higher-up in the Zayyine army before a scandal forced him to 'retire', which explains the origin of crates. But wait, it gets better - he seems to still be in Paneira, waiting for a transaction. Now, we can corral him now, so to speak, or we can wait to catch him and his client during the deal. We've got to decide what to do, quickly, before he skips town again."
"Alright, I'll call you back with the decision soon, Risonha." Oh ho! Good news indeed! You may even be able to capture him to gain sweet, sweet intel.
Later that day, you've received news from Universidad Nacionale de Paneira - the materials scientists have found a way to make a lightweight yet durable material they've dubbed 'Aero-gel'. Its molecular structure traps a lot of air - in fact, it's made up of almost 99.8% air. The lead scientist was very keen on giving ideas what this material could be used for.
