It had been multiple days of travel before the Evvean fleet even triggered an early warning sensor. Soon enough, the dystopian grey skies were over them and they found multiple dots on the horizon. In fact, the entire horizon had been lined with ships. There had to be at least 60 small ships, namely PT boats, rocket and torpedo ships, and gunboats as well as about a dozen frigates. The ships split up and began to enclose the fleet in a pincer like formation, maintaining their distance but keeping formation. Just as they were about to fire upon the ships, they saw the facsimilie flag. Instead, a broadcast was shot towards the other ships via radio.

"This is the People's Navy of Exsorcial. You are in sovereign territory of Infinite Father. We see your flags. What business do you have in our waters?"

The firm voice of a commodore filled the flagship's bridge. He did not seem impatient or angry, but moreso reserved, like a man playing a particularly strategic game of chess. Meanwhile, in his own bridge, his crew looked onward with dead faces at the enemy ship, fingers on the metaphorical triggers. A separate commodore was preparing a volley fire of rockets and flak turrets. The Exsorcialain side merely waited with formality and caution.

Seeming to be lightly armed ships, it quickly became clear that the Evven ships had no intent of harm. The hissy, French accent-heavy, low-quality radio transmission of the main Evven ship would transfer :
"HAIL, NAVY OF EXSORCIAL. WE ARE FROM THE ORIENT; THE PEOPLES' NAVY OF EVVE TERRE. THROUGH A GLITCH IN OUR BROADCAST SYSTEMS, WE HAD CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF YOUR MOST RECENT RALLY, AND HAVE COME ON A DIPLOMATIC MISSION."
The Evven flags, through the smog, would boast similar colors and ideological symbols to that of the Exsorcialan.
