Suddenly, a knock was heard from the door.

"-Huh?" Octavia said, as he looked over towards the door, startled by the sudden knock. "Oh, uhm- come in." He cleared the cigarettes and empty bottles off his desk, and adjusted his tie.

Lieutenant Reuss opened the door, stepping into Octavia's office. "Good morning, Sir." He said, he proceeded to shut the door behind him, and then walked over to sit down in front of Octavia's desk.

"Care for a cup of coffee?" Octavia said, as he poured coffee into a cup and handed it to Reuss.

"Well of course, Colonel. I haven't had a drink since I left the mainland, which was roughly around... five hours ago?" Reuss said. "But never mind that, I didn't come here just for a cup of coffee, I've come here for an important discussion with you, concerning our nation."

Octavia raised a brow at Reuss' statement. "Go on..." He sipped his cup of coffee.

"The state is planning an invasion of the bordering nations of Cetus and Aquila, the Government has grown concerned of political corruption due to growing influence from other nations, such as Orion." Reuss said.

"An invasion, you say? It's about time we returned to some good old warfare... send the word to the mainland that I'm willing to assist in this operation." Octavia said, standing up to look outside his window. "We must carry out this operation for the sake of our dear nation."

"Understood, sir." Reuss said, soon standing up and walking to the door. "I'll be departing now, I must return to the mainland at once." Reuss then proceeded to walk out of the office, and shut the door behind him.

"Very well." Octavia said, before sitting back down on his chair and continuing to drink his coffee.

Meanwhile, Reuss walked towards the base's port, escorted by a few soldiers of the Imperial Army. He was soon inside of his boat, pacing around inside of his cabin. The boat now departed from the port, and set course for the mainland.

Octavia watched from his office, as the boat sailed away from the island, and was consumed by the thick fog surrounding it. "Good luck out there, Lieutenant."
