Strike would chuckle.
"The instability people may perceive in the accords will be coming to an end shortly. There may even be new land for the bottom feeders to snatch up soon."
Asiv looked away to his food not liking the idea of the utter and complete genocide when the worlds population is so low as it is. Angelonia ignored Strike and simply nodded to Blake, while Malice struck his own chest with his fist.
"If we kill each other, how will we brag?!"
He would boast in laughter.

Blake rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"There is something I am not sure you realize about these attacks. They seem to be done with little regard to the casualties toward the attacking force. The army against my own home was killed to the last man, with no signs of retreating. Perhaps wiping the territory is what the people pulling the strings want."
He couldn't tell you how. Only that he has seen thousands of men and women throw away their lives for seemingly no reason. He felt like there needed to be a reason for someone to be okay with so many deaths. And with no stop to the series of attacks. The attack on Cabal, 63, and 260 happening quickly after each other with nothing gained. At least nothing that he could tell, and that made him cautious.

Strike would smirk a bit with a bit of a hum.
"So your saying they are attempting to manipulate obvious reaction from me in destroying the blatant scapegoat that is Territory 73?"
He'd ponder this question as would the rest of the leaders.
"John... Maybe you should check that out."
Asiv said a little more serious than he's ever shown. The other leaders seemingly tensed from the suggestion.
"Are you willing to pay the price then, Asiv?"
He'd fold his arms and sigh.
"It may be worth it. Yes, I'll pay the cost."
Strike would stand and walk over to Asiv and hold a hand out, Asiv having already stood reached out with irritation on his face and a deep breath as he went to grab Strike's hand. Once he did energy would flow between their connection and Asiv would be in obvious pain as he was brought to a knee. Strike on the other hand had begun to flout, levitating in place with eyes white, shining a light as if a lamp was held behind his eyes.
"A terror, land as one, commands a horde, foreign power, empty promises, Conqueror."
The connection was severed and Strike landed on his feet, Asiv was breathing heavy, sweating, before coughing. Blood exploding from his mouth and nose at the strain of it all before he recovered, his hair a much lighter shade of green than before.

Blake watched with curiosity, he didn't know what was going on, or what the price was. And without Virgil present, all he could do is wait for now.

Asiv would get a cloth and wipe the blood away before returning to his seat, along with Strike.
"My glimpse has told me much, and it would seem there is more going on behind the scenes. I do not however have a unit meant for... Investigations."
Malice would speak up.
"I do not like the sound of this, Conqueror. It does not seem like he fights in the open."
Angelonia would shake her head.
"If it's a land as one, but foreign power... I assume it is not a member of our territorial continent."

"So from across the Ocean?"
Blake ran a hand through his hair as he considered that. He couldn't imagine how one would cross the ocean though. This person must be quite powerful.
"I would be willing to look into it for you with my own resources as a show of good faith toward the peace of the accords."

Angelonia would nod at Blake.
"If not the ocean then perhaps from far south or the dead lands up north."
Strike would ponder for a short time.
"It may be permissible. I would request your unit also be escorted by a Prota squad. Could be good training for them to learn proper investigative techniques."

"You misunderstand. I will do it myself, and tell you what I found out in a few hours."

Strike does misunderstand!
"How will you find out without going to the territory?"
Asiv clears his throat.
"That may be the last time I pay for a Glimpse for a while."
Angelonia nods silently in agreement. Malice however laughs.
"HAH! Getting too old Zack?!"

"Is it so odd to imagine you might not be the only one with something like a glimpse? I believe that's what President Asiv just called it."

Strike would smile at Blake;s comment.
"Yes, actually."

Blake just shrugged. That was up to him to assume then.

Strike would stare for a few moments...
"I will be interested to discover what you find out."

Blake would stand up and offer a bow.
"Then if it is alright with you, I will see myself up and return in a few hours."

The others would give a respectful bow of their heads, if nothing else, for diplomatic etiquette.
