"Glad everyone could make it," Elante said, smiling hesitantly as his friends - new and old - settled into their seats. The young mage was a little nervous at being effectively the de-facto leader of this meeting by his having requested it. "You've probably all heard by now about the cybran attack on Volaria. News travels fast these days and all. You've probably also heard about the other invasion force that's trying to set up on another island - Gonthar, one of the three titans. For anyone not up to scruff on their geograohy, they're a trio of islands to the north of the Great Black Water, and a popular tourist destination."

He coughed, "So, well, after hearing about that, I figured it was something we needed to be concerned with. There are a lot of innocents at risk, so whilst I know we don't really do wars, I think this is something that threatens Terra as a whole, rather than being political. I think we should intervene."

Across from him, Scarlet folded her arms and leaned back thoughtfully. "Cybrans. I don't know a lot about them, but everything I have heard is bad news. It's certainly nothing good that they're trying to stake a claim on a chunk of Terra, and the fact that they're apparently packing nukes to do the job just reinforces me not really liking the idea." The headmistress shook her head, "We may not do wars, but this is heading straight towards attempted genocide, and war or not, that's evil through and through. The kind of thing it's definitely in our job description to prevent."
