Tio sat quietly, unlike Ayana he did not respond immediately. He gathered his thoughts and said quietly. "This pirate problem of ours seems to be getting bigger by the day. Surely Yamatai will try and pin this on us." He checked his datapad, searching for information through MFY.
He said, "The MIKO was being prepared for a UOCPF ship, looks like the pirates hit the shipyard and stole the unit. That is likely how they got the information."
He took a sip of his water, stating "Surely tensions will be high, if there are no objections, as the Prime Minister has asked. I will gladly try and work to bring a diplomatic resolution to this mess."
"In the meantime, it may be wise to show we are proactively dealing with this pirate issue, we should begin getting them out of our territories." Tio was concerned, but he did not show it. He felt a churning in his guts, he didn't like any of this.
