A boat to menagerie, not what I would have went with but with no proper airport or helipad most army transports wouldn't work so a commercial trip to the South Pacific was gonna have to do, or well not the South Pacific but a three day trip from the coast of anima to the shores of kuo kuana.

"You know I hope this Sienna Kahn lady is nice, I'd hate to get caught in the cross fire if talks break down," macnamara said looking up from his scroll.

"I think she'll be plenty reasonable, after all what does she gain to antagonize the only army in all of remnant who is willing to recruit Faunus and put them in active positions of power, granted that isn't saying much since vale and mistral tend to lean on their huntsmen forces, atlas has it's robots, and vacuo...vacuo exists? Point being we're the only army to mass recruit the population, even if it's only volunteers," I said looking at the open sea.

"Then I hope she won't mind that we absorbed what used to be her vale branch of the white fang," he said before walking off to below decks.

"I wonder if I can get an audience with the mayor of kuo Kuana, I do wish to send news of their daughter to them," I thought to myself before walking off to below deck myself.

— menagerie —

Here's the main issue with being the only humans to step on Faunus soil in forever, you get looks and a lot of them. Hell I even managed to catch a few racist remarks by some of the more vocal dock workers. "Gods above, we need to wrap this meeting up quickly before I threaten invasion on this place," Macnamara said, pinching the brow of his nose.

"Calm down, a spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar, we must be diplomatic to the people if we are to prove we are truly benevolent. Not to mention that we might be able to convince them to either allow us to recruit here or to join us on the new Union we shall form in the wake of Operation Cobra," I said before handing him a flask of whiskey.

"Alright alright, fine I'll endure it, but let's get this done quick, I fear for my life around some of the more radical Faunus," he said taking a swig of the whiskey.

"Now that's a fair complaint," I said laughing while taking back the flask before entering the main headquarters of the white fang.

— the conference room —

You know for the white fang, they do manage to have a decent conference room even if their budget probably barely allows it, what do I know though, I run an army with a near bottomless budget due to my little game exploits, only thing stopping me from a limitless budget is a working economy, so far I've been getting away with the army board of engineers seeking up a dust company to sell excess dust we've either come across or I have spawned, it does under cut the SDC by quite a bit in vale but it does also prevent a dust crisis from occurring.

"Let's hope she doesn't have any demands, cause we are in no position to A negotiate and B accept demands," he said right before the head of the White fang walked in, a Miss Sienna Khan, sexy with a dash of danger, though she looks far more tired than either of us first expected.

"Are you alright miss Khan?" I asked carefully.

"I'm fine just a bit tired, I didn't actually expect you to say yes to my request to discuss things with me about Faunus equality, most of the world simply respond with a hard denial, stating how we're a terrorist organization, which they aren't technically wrong in saying, so i had to stay up later than I usually do drafting up things to discuss besides the obvious," she explained.

"Huh, makes sense, now what did you wish to discuss then ma'am," macnamara said taking control of the conversation. I started to tune out a little at this point, not because is didn't care far from it, but because negotiations have never been my strong suit. Then again it seems to be more of a discussion more than negotiating.

"Perhaps you will enjoy this kernel knowledge I can offer you Miss Kahn," he said to Sienna.

"Oh? What is it?" She asked.

"In a month we'll be starting operation Cobra, it'll be a direct strike at the heart of Grimm holdings, and a redemption of sorts for all of civilization," he said smugly.

"What would that be?" She asked curiously.

"Mountain Glenn, a great loss for the kingdom of Vale, they have forfeited their claim on the land when they lost it, now a new nation shall be born of the ashes," he said boldly.

"Bold claims, and what would this new nation be?" She asked.

"A republic, a nation ruled by the people, it'll be similar to the kingdom's current ruling, but it'll have a head of state, and a Supreme Court, a place for all to live, free and equal," Macnamara boldly claimed. I taught him about the US and it's systems, so yeah we're forming the United States but in remnant, but damned it all if it won't be a statement to the world. As far as I can tell the kingdoms are currently crippled by the issues of crime, corruption and lack of public trust among other issues, so if I can somehow form a nation that'll do better in shorter amounts of time then perhaps it'll either get them to join this new nation or it'll get them to shape up.

"And how do you plan to enforce that, many times the kingdoms have claimed that they are equal in the treatment of Faunus and humans," she said trying to pick apart the plan.

"The rule of law, the laws shall apply to everyone, civil rights laws and it shall even be enshrined into the new constitution that all men are equal and with a new constitution comes with the chance to declare new ideas, ours shall be amendable, no man is perfect and no one can predict the future so to future proof this new nation amendments can be made to the constitution," he said with great fervor. Macnamara always had a way with speeches, perhaps I should try to interject and put out an offer.

"I'll even give you an offer you can't reject, in this new nation you can set up a proper office for the white fang, provided you make some...reforms, we'll even give you a proper budget, over see some of the rebuilding programs alongside the army and the only thing we ask is that you give this nation a fair chance," I said sticking out my hand, I mean she'd be a fool to not accept it's literally me giving her a proper platform and taking the highest of gambles.

She sat in silence for a minute thinking, and then getting up she looked at me and spoke.
