Indigo slammed his fist upon the table, its very being shuddering under his force. For some time now he had been considering having a hand into Haven, its regional affairs becoming ever so increasingly important to his own political home. With an increase of friends forming within that area, and with the nation's political affairs becoming tied further with Havenic nation, he could only assume it time to become an official force within that region specifically. Of course, that said there would be many who oppose the presense of Indigo's men, and yet there were still some who would oppose his allies and friends within the regional community.

Surrounded by head engineers, Indigo was far in discussion about a new project they were considering. Ravenspire. Such a project as this could completely revolutionize the Havenic region, for its true existance, if it were to come would affect nations regionally, perhaps some even abroad. Naturally, such a project could be deemed a high security risk, and also deemed expensive, and so much convincing was needed before Indigo would even consider it. Several ideas had already been placed forward and considered, and not one had yet been chosen. Ravenspire however, was one which would proceed, no matter how, or why. It was these things which had been questioned, and which formed the basis of why Indigo and his men were in meeting, more often than ever.

"I am damn sure that the people of Etaros would be unwilling, especially after the incident with the fools of Ilek-Vaad. We cannot exactly trespass, as nice as it would be. I do like to keep my friends, and Ravenspire will not affect my personal and professional relationships, negitavely of course." proclaimed Indigo with defiance.

Manson replied with a soft tone, careful not to upset his deadly master, "I understand Master. That was just one idea. Notably we did consider it fully, and we also came to this conclusion. We have the Edolians, and perhaps the Scandavians if they are willing to cooporate, though the Scandavians have been about as helpful as Ilek-Vaad in recent days. They have a massive problem with their leaders."

Indigo nodded just slightly, "Yes, but do not remember that people cannot prove you wrong. I am careful not to judge others, for they may act either hasty, or perhaps even completely different to what is normal or expected. Lets not write off anyone yet. In the meantime I do like the option of engineering an Artificial Island. That idea appears to be very efficient and would give us what we want. My only concern is with cost, so obviously I would like to make some kind of settlement with Edolia first, or anyone else who may choose to assist."

With that, Indigo stood to his feet, and his two companians followed in respect. Bowing to him, they pledged their allegance with the wave of reverance, and left the room, allowing Indigo to ponder on the possibilities. Indeed, the artificial options did appear to furfill every possible aspect, except that of the economical.

"Its an abomination!" cried Laracos, one of the Chief Engineers, "I cannot understand why I ought to even continue with the Ravenspire."

Bon was entirely unimpressed with the attitudes his co-worker held, "How can you even question the intentions of our master? He is Lord, and we are his humble, and loyal if I may add, subjects? Just because this project does not satisfy your own morals and needs, does not mean it does not satisfy others..."

Indeed Laracos did have reason to have a distaste for the Ravenspire project. Considering it would not just be a facility to house a large military presense, but also a research facility fondling with the mysteries of genetical data, such a project could not be just disasterous for the nations enemies, but for itself also. Nevertheless, Laracos was led blindly and foolishly back into line, and he would continue to design the Ravenspire. Perhaps it wouldnt even be accomplished, and perhaps the product which comes from its existance could indeed be positive. Lord Indigo had to be correct, it was a simple rule of life.
