voice/action in caldera;
This may not be news to those of us in the Advance Party, but I'm sure you've all heard by now. Things in Caldera are indeed grim, but there is hope thanks to our arrival. Now is the time for us to work together, not just as citizens of Union, but as sensible people and pokemon alike. We should all strive to resolve this conflict with as little aggression as necessary, though I imagine whatever actions we see from Gigas in the next few days will determine more of what'll happen next.
Regardless, we'll be sending caravans from here to Union where the Council, as you know, has agreed to provide them with shelter. I expect those who have decided to stay behind in Union will be able to assist with these efforts-- Remember, every able hand helps! Whoops, I've been talking for quite a bit, haven't I. [ He chuckles a bit awkwardly. ] O-obviously, it's all up to you.
[ filtered to the Swords ]
All available members of the Swords who have joined us in the Advance Party, barring those whose experience yields them certain rights, are to report to Garen, Ky and I for instruction on how to proceed in our aid of Caldera. While you're here, I want you all to keep in mind that each of you is an ambassador in a foreign city, and your actions reflect not only the Swords' but all of Union. So please be on your best behavior.
Those of you who have stayed behind are no less crucial to the relief effort, either. While we can hope there won't be any sort of conflicts with all the refugees moving in, it doesn't hurt to be vigilant. The presence of a few of our officers would no doubt help ease any tension between the refugees and our own citizens. I can't predict that there will or won't be any altercations, but remember it is our code to act on the Savior's behalf, in a way She would approve.
[ later, action ]
[ Hans is overseeing some role calls with the citizens, idly patting his ponyta's side as he looks over some of what has become Union's supply camp. He looks regal and noble and wow, he's just such a prince, all decked in his finest uniform. He's going all out with this appearance thing, his smile warm and easy. Though y'know, with that horse of his he actually looks a bit... relaxed, for once. Not a thing that tends to happen with him around pokemon. ]
I think I'll name you... Sitron. Do you like that?

I heard rumours that they had an Enlightened woman chained up. I know that the Earthquakes Union suffered a while back were because they forced an evolution on a bunch of Tyrantrum all at once. They seem more concerned with power than with the potential consequences of their actions.
[Although perhaps that's a weakness in and of itself that can be exploited if need be.]
I think it might be best to offer something that can be taught to them over time, rather than something material.
[Action]
[ Bonds are power and Gigas has no bonds?? Who knows. Hell, even Hans can make nice with a horse. ]
It's very likely that we'll have to accept any demands they make, short of asking for a complete surrender. I don't know how willing the people of Caldera would be to do that.
[ Or the people of Union, for that matter. ]
[Action]
[It's just basic human nature. Even if the diplomatic team goes in prepared to give Gigas most of what they want, it's not something she thinks they should reveal early. It's better to just hear them out, be very polite, but not show much of a response.]
Even if we have to give them what they want in the end, we don't want to make it seem desperate. The diplomatic talks might help stall things enough to get needed supplies to Caldera and to get the refugees out, though. Assuming they'll grant us an audience.
