"It is. A bit of a crisis, actually," Blanc admitted, sitting down thankfully on the low stool by the table. After gathering her thoughts for a moment, she began to explain.

"We would have contacted you sooner, but as you've probably heard on the news, things have gotten seriously bad in Vale. An invasion of Beacon Academy by the White Fang destroyed the CCT tower and cut off all connections with the other kingdoms, so I had to meet you here in person. But that's not the problem. The problem is Smiler."

She paused to let that last statement sink in before continuing. "Just before everything kicked off in Vale, Dec- I mean...the Boss and Smiler were on their way to a meeting involving the purchase of 150 HC-TR Cavalier units - androids like Tragoedia. However, they never returned. The Boss disappeared on his way there and we can't locate him, and Smiler has since taken over everything in the kingdom - all of the smuggling operations, all of the gangs, all of it. And I'm not talking about him watching over it until the Boss returns - I mean, he's formed his own gang now with all of the toughest, smartest members that went with them on the expansion into Vale."

She sighed, but then smiled. "It's all a big mess. To be honest, I wasn't sure if you were working with him or not, but seeing as how you opened the door to us, I can guess that's not the case. I'm not sure why you would anyway, as I'm pretty sure he hates your guts."
