Sounding the Alarm
Bob was worried about Dr. Vernard had told him just minutes ago, and one of his compatriots was a man of the nation of Wakanda. It wouldn't be right to allow such a threat go unwarned. Yet, it could not be done directly. So, using the technology of the saucer and as many screening abilities as he could muster, Bob made a call to the highest office in all of Wakanda, all under the guise of a call from a secretary.

	After several re-routings of the signal, the call finally reaches the earpiece of the King of Wakanda. "Yes, Mr. Secretary," comes the polite response, only slightly breathless. He's obviously in the midst of something. (Reply to this)(Thread)

"Greetings T'Challa, King of Wakanda. This is not your Secretary of..."

Bob checks the database.

"...Finance. I do, however, bear bad tidings from just beyond your borders in Ghudaza. It is something that requires urgent action and will Become a threat to Wakanda if not taken care of."

This voice is done through obvious filters, but if it were to be traced it will eventually reach the phone of T'Challas personal secretary.

	Air is sliced, an impact is heard. "If you are attempting to warn me of Achebe's machinations, they are currently well in hand." Another impact, and the yelp of someone in sharp pain. It would seem he's in the middle of a fight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A quick glance at the database tells Bob who that is. "No, this is not a mechanization of one of your normal enemies. This is one of a more...eldritch manner. One that is poised on the border between Wakanda and Ghudaza." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The shrill sound of metal being clawed open is heard, although muted through the considerate design of the communication device the king is currently using. "Does this threat have a name?" A heavy clang, and a pile of falling metal fades to nothing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It does indeed have a name King, but we are not aware of it. All that can be said is that it is powerful and arcane. We know you have allies that are skilled in magic. A simple checking from them should find the beast."

Not entirely true. The hint from Dr. Vernard was one that it was powerful and *may* be found, but giving the idea that it is findable may give Wakanda an advantage.

	Just wind for a moment. A distant, muffled explosion, before a shift in the surrounding sound as his voice picks up the echo of being in some sort of tunnel. "And why has this warning required your anonymity?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is a matter of deep cover for both ourselves and our source of information." This was a partial lie, but it was needed to get the trust. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Slowly, the whirr of some large machine can be heard getting steadily more pronounced. "Then by what means should I know to trust your information and motives?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There is not much to say in terms of words, but I am sure that one Derek Khanata would be a reliable source. He will be telling you this same news within the hour. Our sources are separate, but he will come to the same conclusion and share it."

Bob made a note in the loop to pass this news on to Derek to add to the severity of the news. And have the information be collected to pass on and support Derek.

	Apparently, that reference will be enough. "If you cannot detail the nature of the threat, can you speak of its intent? What it may want with Ghudaza or Wakanda?" Followed by the hum of some form of energy in the background. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We do not know what its intent is, but we do have reason to believe it malicious and willing to take advantage of the tension between Wakanda and Ghudaza. We believe it to increase the tension and sen the region into chaos because of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Excuse me a moment, my friend, but you will not want to hear this."

The line goes silent for a few long moments, and when sound returns, there's a rush of a distant echoing rumble and the sound of crackling flame.

"Apologies for the interruption. The tensions between Ghudaza and Wakanda are indeed stretched tightly. This threat will be thoroughly investigated. Is there anything else you can tell me before I thank you for your time and effort?"

	"None more than appreciation for listening. Most would simply think this an attempt to manipulate them for our personal advantage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That possibility will be investigated as well." The man is no fool. "If you are true to your word, you have the gratitude of Wakanda." (Reply to this)(Parent)
