Phone Home

It was quite a relief when Kayen finally picked up - Nashua would have just quit if the phone wasn't answered after the whole hassle she went through to get the number. The Saiyan laughed a little when Kayen mentioned how Ramen and Nashua were the only ones capable of 'giving her a workout'. "O-Oh, yeah, haha, I think you'll see next time that we can both give you quite the workout," Nashua replied. Did Kayen know that she and Ramen had been able to break through the massive power barrier that seemed to hang over everyone's head yet? That probably wasn't the kind of thing to share over the phone, right? Well, it wasn't like it mattered too much, but Nashua was kind of looking forward to relishing seeing the look on the Queen's face when she was able to show her face to face.

"Oh, yeah, I bumped into her a while back," Nashua replied when Ramen going back to Earth was brought up, and a smile spread across her face when Kayen mentioned Ramen had been officially promoted to commander. "Wow, that's pretty big! Tell her I said congrats! Er, since she's on Earth, I'll probably just tell her myself, but, yeah, that's great!" Nashua didn't actually know where 'Commander' ranked on the military hierarchy of the Saiyan Kingdom, but it was probably pretty dang high, with a cool name like that. Seeing as that about wrapped up the few updates Kayen likely had regarding Vegeta, Nashua supposed it was about time to fill in the Queen on what'd been going on down on her end. Which was, well, quite a large amount of stuff. "Well, as for me," she began, quickly thinking over where to begin.

"The hunt I've been on for the Dragon Balls has been going pretty great! I have five of them, and a lead on the last two, so I can't imagine it'll be more than a few more weeks of searching at most until I have them all. Maybe uh, start making preparations for what you guys are all gonna do when all the dead come back to life. It might be pretty jarring if it just happens out of nowhere with no preparation, after all!" Nashua let out a small laugh, it not really even crossing her mind to be more formal with the Queen. Not that Kayen probably even cared much for formalities, really. "I partnered up with the President of the planet, actually. His name's Carro, he seems nice. I also partnered up with the Kami of the planet, too, actually. His name's Chime, he also seems quite nice."

Oh, right, it was probably a good idea to let Kayen know about the uh, stipulation that had been agreed upon regarding the wish. "Oh, right, so, part of the thing that I talked about with them, is that, uh, so, the World Trade Fleet has apparently set up camp here in the Northern mountains. I guess there was some big fight and some more heroes got killed. So, they wanted to know if we would be able to come down here and stamp them off the Planet. How does that sound to you? With the firepower we've got, it sounds like it wouldn't even be all that tricky, really!"

"Oh, that's great!" Nashua exclaimed when Kayen expressed her openness to dealing with the World Trade Fleet that had camped out on Earth. She could have just gone and dealt with them herself, she supposed, but having the Kingdom to back her would make the job much simpler. "I don't have a concrete location on any kind of main headquarters or anything yet," she admitted, "But I can get to work on that pronto!" She'd just have to find a member of the Fleet to interrogate herself. ...She had one in mind, maybe, but it remained to be seen whether she could manage to get a hold of that Arcosian again. As for the Queen's question about when they were to strike, Nashua shrugged. She then quickly realized this was a phone call, and Kayen couldn't see her shrug. "Oh, uh, right," she stammered, adjusting her position in her seat.

"I think it's okay if it's after the wish! I know technically we wouldn't have to fulfill that part of it, since we'll have gotten what we wanted out of the deal, but it'd be the right thing to do." Being the 'right thing to do' may not have been convincing enough for Kayen, though. Nashua wasn't sure if Kayen played her politics fairly or selfishly yet, so perhaps sweetening the sound of it was a good idea. "Plus, it'd help us out in trying to eliminate them entirely if we can take every foothold we can out from under them. And it'd help make sure there's no future mass invasions of Vegeta that we're entirely unprepared for." Yeah, that sounded better. And Ramen could always lend Nashua a hand if things ended up being left to her to take care of.

With that squared away, Nashua quickly remembered the other important subject she needed to inform Kayen of. "Oh, right, there was something else I needed to tell you about," she began. Hopefully Kayen would believe her, though if she happened to not then, well, at least Nashua had tried warning her. "So, I was recently called out to speak with an old Saiyan man named Yangcong. He claimed to be the leader of something called the 'Undercover Saiyan Kingdom'? Anyway, he was pretty in depth about how he wants to overthrow you, and he's apparently causing dissent among other members of the Kingdom to rile them up for some kind of eventual uprising of some sort."

Was there anything else to tell her about that...? Ah, yeah, he'd been so kind as to give Nashua the frequency for his radio, or scouter, or whatever. "He actually gave me a means of contacting him, too, here-" Nashua tapped away at her scouter and sent across the contact details she'd been shared to Kayen's scouter, "That should do it, if you plan on contacting him or something. I wouldn't be surprised if he was using a fake name and disguise around Vegeta, but he was really old and had a long white beard, if you see him. He also had this huge, buff lion Zoanthrope with him, if that helps. ...But yeah, just be careful. I think he has bad stuff planned."

Kayen was a surprisingly cooperative queen, Nashua was fining. The Saiyan nodded along to her response, smiling to herself as she felt glad to know the rest of the Kingdom would be her allies when it came to driving away the Fleet yet again. It had felt pretty great to kick them off Vegeta, so kicking them off Earth and actually being able to have a meaningful contribution to the kicking this time, what with her new power and all, was probably going to feel even better, somehow. She hoped so, anyway. "Yeah, I'll keep you updated on the situation there," Nashua replied with a nod, "And I'll probably be wanting to take a brief vacation to spend time with my own family, too, if no huge problem that needs my help arises. As long as that's okay with you, of course!"

Nashua had never actually taken a vacation before, now that she thought about it. The openness of her job gave her plenty of free time, of course, but she was always technically still on duty to be called up for work. "It'd only be like a week or so, obviously!" Was a week too much time off? "Or, maybe even just five days?" ...Still too much? "The weekend! Yeah, I'll just take the weekend off, if that's fine! But it's okay if I can't, too." Then was the matter of Yangcong, which Kayen didn't seem all too threatened by. And, honestly, she probably shouldn't have felt too threatened by the combination of the old man and his pet lion, given how low their combined might was, and their apparent lack of any major allies. There were all those NPC- er, minor members of his supposed faction, but they didn't seem all too scary either.

"Yes, sir!" Nashua chipperly responded, "I'll be sure to snap his picture or drag him in for an arrest if I happen across him again. I met him a second time after, actually. He seemed like he was trying to downplay his whole uh, revolution thing, but I don't really buy it. I'd look into that whole 'undercover Saiyan Kingdom' thing, too, if I were you. It sounded kinda fake." And with that, that was about all Nashua had to report, at least, off the top of her head. She paused for a few seconds as she tried to think of more to say, but nothing was really coming to her. "Well, I think that's about all I had to report, for now. Anything else you need to tell me before I get back to work? And, sorry if I was interrupting anything you were doing, too."

"Okay, sorry," Nashua quickly responded as Kayen told her to calm down. Maybe she was getting a little too worked up about it. It was only two days, after all, so the chances of anything huge going down on those days was quie slim. "I'll just be sure to keep my scouter on me in case you need to call me in, then!" That sounded like a good compromise to her. And in the meantime, she could just enjoy spending some time with the people she'd missed. A good reward for a job well done and a battle well fought, Nashua presumed. As for how she'd be dealing with the Yangcong situation, Kayen sounded pretty reasonable. Keeping an eye out and kicking him from the Kingdom seemed like a good enough way to keep tabs on any kind of threat the old man could muster up. 

After all, with how weak he was, it wasn't like he could hope to stand against Kayen, let alone Nashua. "I'll let him know next I see him, if he hasn't figured it out already," Nashua said back to the Queen with a firm nod of her head. She didn't know who Skash was, but they were probably just someone Kayen had hired to work for her. Nashua let out a small chuckle when Kayen mentioned how she had to 'deal with all the stupidity' all by hersel back on Vegeta, then replied, "Well, as soon as I wrap up here, I'll be sure to swing back, so you can rely on me to lend a hand." After she'd taken her short vacation, of course. Ideas for what she and her family could get up to upon their revival buzzed through her head, but so did one other thing she remembered wanting to ask about.

"Oh, right, one last thing I wanted to ask," Nashua said. She was a little nervous about Kayen becoming the new Queen, but their conversation so far had mostly reassured her that Kayen was a competent, if somewhat fesity leader, still perfectly fit to lead the Kingdom. But getting her take on something she'd disagreed with Vocado about would probably help shed a lot more light on her status to Nashua. "So, I know Vocado had bragged to the Fleet after we retook Vegeta about us setting our sights straight on dominating Arcose next," she began, "And, well, I wanted to ask what your own take on that was. Like, uh, do you think you'll be heading over to start conquering again? Or are you thinking we'll be mostly staying to ourselves, at least for a while?"
