\* Shortly after the submarine incident Sharp finally dock on the island capital harbor on the surface. Mina carry out Irma who cried of joy upon finally being in open air out of the submarine. \*
GovernorBot: Welcome to our territory general Sharp. I believe you had an eventful journey.
Sharp: That's the least you could say, it turns out the gryphon fleet manage to manufacture or acquire sensor that detect metallic underwater object after all. And their depth charges are much better than I thought those looser could ever do.
GovernorBot: The most important is that you made it. The lost of a submarine to them would have been embarrassing. But I will wholecircuitly agree with you that the empire's mainland people underestimate both the gryphons and our island garrison power greatly. I'm eager to show you that the lack of attack on this island have more to do with the resourcefulness of its citizen who are loyal to their new empire, our formidable defenses lines that are certainly the empire's finest as well my personal great management of the empire's property.
Sharp: That's no shortage of pride for a robot.
GovernorBot: You can just look around this harbor to see our pride. Look at the peninsula east of here, you can see the news fortress of Yahi. The gryphon had a little lighthouse there before, we kept it as a fort high point but now there's an entire system of connected blockhouses and anti-air defense points all around it, and on the cliff toward the sea and this harbor's bay, the largest artillery pieces this island industry now modernized by our empire could produce. Safely carved in stone that resisted the waves for centuries and are sure to resist the naval artillery gryphon are known to have at this time but were no match for modern excavation machine.
Sharp: Impressive fort. I can see why no admiral would be fool attempt to attempt landing on this city itself. But what about the rest of the island? Cause under the sea down there we noticed something else was in the water with us. Something that had a mass sensor disruption device.
GovernorBot: Hmm, a disruption machine you say. We have notice the frequent issues with our sensors in the past. I used to raise the alert level the first times it happened thinking our enemies might have been behind it. But I have later noticed the gryphons fleet was also suffering from its effect I believed it was a natural phenomenon of some kind and I stopped doing that and now try to imagine a way to attack them during the blind times but the blind times have been too unpredictable to be used properly so far.
Sharp: They will become very easy to predict once we'll have captured the machine that cause them. Do you have any idea why would anyone want to slip here unnoticed? And where cause the people behind that certainly landed somewhere on this island, a point that wouldn't be well guarded.
GovernorBot:The rFoyal gryphon navy would be wise to try to sneak saboteurs on our island. But as for unguarded place to land I could tell you a few areas, most of them in the middle of nowhere. Come in my office we'll look at a map of the island.
Sharp: Very well. And tell one of the workbot to escort my two companion to the local hotel and find us a place for three. Make sure to have at least one room with a direct access outside and a great view. The gryphon one badly need to see open spaces right now to get over her claustrophobic panic attack.
GovernorBot: Of course sir. Anything to give the organic visitor of the empire mainland a good impression. You can come along knowing they'll be in good hand.
\* They went together in the governor office. \*
GovernorBot: Here we go, a map of the island. \* He show him a map with plenty of marks on it. \*
Sharp: What's all those marks?
GovernorBot: Defense lines. You can see indeed there's a few area on the shore that's are almost not defended \* It point some of them on the northeast and the west. \* But they are by no mean weak point we would have forgotten. They are just the beaches with the worsts defensible terrain and no way to build coastal artillery in peace on them. So I choose to leave them and instead build several layers of defensive lines deeper inland beyond the reach of gryphons' naval artillery to make any successful landing there strategically pointless.
Sh As well as a defense system arp:ound Tthis very provincial capital city consisting of several fortification and trapped bridge on the western river, not to mention a division of combat bot to respond to counter attack against any breakthrough that may happen station further north. Of course that division was unable to fitted with ragnite using units here but Robotpony managed to invade Crete the Crystal empire and Equestria without Ragnite, so we too shall be able to defeat a gryphonian force without it too.
Sharp: This is all very interesting. I see that you indeed were a very good governorBot for this pilace. But I think I saw what I was looking for on your map. \* He point at an area west. \* This is the weak point for infiltrating spies or smuggle goods. The first town from the beach is almost past the first line of defense. you had set up.
GovernorBot: We have control of a nearby hill to overlook the town area as well as a cloud base floating around.
Sharp: But if it's some people that can pass for locals or have some local support. They can use the town to pretend they are allowed to be there and if their lies work, no amount of firepower will change anything since you'll choose not to it. I want to visit this town. And interrogate its inhabitants.
GovernorBot: As you wish. You can take a vehicle from the capital garage to go there.
Sharp: Also about your defense lines, what about the diamond dog and their digger tanks, they could just emerge anywhere, "lines" lost their values.
GovernorBot: Ah I'm glad you pointed that out sir. Let me show you something. It's an invention by one of the local gryphon who assimilated to our empire. \* He look in a desk and take out a folder. \* She said she'd rather not be associated with a a digging invention as a gryphon but her design is still a wonder that finished to make this place truly impregnable. \* He show him a design of a "screw" with a device on top of it. \* It's an underground anti-tank mine. You place it somewhere and the screw bury itself at the selected depth. It cannot go very deep because otherwise the ground pressure trigger the explosion prematurely, but it's good enough to protect areas from digging vehicles. I have protected most critical zones of the island against the possibility of such an assault.
OOC: And I'm going to cut this short here cause I'm dragged into some chore.
