"However..." Tang Xiao looked at Shien Morabito, the Governor of Chiss territory whom he had personally chosen, and said blandly, "What are your thoughts on the current state of Chiss territory?"
"Hahaha, that's far too difficult, Grand Duke." Shien laughed as though he were not complaining at all. "Drastic reforms to the old system, the establishment of a New Order, invasions by foreign enemies, and one bizarre mind-controlling species... Oh no, two. Then you even brought the Killiks in, Grand Duke. It looks like you intend to test my professional abilities."
"You've done well in the Hoth Sector these past few years. Before Governor Graham stepped down, he recommended you to me on several occasions. You're still young, and you likely lack the seniority to manage the politically complicated Hoth Sector. But coming to Chiss territory and becoming a stone that breaks the calm is perfectly suitable for you." Tang Xiao said, "At least for now, I'm here, and the Protoss are here too. With such powerful support, don't tell me you can't do it."
Shien Morabito smiled. "Actually, the greatest problem facing Chiss territory right now... is the lack of enemies."
Tang Xiao snorted coldly. "Enemies? Does Chiss territory not have enough enemies already? The Grysk Hegemony, the Illumine Kingdom of Kilji, Mongal-Mongal, and countless enemies hidden in the shadows that we know nothing about. How can you say there are no enemies?"
"Oh, no, no, no. Enemies like the Grysk Hegemony are terrible. They can't be enemies... I mean, not the kind out in the open. You see, war with the Grysk Hegemony will only worsen the division and distrust within Chiss territory. The same goes for Mongal-Mongal. Most of the time, you don't even know where the enemy is."
"You mean public opinion?"
"Aha!"
