  "Hey! Give me the old Dosa menu." He wave a waiter to let the employee know. And the employee reply immediately "Right away sir!"

  A pleasant morning for Secretary Jaishankar before he dive into mountain of work. From his seat, the street of India looks the same as normal. But it was just an illusion of the curent economical crisis happened right after the transference. Suddenly, a man step in the restaurant and approaching his table. He realized the man closing in was Minister of Defense Rajnath Singh. He greet the man with a little surprise, "Defense Minister, what make you came to this humble restaurant?"

  Rajnath replied "I have things to discuss, can i sit here?"

  Jaishankar nodded "Go ahead."

  After settled in his seat, Rajnath sighed "Give me a coffee with fresh milk!"

  Then he turned to Jaishankar "I don't have free time to talk to you yesterday. Whatever is, tge government decided to form a fleet with other nations to a joint expedition in the south."

  Jaishankar asked "Then what's the problem Rajnath? Are we making contact with those alien?"

  Rajnath nod with a smile"You're correct, especially you will be the one establishing contact with the local of this world. Surprised right?"

  Jaishankar froze in the middle of his Dosa meal "Huh? The Government send me? What if they have bad intention? I don't want to..."

  MOD shoulder patting Jaishankar "We can't bother to being you along. You'll communicate with them through computer, it's safer than a face-to-face."

  MOFA feels better after his college reply, but realized his time is running short, then quickly end it "Then we will continue on the next meeting, i have urgent business at the office".

  Once he done with his meal, he greet MOD and left with the Dosa with him. His car rushed toward the office because a meeting between Asian Nations is about to start. Rajnath Singh hold the coffee cup in his hand, watching his college car blending in and disappeared within the flow of traffic.

  08:00, Asian Special Online Meeting

  The first rge scale meeting started by 5 major pyers send Shockwave across the known old world. The meeting have representative of some of the more well-known Asian nations like China, India, ROK, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam,... as well international organization with a few exclusion of Middle East, Central Asia and Taiwan. All MOD agree on the topic of Transference Crisis. After all the formalities and greetings, they get right into the main topic.

  Head of representative started "In this special Online Meeting between Asian Nations this time will highlight the shared Experience and information to reinforce the cooperation between our nations and new world nation state. Please, Chinese Representative."

  The Chinese reply with his mic "In this meeting, China hope to increase security of air and sea ne, increase new world exploration and global economy prosperity to avoid the upcoming crisis, as well as helping nation with low economical or military power, and the importance of reconnect the Western trade routes in this global crisis."

  Follow up is India "India will hasten our cooperation with allies within our reach in Maritime Security and reconnect the economy with Earth Nations in this trying time. We also cooperate with other nation Maritime forces in dealing with outside threats. Alongside that, funding for nation meeting their own crisis in this event, to form a good retionship with everyone and maintain peace in the area."

  After that, other nations follows, nothing new. The st speech is from the host to summarize about economy and security cooperation of the area, and conclude the first meeting.

  21:12, March 5th

  The next day is a closed meeting between India, Japan, ROK, China, Pakistan, Vdivostok representative of Russia and a few other nations in the SEA Region. Due to the sensitive nature of this meeting, it was not publicized. Back to the meeting, everyone can feel the high tension of this. They need to solve this crisis as fast as possible to report back the event for preparation.

  Japanese rep started "We have 37 confirmed case of sea monster attack, and despite the JMSDF interference to prevent more case, but our number are limited, so we've initiate Prohibition of small vessels and armed our fishermans, as well as military vessel only in confirmed zone with monster sighted. The article was just announced yesterday, so it's not quite effective yet."

  Everyone share condolences to those unlucky fisherman and continue about a preventive method. And suddenly, Chinese jump ahead, out of turn and state the idea.

  "Despite the attacks, they can be used as incentive to boost Maritime Economy; for example, we can use giant Octopus parts as food, have them as pets and some other ideas that can boost the economy using them." Just like they always were.

  "That's a compelling idea, but we should focus on reestablishing global trade. Dey in this matter could lead to a severe crisis." Vietnamese representative snapped back.

  Indian replied "Hmm, our government will consider this ter, but right now, our problem was we only see them from Satellites images sent from ISRO, there's soo little info we can gleam from those aliens from up there. Despite many confirmed infrastructures across multiple continents, qe can't discern on their civilization level. For once, we wish to form a Joint Naval Expedition fleet to discover those Southwest Continent. Besides, thise Westerners don't just sit of their arses and probably already on their move. And we need to re-establish the global supply chain at fast as within this month."

  While everyone agreed, Thaind still being skeptical "Crisis for situation like this is inevitable, but the Southern expedition fleet have both pros and cons. If we showed up with an advance and aggressive civilization, it'll make situation worse even if we both have amicable agreement afterwards"

  India answer Thaind "Let's give it a shot, if we can negotiate our way out, then good. Besides, we saw those 18th Century galleons from sat image over that continent. Good chance they're no a threat to our naval capabilities. Furthermore, if they're a high level civilization, their cities must've lit up at night like other continents, chance of advance civilization is close to nil. And unless they're highly advance enough to fools Satellites images, the continent not even pass the age of sails. So i guarantee that our Southwest Expedition won't brought conflict back to Asia. To anyone else whi want to join, they must have approval and following India terms, and abide UN regutions."

  After an afternoon, all the QH offices got busy recently, and everyone felt the tense atmosphere like how it was ever since Russo-Ukraine War started. In the meeting, all member state of NATO are all present with Stoltenberg at the helm.

  Jen Stoltenberg used to be a Norway Politician, and now promoted to Head Secretary of NATO. A few other nation use Starlink for communicate like US & Canada to ensure their safety after the confirmation of served Ocean fiber cables since the transference. A few of them carry the heavy burden ever since the lightshow a few days ago. And despite close to his end terms, Stoltenberg still feel the weight of pressure of the Organization down in his stomach.

  "Is everybody set?"

  Support staff replied "Affirmative sir, we can start recording anytime now."

  Stoltenberg turned to the other side of the room "I can't believe this is happening" as he muttered while adjust his suit and step on the prodium, take a deep breath, gnce at the paper, and raised his voice in front of the press's lenses

  "Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, an unknown light detected across the sky of all NATO member airspace, i have confirmed this is not a nuclear attack, but a worldwide Teleportation event.

  And with this scenario in mind, i urgently request all NATO member to increase their investment and payment towards National Defense against the potential threat of this new world. As well as aids program towards Ukraine to support the war effort.

  With limitations of the new world, NATO will announce new Articles that will be focus more on cooperation of our allies against the unknown forces outside human understanding. As well as providing resource for this new world expedition efforts."

  The room got roudy after the speech, and a first row reporter quickly raise a question " So how will NATO continue the response against Russian aggression in this unprecedented crisis?"

  Jens replied "NATO standing prioritize supporting Ukraine and criticize Russian invasion with acknowledged Nation and we willing for peaceful resolution in the area."

  The reporter follow up" Are you sure NATO can protect itself and it's Allies against this upcoming imaginative force?"

  Jens calmly answer " According to Article 5, an attack on a member is an attack on all NATO, and we're willing to response in force to stabilize the area security level."

  With that finished, his pocket vibrated. Knowing he doesn't have time to answer reporters, he quickly excuse himself from the conference room away from hawking press. Back in his own office, he check his WhatsApp message, and turned out, it was from Türkiye MOD

  [Do you have time, I have something to ask]

  Stoltenberg rarely check WhatsApp unless it's important. Knowing something gone wrong, he quickly replied

  [What's happened sir?]

  Jens plopped down on his office chair and looking outside NATO HQ waiting for the reply

  [Turkish Coastal Patrol encountered 8 wooden ship from the South]

  And now he knew he's on to something

  [Do we identified what's their nationality?]

  Turkish MOD replied

  [...]

  Now he confused

  [How was it?]

  The answer shocked him

  [Of course we did approach them and anyone on deck, but they're not human, and was described as some kind of dragonoid or lizzardmen]

  [Those things attack our patrol boat, and we retaliated, sunk 3 of them. The rest was escorted back to Mersin Port]

  And now it too serious, Jens was sweating bullets

  [Have you made any public announcement yet?]

  [Negative, only you and those who's in the know< Jens]
