Miles below, the communications operatives received the message, and passed it along to their superiors. In a few short minutes, they were sent back a neatly written note, reading:
Anyone too arrogant to make an appointment with Her Highness is either another windbag waste of our time, or a badly disguised assassination attempt. Shoot the bastards down.
-Master Eudy
A few moments later, the communications equipment buzzed to life, as the following transmission was sent:
"This is Mistralian Relay four-five-seven-two. You have been marked as an unidentified entity, and, as such, have been treated as a potential threat. Attempting to maneuver closer to the surface will result in us opening fire. We suggest that you make an appointment through official channels, and we wish you the best. Good day."
