The bronze Arcosian Emperor was in the midst of going over the economical reports from the various worlds within his reforging Empire when the transmission arrived, a part of him welcoming the distraction from the endless stream of numbers, whilst another part of him was irritated at the interruption to his work. Of course he then had to consider who within the Empire's infrastructure exactly had the authorisation to contact him so directly... only one person he could consider would try something so brash, although in hindsight he had told her to contact him with any information she acquired that she deemed pertinent.

Abzerute gave a slightly disgruntled sigh before he acknowledged the transmission, activating his end of it, after he had made sure that it was heavily encrypted under at least thirty layers of coding and firewalls. The last thing he wanted right now was to have his transmission with his agent on Namek being intercepted by the Solar Saiyan Empire, or anyone else for that matter. Abzerute only hoped that Polara had had the forethought to consider the same on her side of the transmission, or else there was going to be an issue with them later on in this interplanetary venture. "Proceed with your report."

Plaid? Who the hell is this Plaid person? Am I supposed to know them? wondered the bronze Arcosian Emperor as Polara made her report. The fact that there was a new Namekian Guru on the scene though was good news indeed, even if they had yet to create a new set of Dragon Balls on the distant world. "Who is this Plaid person?" he inquired, "and extrapolate on this... Denim woman as well." he ordered, wanting to understand for himself who or what this person was that had expressed a desire to join the Arcosian Empire. Not that new recruits were a bad thing, but he would like to know for himself just who he was dealing with... could never be too careful in case of some form of espionage.

The news about her desire to take part in the martial arts tournament on Earth gave him a brief moment of pause before he snort chuckled. It was transparent that she held no desire to act as an ambassador in that scenario, rather she hoped to use it as a chance and opportunity for herself to increase her own power. What did give him a twinge of concern though was her desire to leave her post on Namek in order to do this, if the Dragon Balls had yet to be created by then. He rubbed his chin in thought at her request. On the one hand, he could use some fresh information about Earth's goings on... as well as an update on Earth's own Dragon Ball situation.

But on the other hand, he didn't feel comfortable with leaving Namek unsupervised in case they recreated their Dragon Balls and he couldn't acquire them before the Solar Saiyan Empire's forces could. Now that's something he hadn't heard Polara report to him about actually yet. "What's the situation with the Solar Saiyan Empire on Namek?" he inquired, holding back his reply to Polara's request until he had more information to work with.

This bloody female was going to give him a migraine, he could just feel it. Abzerute kneaded his forehead a little, grumbling under his breath. "Konatsian, Human, Saiyan, Heran, Brenchian?" he half-asked, half-stated since apparently he needed to spell out for Polara what information he required from her. Clearly she didn't receive that many intelligence gathering operations during her prior stint in the military, let alone recently. He was starting to consider against her request to go to Earth, based solely on the notion that Koldar only gave him approval poll ratings, what the hell kind of information would Polara bring him about the state of the world? A series of take-out menu from their stupid food chain things?

He was genuinely starting to wonder what the hell the military were ever taught when it came to information and intelligence gathering. Something that clearly would need to be rectified and soon before unrepairable damage could ensue within the Arcosian Empires rebuilding military forces. But at least she seemed to be getting something right, since she had discovered that the Namekian Dragon Balls would indeed require the powers to be invoked through the Namekian language. He'd theorised about that possibility, and Polara had managed to confirm it... she still needed to work though on providing information that was required. A child's genetic profile not being one of those information tidbits.

So... this Plaid person was MIA, quite possibly dead and therefore irrelevant to the discussion, and Polara had wasted his time with trivialities regarding that facet of this Denim woman when she could instead have been supplying relevent information. Yes, this was definitely something the Arcosian Emperor was going to have to address within his military, and sooner rather than later. He could only hope that the Friion Forces units weren't as shockingly inept as the general military seemed to be when it came to this side of operations.

He found it slightly interesting, and at the same time suspicious, that a human woman that Polara had encountered on Namek of all places, desired to serve the Arcosian Empire. Part of him considered that this Denim woman could be an agent of Vi-Poi's that he'd placed on Namek to keep an eye on the situation there, and was trying to now ingratiate herself into his government in order to supply the Earth government with information on the Arcosian Empire. It was a possibility and something that, from what he understood of the android leader of Earth, Vi-Poi would potentially pull off. It all seemed too... convenient.

However... wait, to Yardrat from Earth? It took him a brief moment before he realised she was speaking about how she had met with Koldar to get him the information. The bronze Arcosian Emperor leaned his head back against his chair, closing his eyes briefly. The paranoia of dealing with intergalactic politics as well as running a rebuilding Empire, whilst also trying to get one step ahead of the SSE was starting to take a mental toll on him. He lay there for a moment before letting out a slow breath, then returning his focus to the transmission. "It's nothing relevant." he said in response to her question about Koldar's full message.

"Now then... about this request to go to Earth... Very well, you may proceed. However, whilst you are there, I want you to undertake an investigation into the status of Earth's Dragon Balls as well as anything you discover that would be pertinent." he ordered, tapping his chin briefly before coming up with a notion. "Take this Denim woman with you as well... consider it to be an initiation test. Once this tournament is over and the Dragon Ball information has been obtained, I want you both to return to Yardrat for a debriefing." Abzerute ordered her.
