Negotiations with Steel took longer than expected (with a short break every four hours, during which Kjolmar contacted Nobody) and were barely fruitful. The man had a heart as cold as ice but tried to sell his ideas as they were positive for society. Safety, a cure to the virus, that were his views on this. By any means necessary, of course. It angered Kjolmar deeply because despite being born in a Skylora society that somewhat accepted them already, the generation before him had to fight hard to not be treated like sick animals. And here in Frisk it seems like not that much had changed. Kjolmar didn't believe in the cure either because he didn't see himself and the other Carriers as "ill". Steel however announced that there had already cases of Carriers being cured. What he didn't say out loud was how the other 99% of them were still being experimented on and even tortured. The worst part of it was that the Friskians saw Steel as some kind of hero that wanted to restore balance in their region. Their minds were poisoned with hatred.

Dawnmist proposed a treaty that said not a single Cyborg was allowed on Skyloran grounds. The problem was that there already were Cyborgs in a place called Midizi, a large city that officially laid in Skyloran territory (near the Frisk border) but had mostly Friskian inhabitants. Thus the people there was disgusted by Carriers, just like they were in Frisk. Steel refused to retreat his Cyborgs from Midizi as he felt that it were his people living there and he wanted them to feel safe. His Cyborgs were not active there yet but they were patrolling the border with Frisk, ready to hunt at Steel's command. This frightened Dawnmist with the idea that if Steel could do what he wanted on Midizi, what would stop him from going further into Skylora?

The negotiations hadn't gone well at all but Dawnmist was needed in her own region and they had to fly back to Skylora. Steel was not open for reason at all. Yet he wasn't a brute in diplomacy, he had been very calm and seemed to be convinced he was doing the right thing for his people. Kjolmar felt powerless. Just outside the presidential building, he took out his Taliscom. "Please tell me things went better there than they did here?" he asked Nobody.
