Approaching from some unknown destination in the east, a tri-engine seaplane conspicuously painted in white and black with the words D-CATO painted on its tail fins approached the Archipelago of the Norfolk Isles. A commercial aircraft carrying specialist cargo it radioed Jingdao's airspace control authorities, not long after appearing on their radar screens, with confirmation of its previously notified flight-plan. It's destination was non-other than Arvidsborg itself, on the Island of Gong.
No-one could say whether the pilots and crew of that aircraft felt any twinge of anxiety as they waited for confirmation to their authorization to enter the maritime borders of Jingdao airspace, still less could the feelings of the cargo they carried be accurately gauged.
