- Huh...? What...? What do you ask me?
- You're right, Fernando? (Admiral questions to me again).

Now that the "penny dropped", I get up quickly and I reach out to the admiral right to greet him.

- Ahhh! Yes, sir! I'm fine! How have you been?
- Due to recent events... nothing good, Fernando! I need to talk with you quickly three before we go in that room!
- Let's go into that room, sir? (I question, unexpectedly, even for me).

I was excited because I get to know this beautiful woman.

- Yes, Fernando! Shortly. But I do not know if you heard me... I need to talk to you before three.
- Ahhh...! Yes..! Okay...! I'm all ears...!
- All right, then! (Admiral comments, wondering a bit strange my reaction). Inside my room is the ambassador of South Korea She will with you on the mission!
- With us, sir? (Sabino inquires so worried).
- Yes, corporal! South Korea will provide us with all the support necessary supplies before the invasion of North Korea. The ambassador also know very well the region and it will serve as an interpreter for the contacts with the enemy or with the local people, if this is necessary. But there is a problem. No one in South Korea, and this includes the ambassador knows that our vessel might be invisible. She will travel in the boat with you and she can not know anything about it, nor about the secret details of the overall operation of the vessel. And you, Fernando, who will be your guide, why Sabino and Everardo will be busy in their jobs.
- Sir! How do we do our work with the ambassador so close to us without her know everything? (Everardo inquires).
- Then we'll talk about it in detail, Corporal! Now we all need to go there to discuss about the details of the "nuclear mission."
- So it goes with us on the trip? (I, Fernando, I question the admiral again).
- You're right, Fernando? You look a little slow today? The previous mission did you wrong? (Admiral inquires already worried).
- Evil..? No, sir...! I'm fine...! But is that a woman with us..., that boat... tight, cramped bunks... and all in the same room..., little food available, single bathroom... without a secluded... recreation, for example, for her... and I have to do my journalistic work... and still be her guide and hide her invisibility... and the rest of the technology as well...! This is looking more like a mission impossible, sir!
- Do not worry, Fernando! You will do well. She seems to be someone easy communication and also easy. But you make no mistake, the Korean peninsula is experiencing its worst dias.Eles are on the brink of a nuclear confrontation and they depend on us to be prevented Hell install in the region. Treat her with the utmost respect and abide by the suggestions that it adopt and Korea, when you are inside North Korean territory. We no longer want an international incident! We still need to trace our work goals before the trip. Now we go into that room and we will finalize the details of the mission will happen in the coming days.

As we drove to the room of the admiral, I think this is one more thing that was not in my plans! A woman during a long mission like this? We'll have to cross half the planet with her on board! I do not know how I can concentrate on my work, I had to be guide of an ambassador... so beautiful... so lovely...! I'll do it with??

Now we enter the room. I was last, but still I'm kind of stunned by the news that are always catching me by surprise. Admiral opens the door and he will soon present our team. Again my gaze intersects with the look of the ambassador, who now rises from his chair to greet us. I noticed she looked at my eyes for longer than what we usually do at such a time! Perhaps the woman noticed that I was a bit baffled and uncomfortable in front of her.

- Ambassador! This is the Corporal Sabino! Our military responsible for all the electronics and computer programming to board the boat Stealth Brazil.
- Hello, Corporal Sabino! (she says looking directly into the eyes of Sabino, with a look intimidating, strong and domineering). It's a pleasure to meet one of the men who made it possible to create a Brazilian vessel which could enter into such hostile territory without our northern people can see it.
- Hello, ma'am! It will be a pleasure to have her on board our boat special! (Sabino said extending his hand to greet her. Ambassador reciprocates compliance).
- Ambassador! This is the Corporal Everardo! (Admiral states). Our military responsible for the mechanical and electrical construction of the vessel.
- Hello, ma'am! How have you been? (Everardo questions).
- I've had better days, corporal! The time is not pleasant for someone who has the responsibility to maintain peace. As an ambassador of my country, it will be very difficult for me to see up close again a war going on inside our home. But I'm very curious to know more about how you two have built this boat. The Americans insisted that much to Brazilian boat is one that will penetrate the North Korean territory. Why? What you have technology that the United States does not have??

All present military look at each other, without them knowing what they should respond when I, Fernando, I enter into the conversation and I comment the fact:

- Well, ambassador! How do you live here in Brazil, the lady should know that we Brazilians are very creative and always
The admiral swallows after hearing my unfortunate observation. He seems worried about having me appointed as an ambassador cicerone during an international nuclear crisis. But now there is no way! No room for a fifth person, more prepared than I was, inside the boat invisible. So, left to myself! She'll have me "swallow" the whole trip! (here I remembered Zagalo, coach of Brazilian football, multi-world champion!).
- Ambassador! This is Fernando Dias, our journalist covering the secret missions Brazilian Navy (Admiral introduced me).
- It is a pleasure, Fernando! My name is Chin-Mae! The admiral spoke highly of you during our short chat here! You will be my guide on this trip, is not it?
- Yes, ma'am! (I reply).
- I'm very curious to know how to be a journalist documenting secret missions!
- Ahhh! It is... very... easy... sometimes... difficult... but... always exciting... and unexpected... like now!

She looks at me! She raises her eyebrows and to my amazement she comments:

- Are you saying that I know is unexpected... or exciting?
- Huh...? What...? No...! I mean...! I mean...! I did not say that the lady is exciting... (I say this, when I realize that her eyebrows rose again, because she thought my remark was now that she was not someone interesting). I mean... the lady is... a person... an ambassador...! Anyway...! I meant that the missions are very exciting... and unexpected... and... else... addition!
- So you think exciting to see the death of people during military missions? (the ambassador asks me, to my utter dismay).
- Killing...? No... I do not think death... exciting! I am peace... life and I think something very important... the beauty... nature...
- Well! Ladies and gentlemen let's sit down and discuss the details of the mission (Gen. interrupts already looking at me not very nice). Our time is very short! And you need to prepare for this trip!

The admiral sits at one end of the desk. Sabino and Everardo accelerated pace and they sit together on one side of the table, leaving it to me to stay next to the ambassador and therefore the other side of the table. But I preferred to stay at the other end of the table. I do not want to be this close it. Ambassador triggers your notebook and thus the image projector is triggered, directly hitting my eyes. The Admiral asks me to get out there:

- Fernando! Would not it be better to sit next to the Ambassador so that you too can see what she has to show us and for all of us here also we can see the image projected on the screen?

I put my hands over my eyes, because of the strong light from the projector, I get up there.

- Ahhh...! Yes, sir...! You are right...! Beside the ambassador, right...? Sure...! (I say, all jumbled).

I stand there while Ambassador Chin-Mae smiled at me. She enters the password and she seeks the satellite photos of North Korea. I felt that amazing and wonderful scent... immediately... it made me sneeze. I have rhinitis! I am allergic to Perfumes. Nevertheless I could see those beautiful hands, long thin that typed the keyboard softly, as if a pianist was playing his enchanting music. The voice of that mermaid eastern bewitched me with its presence. She now begins to talk about how we'll get into the enemy's country!

- Well, gentlemen! None of our allies may be positioned on the battlefield to attack before we hung up the transmission tower North Korean (she says). If the allied fleet surrounding North Korea from all sides at the moment, this will be considered by the enemy an explicit declaration of war! Therefore, we should get to the center of the enemy country and our allies advise you to begin the attack.
- Where is the transmission tower that we should tackle? (I, Fernando, question).
- That is what I will show you now! There is a large river in central North Korea, the Taedong, which is the only way to penetrate to a boat deep in the heart of the country (Chin-Mae, the ambassador, reports). But there is a long concrete block which prevents ships and submarines passing through there. You need a written authorization from the local army to enter. There is a tight funnel passage, with huge doors restraint, which prevents the passage until everything is properly authorized. The soldiers are armed well on all sides and the entire length of the existing concrete barrier. I do not know that technology can enable you to get by here without you to be seen. Unless you can fly or you become totally invisible!?!?
I, Fernando, sneeze again, because the scent of Chin-Mae.
- Stay calm, ambassador! We'll get in without being seen (Admiral stated firmly).
- Since we can pass around, the way will be open for the final phase of the mission (She continues). The main towns are North Korean shores this rioo which has over four hundred kilometers where we'll be. A huge amount of armed soldiers will be spread over both banks during our passage. Then we'll have to get to the first dam, which is a few miles after the town of Kanch'am. But here the waters start to get very shallow and larger boats can easily run aground, destroying the chance of mission work.
- This will not be a problem, ambassador. Our boat is also hovercraft and so it can float on a cushion of air, and this enables us to walk even on flat land (Gen. Figueiredo states).
- From then on the path is only done on horseback or bike up the hill. There is a tower activation of nuclear weapons which we will have to destroy! But the place is patrolled by some armed soldiers. A fixed guard is installed near the tower. We have to eliminate it quickly in order to get up the tower so we can destroy the device manually.
- We have the bikes inside our boat. But it would be better to launch a missile directly at the transmission tower, and so we need not leave the inside of the boat? (Sabino questions).
- The location of the tower is tall and wedged between two mountains (the ambassador states). The tower was positioned so that it pointed directly to the office of dictator Kim Jong-un. Specifically in this region, and only here, there are various sensors which detect the presence of missiles coming in this direction. Any attempt to blow up the tower in this way, it would detonate the nuclear rocket launch against the United States. We'll need to disable the device manually.

Now the cell phone of the Ambassador plays a well-known Brazilian samba. She smiled sweetly at us and says:

- I love the Brazilian samba!

Chin-Mae take the phone out of her purse and she watches the display. Soon after she declares us:

- Excuse me! This is a link I have to meet. Is there somewhere more private so I can get?

Go to the desk and my advisor will open the side door of a small room (the admiral comments already rising from his chair and he walks to the door of his room. He opens it and points to the door of another room out there). Feel free there, ambassador.
I, Fernando, sneezing again.

- Excuse me! (she says and then she comes out of our environment).

The admiral looks directly at his side who is out there and, with a gesture of his hand, he says him to open the parlor for Chin-Mae.
I can not stop looking at every detail with my sculptural silhouette that beautiful oriental.
My mind now browsing with the movement of the hips of the woman with whom I'll be hours and hours in the coming days.
I will be very difficult to concentrate on my ethics and professionalism.

- Sabino! Here at the landing point, the way that the ambassador has proposed about ten miles away (Everardo informs). If we were motorcycle roads in the region crossing the bridge over the river, and then up the roads near the transmission tower, only we would walk five miles and we could tow the soldier spider behind the bike, like Fernando did in Tabatinga.
In the meantime in the admiral back to his table, now listening to the conversation of the two corporals.
- You're right, Everardo! (Sabino agree). But even so the distance would be great. It is likely that the batteries do not hold on soldier spider so long! We will have to take an extra battery for safety!
- It is a good idea, Sabino. If we had also a light weapon, as the electromagnetic cannon of our boat, we would not need to climb the tower transmission. Would be sufficient we shoot against it with this weapon and so we would have destroyed the circuit of such a device. Work fast, easy and discreet, because such a weapon does not make a loud noise, but It is only a low hum!
- It was good you have commented on the need for this weapon, Sabino! (Admiral states). By coincidence we just develop something like this which will be installed on soldier spider. But since you need it now, you will have to install it yourself while traveling. We will not have time to do it and test it beforehand. The boat will not stop until it reaches to North Korea!
- This weapon has been tested, sir? (Everardo inquires).
- Yes. It works over a limited distance, Corporal! (Admiral states). I'll ask our team of external works take this and other new materials and devices for the boat unseen, when our passage through Manaus. The soldiers will be on board the vessel until their encounter with you, near the mouth of the Amazon River in Par� So they install it forth some of these innovations for the trip.
- Great idea, sir! (Sabino states).
- One more thing, guys! (Admiral information). Two North Korean spies tried to break into our secret base of boat control invisible. One was killed and another was captured. He is being questioned at this time. We want to know how they found the location of our base. But one thing we already know! The country of them know of the existence of our invisible boat and we're on the way to the nuclear mission.
- Damn! This is not good! (I, Fernando, promise). Our mission may already be compromised!

Now comes the ambassador again in our room and she says:

- Gentlemen. I have bad news! North Korea is mobilizing all its army, navy and air force for war. China, South Korea, Japan and the United States are predicting that in fifteen days at most, an armed conflict can not start at all land borders and nautical. But this time we are not we going to provoke this war. The mission may no longer be viable after that. We have to get there before the commencement of such widespread conflict.
- With the propulsion usual we will not be able to arrive before then! (Sabino states).

Admiral Figueiredo think a bit about it and he does not want to talk about what he will mean, but he now has no more choice. The situation calls for drastic measures:

- Madame! We have a way to greatly reduce our time of arrival to North Korea (admiral comments). Our boat has a rocket installed on the back which can propel us at blazing speeds! So we arrive in a few hours until the conflict zone.
- Good, admiral! (Ambassador rejoices). That would be crucial so that we can avoid the worst! So we do not need more than the allied armies and navies remain hidden, since the threat is coming directly from Kim Jong-un. We can put our original plan into practice, militarily surrounding the North Koreans without them wary of an invasion of the territory. If what you're suggesting is even possible, we can still save the mission!
- Sir! We have not tested the system enough thrust rocket! (Everardo states). It may overheat and explode, killing everyone, thus destroying the chance of us avoid conflict in the Asian region.
- I know that, Corporal! (Admiral confirms). But if things are getting out of control in the region, we have to get there before the agreed deadline. Furthermore there is a leak of secret information and we do not know what is their origin. If the rocket work well in the Pacific Ocean, followed by a few hours, we will reduce our time and we surpreenderemos even our allies, and that will put us ahead against the North Koreans! When they close their doors to the outside world, we would already be in there as if we were a vaccine against the disease dictatorial!
- Worth a try! (Sabino states).
- I disagree! (Everard negative). We have no assurance that we will succeed it! The risk is too great for us!
- The Asian region is running a much higher risk than ours, Corporal! (Admiral recalls). If we can surprise everyone, allies and enemies, we can avoid the worst for millions of people.

Everardo think a bit about it and he says:

- All right! But we will have to monitor the operation of the rocket every second. If parameters get out of control, I immediately hang up the whole system. While running everything will vibrate and shake! And you, Sabino, will have to make other improvements alone, while we're at high speed. Will be worse than being on a runaway bus at high speed running through the potholed streets of a city. It will not be easy for you to work in these conditions.
- It is! I guessed it already! But we can throw another secret system and avoid such a thing (Sabino suggests). We would gently across the ocean.
- Ahhh no! To test two new devices together that have never been put to the test, for hours inside us... This is too much!
- Think positive, Everardo! (Sabino suggests). If something goes very wrong, we do not know we die! Does everything really fast.
- If this is an attempt to make me better... this is not working! (Everardo states).
- How long we will gain from the use of these new devices? (the ambassador asks).
- This will depend on how long we can keep the whole system running...! (Everardo informs). We can maintain speeds of over five hundred kilometers per hour. Therefore, every time, all connected, we will reduce from four to six hours our trip, if the wind is in favor!
- Well, gentlemen! It's decided! (decrees admiral). Put into action our technologies untested and monitor these results closely. I want reports every six hours throughout the trip. Make a list of everything that individual you believe that you need during this trip and also to carry out the mission in enemy territory! Do not exaggerate in order because there is not much space available inside the boat! That goes for you too, ambassador! I want a list of all the crew as soon as possible, lady and gentlemen. We have to turn it all into reality in the coming hours. Sabino and Everardo! Are you are reminded of that rest which promised before this mission?
- Yes, sir! We really need to relax a little! (Everardo answers).
- Forget it! I will ask the commander Severus increase the average speed of our boat to get ahead of us throughout our schedule. If anyone has any more questions... I will consider this closed meeting...
Since none of us is pronounced, the admiral "beats the hammer" on the subject. But before he comments on three small boxes that are on the conference table.
- Gentlemen! Before leaving, I have something to give. I got three medals, you, Fernando Sabino and Everardo earned for completing the mission with bravery, professionalism and ability to improvise in the face of adverse circumstances. His attitude during the mission ghost, demonstrated that you are the right people to carry out the next and most dangerous mission.

He then offers three boxes to us. I open it and I see inside a beautiful medal with the image of the boat invisible metallic embossed, stylized and golden in color.

- Ahhh! Thank you, Admiral! (I, Fernando, promise). I appreciate this!
- Not this one, Fernando! This medal is given to you by merit! Without you, who were inside the boat before the mission could not have been completed.
- Thank you, Admiral! (the two corporals, the Sabino and Everardo, comment).
- Very well, then! Good luck to us all in our nuclear mission (Admiral Figueiredo want).
In saying this he rises from his chair, as well as all of us. Now the senior military addresses directly to the ambassador of South Korea, who was already standing there beside.
- Madame! I do not know what are your expectations of cash within our boat guerra.Mas I want to move forward we do not have much space or wardrobe exclusive or private ladies. The shower is collective and fourth tamb�m.Al�m addition, we have limited availability of potable water on board, and this limits the time the baths! We do not have a washing machine or clotheslines to dry las.N�s have on board only one ironing board, which is communal and small. In addition, we have a major limitation of physical space to walk. Sunbathing is prohibited, since the vessel is completely closed, but the air conditioning works very well! I also advise you to avoid using perfumes and creams with strong odors, because we've noticed your cicerone is allergic to smells good.
- Admiral! I am a simple source! I lived on the streets when I was a child and I ate some food that we we could. I've always been very poor. But one day the luck helped me, I was able to study a lot and finally I got this job here in Brazil as ambassador. We I have no problem living with a little luxury! I'm not claustrophobic and I will get along well with his boys during the trip. What is important is that we stop him nuclear holocaust in my country and our neighbors. Everything else is temporary and bearable.
- That was good to hear this lady! Because it will not be easy to make it all possible. I thank you for understanding!
- Admiral! I want to ask just one thing!
- Tell me, madame! I'll do my best to serve you.
- Admiral! I want the least amount of deaths among North Koreans. They are part of our people, which was separated from us because of a bloody and senseless war in the past. After this mission we will return to a single nation.
- Madame! No war makes sense! Deaths are inevitable in a conflict like this!
- Admiral! Most North Korean military are simple people, farmers, youth, women, old and some patients. These people, totally untrained, only safe weapons without bullets. Many do not know how to shoot. And perhaps many do not know that their weapons are false. They are required to serve the government and they are not there to fight. They are just there to make up the numbers. Creating a war, Kim Jong-un, the dictator, would only increase the number of casualties on both sides during armed conflict. He has said once that he needs only to thirty percent of the North Korean population continues to live it to serving you! The number of people has grown in recent years too. This disrupts the goals dictatorial. With fewer people it is easier to contain popular uprisings. And if most of these people already part of the government payroll, so everything is under control! If there is a conflict in their country, the government expects that many of its people are eliminated. But he will fight against the invaders using conventional and nuclear bombs. Kim Jong-un is so cruel that he can shoot at him own people, if that also kill invading enemies. The few well-trained soldiers, who serve him, will protect him with their lives if necessary. So I ask you again you save the most people's lives. Even the lives of those who look and dress like military enemies!

Appalled by the scenario presented by the South Korean ambassador in Brazil, Admiral Figueiredo understand her concern to minimize deaths during the conflict. But can do that in time of war and armed conflict becomes an almost impossible task!

- We will do what we can, lady! I'll let my military commanders to act with the utmost caution! Ambassador! Is there any way for us to say to this people to drop their weapons during the conflict?

She thinks a bit about it and she says that the admiral asked:

- If we could turn off the transmission tower and then eliminate the personal bodyguard of Kim Jong-un, we would catch him alive. And so, we would show the people that he sends over the country... And we might we could tell everyone that fear turned... that torture is no longer used... and that the puddle of violence came to an end...! But I think that would be too good to be true...
- Keep believing that, ma'am. I'll talk with the other allies to find the North Korean leader. Maybe we can get your miracle and we avoid many deaths! After all, the Soviet Union disintegrated into several other smaller republics and no shot was fired!
- If you can reduce the maximum number of deaths in this conflict, I can cry with happiness, just for that!
- A list of your needs, madam, is the best of all: the head of the dictator without a drop of blood of the people! (Admiral comments). Maybe we'll get it all for you and your people!
She smiles, and she thanks to a long head movement so, accompanied by a small front tilt your spine toward the admiral. A gesture typically Eastern.
- Thank you, Admiral! His team and his people will be eternally remembered the day that all Koreans will unite into a single nation again!

Now we all left the room to go to a hotel booked here in Brasilia. But Admiral calls me before I leave:

- Fernando! What is happening?

I strange question and inquire him back:

- Nothing is going on, sir!
- You are acting strange! Something different happened with you!
- What specifically is talking about, Admiral?
- Your behavior, boy! You're acting as if afraid of ambassador!
- Fear...? I...? Sir... I faced dozens of dealers who shot at me all the time! The five avatars and computer invisible boat wanted to kill me when the system has fault! I'm going toward a nuclear conflict! How can I be afraid of a Korean ambassador?
- Fernando! It is normal for a young man of thirty get a little... bothered... face of powerful people like me and thr ambassador. But I need that Fernando I know to face head this new mission! I need professional journalist who participate in a unique moment in human history. I need you to look at the ambassador as a man... and not as a woman! Treat her well. Meets the needs it will eventually ship within that tight. I know that individual privacy will be complicated to all of you for the next day! But think of it all is something small, before the possibility of a nuclear bomb explodes in the most populous regions of the world! Think of all this as a great work to be done. I know you can do better than you showed me here today.
- Yes, sir! I'll do my best to help the Ambassador and in his spare time I will make my job reports.
- Do this, Fernando! I also want to finish the documentary on the previous mission during this trip!
- Don't worry, sir! My work will be finished even on the outward journey to Korea.
