Soosie walks into a meeting hall after quickly ascending through a short stack of stairs. At the end of the hall lies a set of titanium doors and nestled above the doors is a large holographic screen with a woman presented front and centered waiting to speak to Soosie. Soosie sits down in a golden chair donned with blue silky cushion.

Soosie: Paramount Secretary, Ayra. For what purpose do you have the pleasure to speak to me?

Ayra: Your Excellency, Madame President will be arriving shortly to speak with you. Please remain and hold your impatience.

Soosie: Of course. You know I am aware of the protocol by now.

Ayra: Absolutely, Your Excellency.

Soosie: For what occasion does Madame President seek me in her presence?

Ayra: Her Grand Excellency will inform you herself of what topics may be on the agenda. I can not speak for her.

Soosie: I figured that much.

Ayra: Right, right. Also may I add..

Soosie: Proceed.

Ayra: Your financial reports are showing positive cost control. Well done, Your Excellency.

Soosie: I'm glad to heareth. I hope mother feels the same way.

Ayra: We will have to see where she stands on that. You know that she expects greatly of you.

Soosie: I'm well aware of the fact of it.

Ayra: Then I know that you'll do..

The sound of heavy doors slamming shut come from the holographic display. Ayra moves out of sight from the screen in an immediate fashion and crosses both of her arms behind her back.

Ayra: Madame President, it is my honor to be standing in your presence.

Standing before Ayra is a rather tall woman with red jagged hair donning black glasses with crystal clear lenses, rosy red lipstick, and a greenish-turquoise silky and smooth dress that extends slightly passed her knees, followed by red diamond studded heels and a pearl necklace. She stands roughly eight and a half feet in length not counting the tip of her rugged hair that stands proudly, almost seemingly inflating her actual height by a minimum.

Vendetta: You may leave, Ayra.

Ayra: As you wish, Madame President.

Ayra off-screen promptly leaves the area out of sight as the sound of nearby doors shut and echo across the room Vendetta is standing in. The view of the screen positions itself centered to a nearby desk, behind it lying a golden chair with red leather cushioning that appears as smooth as cotton candy. Vendetta gracefully plants herself down in the chair and claps her hands once, which triggers the opening of several holographic screens appearing to the left and right of her. Without a word spoken to Soosie yet, she shuffles through files for what seems to be a resounding five minutes. Vendetta then claps once more, closing the holograms that surrounded her. She adjusts her glasses while looking at Soosie.

Vendetta: These figures that I am reading are.. suitable to my liking. But not quite just enough to leave me completely satisfied. You know that upsets me, right?
