The cheif commanders came one after the other. In a span of 5 hours, 4 of them had already made it there. Now they were all just waiting for the last one them to make it. Kenji would be in one hell of situation. He hardly remembers them, and no one can really blame him.

Who would remember names when there was a literal war going on, and he didn't really have any business interacting with them either. So in his defense, it wasn't necessary.

When they had all arrived, everyone was seated into the huge dinning hall they kept specifically for occassions like this. Food scattered on the table in abundance, making everyone's stomach, hungry or not, grumble.

It was after the dinner/lunch? dunch?. Whatever it was, that they gathered around the circular table in their conference room. When the chatter had died down and everyone had settled, Warner spoke up.

"Thank you everyone for making it here, it's an absolute honour and pleasure to have you here. I hope we can accommodate you to the best of our abilities, and if you have any complains please let us know." Murmurs were heard throughout but no one spoke up.

"As you know, we've been facing a bit of an issue here in our area. A few protestants have been causing unrest between society and us. We have met up and requested for a peaceful treaty between them but there is still some...doubt, if put simply. I would like you all to give some input to this situation, so we know how we're proceeding isn't working as a threat to you, us or society." Aaron continued. Haider spoke up next.

"What did they say about their cause?"

"Well, they were mad cause they haven't been getting the resources we promised but they need to realise that we just started and it's gonna take a while to get things properly smooth again" This time juliette spoke up, professional and smooth, a drastic change from how she normally is around the group.

"Then you should probably introduce more schemes, resources, opportunities and all to the public, i think that'll help. And if you need any of ours help we'll be more than willing." Valentina? if Kenji remembers properly said, giving a small assuring smile to Juliette, which was of course reciprocated.

"Yes thank you. We've already put our plan into action but again it'll take some time." Juliette replied.

"I applaud how you tried to keep it calm between the two parties, it isn't something that always happens. And i'm also happy that they decided to cooperate with you or else i'm sure this would've ended worse. In my opinion, there's nothing that could prove a threat to us or you here. And i'm sure the others agree."

There were nods and murmurs of agreement across the table. Satisfied, the group looked at each other with smiles, seemingly a bit more relaxed that they were before.

"Great then. Thank you for your time and insight. Enjoy the rest of your stay." Nazeera addressed, smiling slightly as the others got up and went to their respective activities.

"HEY GUYS LISTEN" Kenji shouted into the conference room, looking like he ran a marathon.

"What is it that has you acting like someone's chasing you" Juliette said raising her eyebrow at the disheveled state Kenji was in.

"Oh shut up." he said with an eyeroll before continuing. "The slug people sent a message, they're requesting to hold a meeting so we can discuss the deal." He finished.
