It was the middle of the day in Gingdale as Ceves was riding the elevator up the elevator of the new Murton Industries headquarters. The city had been expanded upon to a large city filled with sky scarpers, hotels, and many businesses spanning the system. Ceves was wearing a black suit jacket, a black tee shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a pair of sunglasses, and a pair of black sneakers.
He got off on the top floor and walked through the office, greeting everyone that he saw. The office had dark carpeting, dark red walls, and a white ceiling with a series of black cubicals around them decorated by each of the workers there.
"Hey Cev," said Certainia as she walked up to him. She was wearing a black suit jacket with a red shirt, a pair of black pants, and a pair of black shoes.
"Hey Cert, what's up?" Asked Ceves as he kept walking to his office.
"Hey, Temp Boss," said a worker.
"Yo, whattup?" Asked Ceves.
"Cev, you sure that this is the best color scheme for this?" Asked Certainia to him.
"Well it's too late to change that now isn't it?" Asked Ceves. "Anyways, how all here likes the color scheme?"
"Could be brighter," said a worker.
"I like the free design parts," said another worker.
"Got it, we'll add more lights, maybe a brighter red or something," said Ceves as he looked around.
"Cev, leave the interior design to me," said Certainia as she walked with him to his office. "As your assistant and soon to be wife."
"I haven't proposed yet," said Ceves.
"And you're taking your sweet ass time on that one. But, anyways, back on track here. You need to leave some of that design stuff to me. You have to run the company."
"Yeah, you're right... Besides, work's hell enough already. Guess we shouldn't paint it like we're there."
"Yeah, speaking of hell... Werlan and Lucno are in your office."
"Oh, yeah, that's fine. I know why they're here." Ceves opened the door to his office to find Werlan and Lucno already in their seats. His office had the same carpeting, walls, and ceiling as the rest of the building, except with one wall being nothing but windows. There was a large oak wood desk in the center of the room with a series of dark leather chairs around them.
Werlan was wearing an olive-green suit with a black tie and black shoes. Lucno was wearing a similar suit jacket, shirt, and tie but with with a skirt instead of pants.
"General, General's secretary and lover," said Ceves as he walked behind his desk.
"Cev, you can cut the theatrics," said Werlan. "You know why we're here."
"Yeah, yeah. You need to buy more guns," said Ceves. "Cert, how's production been?"
"It's been picking up a lot," said Certainia. "But It'll take some time to get to the requirements that they want."
"Look, Cev, Tendro's out of the office and sent us," said Lucno. "You can play your zeatrics all you want. But just cut to ze point."
"...Touchy... Look, the military is growing faster than out weapons factories. So, I can't just magically make all of these weapons appear out of nowhere. It'll take some time. And if you need it by that time frame then it'll be hard. We'd have to divert some people from other lines to making the weapons and that's easier said than done."
