Bab 116: Chapter 32
The Infnite Sunrise hotel, a couple of hours later...
This grand stellar hotel orbiting the sun can said to be one of its kind. It has a large long central beam which holds and supports much of its structure. This long and thick central beam has all kinds of uses, either an elevator, passage hall, or an emergency space craft, it can do it all.
Surrounding this beam structure are large circles filled with glass walls. This is where the rooms, kitchen, and almost everything related to the hotel functionality.
On the tip of the whole structure, a large sphere can be seen. This sphere houses the rooms that are either used for meetings, conferences, seminars, or something else.
Inside this large sphere are the delegates from the alien civilization. Including, their personal guards of amazon looking women warriors.
The conference room is hastily acquired and designed based on the standard diplomatic theme. The hall are filled with white cloths designed to form an arch. The chairs are comfortable, made up of high quality fabric, and cotton, it's great for the ass and doesn't put much stress to it.
The atmosphere inside the conference hall is heavy. The human delegation lead personally by the Prime Minister are sizing the envoys of the aliens. They closely observed them, each movement, mannerisms, the way they breath, how many times they've blinked, and many more. They acted like some sort of a creep obsessed on someone they can never truly be with.
No one dared to speak first, the third party which acts like the overseer of this diplomatic meeting, didn't know whether to start this whole meeting or what. After some more time of a constant staring contest. The mediator coughed slightly to gather everyone's attention.
"I am... the mediator for this diplomatic conference. You two can now, uhm, start." his words screamed awkwardness. Even he gotta say that his words are full of that weird awkward aura.
An envoy of the aliens chuckled on her mind. She never expected them to be like this, to be this awkward. Instead, from the observation she had on the attitude of the captain of the ship earlier, she expected them to be more solid or angry or something like that.
But before this envoy can speak, the head envoy of their team coughed and laid her hands on the table and started speaking.
"We are from the Asari civilization, a race part of the Citadel Council. We've come here to have a heart to heart talk." the woman had an interesting voice, it's that sort of thing that has equalizer and an echo. It didn't exactly sounded like a robot or machine, but it's extremely weird to the ears.
"We're from the United Nations of Earth. We are humans, and I'm the Prime Minister." the Prime Minister stood up and extended his hands for a shake.
The head envoy looked around, and out of respect or probably formalities she too stood up and extended her hands.
However, out of her expectations, the Prime Minister suddenly picked it up and shook it lightly while having this amicable smile.
The Primw Minister then let loosed of the hand and sat down and signalled for the head envoy to sit down too which the head envoy did so too.
The atmosphere returned to the awkward one, but this time it's much lighter not the kind of atmosphere earlier.
The Prime Minister seeing this, gathered his courage and started speaking. He coughed and his facial expression immediately changed.
"On behalf of our race, we as- no! We demand to know why is our innocent and defenseless colonization ship got shot down? You need to provide explanations!" his voice was pretty aggressive. He immediately ascertained his stance to that of someone that wanted serious payments from what happened.
"We may be part of the Citadel but we've tried to prevent that incident from happening. It's the collective decision of the other races that paved the way for that event to happen please understand." cleared the head envoy as she pulled out a tablet from god knows where and slowly slided it to the Prime Minister in front of her.
"Written there are the demands of the whole Citadel. It's written in English, and it contains the following clauses. One is you must join the Citadel first and foremost, the second is..." she started outlining and summarizing the whole document.
"...Lastly, we want the blueprints to what you call as the string engine." the ling speech ended with the frown on the Prime Minister's face visible.
The other men in the group of the Prime Minister too have a varying facial expression, ranging from annoyance to anger.
"You know we can't accept any of this except the trade agreement am I right?" the Prime Minister voiced out his opinion to the head envoy who just chuckled.
"You risk a war against basically the whple galaxy Mr. we know you can't win it. Just accept the offer and the benefits you'll reap will surely be immense beyond belief." the head envoy had a way with words that's for sure. She has this comfortable aura surrounding her that will make you want to agree and do anything for her.
A close confidant to the Prime Minister moved in and whispered something to him.
"Sir, I think, it isn't that bad. We can be under their umbrella and be protected from all the threats this galaxy many pose." the confidant was the Minister of Economy. When the term "trade deal" was heard. His greediness came into play almost immediately.
The Prime Minister didn't bother listening to him. He knows that this minister of his is greedy, but he's absolutely capable. He has enacted useful and almost timeless economic reforms. He's basically a legend akongst economists.
"I, I need to think this true. Can we meet here again tomorrow?" the Prime Minister asked and the head envoy just nodded.
They parted their ways and the Asarian envoys was lead to their own suite somewhere in the highest of the rooms for a rest.
But as they're walking, someone or something is clearly tailing them closely. They moved gracefully, using some fantastical camouflage technology and many more tools at their disposal.
They wear weird looking masks. The masks is colored white and has this facial expression showing either sadness, happiness, anger, and many more. It particularly became more weird or creepy depends on how you view it, when it's partnered with an iconic black suit with the pin designed as an eagle pinned on the collar.
They tailed them and the oblivious envoys happily talked between themselves on their own language.
This tailing continued on for about a minute more or two and ended when the envoys entered their large suite.
The suite is particularly large, it can house more than 10 people all at once and can also expand depends if you want it.
A large view of the sun through the large curved windows, the whole vibe you'll get from the suite is that it's basically a rich man's Master's bedroom expanded to become a whole apartment.
The creepy men who tailed the envoys easily entered the suite undetected through some legitimate space bending or tearing means.
The creepy men numbered 5, 3 men and 2 women. A woman as their leader. She has the mask of pouting, making her look, creepingly cute.
The plan is pretty simple. As there's 10 envoys including the head envoy, they'll each disable two including the guards. Round them up on the living room and begin their own version of diplomacy.
An easy plan.
The leader of the group inhaled and exhaled before cocking a standard issue blaster pistol. The pistol can eliminate everything and everyone that stands in its way, except for the obvious items of course.
She breathed slowly and injected something in her bloodstream through some weird mechanisms directly augmented in her body. The fluid inside is color blue, it occasionally bubbles. But when it comes into contact with the blood, something weird happens.
The other members of the group also injected similar fluid and they all breathed heavily. They inhaled and exhaled heavily before returning back to normal.
The difference isn't obvious on the outside, but they've already changed by a large margin.
The leader of the group cracked her fist and neck before signalling the start of the operation.
Diplomacy is about to begin...
