October 18, 1927 1100HRS.
At the Command Ops, located underground in the General Staff Building. Alexander Romanoff was racing down the hallway.
Fixing his tie and smoothening out his jacket, Alexander arrived in the Command Ops.
The civilian and military personnel stopped what they were currently doing as they rose to their seats and bowed in front of their emperor.
Alexander lost count of how many people were bowing in front of him whenever he approached or arrived within their presence. He started to get bored of it and so he offered a suggestion.
"Come on, ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to stand up to greet me even if it's a common courtesy. We are in the middle of a war, so I'd suggest you continue doing whatever it is you're doing as it might play a crucial role in the war."
