— Sultanate of Aqaba —
Daniel arrived at the revitalized, techno-futuristic landscape of the Sultanate of Aqaba, where traditional ways harmonized with the convenience brought by New Atlantis's advanced technologies.
Though some adjustment was required, the younger generation adapted swiftly to the new environment, pressuring the government to keep pace. Leaving security and administration in the hands of a foreign company's AI, regardless of its demonstrated integrity, would not be a wise choice for long-term sovereignty.
Daniel and his entourage were received as honored guests at the Sultan's Palace, where they were warmly welcomed. From there, Daniel used the rail line connected to the weapons testing and research facility, located beneath the palace, to reach the test site.
