Part 7: The Lecelnan Incident, 35794

A group of Lecelnan security personnel appear to be working and doing something to the Lecelnan diplomatic vehicle. Sparks fall and fly into the air, as they removed a metallic panel and crammed a square device into it. The device is never fully fitted into the socket, as the Lecelnan infiltrators gun down the security personnel before they can complete the task. "We got the bomb before fuse-lit, situation solar, over."

Voices speak to Anders over communications, applauding him for completing his mission. Anders and his infiltrator group head back to exit the way they came. As soon as they open the door and turn the hallway, the group is met by far more Lecelnan security personnel than the group killed in the garage, who immediately open fire with their own rifles at Anders' group. A heavy firefight ensues, both sides taking casualties.

Half of Anders' team is dead, and 85% of the security group's personnel died in that quick gunfight, the infiltrators fleeing out back. Automated cleaner bots rush in as they leave the building, quickly mopping up the floor and taking the bodies away. The infiltrators successfully exfiltrate just as the New World Union's diplomatic envoy erupts from the ground, landing at the airport.

A robotic chauffeur boards the vehicle, driving along with a quickly-formed diplomatic convoy towards LIA (Lecelnan International Airport, mentioned earlier). They drive through pre-cleared streets and empty roads, pulling up at the diplomatic section of 'Arrivals', where the New World Union's envoy is waiting for them.

"Lecelnan Envoy"

December 5, 542 - 14:02:04

Robert Forester

Lecelnan Foreign Affairs Center

Tohacsaza, Lecelnan Union

The convoy with the New World Union's diplomat was now driving down main street, though with little attention given. People just go about their daily lives, buying items from stores, driving around in their relatively primitive hovercars, and generally existing, showing no resistance to the diplomatic convoy. It really does seem like a normal day, nothing wrong at all-

The convoy soon begins to pull up to the Foreign Affairs Center's lobby. The two identical diplomatic cars are separated, with one turning in to allow the diplomat to leave and the other car parked outside the building. The other vehicles in the convoy soon park around the area themselves, and Forester exits the diplomatic limo, entering the building and passing some scanners, then through sliding doors.

He has done this before with Morostia, though initially with a much better reception. The lack of people on the streets was somewhat off-putting, but he trusted his security detail to cover any danger that may harm him or otherwise interfere with diplomatic affairs. He walked up to the receptionist, informing her, again, of the reason of his arrival, simply to confirm. "Robert Forester, New World Union diplomat." He said in his usual calm and collected tone.

These words are enough to allow the receptionist to realize who he was and what he was here for, so she promptly informed him of what was happening. "Alright, your talks may begin at 14:15. You just arrived early-- punctual for your kind." The receptionist told him, gesturing for him to take a seat. He nodded, though he raised an eyebrow at what she said and sat down on the chair. He reclined back a little, and his security detail were sitting around him or generally keeping watch of his surroundings.

A little while later, the receptionist nodded to him and gestured to the far left, where elevators were located. He stood, thanking her, before gesturing to his security detail to follow. They did, reaching the elevators again, just like Morostia, though the elevator had a sleeker and more modern cyberpunk appearance. The trip was much swifter than in Morostia, with a much improved thaumaturgical A/C unit in the elevator.
