A meeting of energetic friends

[Echo 7-7]

"Mr Kazuya, it's a pleasure to meet with you in person. You too, Mr Price, and of course I remember Miss Aya."

Thaddeus' retainers entered the chamber behind him. A pair of unassuming bodyguards with dark visors kept a respectful distance from the President of Ageira Technologies. An older gentleman with balding, grey hair and aquiline features stood on his left; to his right, a younger woman with her blonde hair tied back.

"May I introduce Wynstan Bellard, Director of Operations..."

Bellard inclined his head respectfully towards Mr Kazuya but kept his distance and did not offer a hand-shake.

"... and my personal secretary, Miss Candice. But of course, my arrival in Kusari was smooth sailing and uneventful."
