LH / CR / IMG - Ceasefire Negotiations, Barrier Gate, Coronado

[Byron]

With a slight delay, another figure would hastily traverse the hallway leading to the conference room in which the other participants of the meeting were already residing in. A young man, brown hair, three day's growth of beard, leather jacket over a somewhat crumpled shirt. He didn't exactly make the impression of an expert in his line of business from an outsider's perspective, as Liam Byrne's colleagues were more often than not wearing the most fashionable suits imaginable. In fact, the IMG ambassador wouldn't have been thought one if it wasn't for the IMG emblem sewn in his jacket. The overall stature of the man, with his breast out and swelled with pride, the logo almost seemed to flaunt its colors. It was definitely the contradiction of a stereotype view that offered itself to the participants when he entered the room with the large white table in its center as the ambassador had a certain juvenile appearance. Only the obligatory attaché case with notes in it indicated in which sort of business he was working. With him were a few of his co-workers from the IMG embassy, however who he also had in wake was the Chief Of Security Jean-Michel Bechard from the Barrier Gate Security who had expressed his wish to voice his thoughts to the matter as well.

With a captivating smile, he stood in front of the table, his hands laid down onto it, however as soon as his voice piped up he would remove them from there and subconsciously start gesticulating to emphasize on his words. Looking through the round, briefly nodding at the Frumentarii delegacy consisting of O'Riley, his facial play looking a bit surprised for the hint of a second upon seeing the projection of Nicole Hunter, it would make his smile widen a little more upon the challenge that had been enjoined him to deal with, to negotiate a ceasefire or peace treaty between two of IMG's good allies. "Ladies and gentlemen", he began speaking, disregarding the notes he had made prior. "First of all, I wish to apologize for the slightest delay that occured, however now that our small round is finally complete, let me introduce myself very quickly. My name is Liam Byrne, official Ambassador of the Independent Miner's Guild and I will be the one chairing this meeting today. It is by all means a great honor for both me and my colleagues beside me to be with you all and to be able to discuss such an impendingly important matter in such a secluded, and hopefully productive way. I believe Barrier Gate Station is a brilliant place to do such, which is why I would like to thank its personnel beforehand for actually enabling this meeting to take place." He paused for a second, looking through the round again. "The IMG has a long tradition in offering meetings in which its various business partners could discuss their standpoints and find good ways to work together on their own. I'm sure this meeting will show just as much fruition as the ones the Guild had already held in the past."

He had been quite serious during his opening speech, however now his stature turned more slack, as he had been told the Chief Of Security wanted to address some words as well. "Enough from my side now though, before we get down to the actual discussion I would like to pass the floor to Mister Bechard, Security Chief of the Barrier Gate Security, which as I already said is hosting this meeting." That being said, he would - although a little reluctantly - step aside to give his co-speaker room for his own speech.
