"Why the fuck am I being dragged out here at this hour?" Laurenz thought to herself as the elevator zipped down just slow enough to the point where were it wasn't quite simulating a fall. The thought of being so far beneath the surface with only a few designated escape routes was very comforting for the scientist and field operative the Buro had recently begun to treasure. Loyalty was becoming a nit-picky topic for Enfield, Laurenz felt the same suspicions as the rest of the loyal parts of the Buro and shared the same opinions. The Buro needed Enfield now more than ever, even if all the cards were against him. Something was definitely growing about in Rheinland, the Hessians rattled too many cages at Vierlande.

Naturally, Rheinland wanted someone to blame, they neglected to blame the Union and throw the Hessians under anymore criticism since the loss was such an embarrassment to the Military and the Buro. With Enfield's mistake in publicly speaking out against the beloved Rheinland and her regime in the Sigma systems - the government had really found its pick.



The Elevator came to a slow stop as Laurenz took a few seconds to thin out her uniform and press back her hair a bit more. The Kommissar had spent so much time awake gazing into the sea while retrieving resources that the blow-back of actually needing to be awake in any other situation just felt draining. It didn't matter though, you always looked appropriate and acted appropriate for the highest in your chain. Even if he himself looked like a nervous civilian.

Direktor. Laurenz said as she walked into the room, being waved off at the same time by the chatty-cat of a C.O. for the time being. Landers and Engel were there as well. An Admiral, Direktor, secretary, and the lead weapons developer for the Buro all in the same room in one of the most remote areas Rheinland - something was going down.
