The Southwark Summit

[Crayter Republic]

---

In transit through the Southwark Governmental District, high above in speeder traffic and through the smog. Minister Lily Ward was sorting through a folder titled "Carlisle Treaty" flipping across to a page [CIS-CLASSIFIED: YOUR EYES ONLY] detailing a map of the Inverness system. Along with a report regarding operation "Alter Call" and post operation threat assessments of the systems inhabitants. After looking through mostly blotted out text. Lily closed thee folder and handed it to an assistant.

"Could you hand me the Harris file?" Being handed a new folder at her request titled "Harris Treaty" she opened it up to look over the proposals for the charters of the Treaty of Harris alliance. Lily called to the driver. "How close are we to the summit?" "Won't be long now, we're almost there!" the driver called from his seat. "What? Can you not see it through all that smog?" The driver chuckled as the shuttle pulled into the Mayfair Grand Hotel. The Crayter delegation hurried inside the hotel, Lily attempted to hold her breath until she was well inside the building as the rest of the other delegates coughed making their way in.

Guides lead them to the conference hall where the Kusari delegation and prime minister were already seated. Minister Lily Ward took her designated seat and offered a personal greeting to Prime Minister. "You are very timely Prime Minister. Even as a guest you are the first to arrive! Though in my experience, whenever Bretonia hosts us they always seem to wait to enter last so they can announce themselves and make a show of it. I'm sure we'll still be kept waiting." Lily Ward scoots her chair in as both delegations waits for their gracious host to arrive and announce the start of the Southwark Summit.
