Imperial Court of the Blood Dragon Shogunate

[The Rising Sons]

In the Court itself, the Taishogun considered the Consortium Officer's question.

"Agree? In the minds of some perhaps, but then not so much in the minds of others."

There were some chuckles among the Court attendees, the Taishogun was in a mood to be inscrutable.

"The Taishogun is intrigued. There has been a lack of a detailed briefing as to the nature of this Consortium."

The Taishogun looked across to the empty chair of Shogun Sum-Gok-Li, the other Shoguns shook their heads, indicating they did not know where he was.

"However, He does not feel this due to a failing of His advisors. Now that the Consortium is before the Taishogun, He shall receive a full briefing from them as to their purpose, origin, and the nature of this 'Transhuman Arm' Officer that is before Him."
