Shuellian Embassy, Lauchenoiria, 11:00 PM
Jae Chung, dressed in her most unassuming clothes, walked at an average pace along the road. It was late, and dark outside, and the embassy district of Buttercity was fairly empty. When she approached the Shuellian embassy, she turned to the door and entered, walking up to the reception.
"Good evening. I would like to speak with the Ambassador about a... delicate matter. My name is Jae Chung."
The woman sitting at the desk nodded, and pointed to a hallway with a metal detector present it in, next to one of the staff sitting in front of a console. "Right that way, Ms. Chung."
Further down the hallway there was a wooden door with the crest of Shuell carved on it - presumably the Ambassador's office. She knocked on the door after giving brief nods of acknowledgement to the guards on either side of the door. "Come inside, please."
She entered the office, smiling politely and preparing for the conversation.
"Good evening, Ambassador Weidner. My name is Jae Chung. I'm here on behalf of my employer," she began.
Ambassador Weidner was a plain-looking man in his mid 30s, sporting a goatee and well-combed hair. A large flag of Shuell hung behind him, with stacks of paperwork and a computer present on his desk. "Good evening, Ms. Chung. We've heard your name around these parts before."
"I can imagine," she replied. "I will cut to the chase, it is late and I don't want to keep you. I take it you've seen the news regarding the Aurora Programme?"
He paused, before pulling out a cigarette sticking it into his mouth. "We've heard about it, yes. Aren't you the woman who leaked the information about it?" He asked, before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a lighter.
"I delivered a USB stick containing the first set of leaks to Laura Moore, yes," she said, leaning slightly further away from the Ambassador and coughing slightly as he lit his cigarette. "But I would not claim responsibility for it. The source of the most recent leak, however, I don't know."
"Still." He said, taking a drag. "You're connected to the Auroras, whether you like it or not. Why would you approach us, though?"
"As I said," she coughed. "I am here on behalf of my employer. Some of us in Lauchenoiria are no longer willing to sit idly by while Kerlian infiltrators damage our nation. I imagine the idea has proven concerning to Shuell as well. To that end, my direct superior sent me here with a proposition. That we work together to hunt down the Auroras in both our nations. We can provide information, and you can provide the skills in the realm of security your nation is so well-known for."
He stared at her. "While we understand the concern about Auroras, we do have some questions first - is your organization condoned by the Lauchenoirian government? If not, what do you think the consequences would be if your group was revealed?"
"We are technically employees of the Lauchenoirian government. A subsection of the Lauchenoirian Intellgence Service. However, Prime Minister Alvarez has not necessarily condoned this particular activity. She is worried about the election campaign, I think. Last year she spoke differently of the matter, before she was Prime Minister. She wanted me to continue looking into the Auroras. I cannot believe that she would punish us too harshly for dealing with this threat. Her decision to refrain from giving the green light to this operation was purely political."
"Hrm. If we do decide to take up your offer, how would we contact you?"
"On this number," she said, producing a business card, blank except for a phone number, and placing it on the desk. "I hope your government will consider this offer. Auroras are dangerous, and the longer they are allowed to roam free, the riskier it will be."
"Mhm." He nodded. "While I can't confirm anything yet, if my superiors approve of this deal - expect to be contacted soon." Still sitting, he offered his hand.
She took it, shaking his hand and smiling. "Thank you for your consideration. That is all I ask."
"Have a nice night, Ms. Chung." He pocketed the business card."
"Goodnight, Ambassador," she nodded and exited.
