Tsarhof, Derscon

It was arguably one of the largest palace complexes in the world, and without a doubt the largest in Greater Prussia. Several buildings, courtyards, gardens, forests, all along a cliff's edge. There was no land or air route into the palace, only the underground bullet train network connecting almost all of Derscon's governmental facilities.

The marshal of the palace finished up preparations as Veliky Kynaz Tarakh Andropov checked on security to make sure his two guests were on their way.

A diplomatic courrier hand-delivered the invitation to Claudius Griffencrest, detailing the procedures of his arrival. He would fly to Maldorians and meet with the Mandalore, and they, together, would go to the GP Citadel in Maldorians, which would then fly to New Geneva, and from there, take the underground bullet train to the security station here on the Palace.

Both were informed of the security procedures in the Palace. No guards or firearms would be permitted, but swords were fine -- in fact, encouraged. The meeting was to be held outside.

Tarakh was in the main building, but Kynaz Sanin Andropov, his younger brother (at 18 years of age), waited at the platform for the train in the security building.

Liberty-City, Office of Nicolae Carpathia, head of the Allanaean Central Intelligence Agency

The young agent put the report at Carpathia's desk and snapped to attention, his arms neatly outstretched along the sides of his body, his heels clicking audibly together.

Nicolae Carpathia smiled inwardly. Ah, I bet he's just left the military – or maybe he's from one of those paramilitary schools, like the Robert E. Lee Military Academy – of course a boy from R. E. Lee wouldn't ever want to be a spy – unless it's someone like me – anyhow, probably just the military. All that saluting and marching crap sticks with them for ages and...

Suddenly, as the perused te report, Carpathia's smile vanished. “What? Claudius Griffincrest is visiting Derscon? Is Somosko certain? Or is this one of those drug-induced trips of his? I swear to God, if this is just another stunt of his, I'll have his head on a motherfucking plate!”


“Yes, he's quite certain about this.” - the agent nodded - “I looked at the other reports and it appears that there's some rumors about a nearing Blackhelmian visit that none can confirm nor deny. Nobody knows what it means, really.”

“Well, I'll tell you just what it means, for sure. It means we can't trust anybody. Not even the Dersconi. Redouble observation efforts of their nation. If they're planning to backstab us, I want to know it.”

Due to the current situation, Claudius Griffincrest opted out of making the trip to meet the Mandalore himself. Instead, he sent Jack Phoenixclaw, his right hand man. Jack boarded his private jet, and was soon on his way to Maldorians.
