The Freud Munitions and Missile Test Facility was a rather dreary building, a six story complex of concrete and steel, surrounded by a sun-bleached grass field which itself was sealed off by barbed wire and electric fences. It was quiet, the only sounds being that of the workers and specialists moving around in the early morning, carrying clipboards and briefcases through the grey corridors of the structure, illuminated by a number of fluorescent lights suspended from the ceilings.
Geoffrey Brabën walked briskly through this same corridor, carrying a case himself as he squeezed past the workers, eventually arriving at a heavy steel door with the words ‘office’ stamped onto its surface. Pushing it open, he was greeted by the sight of the waiting Omnishadownian delegate, sitting across the table from him.
He took a seat, laying out a number of plans and large papers which practically covered the entire table, notes scrawled onto each one and pictures of missiles, testing sites and destroyed towns in Frijheid haphazardly scattered across the desk. Geoffrey murmured something under his breath as he finally removed a small, finely crafted plastic model of a rocket from his briefcase, carefully placing it onto the surface.
Finally, the rep settled, closing his briefcase with a soft ‘click’ sound, and straightening his suit jacket, shifting his attention to the Omnishadownian delegate sat across the circular table. “Greetings. It is about time that we have a discussion on this pressing matter, what with our membership in the GSC and ISD. I am sure we both know why we are here.”
He paused, glancing out of the single, barred window in the corner of the room, his grey eyes scanning it momentarily before turning back to the delegate. “A new generation of chemical and biological warfare technology has emerged, and has become quite the trend among our ISD colleagues. BA has, as I am sure you have heard, previously tested these warheads in the past, unfortunately resulting in some.. problematic results. Yet Omnishadow has something we do not. A power we lack. Our government has coordinated with your government in the past on such a matter, and today, we make the shift from the past to the future.”
