It's an another busy day on the Yukawa Shipyard on 25th of December 826 A.S., where new deliveries are being accepted and organized for desired projects of the Kishiro Technologies. There seems to some sort emptiness within the station, many directors are missing for a reason. Having a meeting on the Planet New Tokyo in one of the classified offices, discussion about implementation of a new Logistics Service agenda affecting deliveries and many projects after end of the war with the Rheinland. One of primary subjects are the Gas Miners Guild, as they rejected the given accord still being in conflict with the Rheinland. This produces more complications, due to decision of the medieval Kishiro's allies. Director Ayuko was supposed to meet the new recruit, however, this meeting messed up the schedule requiring her presence. Whatsoever, she found her an exchange in this situation.
Director Kazuki Sakurai, who shall meet the new recruit on the shipyard, was already in his office onboard the station, ordering his guards to bring him the accepted applicant, "Honourable guards of mine," he said to two guards standing next to the exit out of his office, "recruit's arrived on the station. I gave you his ID, please, bring him now to me," he said afterwhich the guards gave him a honourable sign raising their hands, and holding them above their eyes.
Security left the office headed towards the location the ID card marked presence of the recruit, knowing exactly where he is located at. He was marked at one of few large cafeterias the station has, being full most of the time as engineers use these cafeterias to seek for a quick break. They were heavily equipped for any case scenario for a reason, as the station was filled up with their presence.
After several minutes of passing through many corridors, the escorts of the newly accepted applicants entered the cafetaria he was located in. It wasn't hard to pass through this mass of people, not everyone belonging to the Kishiro Technologies. Nobody seemed to have noticed the guards as they were passing by. They noticed Dr. Abe Saborou sitting calmly, probably anticipating an ocassion like this one. They came close enough to his table, not wanting to scare him by any means. One of the escorts spoke, "Konnichiwa honourable Dr. Abe Saborou.", afterwards he looked at them knowing what's this all about, "we were ordered to meet up with you, and escort you to Director's office, he's patiently waiting for you," one of the guards said as both of them were raising their hand above their eyes, giving a honourable greeting.
To say that security of that place was tight would be an understatement. Especially for someone who has never seen life outside academia. Indeed, Aborou had never witnessed an armed guard roam freely his place of employment. They may have had a police officer visit The New Tokyo Univertisty of Technlogy from time to time, but that was it. Nevertheless their presence was totaly understandable. Hijo cloud was not exactly light years away from that place, and, knowing the house's troubled past, sooner or later you will find an extremist out there, to whom the temptation will be just too strong...
But how did he get here? Things at The University were not sunshine and rainbows, at least not now. Funds of the Reformed Empire of Kusari are not a self filling pot. The place has not seen a dawn of new, serious project for months. Things were getting stale, and there were talks about cutting out the staff. Fearing that, Abe did the only reasonable thing he could do. He sent a CV. Still, The Doctor did not expect to recieve the letter congratulating on his new employment just after a few hours.
As Abe walked the corridors of Yukawa with what seemed to him be a whole squadron of guards, he wondered if he could really get used to their presence. The truth was, that The Scientist was nearing an age, where, to his disbelieve breaking a habit was nearly impossible.
Minutes passed, and finally, reinforced but decorative, the doors to the Director's office finally showed up. The guard signed the new employee to use the intercom.
- ,,Konbawa Director - sama" The doctor firmly pressed the button, and greeted his new superior. "I'm Doctor Saborou Abe ... uhh, I believe you wanted to see me?" He muttered, trying to conceal, as best as he could the fact, that he has lot his chain of thought.
