The Lane Hacker wing submited its credentials. A few moments later it received a positive reply and initiated the automatic docking sequence.
Morioka being located so close to Leiden is a frequent destination for the Lane hackers. Thus the travel for the group was neither long nor dangerous.
But that was not the only difference the Lane Hackers had compared to all the other guests. They were also the only group that did not receive a direct and formal invitation from the Gen'an Chrysanthemums. Instead they received the information about the festival from the main Sisterhood. After inquiring they eventually received an invitation, but the initial omission was obviously a hidden insult from the Gen'an, and the Lane Hackers delegation was well-aware of it.
Typically fashioned in a business suit that was all the rage back in the 810s, Wolfgang Weisen was walking ahead of his team, as the most senior Hacker. Knowing Morioka too well, the team arrived at the main hall just a few minutes after docking.
Before entering however there was a small reception, to verify approved guests and help them with anything else they might have needed.
"Emissary Wolfgang Weisen, of the Lane Hackers." the middle-aged man said with an obvious Rheinland accent. He also seemed pleased with himself.
