Atlas City's compound had been lively lately. New people arrived every day, and the compound had even set aside a whole section specifically to receive Enhanced from other compounds. They provided comfortable lodging and plenty of food.
The reception detail was no joke, either. Every soldier assigned there was Tier 6 or above. The patrol teams in that area were Tier 7 and up, with squad leaders at Tier 8—equipped with laser weapons.
Almost every Enhanced who came through was left stunned by how strong Atlas City's compound was.
That was part of the point.
One of the goals of hosting this Federal Emergency Summit was to flex—use the meeting to intimidate the other compounds, to make sure nobody got any funny ideas. Apocalypse or not, Atlas City was still the capital of the Atlas Federation.
And judging by the results, it worked. At the very least, most Enhanced couldn't help feeling a cautious fear toward Atlas City's status.
