Aiden was right about one thing: it didn't take them long to delegate. On the second day, Ember received the notification. This time, there were eight of them. Ivan insisted that Cassia should come because he was the odd one out last time.
She could also see that several people appeared interested in tagging along. They didn't ask, so Ember didn't give them a chance to go. They arrived at the base and were escorted in. They were led to the conference room.
Inside, there were four people. The colonel and general they had previously met, plus two new faces.
"Is everyone ready?" Aiden asked. Seeing these two people, he didn't need to ask. He knew there were some conflicts. He didn't care what politics they had. All he needed to know was who was coming and who wasn't.
Colonel Grant cleared his throat and introduced the two people.
"These two are General Whitmore and Colonel Clark. They would like to speak with you briefly before we leave."
