Sentinel HQ, BGC — International Relations Suite
The newly furnished International Relations Suite had barely finished installation when the first delegation arrived.
Three diplomats from Indonesia's Ministry of Transportation stood beside a table filled with Aerus design mockups, charts of microturbine fuel efficiency, and a rotating 3D schematic of the Aerus Mark 2 chassis on a vertical display.
Angel Cruz entered in a crisp navy suit, followed by Julian and two legal advisors. Matthew was already there, sleeves rolled up, leaning against the edge of the conference table.
The Indonesian envoy, a sharp-eyed woman in her early forties named Aida Santoso, wasted no time.
"We've reviewed your Singapore metrics," she began. "Public satisfaction scores are impressive. Turbine noise readings show promise even in our mixed-density zones."
Angel nodded. "Aerus was built for exactly that—urban irregularity."
