Sebastian had clearly stated that they came in peace. No weapons had been drawn. No threats had been made. The receptionist had calmly relayed the request for a meeting… nothing more, nothing less. And yet, within minutes, Imperial Haven had activated its full battle protocol.

To be fair, the security officer couldn't really be blamed. He had no idea that this group of black-clothed visitors bore no connection to the previous attack that had haunted the organization. The figures on the camera looked too similar. Their dark battle suits, the masks, the commanding presence… they triggered old memories and even older fears.
