The Cobweb Meeting, #1.
Somewhere in Cordilia, possibly an island, deep underground.

Participants: 01; 02; 03; 04; 05; 06; 07; 08; 09; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; [REDACTED] [REDACTED] of [REDACTED]. The Participants all spoke Austral through Text-To-Speech, using a form of transmission undetectable by Viliakmon itself.

Carrying the young man, the private Helicopter was about to land on “The Gated Base”. Looking over at this incredibly armed fortress and what the events he witnessed prior to this, he was in some sort of confusion. A battle was in his mind – though one can’t pinpoint between which values, beliefs or thoughts.

He left the chopper, leaving behind a small tip to the pilot. This…weird panopticon was armed with very modern LV1 Security. The lad went through eye scans, entering a 10-digit pin code within a 20 second window, remembering a weird pattern of knocks, walking through a whole-body thermal-neuroleptic scan and finally a short blood and DNA test affirming his true identity. All this was done for him to enter LV3 Security.
Finally entering LV(X) Security, the doors to the meeting opened and the young man took his seat, beginning the conference.

-P02: “You’re quite late, Blossoming Seed”
-Young Man: “I apologize for that. You are already all aware what caused this rearrangement”.
-P05: “We are. Now tell me, why must I deal with the Emeralds?”
-P09: “Such a trivial question. The Emerald-Denver. Oh, how could you manage such a task.”
-P03: “What exactly is the plan of these young moneys massively bubbling the markets of Izaakia and Ryccia?”
-Young Man: “Examining these topics as trivial which should be dealt by either the Viliakmon government or the criminal underground themselves, I will now transfer reports to you, which you wanted from me.”

A pause occurred as the participants read the files gathered.

-P01: “Impressive.”

An even longer pause occurred subsequennt to that comment.

-P13: “If I may, the situation is as follows: Northern Cordilia is still divided among three major alliances, Central Cordilia is unsure of what to do, Southern Cordilia is (for others) dead.”
-P14: “Your estimation of their convictions is right. Now, Crabry appears to be dominated by U.S.I., with some resistance from Kliegme-”
-The young man interrupted: “Kliegme is rather compliant to the Central Entente. It appears their government wishes to join them.”
-P01: “Your tone suggests that this isn’t a concern.”
-Young Man: “I see it no more than a minor conflict in some forgotten hellhole.”
-P06: “We lack any information regarding the Keyli contine-“
-Young Man: “We do not. The Viliakmoni and the underground criminal network possess enough information about that thing which you call a continent. I can procure them.”
-P05: “What. About. Bareland.”
-Young Man: “It appears that they are unconsciously working in the favor of our goal. I’ve noticed cooperation between [REDACTED] and one of your…I mean, their top officials. However, I must warn you that they intend to use drastic measures if it comes to such.”
-P05: “Are we to allow them this?”
-P01: “It is not yet time to even discuss this. What’s important is that they believe each other and that both of them are in compliance with our goal”.
-P03: “As for the investments?”
-Young Man: “I’ve taken a look at them. I’ve traced back the stockholders to who actually owns their money. They are no one important to us. Mainly scammers, stock brokers, con artists coming from families with rich assets, but they’ve been living in the Rainbow Islands enough to evade tax.”
-P01: “Dear P02, I suggest you convince the government to seize these assets of theirs.”
-P02: “Consider it already being done simultaneously.”
-P09: “So, at last. What is our assessment of this situation? Blossoming Seed, do you have a map of where we hold control?”

The Young Man immediately projected a very detailed physical, topographical world map of Pacifica, each “area of control” being full of details. “I believe transmitting this encryption to you will provide enough instructionns on what is to be done next.”

-P02: With this, I conclude our meeting.
Each of the 14 Participants shut down their transmission: from 14 to 1. 01 was left on. He turned off text to speech. A very old man's voice could be heard.

-P01: “You sure are a prodigy, kid.”
-Young Man: “Thank you, XXXXXXXX.”
-XXXXXXXX: “You’re welcome, ‘XXXXXXXXX’”.
P01 finally turned off.

Young Man: Very obvious.
P01: UNKNOWN
P02: Viliakmon.
P03: Stock market investor?
P04: Bailtem.
P05: Bareland.
P06: Keyli.

P09: South Cordilia?
P10: UNKNOWN
