A wolf among the not so naive pasture
Terran Economic Forum annual summit, Felzdorn, Brakavan Free Democratic Republic, Nadiyan Confederation.
January 27, 5706. 11:50 am
Mathilda Barbier, member of the Tel Bira permanent delegation walked hurriedly across the packed conference room. Countless corporate moguls and Nadiyan government officials openly laughed and chatted in what looked like an amicable conversation for the inexperienced common folk who didn't even get to sniff what power really is, but Mathilda knew those obnoxiously loud laughs and glass tapping against each other were nothing else than plans to keep the lies about fairness alive. "For fuck's sake, I'm gonna be late for the meeting."
She doubled the pace of her steps, her heels clacking loudly against the floor as she reached the room dedicated for the Commission for the Preservation of Nadiyan Pride, Nadiya's own powerful intelligence agency. But before she placed her hand on the handle, Mathilda looked at a nearby mirror. "Come on girl, you got it. It's another normal meeting that doesn't revolve around our nation's and the World's future." She mumbled to herself while fixing up her hair. Her TEF badge looked so out of place compared to her outfit, but what can she do? The forum gave them a flashy pink ribbon because "the city state of Tel Bira is an observer not a member".
Mathilda took a deep breath, steadied herself and firmly gripped the handle before turning it and opening the door slowly. "Well well well, if it isn't my favorite Yeudi girl. You came right on time too, I appreciate the dedication." Charlotte Kaiser said, checking her clock before looking back at Mathilda and signaling to the chair in front of her desk. "Come on sit, we have so much to talk about." She said, smiling politely at Mathilda with the kind of smile that looks more predatory than anything warm.
"Alright so... How's the things developing with the hubris meeting for that organization thingy?" Mathilda asked as she sat down on the chair and crossed her legs.
"It's going wonderfully, those delusional despots don't know that there is a wolf with sheep clothing among them." Charlotte chuckled, leaning back against her chair. "They agreed on sharing every intelligence they have and to allow every member state to use each other's assets notably satellites which means exactly what you're thinking." She added.
"Damn, they still think Nadiya is a just a naive, cooperative, and easily pushable country huh? At least tell me you're gonna grant us untapped access to the new sources." Mathilda said, leaning forward.
"Of course, do you think Nadiya forgets who her true allies are?" Charlotte asked sarcastically, taking a sip of water. "I have Edda Wahl doing the sweet talks to those ego inflated fuckers so she can make the deal even sweeter to both of us. Unrestricted and direct links to the intelligence to your biggest rivals, doesn't that sound like a dream come true for Amudim?" She added.
"Intelligence is good, but what about the economic and financial side? I hope those 'veins of prosperity' achieved their purpose." Mathilda said, leaning back against her chair.
"Oh those? We like the call them the 'canals of cancer'. We laid more than ten thousand kilometers of pipelines and double that in term of rail lines, and we're making reliant on our gas and oil." Charlotte replied back, "I mean... Who would say no to dirty cheap, high quality, and reliable oil and gas? Especially for a nation that loves showing off their military." She chuckled.
"Good good, I can assume that the Yeudi people can rely on you in the near or far future?" Mathilda asked, getting up from her seat. "Because you know that our two nations have a rather long past when it comes to stuff like this, right?"
"Of course, the Comission for the Protection of Nadiyan Pride never breaks their promises." Charlotte replied back, also getting up from her seat and shaking Mathilda's hand. "Now go enjoy the suites the TEF gave you, they aren't there for nothing." She added playfully, letting go of Mathilda's hand.
"You're right, see you soon Director General Kaiser." Mathilda smiled back, walking out of the room before closing the door.
