One week before the 5th Grand Concert. World Leaders have sent representatives or they themselves visit Eden City. Together they work with the organizers of UNITA and the Grand Concert to finalize details to appease the many concerns surrounding the event.
Security, broadcasting, advertising, locations, time frames, etc.

 President Breowitz
Status: Tired.
Location: Eden City, Administration Sector.
____________________________________________________
"Lady Nipal, I still find the security measures to be underwhelming." Spoke the hardly appreciated Galbadian President. Despite the hardships that had fallen on his country, and the alarming distaste many held for him. Marcus had yet to fail the Great Concert with his attendance, or upholding any part of the symbolic contract for his grand country. This year however he had been hassling Nona almost non-stop for a step up in greater security.
He had given the woman the reports from the Galbadian Garden. "The temporal rifts have exacerbated monster attacks, as well as complicating the encounters with more unusual creatures." Marcus had hoped the woman had actually read the reports. Galbadia has marked the arrival of both rifts and abnormal monsters at a alarming rate. Though such studies had only shown this spike on oddities in Galbadia, not much of a rise in such activity across the rest of the world.
"You should reconsider allowing my Garden to reinforce your security measures. The extra manpower, and experience will do more to keep the event and the grounds safe than just more of the Trabian SeeD." The youth of the world may not remember what it was like to have Galbadian guns everywhere, but the adults sure did. It still made most of the nervous. "The Buraeu could at least have advanced security measures prepared discreetly. With your permission, of course."

Name: Xaris Zeigmus
Location: Eden City, Administrator Sector
Status: Healthy
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Accompanying Marcus across the continents to Eden had been a surprise to a few who were aware of Xaris's prior history. Being back under the BIE even after having been branded a traitor and assaulted by their GF Buster brought much confusion to many. Xaris showed no sign of discomfort or reservations on doing so, and in fact, she seemed almost entirely back into the routine of her old militaristic habits. She came armed; packing Sayiff's dual handguns around her waist, two holsters for her throwing knives attached at her thighs, and her two spears in their scabbards on her back. There was never any need for the weapons nowadays apart from the occassional monster attacks, but with Marcus emphasizing readiness, action, and preparation, Xaris came with the intention for a battle if necessary.
When Marcus was having a discussion with Nona about negotating for Galbadia Garden's involvement in the protection of the festival, Xaris had been leaning up against the wall of the office space, merely silently listening and observing. It had been so very long since she had last personally seen Nona or the Unbroken members. Those confusing times for her brought a lot of restless nights, and nightmares; but at the very end of it all, she felt as though she managed to make the most of what was dealt to her. Her daughter Mai had managed to make life worth more, and despite her mental instability initially, she grew into a mature mother, reliable, and most of all, no longer a danger to herself or others. Well, at least unintentionally. While the two spoke to one another, she remained idle in the background, protecting and guarding Marcus while he worked on the negotiations. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

 President Nona Nipal nee Winchester
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I hear your concerns, President Breowitz," said the woman at the head of the table. "And from your reports, it sounds like the Galbadian forces are needed most in their homeland.." Nona Nipal had come a long way in twenty years. She reserved the firebrand's passion in favor of a diplomat's tone. She held out an expectant hand, and a young woman in a sharp office suit quickly placed a document into it.
"Your reports on the temporal rifts are concerning. I would not deprive your people of their protectors, or your soldiers the chance to defend their homes. In fact, I was hoping to use this time to discuss sending support to Galbadia." A succession of Galbadian ambassadors would have choked on that line. President Nipal offering aid to Galbadia??
Nona watched the President with a cool brown eye. Her eyepatch did little to cover the cracked, blackened scars which ran down one side of her face, her neck, and into her dress. She dressed simple and dignified these days, in an outfit reminiscent of a SeeD uniform. A black uniform jacket trimmed in gold hung off her shoulders like a cape. Her skirt matched. She wore dark leggings and sturdy boots, and carried no sword with her.
"After the Concert, we would be more than happy to lend you some of our SeeD, plus support from regular militia." She slid the packet of documents his way; a collection of both his reports, the surveys performed by Unitan teams, and the reports from Centra, the nearest major nation to the staging ground of the Concert. Attached was a proposal to send a modest, skilled force of SeeD with support from Unitan militia to help defend outlying Galbadian towns.
"With your permission, of course."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A world without monsters."

President Breowitz
Status: Nominal
Location: Eden City, Administration Sector.
____________________________________________________
"You may have heard my concerns, Lady Nipal, but address them you have not." The President's expression never changed from the typical straight-laced demeanor he had exhibited since his election nigh twenty years ago. Though his age was showing earlier, it did not yet seem he was tired from the actual political discussions he needed to bear. Anyways, as he spoke those words he opened the packets regarding data from UNITA and Centra.
His white gloved hand slipped out some of the documents. Marcus seemed to skim the relevant data within just a few moments, before his eyes flickered to Nona like daggers. But for only a moment. "While your offer is generous, I seem to detect a number of your surveys and deployment zones to be focused upon Timber's vicinity." He returned the documents to the packet. "Agent Zeigmus." The President relinquished the packet to Xaris, knowing she understood she would need to analyze the actual intent and military pressure such locations could yield for UNITA.
Despite the implications, his tone remained steady as ever. Although he did take a moment to adjust the B.I.E. lapel pin he wore. Time and again Galbadia's attempts at contribution and diplomacy have been rebuffed or ignored. "Very well, ignore my concerns as you wish, Lady Nipal. But I will be increasing my protection detail. We may bring up the idea of military aid proper during the Concert."

President Nona Nipal nee Winchester
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you have a better deployment plan, I'm happy to hear it," Nona dismissed the accusation. Whether or not he offered an alternate plan, it would take time for him to devise. Out of the way, for now.
"Very well. Clara, see that additional quarters are prepared for the President's extra bodies," she directed her attendant, who nodded dutifully and recorded notes on her tablet.
"Here is the proposed final schedule for events," followed by a batch of folders getting handed out to the gathered leaders. "Last chance for any changes to time or place of games, performances, or meetings. We've called in Estharan engineers to expand our broadcasting range; we should be able to reach more cities than ever before."
After twenty years, the Grand Concert was a truly global event! Nona's pride showed in her smile.
This is how we save the world.

"I'm glad I retired." From the whole political, SeeD, game at least. Though his proximity to Centra, and duty bound ways kept him from truly backing out of it. He was, on paper, a independent fundraiser who ran a significant number of charities that benefited from the Concert. "Nona, I was hoping we could extend the opening ceremony by roughly half an hour. During broadcasting that's enough for two more commercial breaks that we can sell the advertising slots for a minimum of 20 mil each. Which in turn would siphon more money into the proceeds, which feeds his charities. ______________________________________________________

Chaos Isaac President Loire
Status: Full of Heart.

____________________________________________________
Laguna interject with a few energetic fist pumps. "C'mon guys, this is the Grand Concert! This is about the world coming together. It feels real dystopic to add time just to sell ad breaks! With that he turned to Nona and Marcus.
"And you two. If we're really concerned about security. I can get additional measures of defense bots and some of our finest SeeD to cover the Concert. C'mon, this is the Grand Concert. We're about uniting here, and as world leaders we need to be as unified as our peoples are, right?"

Name: Xaris Zeigmus
Location: Eden City, Administrator Sector
Status: Healthy
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ With Marcus waving her some paperwork, Xaris took it without saying a word, examining over the paperwork while Marcus continued to have his discussion with Nona. Seeing the level of forces in Timber from UNITA and the positioning of their troops, Xaris likely would have agreed that the deployment was rather suspicious. But, her job was to acquire facts, not guess intentions from leaders, plus in her history with Nona at this point, she knew that Nona's goals were objectively for the peace she fought so hard for. The peace they all fought hard to preserve. For the time being, Xaris remained neutral in this regard, taking in Marcus's concerns into account as he was trying to do his best for Galbadia. That she knew he cared about quite a bit, which was why she was more than willing to do as asked for the time being.
As much wrong as her country had done, not every citizen was responsible for the destruction of many. She knew that well, and because of that she had to be their defender. At least, that was what she told herself to justify doing this. It was difficult to feel much for the average person, but she felt her place at BIE was suited for her, with less emotional aspects being involved. Easy to detach one's self with work like this, and that was perfectly fine with Xaris. For now, she remained idle, reading the reports and getting a good idea of everything going on. She paid no mind to the others that showed up. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
