A video message to Director Kelly, from the desk of CEO Ingrid Persson. The CEO herself was sitting at her desk, smiling into the camera. "Director, I am sorry for taking your time. I am sure you have a lot of work. But as one of the business leaders of City 31, I feel it is necessary to support Reclamation in these difficult times. At the convenience of your brave officers, I'd like to visit them, and see if there are ways that Burger Palace can meet its civic duties."
Kelly sighed, looking at the video. ââŚ.Well, at least itâs good to know that weâre the winning side, if Miss Persson herself is trying to play nice with us⌠Oh well, I guess itâs worth a shot.âShe started her own recording for a video response.âCEO Persson, it is a pleasure to hear from you directly. As you know, our priority is to keep city 31 from descending into anarchy ; my team might work with yours to designs ways to lower the tensions through your business, keeping the city stable, and profitable. Attached to this message are the coordinates of my operator in city 31, Whisper. Feel free to contact him at your earliest convinience, and he should be able to set up an actual meeting on site. We appreciate your patronage, and your help in this fight towards equality and coexistence.â
A few minutes later Whisper receives a phone call coming from the office of Ingrid Persson. a male voice speaks,â Hello, I am Martinez, Ingrid Perssonâs personal Secretary. Now, Miss Persson is currently in a board meeting; however, she is interested in arranging a meeting with Whisper, and she wants it as soon as possible Would 4:00 PM next Monday be available?
Whisper hoped his double-take and initial stammering werenât audible on the line. âAh- Do you mean Ingrid Persson, the CEO of Burger Palace? Thatâs a surprise. But, yes, a meeting should be possible! Next monday at 4? Sure. Uh⌠One question, though : Where would this meeting be? and I would like to warn in advance that I might be pulled away to oversee any operation suddenly coming up. And⌠I have no real way to predict if something is going to be happening or not. Otherwise, I would definitely warn in advance.â Bureaucracy was always nerve-wracking for Whisper, but he tried to appear somewhat professional. Why did someone like Persson want to meet him personaly?
âOh, Director Kelly must not have informed you yet! Miss Persson is interested in helping with the reclamation effort. She wants to visit you at your Headquarters to discuss ways she can help.â
âOh! I see!â He said, putting 2 and 2 together. This was a promotion campaign⌠Interesting! âWell, we would happily welcome Miss Persson to our temporary HQ, but I feel the need to warn in advance : this is a temporary location. It has been chosen for itâs position in town, and not for the glamourous paintjob⌠So the place is⌠less than photogenic, to say the least. I do hope she wonât mind? Will you also be present?â
âI will notify her on this fact, but she most likely will not mind. As for me personally being there; presumably I will.â
