Early in the evening, representatives from all of the major settlements in the area. The leaders from Suncove Springs, Bridgewater, The Hub, Graceland, and Fort Hope all congregate in the most secure building on the premises. What happens behind the meetings doors are confidential affairs, but the departments are debriefed by their Council heads.

The meeting runs for three and a half hours. No formal conclusions are made. Clearance level one employees are told that peace negotiations are ongoing. Clearance level two are told that peace negotiations are stalled and the leaders cannot agree to the same terms. Clearance level three members are alerted to the tensions of the area and advised to keep an ear out for any rumors heard. They are told not to explain the details of the meeting. Clearance level four employees were present at the meeting.

Early the next morning, the caravans gather to leave. At nealy ten in the morning, the Bridgewater official has not shown up with this caravan. At ten thirty in the morning, his body is found outside of a housing unit, half buried in a shrubbery on the south end of the settlement. Investigations are being launched by specific members of the guard.

Levels of the death are kept confidential and only people with Clearance level three and higher are given any details of the deceased. Frank Harold Scotsman was an influential farmer that had been there at the beginning of the founding of Bridgewater. A sixth of the farmland that is currently Bridgewater belonged to his family. The medical office is currently doing an examination of the body to find cause of death. Poison is expected, by his blue lips and the dried foam at the corners of his mouth.
