The barren, destroyed mountain area was no place to host a meeting, especially among humankind's upper echelon. However, everyone moved at Khan's orders, gradually gathering in his temporary training area.
Princess Rebecca was the first to arrive, bringing drinks and some portable seats. Abraham and Lieutenant Dyester followed, also carrying booze with them.
Colonel Norrett and Major General Arngan also arrived, followed by Alexander. Except for Monica, that was about everyone, so Khan stood up, stating that the meeting wouldn't feature her.
Lieutenant Dyester, Abraham, Colonel Norrett, and Major General Arngan had sat on the ground while Alexander, Princess Rebecca, and Prince Thomas were on their portable seats, forming a circle around Khan. Every eye was on him while his inner circle exchanged cups and bottles, and silence reigned, waiting for him to break it.
