On the second floor of Pittsburgh City Hall, the heavy double doors at the end of the hallway were shut tight.
This was originally the VIP conference room, used to receive high-ranking officials from Washington and the state.
But two weeks ago, an urgent list of requirements from Philadelphia had been placed on Ethan Hawke's desk.
The list called for industrial-grade servers, a dedicated fiber optic line, and a full suite of anti-eavesdropping security measures.
This was at the request of Evelyn Saint Cloud.
Ethan didn't hesitate. He mobilized the City Hall's logistics department overnight.
Workers removed the original round table and took down the decorative paintings. They replaced them with several massive, connected long tables and installed dense cable raceways along the walls.
「Three weeks later, at nine in the morning」
The team sent by Evelyn Saint Cloud took over the room.
The group wore dark suits, their gazes cold and detached.
