Today the management of Liberty is having a virtual meeting, this is the first time they have all met at the same time, and with time the expansion of Liberty, the number of executives of Liberty are now over 100 and even when a new part of Liberty was expanded they never issued an emergency meeting that consists of all executives. But now, because of a single company, they are forced to issue an emergency meeting of all executives, and participation is a must. 

The conference room consists of several rings, the closer you are in the inner circle, the higher the authority, and in the central circle 12 humans can be seen as they are the 12 founding human powers of Liberty as they are the one who started Liberty or their old leader did.

There's no alien in the central circle next to the inner circle. In the inner circle, there are 3 alien races, and the number of alien races increases in the further circles. Especially in the last 2 circles, the number of aliens was too many, and only a few humans could be seen there. 

"All of you know why we are here, because of the number of attacks on GT their CEO now demands we outsource the security of Liberty to them. Said one of the humans in the central circle. 

"That's not going to happen," said another human in the central circle. 

"That's right! Are they dreaming? Who do they think they are?" 

A commotion happens the moment they hear of GT demands even though they are already aware of it even before the meeting. Being able to speak gives them a sense of power, especially from those of the further circle. 

GT is going to increase the prices of the military equipment by 100% for every attack upon them in Liberty, and because of the recent attacks, the price has risen by 300%... 

And if this continues, GT would cease all transactions to all management of Liberty. 

"Heh, they are just an upstart company. Why should we accept their demands?" Said one of the humans in the middle circle.  

Everyone is looking at him like an idiot. In fact, he just wants to say something that empowers the executives of Liberty. 

Because that upstart company now has the power to destroy each and every one of us, If they wanted to. So, stop saying something stupid. Said another human in the inner circle. 

The man who spoke earlier bowed his head down, his attempt to look important backfired; everyone is now looking at him like he was an idiot. 

"GT now supplies one of the most innovative and powerful military equipment that can rival that of Ganesh. And many of us are all using their products, and we would suffer huge losses if we can't get more of it. This meeting is conveyed so that we can look for a solution to appease GT. So no more stupid comment" said another Human in the central circle. 

The man who spoke earlier bowed his head even lower, seemingly looking for a hole to bury himself.

There's no way we can agree to GT's demands, so we must look for other solutions.

The aliens did not participate in the discussions; they only watched and listened. 

The meeting has already lasted for a few hours, but no solution has been found. 

In the last few hours, no aliens participated, and the humans didn't care much about them. After all, Liberty technically belongs to humans even though Liberty cannot exist without alien technology. 

But no human would acknowledge it, as such was human nature. 

The human's kept on talking, giving one suggestion after another. That was until one alien spoke. 

It's one of the three aliens on the inner circle, excuse me, it seems like GT was attacked again in the outer Liberty a few minutes ago. 

Nobody spoke, they knew what this meant... And true enough a few minutes later, something happened. 

One of the humans in the inner circle spoke: "the GT is making a statement." He said. 

Suddenly a massive projection is presented in front of them all.. 

 A few hours ago in Dianna's office. She was speaking to Brutus. 

"Brutus lower the security level on all warehouses of GT, but increase the security level in all GT stores" said, Diana. 

Brutus nodded with a smile, he knows what Dianna is trying to do. They were aware that top executives of Liberty management had issued an emergency meeting. 

Dianna is trying to bait Greyman into attacking them in order to force Liberty management. 

And just like she predicted another warehouse was hit a few hours after, so she immediately issued a press conference. 

Dianna is standing in front of the press behind her Tiffa and all top executives of GT in Liberty. 

Good day everyone, this press conference is about the recent attacks received by GT in Liberty. All of you or many people must be wondering why someone like us who was known for unrivalled military tech is continuously being attacked without retaliating. Well, in fact, we are doing everything we can in the confines of Liberty law. No matter how many drones and Droids we have are useless, as we are not allowed to bring them to Liberty to protect us. "

"After all Liberty is under many Human and other friendly races management, they are the one responsible for the security and safety of anyone on Liberty, and GT is happy and content to abide by their rules, as it is the same for all companies who take root in Liberty. We are only allowed to bring a minimum number of security on Liberty, which is fine by us until the recent successive attacks directed to GT. And we are powerless to prevent it.

 In fact, we have requested that the security of the Liberty be outsourced to us to better protect everyone in Liberty, but unfortunately, our plea comes to deaf ears, and so it brings us to this press conference, in fact just a few minutes ago GT suffered another attack. So GT management has decided to cease all military sales on every member of the management executive of Liberty,  we are also going to cease selling military supplies in Liberty and close all warehouses and stores dedicated to those products." 

The reporters are restless and shocked by what they hear.

 "Stop all military supply sales on Liberty?

"Holy shit! This is big news, who is this mysterious attacker that managed to force GT to such situations." 

They can't wait to start asking questions. Unfortunately, it's not Q and A yet. 

Dianna paused for a bit to let the press and audiences digest what she said, and there was a commotion in the press conference room.. 

"Are they insane? How can they do that?!" 

"Liberty executives are in deep shit." 

"Is this going to affect the war?" 

They talked and started massaging their chief editors as this is big news... 

"Alright! Calm down everyone, let me continue," said Dianna with a slight smile. 

The commotion started to die down as they focused once again on Dianna, but they all knew a huge change is going to happen.
