"Glad to see you back, Nick," Hera, Solace's CZE, said with a smile as she shook Nick's hand.
Nick returned the handshake and smiled politely. "It's not going to be for long, sadly. I'm going to join Aegis soon."
Hera had already expected something like that. She had heard from Dark Dream's Extractors that Nick was most likely going to join Aegis.
"Congratulations. Everyone wants to get into Aegis," Hera said with a friendly smile.
"Thank you," Nick answered.
Next, Ramona, Solace's CEO, stepped forward and also shook Nick's hand. "Congratulations," she said.
"Thank you," Nick said again.
Then, the three of them sat down at a big table in Solace's biggest meeting room.
After a couple of pleasantries, Nick talked about the reason he was here.
"You all have heard of Julian," Nick said.
The smiles vanished, and the two nodded.
