Breach

Minister Theron, deep in thought in his private quarters, was jolted from his reverie by the distant sounds of commotion echoing through the palace corridors. 

His brow furrowed with concern as he listened intently, trying to discern the source of the disturbance. The peace and quiet of the palace had been shattered, and he knew it was his duty to investigate and ensure the safety of the Empire.

Without hesitation, he reached for the communications device on his desk and activated it. The device crackled to life as he relayed his urgent message to the royal guard stationed throughout the palace.

"This is Minister Theron. What's going down there?" The Minister commanded to know. "What? Intruders in the palace?... There is an unusual disturbance, I see. I need a squad of guards to join me immediately. Proceed with caution."

Within moments, a group of elite guards assembled outside the Minister's quarters, ready to follow his lead.
