Chapter 300: Two Worldviews
Cole came to the Guild Hall.
Kai learned about it not from a formal notice but from a message passed through the duty officer at the front desk: a visitor from the western hemisphere, GeneCorp affiliation, requesting a conversation at Kai's earliest convenience.

Earliest convenience generally meant now.
They used the side meeting room off the east wing. Smaller than the formal documentation space, with a table that fit four and a window facing the guild yard. Neral had arranged it without being asked. Kai had the sense Neral had been expecting this request for at least two days.
Harren Cole arrived precisely at the agreed time.
