[b]Hamburg, Germany, GEC[/b]

A crowd gathered in front of the Hamburg Capitol and Conference Building in a similar manner to the congregation which had amassed several days earlier when the peace negotiations had commenced. Now, with a weighty anxiety, the sea of reporters and dignitaries awaited the final announcement from the convention and the decision which had been reached. Expectation lay heavily in the air, smothering any sort of exuberance.

The front doors of the Capitol opened to allow a group of diplomats through, representatives of all the attending nations, a true gathering of the world. One amongst them carried a sheaf of papers and all eyes latched onto that stack, attempting to read through the opaque leafs. Stepping up to the podium were the two Chancellors of the GEC, Andrej Dusan and Karen Arud, faces composed and bodies calm as they prepared to announce the outcome of the meeting to the world. And so, the terms were read, the peace announced, and an uneasy calm once again returned to the greater majority of the world.
