I appeared in the hallway of a hotel in Rotterdam, transported by Joe's LITV. I notice that there are two of our paramilitaries in the crisp white uniforms of the UEC in the hallway, standing guard. They nod a silent greeting to me as I appear from thin air. Joe must have alerted them to my arrival to avoid any alarm.
I address one of them, "Which room is Lisek's? I need to talk with him."
One of the guards steps forward and opens one of the doors. He stands in the doorway until he completes a quick visual scan of the room. Then, he steps aside for me to enter. Bright daylight streams in from the windows, the guard, noticing my gaze drawn to the window, says, "The glass is shielded, sir. For protection and to prevent any visual or audio monitoring from outside. However, we did not shield the walls themselves. There is a done inside and another watching the building from outside. Will you need anything?"
