The day was bright in Japan. The switch into the Augment age was better then expected. Clean energy had become ridiculously common. Factories had become much cleaner as well. The skies had cleared up, and the thought of global warming was long gone from anyone's minds. The blue was blue, and entire galaxies could be seen at night, even in some brighter cities. This was one of the few things that was good about the world. Everywhere else had seemed to worse. Poverty had become increasingly common, crime was everyday, and access to weapons and drugs had grown out of control. Political unrest was the worst. If it could even be called political unrest. Governments were a formality anymore. Corporations held the true power.

Tobimaru Shinra stood at the top of his tower in Tokyo. His office was overly large for him. He looked out the window, which made up most of his walls, out to the courtyard below. He wasn't really a politician. His family was incredibly rich. Receiving funds from investing in different bio and cyber augment companies over the years. Recently, he payed off all of the governments debts to any companies, making it independent again. He restructured it from the ground up. For the first time in a long time, someone held a government that was not controlled by a company. And He sought to do something with it.

Tobimaru was deep in thought when he was interrupted by his door opening, it was his personal secretary Liara Thompson.

"Mr. Shinra, the group of people you have called here has begun to arrive."

"Thank you" He responded. "Please inform everyone to let them up. Please have them wait just outside my office for now. Make sure they are comfortable."

"Yes sir."

As she walked out, Tobimaru returned his view to outside, seeing the first of the cars pull up. He straightened his tie and prepared himself. It was going to be an interesting day for sure.
