The opening of the Deralian Embassy in the downtown region of the capital city of Volus was still seven days away, and Lucia, who had arrived early, found herself working out of a temporary office recently leased for the duration of construction. Aside from a holonet connection, a desk and chair, as well as two additional chairs for guests; it was as spartan as a Star Destroyer's quarters. There was something to be admired of spartan living, which she, and most commoner Deralians, enjoyed. It had been a way of life for them for millenia, and they weren't about to stop. At the same rate, she knew what entailed an embassy, being an Ambassador, and knew that looks had to be maintained. This office was a sad example of what an embassy should be. This was her first posting, and as soon as news of a planned Blockade of Aeeq in protest of the recent conviction of the Vjunite crew, she knew she would be tested quickly. Little did she know that her orders would come before the Embassy was even opened. After a brief moment of preparation, she left her temporary office, and proceeded to a repulsorlimo, which under police escort, would take her to the Volusian Imperial Palace. Upon arrival, she would proceed to the security check point, and speak to one of the soldiers. "I am Lucia Poplicola, Deralian Ambassador to Volus, requesting an emergency meeting with the King," she would tell them.
