The Grand Meridian Gambit

A meeting of arms dealers tonight at the Grand Meridian Hotel charity gala.

Senior Russian diplomats, and reps of a Chinese arms company. Rumors of a

major deal afoot. A powerful new Chinese drone, for use - against the civilian

population of Ukraine. Katya's mission: infiltrate. Get into the meeeting,

listen, record, gather intelligence. Entry - through the

kitchen staff entrance. She identified Alison, a carefully selected waitress, who,

though she didnt yet know it, was to play an important role in the unfolding

events. . The organization had hacked the hotel's internal computers.
