The Usonan Embassy, Escator, Capital of the Kingdom of Aviye
Shuyin Jie pushed her way through the crowd as she neared the walls of the Usonan Embassy.
The late summer heat seemed to be no deterrent to the students, and the mass of people behind them, especially as it waned into the evening. Five months ago, the Usonian Ambassador, Colton Sommer, had been captured by the Rebellion.
Despite the efforts of the Kingdom to suppress the news, word had steadily spread of the abductions; students and citizens disappeared by the Yejian Budui, the secret police.
Weeks of inquiry and confrontation had developed into one administrator's confession that certain captives were delivered to the Embassy. Most of them had been college students, including Shuyin's son.
