President Biden paused for a moment, studying me, and then asked, "And who are you? Where are you from?"
"I'm Maximillian Sullivan," I replied.
Before I could introduce the others, President Biden interrupted, "Professor Sullivan? I thought you're from the USA."
I gave a slightly awkward smile. "I am from the USA, Mr. President, but I've gotten myself into some stuff."
He nodded slowly, prompting me to continue.
I pointed to Scholar Goran and Leonard and said, "These two gentlemen with me are experts from Coelus."
Then I asked President Biden, "Is there a place where we could sit down and talk?"
President Biden thought for a while before saying, "Yes, yes. Follow me." and he led us to the main room of the White House.
Once we were comfortable, I began sharing the urgent information.
