Dawn in Macro painted the sky in shades of pink and gold, reflecting off the modern structures of the capital. This morning was different—it marked the start of a day that could determine the nation's destiny. A palpable tension hung in the air, visible in the eyes of the citizens, as the official planes from China and Russia landed just minutes apart at Macro's international airport.
The airport had been transformed for the occasion. Security teams scanned every corner with silent drones, their thermal sensors sweeping the surroundings. Holographic barriers projected deterrent images, clearly marking restricted areas, while facial recognition systems monitored every movement.
