Leading the Achkaerinese was Princess Cerys, not a familiar name in summit surroundings but she had a degree in robotics and cybernetics and was just finishing of her postgrad in applied cybernetics and if that wasn't enough she had her eyes on doing a doctorate in the field of artificial intelligence, it was safe to say that her reputation as the family academic was safe. From the government side she was joined by Minister of Defence Adam Sheppard and Attorney General Robert Westbrooke, the military side was represented firstly by Captain Sarah Culshaw and Flight Leader Irma Quartermain, the pair dressed in their uniforms from the army and air force respectively worked with this technology as shot caller and operator so their insights and experience were going to be valuable to the likes of Cerys and Adam in this, then of course there were the two military heavyweights Admiral William Rankin (accompanied by his yeoman Petty Officer Trinity Larsen), William was the Judge Advocate General, the other military heavyweight was Lieutenant Commander Melissa Bird, she was the military's equivalent of the Attorney General she was known as the Designated Officer and her duties included larger scale decision making about this sort of technology's battlefield use. Finally there were 'the big four' as they were collectively known within the Achkaerinese defence industry Timothy Cross of the Achkaerin Rifling Company, responsible for manufacturing most of Achkaerin's small arms and land based equipment, Darren Eagle who ran the Achkaerin Aeronautical Development Company, responsible for manufacturing the drones and missiles that were perhaps the most obvious symbols of this sort of technology's advancement, Edward McKinlay, who ran McKinlay Naval Solutions and had advanced the development of autonmous vehicles both on the water and beneath the surface, and last but by no means least was Catriona Rowan, out of everyone on the Achkaerinese delegation she had the most hands on experience with AI and led the company that collaborated on quite a lot of the autonomous vehicles produced in Achkaerin, she was also probably the most underdressed person in the delegation sporting black jeans, a blue t-shirt and a black leather jacket in contrast to the suits and uniforms being worn by most and the dress that Cerys was wearing.
"I believe this is the first time we've formally met." Cerys said greeting David with a smile before making the quite long list of introductions, some of whom David would know and some he likely wouldn't, though the sheepish look on Trinity's face when she got introduced didn't go unnoticed, it was understandable she wasn't used to such surroundings. After the introductions had been made Cerys looked at David again and nodded before the Achkaerinese headed inside and looked around, quite the gathering by the look of it.
