"Poul, I have news for you," Amelia said as she stepped forward over to Poul's desk. 

"Fire it away, Amelia," Poul prompted her to continue while reading a newspaper in his hand. 

"The Tactical Aegis Services has arrived in our oil mining facilities and they are setting up a defensive perimeter around it. There were some hiccups along the way as they encountered a militia in the city of Taif." 

"An encounter huh?" Poul mused, leaning back in his chair. "Was this the only encounter they faced or is there another?" he asked, this time, looking at Amelia.

"That's the only encounter, Poul, the rest of their journey was smooth and successful. They managed to neutralize the militia without any casualties on their side," Amelia replied confidently.
