Adrian only stepped into the event space to gauge the night’s success. From celebrities and musicians to the wealthy with ties to the mafia, there were faces he recognized, although not all would recognize him in turn. The Radiance was something of neutral ground for the Russians, with Adrian himself representing that neutral party, with his businesses crossing the lines to provide services to all portions of the criminal underworld. The scene was met with a nod of approval. He intended to leave as soon as he arrived, but as he gave the room a final survey, sudden and unexpected chaos erupted. Sparks flew from the lights and electrical devices, startling everyone. Indoor fireworks unexpectedly shot off from the DJ booth, adding to the confusion. Then, as quickly as it started, the room plunged into darkness, the only light now coming from the panicked glow of Wallet screens.
Adrian stood frozen for a moment, his mind racing. This was his building, his responsibility, and such a malfunction was unthinkable. The building was state-of-the-art, with safety measures to match its technological prowess. It must be sabotage. He was well aware of the types of guests these parties attracted, including those with connections to the mafia. Many were present this evening, but his building was neutral ground, and given his recent entanglements with the Yakuza boss, he was well aware of the shared motivations to avoid violence.
Shaking off his initial shock, Adrian’s instincts kicked in. He quickly pulled his wallet, activating the near constant link with building’s communication network.
"Security, report,” he demanded, his voice steady despite the adrenaline surging through him.
As reports came in confirming that the rest of the building was secure, Adrian's suspicion of sabotage grew. He instructed security to begin a careful evacuation, ensuring everyone's safety as a priority. They were already present.
"Attention, everyone,” Adrian announced, his voice amplified through the emergency communication system. "Please remain calm. We are experiencing a technical difficulty. Security will assist in an orderly evacuation. The rest of the building is unaffected.”
As people started to move towards the exits, guided by security, Adrian watched closely, his eyes scanning the crowd. He was searching for any sign of foul play, any clue as to what had caused this unprecedented event in his building. Adrian's mind was already racing with next steps – reviewing security footage, checking system logs, liaising with the authorities if needed. This incident was a blemish on his reputation, and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
