The wellness policy report

The heavy boots of Ise had long heralded her coming into the bureau of the AFW Friction general manager, so it was probably no surprise for the inhabitants of said bureau when her giant frame entered the door, steering right to the desk of Hilde von Creutzfeld. It was not a nice little visit for coffee and tea, as could be seen on her mobile bike trooper uniform, decorated with the stripes of a lieutenant and several medals of good conduct. On one of her wrists was a handcuff with a suitcase on the other hand, her other arm held the helmet of her uniform.

"You are under arrest, Hilde von Creutzfeld!"
She bellowed, although a little smirk already appeared on her face and the reflection of Hilde on her sunglasses.
"You have the right to remain stunningly good looking and also to put me through to your sister. Please. I bring the wellness policy reports and have some points for the general manager."
Hopefully from here on, it was clear that Ise only had made a little well meaning joke with Hilde, and a bright smile showed on her face.

Hilde smiled at Ise's ridiculous get up as the woman declared her desire to "arrest" her. Hilde was used to Ise's odd sense of humor and lowered her head with a shy blush. "Hello, Ms. Ise. Thank you." Hilde pushed the intercom and it buzzed. "Ms. Con Creutzfeldt will see you, Ms. Ise."

Inside the plush office, Lukretia was clacking away at her computer, not even pausing to answer the intercom.

"Thank you, dear. I´ll see you later in the cantina."
Obviously unfazed by the idea that the pleasant part was probably over now, the cop entered the room, sitting down unasked on a chair for the visitors of the office, putting her sunglasses away while speaking.
"Good morning, Miss von Creutzfeld. I have the wellness policy reports for you here. Besides that, I also have the plan for traffic controls for the next month for surprise arrivals and logistics for AFW trucks, parking lots for meets and greets and other stuff that requires your personal signing for the city department of traffic and a copy for the Tokyo police department."

Lukretia always disliked dealing with Ise. A necessity for the moment until she was able to dispatch the woman. However, until she was able to, dealing with her was just a part of the routine and thankfully she was a professional even IF Ise wasn't always one herself, causing scenes on the air and trying to make plays at her and Rally's authority even though she possessed none of her own. It was a disgraceful way to conduct business.

"Nnn."

That was the only indication Lukretia gave that Ise even existed until she leaned forward and took hold of the files. She opened them and began to thumb through them carefully, taking out her pen and signing where she needed to when she approved and marking notes on the sides where she did not.

It was the same respect less behavior and lack of manners that had brought them in that situation, and Ise allowed herself a small, amused sigh when she uninvited sat down on a chair, playing with the number combination of her suitcase that had a special part of equipment in it that she never would let home within the bureaus of AFW, her trusty state of the art white noise generator.
"Do you even realize that I am not here as AFW employee, but as official representative of the city of Tokyo? If you can´t put it on yourself to look at me like any other human being by your own, as you have already demonstrated so throughout, have at least the manners to pay respect to the uniform and the responsibility it stands for."
She said, mildly amused by such antics.

Lukretia let her pen drop and looked up at Ise. "Beamte Ise, I assure you zat I am treating you vith ze appropriate amount of respect due to you." She said. "Zis is a necessary part of business und I am sure ve both vish it to be over as quickly as possible. Now, vould you like me to sit here und make pleasant conversation or vould you like me to finish up zis papervork?" She said raising an annoyed eyebrow at the officer.

"I have not said a single word about a pleasant conversation, I was talking about manners. If you had a date at my office, I would at least fully realize it, not do as a third chair was brought in by the property movers. It´s this kind of rude behavior that does not make a good business possible between us."
The annoyed eyebrow was already making this a good day for her.
"Anyway, the plan for Avalanche is also here. I have spoken with colleagues from the Geneva police. They are quite picky with security quality over there, so either you hire a local company or let your people do classes quickly. But as you are from Europe, that is surely old news for you. "

Lukretia held her pen in place and lifted her head. She looked at Ise and tilted her head. "Guten Morgan, Beamte Ise. How vunderbar to see you. I trust your morning has been pleasant so far? I am eager to see ze documents zat you vould have me sign."

Lukretia lowered her head and swipped her pen along the documents while she spoke. "Believe it or not, I am a very busy voman. I trust zat you are as vell. If sparing you a simple pleasantry is zat excruciatingly unpleasant for you, zen perhaps you should learn to use a fax machine. I do not need to invite you into meine office to conduct zis business but I have. If you are looking for a varm hello, zat if vhy I employ Ms. Von Creuzfeldt. She is saccharine enough for ze both of us, i assure you."

Lukretia closed the envelope and slid it back to Ise. "I prefer to do business vhen I can. Zere is a time und place for pleasantries. I prefer efficiency. Ve are both very familiar vith each other already."

Lukretia then smiled. "Ve are being velcomed by Geneva, I trust zey vill take care of it. I have faith in ze Sviss." She said simply. I vill have X contact some people she may know und zen I vill send you ze name of ze company ve go vith so you may forvard it to ze Geneva constable.

"Your personal signing is necessary for this paperwork, and you know that too. A fax paper could never stand a serious court hearing, and AFW is not really small, so the city government of course demands the originals back."
Ise replied, giving a little space to the necessities of the city government before winking dismissively with her hand.
"Indeed. I could get a pretty good look at your professionalism when you appeared at the first R&D, thank you very much. But I have to give it to you, you are much more polite than the woman AFW employs for recruitment purposes. Strange enough, the line of professionalism is obviously just blurry for the other people."

"Meine vould." Lukretia thought with annoyance. Ise continued to snipe at Lukretia and then wondered why the German domme didn't care much for her. Ise was quite good at lobbing insults and passive aggressive threats and for all the authority that she pretended to have, Lukretia thought she was not much of a woman at all.

"Ms. Fortuna is not a business voman like meineself." She said as Ise was also going to insult her colleague. "She is not as keen on ze details of running a business day to day like I am. I am sure, however, zat Ms. Sellers has chosen her for specific talents zat she possesses." Those of which Lukretia was still trying to figure out but she certainly wasn't going to make a scene in front of Ise.

"Now zen, Beamte Ise, if our business is concluded, I still have much to prepare for. Avalanche occupies nearly all of meine time zis month."
