Some time after the intel briefing on the nearest factions, Lelouch had gotten word that there was a representative of the Atlas Corporation to arrive soon. From the little info they were able to gather from a satellite they had launched the moment they got to this strange world, he could only say for sure that this was going to be a deal regarding additional forces to his arsenal. This was a good thing, they were literally playing right into his hands. Looks like he didn't need to send CC out for negotiations for now, this was surely a start. The Empire had it's own strengths, which were primarily Knightmare Frames. However, this was a good alternative, and that would save them the trouble of using too much Sakuradite. By the time Lelouch got back to his throne, he had gotten more news from one of his Royal Guards, which was that someone was trying to contact him. This was certainly unexpected, for someone to actually figure out one of private communication channels to get a hold of him. Well, there wasn't any time for that, so he simply had the transmission be handled by CC, who was in one of the lodging rooms. After all of that scuffle, it was then that the Atlas Corporation representative arrived in his throne room. Even if he was Emperor, Lelouch wasn't that much into formalities, especially when he had abolished to aristocracy system (though this is to keep him in absolute power of the Empire), but he decided to not make any mentions of that.

"...in that case, care to elaborate on what benefits will be offered? I rather not jump into conclusions," Lelouch wanted to hear a bit more of what this would lead to, but in fact, he knew exactly where this was going. Coming from a private military company, the way it works is that they would get profit from lending in their services to a form of organization, in this case was the Britannian Empire. He only asked to make himself appear like the Emperor he was. While he said this, he leaned his head against the palm of his hand, that corresponding arm's elbow resting on the arm rest of the throne. To anyone, he was just doing this to be in thought, but in reality, he kept his hand in that close vicinity so he could simply take off the contact lenses wore in his eyes. Of course, he would only do that if Geass was necessary, which it didn't seem like it right now.

In a private room, CC was comfortably rested upon a couch and snacking on some pizza she had managed to get from the cooks within the palace. Yes...the very immortal witch that gave the Demon Emperor of Britannia his Geass was just doing nothing important in any way. After that briefing from their army's intel, the immortal decided to take a break in this room before Lelouch would call her for assistance. Well...her break was cut short as she was given a hold of one of the contacts that happened to try and communicate with the Emperor. First of all, she could tell that this was someone outside the Empire as the ID wasn't recognizable to any Britannian citizen or anywhere within their territory. Second, if this was forwarded to the communicator in the very room she was in, she could assume that Lelouch was busy with something else in the meantime. And lastly...it interrupted her break. Putting down one of the pizza slices, CC walked up to the communicator and answered the incoming transmission,"If you're looking for Emperor Lelouch, he's busy at the moment. I can relay anything said here back to him later, so what is it that you want?" CC was blunt and straight to the point, that's how she was.
