The arrival of Jacques and his crew was pre-arranged. His personal escort, a squad of four armed and armoured Legionnaires, were forced to wait outside, although the Chinese had been kind enough to let them wait inside their embassy's gates, rather then on the still-crowded street the men had been forced to clear a path through.
Jacques entered with Reed and two of his men. He wore no armour, and handed his drop-leg holster over to the guards without preamble, as did his team. None of them carried Wallets or Landwarriors however. He had no doubts the Chinese had people on hand to whisk away any interesting information contained within such electronics, and that they would be bugged and tap'd by the time they were done at the embassy.
A metal ammo-can was handed over for inspection; inside sat three dozen challenge coins emblazoned with the symbol and motto of Legion Premiere and a space on which would normally be engraved the names of the recipients. Logistics hadn't allowed for that to be arranged in advance, but he trusted that the guards would be able to sort it out on their own.
He trusted that Reed would be able to do what she needed to without his assistance, he only hoped that whatever it was would not burn them in relation. His visit to the embassy was without alterier motives; these men were leaving soon, and had done a service to him and his men. It would of course help to strengthen the air of cooperation between the Legion and China, and most thought that was his entire motivation.
In short order, he and his men were seen to a room where they could meet with the few guards not on duty at the moment, and then those men would switch out with those on the perimeter until he had had a chance to speak with all of them in turn. The entire meeting was understood to take the better part of two hours, which would hopefully give Reed the window she needed for her own errands.
