Draconian Embassy

The Draconian embassy appears as a three-story stone building with dark, angular windows and a sharply sloped roof of metallic shingles, its architecture deliberately dissonant with Earth capitol design. The entrance is framed by two Draconian heraldic pillars carved with the species' coiled serpent motif, their surfaces dull under the overcast sky. Inside, the foyer’s floor tiles bear faint heat signatures—recent thermal signatures not accounted for in diplomatic arrival logs. Williams points to these anomalies as evidence of covert operations, while the President’s staff watch the guards’ nervous hands hovering near security panels. The tension is thick enough that even the portable air filtrator mounted by the front door hums louder than usual, its operation masking the sound of advancing armored vehicles.
