As a location for a supposedly secure meeting, Freeway Park leaves a lot to be desired. Lying in the heart of the city center, it is surrounded by towering buildings that provide countless vantage spots overlooking the area. Densely populated and with constant traffic, there is plenty of opportunity for those with ill intent to blend in and bide their time.<br/>Adjacent to the park is the Seattle Trade and Convention Center. If the banners are to be believed, this week it is hosting a gathering of security providers. That could explain the variety of large folk in neatly tailored (and no doubt armored) suits roaming the park, mingling with the ordinary folk taking their lunch in the area. Well, what’s life without a challenge?<br/>Underneath the park runs the I-5, the main North-South arterial route through the city and perhaps the busiest road in the metroplex. The traffic noise is strangely muted despite the proximity of the freeway that gives the park its name. The park is an oasis of relative calm in the hustle and bustle of Seattle’s heart. With a little luck, it may stay that way.<br/><br/>You notice how colorful the ordinary public can be, with different meta-variants appearing in a great range of styles, not to mention those folk who have undergone SURGE. Serious faced corporate suits rub shoulders with hip teens in lurid skin tight clothes. Outrageous fashions barely raise eyebrows, so it’s the way people act that will attract attention.<br/>You also notice the environment as well. The park is rigged with microphones and speakers so that visitors can request immediate information sound bites on various features of the park – plants, buildings and statues for exa mple. LAVs fly overhead, as do executive choppers and a startling variety of drones. Blimps display constant trid footage of news and advertisements. Occasional shimmers in the air hint at magical activity as well. The Sixth World is a busy place indeed.
