"Logged..."

Some soldiers equipped with Zhànshì Series Type 80 ICS Mediums (refer to PLA factbook for reference if wanted) walked over.
"There's no need for that Colonel.", an older sounding voice spoke, approaching from behind the cyborg. Liang proceeded to step to the left and turn his torso to face the voice. Approaching was an elderly man, maybe in his mid 70's. Like most modern Chinese politicians he wore a Zhongshan suit, light grey in colour under a black overcoat. In one hand was a cane though the man seemed to stand and walk mostly straight.
"Return to your duties Colonel, I trust speaking to esteemed guests isn't isn't department?", the man asked.

One may of thought this cyborg offended or even wanting to squash this weak elder.. though it was quite the opposite. Respectfully Liang gave a slight bow.
"Shì de tóngzhì.", Liang spoke before walking away.

The man faced McCoy and instead shook his hand properly.
"Hello Mr. McCoy, I am Shen Tao", he'd say then smirk.. yea he was about to give the full name of his position within the party, he took a deep breathe then spoke once more.
"I am head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party... I also bear membership within the Politburo and its standing committee.", he'd explain.

"Now..", he'd look at the airship.. quite amazed it actually flew.
"Where did you come from.", he'd begin to gesture for McCoy to follow as soldiers flanked the left & right of the two. It seemed Shen was leading McCoy to a convoy of black vehicles.

McCoy brought out a pocket watch looking at the time before back at the group wanting to lead him to the strange buggies. "Gentlemen while I would like to sit and chat my schedule does not allow for long detours," he said.
