It's hard to make out the truth amongst the gossip.  What you saw was a four-armed figure fire a plasma blast, and that plasma blast hit the Keltonian ambassador.  The ambassador was carried away by security staff and looked severely injured - much of his back was burned and bleeding.

The gossip is less helpful.  Half are claiming he's dead, half are claiming he's alive and another half (spread between the earlier two halves) are saying it was all a setup.  That half is divided as to whether it was set up by the Ackrians or the Keltonians.

Whatever happens, the ambassadorial meeting's due in an hour.  If anyone turns up, that is.

[Jerick]

Pulling himself away from the swirling rumers Lacrine decided it was best to turn up anyway.
He was wondering what the trade union made of this.

Spoiler: Turnot Millek (click to show/hide)

Turnot Millek is Lankton's chief aide.  He had been stationed here a week prior to Lankton's arrival to settle him in to the station.  Shorter and squatter than Lankton, he has gone bald with age, but he still maintains his civil disposition.

Turnot Millek, after a quick check on the ambassador at the sickbay, heads to the station security office to see what was caught by any cameras on the station to get a clear picture of what is going on before going to the meeting in Trill's place.

[Iituem]

A quick meeting with the security offers reveals images of the four-armed soldiers gathering from multiple different areas to meet at the Ambassadorial wing.  They used a cloned keycard to access the wing, then shot down security cameras along their way once they entered.  Smoke prevented clear visuals of the characters, and they wore masks anyway.  Notably, the assassins destroyed their own dead rather than have them be examined.


On your way to the meeting, the station rocks as an explosion goes off.  Blast doors close between the bulkheads on the Ambassadorial Wing - you are a little glad you were already out of there - it seems the assassins left one more present behind.  A quick check with security (and a ten minute wait as they communicate with their own forces) gets you an official statement that the bomb came from Ambassador Trill's quarters.


The diplomatic meeting is called into session with all attending ambassadors.  Turnot, you have Trill's datapad and as such all his info on the conflict.  All of it.

[Toaster]

Turnot Millek stands up.

"Greetings.  For those that do not know me, I am Turnot Millek, Ambassador Trill's chief aide.  As you may know, he was gravely injured during the terrorist attack.  While he is recovering, I will be filling his ambassadorial role."

"I believe I speak for all Kelton when I say how shocked and appalled I am by this attack.  I can only hope that the murderers responsible will be swiftly apprehended and brought to justice."

"Ambassador Hackra, I believe you had mentioned subversive elements in your society that are plotting some sort of overthrow.  The attackers were clearly Ackrian- do you believe this act could have been conducted by them?"

[Jerick]

"I intend to formaly request acess to a copy of the video footage and list of all Ackrians aboard. I was not aware there was much if any Acrkian presence here. It is possible, though other possiblities pressent themselves: it could have been the pro government fanatics (they cause us far more trouble than they realise), angered inhabitants from Lester who see no good coming from these talks, Mustang's supporters, traditionlists who feel any who mess with the Ackrians sould be attacked violently or even other groups who want to end the talks and seek to bring us to war. I will be conducting an investigation of my own and assiting the station secruity where ever possible. Please pass my regards and wishes for his speedy recovery to ra'Lankton,"

Lacrine turned to face AL31 with a smile.
"I have a question for you ra'AL31-K8R. What is it that those you represent want or would like?
To be clear I have no intention of offering any kind of bribe or incentive but you are a buisness man who represents buisness men so there has to be somthing you want? I only ask because I find your silence strange, you never ask or make comment on the discussion at hand unless asked.
So I'm asking you now as well what do you make of the current devlopment?"

[Jerick]

bump

[Ghazkull]

I will not accept this *BUMP*

where are you Iituem?

[Iituem]

Apologies - been away for the last week with much less net access than I would like.  Well, it seems pretty clear Kirby's out, so...

------------------------

The Trade Union ambassador is conspicuously missing from the meeting.  There has been no sighting of him since the incident.

[Jerick]

Ah I was confused by this.

The diplomatic meeting is called into session with all attending ambassadors.

/OOC

Lacrine tapped his fingures on the table in an irrated fashion.
"ra'Turnot Millek do you know if AL31 was in the area where the attack took place? I fear he may have been damaged,"

[Iituem]

The Speaker shakes his head.

"I have not heard word of the Ambassador, but his quarters were located in the same wing as the explosion.  If you wish, I can send Security to search for him."

[Jerick]

"It would put me at ease if you were to find him,"

[Toaster]

Millek shrugs.  "I don't know of his whereabouts today.  It would be good to know if he is healthy."
