Silverstone: I would suggest locking the door right away Dagget: everyone here now? Dagget: there trouble outside? Jacobi: Well you have the security controller Simon. Silverstone: snorts, cliking on his comm Jacobi: blows some smoke Silverstone's way Silverstone: coughs and waves away the smoke Nulion: looks like he's trying not to breathe Dagget: doors secured now? Silverstone: Yes Nulion: ...alrrright then, Let'sss...*cough!* ...begin. Dagget: ok, first off, are there any new orgs or any changes in alliances to be
announced Dagget: looks around the room Ceokittymeow: fiddles with her Wrist Datapad and then begins paying attention Jacobi: eyes Dagget Wolfowitz: remains silent. Dagget: very well Silverstone: looks over at Dagget and Chrisax and raises an eyebrow Dagget: the agenda is quite short today - seems the summer heat has put a pause
to a lot of activity Silverstone: And i really thought pink boots was bad Nulion: smirks Dagget: and someof us are a bit hung over from the usual summer parties Wolfowitz: tugs at his collar, happy to be indoors. Dagget: also, at the end of the meeting, Chrisax has an important announcement Silverstone: Great, cant wait... Chrisax: a report yes... report Nulion: smirks Foosball33: types on his datapad Silverstone: snorts and taps his fingers on his knee Rhus: chuckles quietly Dagget: first up Dagget: the ongoing efforts by Omni-tek to crack down on what they call illegal
notum smuggling Hyperion5182: Is this that bullshit from that idiot from the loony bin Cora? Wolfowitz: raises his hand. Dagget: I have gotten a couple of reports of Omni-tek raids on some vendors
outside the large cities Dagget: go ahead wolf Wolfowitz: Do you by chance have a transcript of the ICC's official stance on
"notum smuggling," and also on the rights of independent vendors? Jacobi: takes a puff on his cigar Wolfowitz: I would appreciate if you could forward that to my office, if so. Dagget: we looked it up a while ago, when this issue cropped up Jacobi: I know what the official stanse on Notum trafficing is for all of us Jacobi: nods Dagget: but to summarize, anyone can mine notum, but sending it offworld has to
be routed thru Omni-tek Wolfowitz: scratches his chin, taking note. Dagget: beyond that, I think it wise we make no comment from this body Wolfowitz: nods. Jacobi: nods Jacobi: That is the official legal stanse Nulion: Might be bessst to keep it that way. Dagget: we are currently monitoring the situation, and have been advising all
Clanners to be very careful who they do business with, at all times Dagget: I can at this point only ad that I have received some reports of some
'bazaars' getting raided by OT forces lately Dagget: but if anyone else has any information or reports to add, we woudl very
much like to hear them Rhus: shakes his head slightly, almost imperceptibly Dagget: no one has any reports of unusual Omni-tek activity in this regard? Jacobi: It is a matter we need to keep our eyes and ears open on. Chrisax: unusual?... yes... Hyperion5182: Aside from Cora's drug induced rampages that have made their way
to the press? Yeah. Chrisax: ah Omini-Tek.... uh... no Chrisax: no Nulion: smirks Foosball33: looks over at Hyperion and shakes his head Dagget: I don't think we need to go into any great depth on what sort of
propaganda comes out of the Omni-tek press... Ceokittymeow: raises a brow at Chrisax Wolfowitz: I may have something. Dagget: go aheaad Nulion: Yesss? Wolfowitz: One of our field agents discovered a small mining outpost overtaken
by clan forces. Silverstone: looks over at Wolfowitz Solis: looks up Wolfowitz: Oddly enough, there is an OT vendor that operates from there with
impunity. Silverstone: Sounds like bad marked Wolfowitz: Our agent attempted to get information from him but he wouldn't say
anything. Dagget: probably bribes the local militia to let him be Nulion: ...ssstubborrrn guy, I guesss. Jacobi: puffs on his cigar Jacobi: Oh good at negotiating a market. Jacobi: smirks Jacobi: If he shares the profit and they dont have any issue with him being
there, guess it is the worry of that particular clan to deal with. Nulion: coughs, gritting his teeth a little... Dagget: there are still some Omni-tek employees in the 4 Holes region, running
theri shops with no customers, since they won't sell to us Wolfowitz: nods. Silverstone: shakes his head Silverstone: Shoot it, chase it out, get rid of it..thats my opinion Foosball33: smirks looking at his datapad Dagget: they seem well up on their insurance Wolfowitz: I am just worried that a Clan may be collaborating with Omni forces. Rhus: nods emphatically Dagget: or vice versa? there are always possibilities Dagget: I imagine Omni-tek may be nervous about such persons, too Nulion: It all dependss, asss it alwayss doess, wherrre the money isss. Silverstone: snorts loudly, holding tightly around his weapon Jacobi: nods Dagget: just a matter of being careful what you say around those people Solis: lets his thumb glide over his blade Dagget: anyway, that situation has been going on for some years now Dagget: in some locales Dagget: very well, then I think Chris wants to air his report now Rhus: What do the leet-huggers say? Think globally, act locally? Doesn't sound
like anything a headshot wont solve Dagget: insureace kind of negates head shots Chrisax: yes.. may I have the floor? Dagget: yes, please Jacobi: It can still be painful. Nulion: sniffs at the air a little... Nulion: ...hm.. Wolfowitz: I would like to extoll the virtues of diplomacy. That is all. Silverstone: glances over at Nulion Chrisax: Members of the Clerical Staff, Dear Council Members, my report today
will be disturbing. Nulion: glances at Chrisax... Chrisax: Chrisax halts a few seconds and looks embarrassed. Chrisax: I think the best is to briefly recount the events chronologically, as
they happened during months of investigation. Then I'll provide some elements of proof and
more details. Silverstone: raises an eyebrow Wolfowitz: begins typing a transcript of Chrisax's report. Chrisax: It started with a trivial investigation about social concerns: the new
form of animal exploitation -some say utilization- recently introduced in the orbital club
The Grind, and the reactions among our citizens. Hyperion5182: The leetenders. Silverstone: facepalms and shakes his head Chrisax: It became quickly obvious that, beyond well-known organizations for
animals rights, a new movement, calling itself the Leets Liberation League, or "3Ls"
(pronounced "FREE-Ls"), whose leaders are unknown, was born of an equally unknown origin. Chrisax: One thing is certain though: they are activists but totally pacific
and, so far, law-abiding. Another certain thing is that they seem to have considerable
means, both financial and technical. Nulion: sniffs at the air Nulion: ...why do I sssmell leetsss..? Chrisax: Yesterday, they even held several public protests, one of them in The
Grind itself during a big public party. Dagget: you didn't brush your teeth? Silverstone: keeps on shaking his head and snorts loudly, mumbling something to
himself Nulion: just shrugs it off, looking at Chrisax Silverstone: Leets...Damn leets! Solis: crosses his arms infront of himself Chrisax: So, to understand who could be behind the "3Ls", and who could have
such an interest in the Leets, I started to investigate the long story of our relation
with this form of life, which is, I remind you, the only native form of life on Rubi-Ka,
all others being created by dramatic failures in terraforming or Omni-Tek experiments. Chrisax: Leets were there when Man landed. Chrisax: Chrisax takes a deep breath Chrisax: I have always been puzzled by what happened when Jobe scientists were
about to open the portal to the Shadowlands… Henry Radiman came to Old Athen hill for a
speech. He was surrounded by Leets whispering "it's coming" and similar things. Henry
stressed that we should observe and listen to the Leets as they are more attuned with
Rubi-Ka than anyone or anything else. But he didn't go any further. This was the last
appearance of Henry. Chrisax: Chrisax takes a deep breath again and seems hesitating and somewhat
confused Nulion: ...rrreally? *tilts his head* Chrisax: I… well.. I went… at some point… I went to Lord xxxxxxxxxxxxxx the
famous xeno-biologist of Jobe and… well the usual explanation he mentioned is that Leet
skeleton deteriorates very fast… but… there is something about the Leet People… Chrisax: Chrisax 's attention is called by some noise nearby Silverstone: Freaking leets? how many times have we talked about the exact same
things..Leets at a damn nightclub? Nulion: sniffs at the air Nulion: ...the hell..? Jacobi: Leet .. People? Chrisax: Uh…I was saying… Leets were there at the very second Man first landed
on Rubi-Ka, but… there is no track of Leets fossils prior to the landing of Man… as if…
Well this… Silverstone: looks at his comm Wolfowitz: 's finger gravitates towards his briefcase, with his guns in it Hyperion5182: ....Yeah... I dont smell them but i sure as hell have them up on
my heads up... Foosball33: types on his datapad and mumbles "if I put the 3 there, then maybe a
7 can go here Nulion: ...uh...*blinks* Badleet: <no target> Cookie? Badleet: <no target> Cookie? Haxxzorz: Suo J00! Badleet: Poor joo ... dead goat on head? Hyperion5182: What the hell!? Silverstone: raises an eyebrow Badleet: need new goat Silverstone ? Badleet: You lubz leetz Silverstone ? Hungryleet: da leetz are here Dagget: ugh Haxxzorz: Cookiez? Geoleet: i lubz j00 Solis: grabs his sword Silverstone: Eeh Hungryleet: wanna gief cookies Nulion: ...mealsss on wheelss! ...orrr on little feet. Chrisax: I... Geoleet: pees Haxxzorz: Muffins Simon? Badleet: Silverstone Cookie? Silverstone: Oh for the sake of... Wolfowitz: I would ask that we all maintain proper decorum, please! Dagget: Chris, we need to talk about your meditating Chrisax: I... Hungryleet: me lub j00 Jacobi: snorts and holds his cigar up out of the leets reach Solis: It would seem you have a vermin problem, Simon. Badleet: need new goat Silverstone ? Geoleet: u my fwiend? Hyperion5182: whoa whoa whoa! Foosball33: looks up from his datapad for a moment, shrugs and goes back to his
datapad Silverstone: Get those rats out of here now! Hungryleet: silver gief cookie!!!! Haxxzorz: Bad Silverstone! Hungryleet: bad bad goat head Hyperion5182: Aw crap! Nulion: Hey hey! Hungryleet: Nulion lub us Dagget: I think Simon is getting bad karma Hyperion5182: ....Yeah. Chrisax: no violenve plez Wolfowitz: Mr. Silverstone, I ask you. Hyperion5182: Far too late for that Chris... Wolfowitz: Please, holster your weapon. Chrisax: no violence Badleet: Poor joo ... dead goat on head? Nulion: Sssimon, they'rrre jussst leetss! ...Forrr sssome rrreasson... Silverstone: No violence! what on Ka is it you are taking me for! Ceokittymeow: Simon! Why are you gonna be so mean to those Leets!? Wolfowitz: Mr. Silverstone, they're not worth the ammo you're expending. Ceokittymeow: tries to grab Simons arm to get him to stop Wolfowitz: They obviously want your attention. Silverstone: 's arm is grabbed, trying to shake her off Ceokittymeow: EEK1 Nulion: Damn! Wolfowitz: In the interest of Council decorum, would you please... Jacobi: Simon.. Nulion: ...Watch wherrre you'rre sshooting! Silverstone: snorts loudly Solis: What is the meaning of this? Nulion: gently turns over the body of Badleet with a foot... Silverstone: Right..Is there more of them?! Jacobi: It might be easier to use the tower security system. You can simply
target them with that. and less likely to hit anyone else. Hyperion5182: You tell me. And i thought Turbo was bad! Dagget: I suspect they will be back Wolfowitz: A protest of some sort, which Mr. Silverstone has no doubt provided
with ammunition. Silverstone: glares angrily towards Nulion and Chrisax Nulion: growls a little Silverstone: Answer me now! Nulion: What?? Ceokittymeow: put her hand on Nulion 's Shoulder Nulion: You think I did thisss orrr sssomething? Hyperion5182: Hey Ugly! Want me to split that helmet for ya. Ceokittymeow: Nuli calm... dont need you getting sick eating dead leets now Nulion: Like I have any idea why leetsss arrre in the building! Solis: puts a hand down on Simon's shoulder and presses hard Silverstone: Thats not what i asked for! Wolfowitz: Everyone, I ask you, please remain calm. The incident is over. Jacobi: looks at his datapad Nulion: Well then no, I don't know if therrre'sss any morrre. Wolfowitz: All is well! Chrisax: leets I guess... well... my report Nulion: I sssmell morrre, but then I kinda alwaysss do. Silverstone: looks over at Tristam and raises an eyebrow Chrisax: I have to say... Chrisax: one minute... Chrisax: I feelo... I msut be sure.. Dagget: Chrisax was giving a report Silverstone: Guess since noone else bothers then ill go and look Jacobi: smirks and nods Rhus: Therer is one Solis: shakes his head Wolfowitz: shakes his head, and follows sheepishly. Chrisax: hey what It's... Jacobi: you walked past him. he is to the side where Rhus is looking Nulion: If therrre'sss any morrre, they'rrre prrobably in the ventsss... Nulion: Chrrisss? Hungryleet: knock knock open da door for the leetz!! Wolfowitz: Are there any Leets in the building who would like to say something
on behalf of their kind? Hungryleet: we have rights!!!! Foosball33: Hmm would seem there's a whole in the tower security Rhus: eyes tighten Dagget: this can only spell trouble Hungryleet: we have lub to share and cookiez to eat Wolfowitz: Your words fall on deaf ears, Leet. I advise you vacate the premises
while Mr. Silverstone is still here. Nulion: ...you found one? Nulion: ...a...alrrright... Foosball33: types on his datapad Nulion: shakes his head a little Rhus: It....has a Clan tag? Hyperion5182: turned off his holographic generator. Hungryleet: no no not that person , he kills uz!!! Nulion: glances over at the leet...sighing... Rhus: tilts his head in confusion Wolfowitz: I understand your indignance, but it isn't safe for you heere. Nulion: ...grrreat, that'sss all I need. Lunch making me feel guilty. Foosball33: Umm ya guess might want to look into that, I mean sure might only be
big enough for a leet... but with the Manex system something as small as a leet coud become
a powerful weapon Dagget: *sighs* Nulion: ...therrre'sss morrre of 'em? Foosball33: looks over at Dagget Jacobi: Well if Simon wanted, he could use the system to elimiate them. Rhus: nods slowly Jacobi: glances over to Foosball Jacobi: Somehow I think he actually likes shooting them more himself. Foosball33: smirks Foosball33: I believe he does Wolfowitz: Execute emergency maintenance routine. Dagget: the janitor will be working overtime to clean up the mess Wolfowitz: 's suit somehow removes the water it absorbed and vaporizes it. Wolfowitz: Excuse me. Wolfowitz: Do you have anything to say on... Wolfowitz: sighs. Wolfowitz: Your behalf. Nulion: ...Well! Guesss I'm sssafe then. *grin* Nulion: Wherrre'd the little guy go? Dagget: ok, everyone back to theri seats please Foosball33: still if there's a hole somewhere in the tower, I mean a leet sized
bomb or a few could do some damage... just sayin' Wolfowitz: Mr. Silverstone, your brash nature has ruined our chance at diplomacy
with these creatures, and you've provided them ammunition to use against us in any future
protests. Nulion: ...a leet-sssized bomb? Jacobi: nods and takes a puff on his cigar Ceokittymeow: I had him warped out by a fellow Engineer for his safty till this
mess goes straight again Silverstone: Yes. let me talk them into leaving with cookies and tea next time Foosball33: Well yea Nulion: ...good of you. Rhus: Precisely, I would be more concerned with the Security situation than the
vermin one Ceokittymeow: Is everyone alright?! Nulion: coughs a little... Nulion: ...damn thossse toxinsss ssstink. Nulion: You guysss...might not want to brrreathe much. Hyperion5182: Helmet comes with a filter. Silverstone: First of all... Silverstone: Noone threatens me any ways Silverstone: looks at Hyperion Nulion: stares at Simon, tongue slithering out, snorting a little... Hyperion5182: I wont let you threaten my friends. Nulion: looks over at where Chrisax should be standing Nulion: ...uh...Anybody ssseen Chrrriss? Wolfowitz: Please, gentlemen. There have been enough weapons fired and or swung
today. Silverstone: shakes his head Dagget: he disappeared Rhus: raises an eyebrow Ceokittymeow: Good question... Silverstone: You dont want me to start Dagget: in the middle of that melee Foosball33: Maybe the leet people took him away Wolfowitz: A hostage, perhaps, or... Wolfowitz: a collaborator. Nulion: Sssimon didn't go and ssshoot him, did he? *snorts, glaring at Simon* Dagget: we'll find out as soon as we finish this here Jacobi: shakes his head Nulion: ...did you? Silverstone: You never know Jacobi: Leet.. people... Ceokittymeow: Simon did you send Chris back to reclaim with that blatent
machismo you call senes!? Silverstone: Hey why look at me? i shot leets and tempted to shoot that thing
called a so called man Silverstone: glares at Hyperion Foosball33: Well wasn't that what he was talking about before the leets came in
to make friends with Silverstone Nulion: snorts Dagget: who or what threatened anyone? Jacobi: Looks like it was a good thing he left then. Ceokittymeow: Who Chris? Wolfowitz: The gentleman who had the floor before the demonstration. Dagget: yes, Chris Ceokittymeow: Nothing is wrong with Chris... Though his unexplained and sudden
absents is kinda scary... Nulion: ...fine, I'll go look. Dagget, carrry on, okay? Dagget: well, we need to let the cleaning crewe clean up in here now Ceokittymeow: peers across the building in hops to see him Dagget: ok, Nulion Silverstone: They will sort it Jacobi: Can we get back to the meeting then? My cigar is burning down. Rhus: Not like we all haven't spilled our share of leet blood Dagget: Since Chrisax seems to have disappeared, I guess that ends his report Wolfowitz: I prefer not to get blood on my suit, Mr. Diversiloba. Ceokittymeow: I have no idea what his report was on so I cannot finish it
unfourtunatly... Perhaps next month we will have a better understanding on whats going on Dagget: well, I think we had best adjourn and try to locate him Dagget: if one of those leets had been left alive, we might have gotten some
information out of them Wolfowitz: Any idea of where these leets might operate from? Ceokittymeow: But why be so mean to kill something that has enough intelligences
that it can speak our tounge Foosball33: rubs his chin looking up at the ceiling thinking Nulion: ...well ssshit. Nulion: sighs, slumping down to the floor Wolfowitz: Mr. Andrio, there was one left alive. Rhus: If the Leets were Clan, I agree they have a right to be heard, but their
infiltration of security seems to be the bigger issue at the moment Silverstone: Those creatures deserves nothing else then to go right onto a damn
dinner table! Silverstone: To be heard? about what flavour the cookies should have?! Wolfowitz: I attempted to negotiate with it, but it made a vague threat and
somehow teleported out. You feel the core of your being shift, as the source makes room for a divine
presence. 'Didaigle' has reached enlightenment. Nulion: perks up at the mention of the word "cookies" Hyperion5182: Dagget is there any other buisness? Dagget: well, I think the issue is that some are not going to dinner tables, but
are being pressed into servitude p in the orbital club. At least that's what little I
could figure out from the report Dagget: I think the agenda is covered now Silverstone: Yes im sure it matters if its Chocholate or vanilla cookies in the
war against the scum out there. great, amazing, perfect Ceokittymeow: glances at Dagget Ceokittymeow: You have a copy of his report? Dagget: I'll have a log posted in the usual secure location shortly Rhus: "The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend." Wolfowitz: raises a hand. Hyperion5182: just sighs Dagget: wolf? Ceokittymeow: sits down, worried look in her eyes Silverstone: grumbles Hyperion5182: If there isnt any more pressing buisness i believe we all have
matters to attend to. Including finding Chrisax. Jacobi: looks at his short cigar and shifts a bit Wolfowitz: Ms. Hellsing and I had one of them cornered. I attempted to negotiate
with it, but it somehow teleported out. Dagget: we'll need to look into that, too Dagget: how they got in and out Dagget: can of worms Nulion: ...Don't asssk me to sssniff him out, Hyp. Therrre'sss no blood frrom
him, but hisss ssscent jussst kinda...ssstopsss. Hyperion5182: Hmm Dagget: but for now, I think we need to close out the Council meeting Ceokittymeow: raises a brow... Ceokittymeow: He was teleported? Foosball33: I would say he was teleported out, if the sent just stops Wolfowitz: Yes. There was no way he could have escaped that quickly otherwise. Nulion: At leassst we know Boneheadssstone overrr therrre didn't ssshoot him.
*snorts* Teleporrrted by leetsss, though? Silverstone: Teleported out by leets, perfect threat Ceokittymeow: Leets are not a threat Simon! You feel the core of your being shift, as the source makes room for a divine
presence. 'Dorigencrat' has reached enlightenment. Wolfowitz: Perhaps our teleporter was an engineer, or perhaps a fixer. Silverstone: Then why on Ka are you worried about damn leets! Dagget: well, I suggest we close out the meeting and get to work trying to
locate Chrisax Ceokittymeow: Cause they are cute... Rhus: Precisely...their conversation may be lacking, but any aid against the
Corporation should be looked into Silverstone: Cute? they are dinner Silverstone: End the damn meeting if its nothing else! Ceokittymeow: Says you! Was that goat on your head dinner too Simon? Wolfowitz: MISTER Silverstone. Hyperion5182: Whatever. I consider this meeting Adjourned. Nulion When you get
the chance meet me in the pink room. Wolfowitz: Obviously they were able to infiltrate the Tower. Dagget: ok, everyone, the meeting is ended Nulion: ...Pink rrroom? ...Uh....Alrrright? Wolfowitz: And cause a distraction. Dagget: we have some issues to look into promptly Nulion: scratches his head Silverstone: Great, im going for a damn drink now. Dagget: including the security system and where Chrisax went Ceokittymeow: Good drink for each leet you shot while your at it! Rhus: shakes his head in frustration Silverstone: taps his comm Wolfowitz: Mr. Andrio, I'll help you look, if you so wish. Silverstone: Enjoy
