Lower Wardandian wrote:A few minutes later, President Bird's phone rang. It was a Lower Wardandian number. Upon answering, a male voice spoke. "Hello, Madam President. I am John Hernandez of the Lower Wardandian Board of Directors. A little birdie told me you have an assassin from Kallist in your custody. If you wish to get him to talk, I know someone who can help you with that."
Kallist wrote:The Establishment assassin looked at his interrogators as they sat him down in a solitary cell; it consisted of a small table and chair, a single light hanging from the ceiling, swinging back and forth. He was dressed as a refugee from Kallist, hoping to get close to Eris XXIII on Hilary Smoochnger's orders; he needed to finish the job, after all. And the Kagetorian Guardsmen staring him down, pointing their weapons at him, weren't going to stop him. All he had to do was not talk.

Director Hart Case stared down the assassin his men had managed to capture. "What did you think was going to happen, huh? Did you think we were going to be so stupid as to not keep an eye out for exactly this sort of thing? Moreover..." He slammed an official order from the President herself, authorizing the Tenebric Guardsmen to vet incoming refugees more thoroughly, albeit subtlely. "...did you really think we'd not figure out the duplicitous nature of you and the others we caught so easily?"

You're holding an enemy of the state in custody. It's just business, see. Madam Hilary wants that obstacle you dare call the Prettiest One out of the way. For the good of the people of Kallist, and eventually for all the Free Lands."
Lower Wardandian wrote:"Do you want me to have a...chat with them?" Sophia asked. "I used to be an interrogator. I can get a man to sing like a canary in no time."

Oh you think you're a badass, do ya?" Director Case snarked. "All hopped up and high on your party's ideals. But you see, Madam President Bird--and myself as well, you should know-- don't see it that way. We are providing asylum to the legal leader of Kallist as a result of your little coup." Director Case leaned in. "I don't give a damn what you think is right or wrong. The only one in this room who committed a crime is you. And if you don't recant your fanatical devotion to a tyrant and help us make sure your boss doesn't burn this region to the ground? You're going to find out just how flexible the laws can be around here...and how far pacificism can be pushed before we take up arms to defend what's right."

Kallist wrote:The assassin looked at first dumbfounded, then downright shocked; it was as if someone had pulled a gun on his pet platypus, and demanded 'Please give us a Golden Apple, or we'll have to pull the trigger '. "You believe Madam Smoochnger is a tyrant?!" Hard, loud, almost forced laughter erupted from the fanatic assassin. "Oh, nononono...no, Director. You misunderstand. We, the Establishment, are the most loyal to our dear land of Kallist and its values. We just think...well, the old folks had the right idea. They just didn't go far enough."

A Guardsman came over and whispered something in Case's ear. Case stood up, walked back from the table, put his hands in his pockets and chuckled. "Oh boy, things are about to get interesting for you, kid. We just got word from the Bird herself. Seems you've attracted the attention of the wrong damn people in this region." He turned around with a grin on his face. "Lower Wardanian people, no less."

Sophia soon arrived, humming to herself. She was carrying a brown bag, slung over her shoulder. "Greetings." She said to the captured assassin. "I think we are going to be good friends."
