True...but we could always introduce an NPC to be framed, since Hasan is super unlikely. He's physically handicapped, after all.

We probably would have been pretty good about torching the copies, especially if this was a Snikmorden. Or, alternatively, they could be set back to the last backup (say there were some unexpectedly comprehensive security measures in place or what have you), but that the major breakthrough(s) had been made since the backup?

That is true. Do you have a character in mind for me? I could be 1) the framed character, perhaps a rival or something, 2) the attacked person discussed before, 3) the investigator who just kinda falls into it, 4) a person who knew her well, which is strange since I am foreign (perhaps a Perawani refugee maid or something), 5) a student of hers or something who worked with her. Also, since Perawin has extremely open borders which many people pass through every day, perhaps the killer heads there to arrange the hand off of information.
Also, if Hasan was working with her, wouldn't he know the major breakthrough and be able to replicate parts of it?

How do we link these together?

Oster is trying to frame the Perawinian to deflect blame from the Norse, since the Norse have agreed to provide the Oster team with a copy of the research in exchange? Or, a member of the Norse team is trying to frame the Perawinian so they can flee Atnaia and steal the Oster's research to complete it?

Ostehaar wrote:I have no reason to try and frame anyone, so the first option is not possible. Ostehaar and Atnaia are allies and they two nations' scientific community are likely to work in cooperation - not try to steal information from each-other.
I didn't quite understand the second option.

Upper Norseland wrote:Ok, first option's out. As for the second, you said that the Oster team had pieces of the data? If we assume that those pieces, or at least some of them, are crucial. Therefore, the Norse team would want to go after those other pieces in order to capture the complete data. That task would be made all the more difficult by an ongoing Atnaian investigation,

It would require Atnaian security services to hunt down a foreign citizen and put him to trial. Doesn't it make things more complicated? Anyway, I'll go with Atnaia's decision on this.

I can give plenty of them and since Atnaia has significant Athara Magarati population and open borders, is possible.
Ethnic terrorist groups and communist cadres would be good and reasonable side-villains or just some extra suspects in the minds of the police if you need.

No, it looks like UN and Imp are dedicated to villainy in this regard. Not that we can't use your ideas.
Okay, here's what I have so far in mind:
Upper Norseland and TEEIA murdered Emily Castle to get ahold of the information. She has secretly been working alongside Oster scientists on the project, outside of the purview of her bosses at the University, which is why she brought the info home. UN and TEEIA discovered this somehow and planned the attack for when she had taken data back. Perawin is involved somehow and is attempting to frame someone. I actually discovered a way Hasan can be framed: someone implies he hired a hitman by falsifying his bank records and getting recordings implicating his possible motives.
I have some ideas for false leads and stuff as well.

Perawin's motives: Perawin wants to get on good terms with Atnaia and Ostehaar, due to their scientific knowledge and large influence. Upper Norseland is a trading partner, but A&O are top priorities.
