Meeting on Bethlehem

[n00bl3t]

The reaction was almost exactly as expected.

"Not that you could shoot the messenger so to speak anyway, right Miss Knight? Goodness knows what would happen if an Omicroner were to die suspiciously on your station when sent as a diplomatic envoy. I would say your station would not last long if that happened, but as it stands with Liberty's encroachment it will no doubt last for little time anyway." Akayama did not appreciate the veiled threat Knight made about her life.

"Everything else can remain as you want it. This is your station. I came here to propose a change on behalf of The Omicroners that we felt would be beneficial to The Zoners as a whole, and you turned hostile and told my superior to go to hell and rudely told me to fly off your station after accepting an invite to listen to our message." Akayama took her datapad back and typed a few things into it. "I've sent a copy of what we desire to your computer for you to do with as you wish. It is up to you. I feel it is the most polite thing I can do, and I know it is an action that will not be reciprocated."

Akayama got up and walked to the door, stopping just before it. "Administrator Knight, I doubt we will be in contact again. I think it would be best if any future communication between our two groups was done through a comm channel."

Mio Akayama then strode out before Administrator Elyssa Knight could say anything. The two burly crewmen flanked her with even more intimidating looks on their faces than before. The doors to the office closed, and that was that. Akayama knew she had failed in her task, and would have to report it to Coen soon enough.

The Commander of Coen's yacht had already moored to the station. The group of three onboard the station were already enroute to the hangar bay. No-one would stop them from leaving the station.

"So, I take it you failed?" The burly crewman on the left spoke in deep tones as they walked towards the hangar.

Akayama nodded before talking. "I have never felt so insulted. Libertonians have no concept of honour or due respect."

"Yeah, but you're from Kusari. Things are different." The other burly crewman responded. His voice was slightly less in the bass tones.

"Do you think I was wrong?" Akayama stopped walking and looked pleadingly at the first crewman on her left.

"No. Whatever happened, happened. And it was that way for a reason." The burly crewman pushed gently on Akayama's back to get her walking again.

They arrived at the portway to the yatch, and the burly crewman spoke again. "Either way, we're here. Your choice whether we get on and leave or not."

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
