"HIEMS!" he yelled, and the ice flared out of his hands, covering the bomb in ice. The electronics were not designed to stand up to the arctic temperatures localising themselves around it. The bomb gave one pathetic beep, and then died.
Mikhail then pulled a hammer out of a nearby shelf and started cracking the casing open, each swing startling Heather.
"It's alright. It's frozen." he said as the bomb casing shattered, revealing half-a-dozen bomblets, still frozen. He carefully took each one apart, and stored the thermite powder in a special thermoregulated container.
"There. Relatively harmless. The electronics are broken now, and the only thing that will set that bomb off will be extreme heat. So I suggest you place it somewhere where the fire will set it off, but it won't hurt anyone. And now, to talk to Seven...."
((Assume, Kezzstar, that I am still in transit while you're with Seven in the hospital.)) |
Heather was pacing, waiting for Mikhail to arrive.
"Darling, you're making me dizzy." Seven touched her paw. Thank goodness R'ae wasn't there, she would have known her friend was blushing under the fur.
She was falling for the Lord of the Apes. Which she had never wanted to do. Seven had taken her to see King Genuine once, and that had been a disaster. She loved her garbage collecting.
"I'm sorry my Lord." she mumbled.
"How many times have I told you not to call me that?" Seven smiled. "We're engaged."
"Yeah, I know...." Heather sat down beside the bed, and sighed.

Mikahil had just recieved the news about Seven being hospitalised. Someone was determined to screw things up.

Mikhail hated going to the Noble Planet. Too much protocol. He put on his black trench-coat with the Adjudicator insignia, a stylised Hamlet holding up Yorick's head, with the motto encircling it:
Silenti etc narro. Nos audio.
Not that this lot could be bothered to listen, anyway.
After some harrying of hospital officials who didn't like a rather scruffy looking Adjudicator entering the Hospital catering to the Nobles, a near encounter with a security guard who thought that the Cone of Silence device was a bomb, and nearly being run over by a Pachyd on a gurney being pushed to an operating table, he finally reached the room where Seven was being held.
Thankfully, the guards here had been with the program and let Mikhail in with little fuss. Before Heather or Seven could say anything, Mikhail held up a hand, then activated a brief Scan for wiretaps. Only a few present. SOP for a hospital frequented by the Nobles. But then again, so was this.
He pulled a device like the mutant offspring between a landmine and a loudspeaker. Seven knew what it was straight away, a Cone of Silence, or a sonic dampener. Sounds entering the field would be diffused, so communication in and out of the field was impossible except through visual communication. He knew that the camera was recording this, but again, Cone of Silences were used fairly regularly, especially when an Adjudicator was involved. The guard must've been relatively new.
He then pulled out an audio recorder. "This is Adjudicator Mikhail Raleigh, Independent Register Number UIY-2249, questioning Ape Lord Sir Seven, in the Main Hospital of the Noble Planet, relative dateline attached."
He then turned to Seven. Heather was within the Cone of Silence, and could hear the conversation. "Now, if you'll waive protocol for the moment, I think we can get to business immediately. Firstly, I need to know about this alliance between the Ants and the Apes."

"A pact of survival. Ants were losing their place on Quezacoatl as the honey-makers as new technology moved in. They WERE going to start taking over Ape occupations. Like garbage disposal." Seven glanced at Heather. "And they were going to use force. We had to do something, or else most of the Apes would end up dead. So we agreed to buy only Ant-made honey, as well as share some of our lesser-populated jobs. Needless to say, neither the Ants nor the Apes really liked this. Apes have always been proud, Adjudicator, and the Ants were furious that they were to be used as 'fillers' in the holes of Ape occupations. Most Ants wanted to completely take over most Ape enterprises. I had to do something. So I gave up some of the mining jobs on Coal and Ifrit. And that annoyed my own people. A politician can't win. I had to do something to avoid war. Looks like I'm not doing a good job." Seven sighed, and fainted.
Heather looked down and pulled the blanket over him. Then she realised what she'd done.
"Lazy bugger." she snapped haughtily, again glad for the fur to hide her red face.
She then looked at her watch.
"I'm off for my garbage run. I'll keep an ear out for gossip, people will tell me their secrets like there's no tomorrow! And from the looks of things, their might not be." she laughed sadly.

Mikhail thought of these things. Politics, he thought disgustedly. He deactivated the Cone of Silence, but then patched a Scan spell through to the hospital systems. He knew, now what one reason why humans would be attempting to assasinate the top Ants and Apes in this alliance.
Even if they had been hired by Apes or Ants who didn't want these to go ahead, humans involved would want to make certain that there were no alliances that could threaten their powerbase. Even Mikhail understood politics to that sort of degree.
Now, all he had to do was wait...

((Sorry for my absence during the weekend, I was in another city and cut off from 'net access))
After the dinner, R'ae went to her ship, covered the ground and herself with a blanket and slept. Her dreams were haunted by apes and ants and humans who chase people around either of the two on Shiva or Ifrit. She woke up full of strange thoughts and decided to first eat something and then fix her radio. It was not a big problem, but took quite an amount of her time. The work at least made her calm down and allowed her to coherentize her thoughts. Eventually, she finished and went to a public terminal to do a few searches. She found some pieces of information, which could mean something disturbing the way she saw it: A group of ants apparently attempted to find n'tŭa'kta'ik'sau, an item, these, who believed in the old myths of the origin of the s'kele considered as storage medium of the generation ship, the s'kele arrived in. The most important financier of the expedition however suddenly disappeared. She researched more but there seemed to be only very few sources. so few, that it might be false rather than true.
She sent the links and a translation of the s'kelen sources to Heather and wrote below them in the message: 'Who would profit most from the artificial connection between form and function of a being?' Added the appropriate greeting and sent it.
((This might very well be one of the strange conspiracy theories floating around on the 'net))

Heather sifted through the info her friend had given her, and forwarded it on to Mikhail. She looked over to where Seven was searching through his papers. He seemed very upset by the whole situation.
Seven, meanwhile was trying to prioritise. He'd already made contact with the Ant Lord and had arranged a meeting. Now for the public. If he knew the Ant Lord, the moment the Adjudicator under his jurisdiction had gotten word of the death, it would have been public knowledge within the hour. So much for trying to sort it out quietly.
He sighed. He wanted to sleep, his wound was stinging, but he had to go on.
Heather looked towards the empty fireplace, and conjured a fire. She hated the cooler planets sometimes. Her garbage run had been a dud-no one knew anything. And all of them were blaming her for it.

((This turn of events completely threw me off...))
R'ae eventually was back on Shiva. Her own test were more than successful: Her ship was far ore efficient with the changes she made. While she would not let a non-s'kele even near the controls of her ship, the technology would also work in ships, which were controlled by computers. It would not be possible to simply go into a patent office and get the technology protected. Her parents worked for the Industrija (a clan of pirates) and she severely doubted the human ha'kleen would like the idea of some of their earning going to 'spiders'. She heard the rumours about the Riemann-Amasuhela generator being originally invented by a nameless member of the cat-like species Asxantu.
On the other hand, the Industrija or any other clan of pirates would want more secrecy. If she worked for one of these, she would be confined not only in a place but in a frame of reference. Normally pirates are not too fond of free flow of information or transport.
Forcing herself off the track of idle pondering, R'ae decided to search the local parts of the network for information about the expedition

Without thinking, Heather gave R'ae a call. The line was busy, so she left a message.
"I'm okay-ish. I'm confused. Oh, and the Taker needs a service, you wouldn't mind taking a look would you? And do stay away from those Pirates, I know you've had dealings with them and I wish you wouldn't. See ya!"
