[There are soldiers suiting up, under the watchful eye of a Chinese woman. She's about medium-height, and fit-looking. Her long hair is up in an ornate bun.]

Is the item set up to transmit yet? I want things to be clear. I do not do sneak attacks.

[A male voice off-camera mutters something that can't be heard clearly. The woman looks into the PCD. Her expression is stern, and her tone of voice is clipped, efficient.]

People of the outside. I am Colonel Bao Ying. I lead the soldiers in this world.

One of you, or more, took one of my men. He's dead, mudered.

You can make this very, very simple. You can hand over the culprit.

Or we can do this the hard way, and we'll be coming into your city for a little visit. We'll find them. It's your choice to cooperate or not. We won't kill innocents, but if anyone tries to start anything, we'll put it down.

You've got a half-hour to decide if you want to hand the guilty party or parties over or not. Then we come out there.

[A video-update twenty minutes later.]

You have been given twenty-four hours. Thank Negi. And discuss.

And you all think we know who did it? I think we're in the dark just as much as you are, mate.

[Voice - Bao Ying]

Someone must. It was one of you who did it.

[Voice - Bao Ying]

So you're just going to go around pointing fingers until you find the bloke?

[Voice]

[identity profile] obeymyorder.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I see. I can't think of anyone ever coming near this place, nor was there news of anyone 'dieing'.

You're wasting your time, I can assure you, Colonel Bao Ying.

[Voice]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
We're not making accusations or pointing fingers at specific people yet. When we go out, we will be looking for evidence. We have some clues as to where to look. It would just be far simpler if he was handed over, with no risk to civilians being caught in the crossfire.

Another useless one.

[Voice]

[identity profile] darkinternecion.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Taken? So there's security footage of it happening, or did he walk away for whatever reason and then turn up dead?

[Voice/Video]

[identity profile] notamonkeygirl.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Why do you think one of us did it? I mean, yeah, we broke into your place, but it's not our fault your scientists won't give us answers!

[identity profile] lostwish.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
...Why couldn't you have just asked those scientists in the first place? If they have files on all of us, if they're been watching us, then they should know the most likely person or people.

[Voice - Bao Ying]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
I first eliminated any possibility of it being one of my men. And A) they are not my scientists, and B) it's not my fault that you're not asking questions at the meetings, or that they're not answering you.

[Voice]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
He stepped away for a cigarette, and turned up dead. The damage was not possibly done by an animal.

[Voice - Bao Ying]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
We've been informed it is our matter to deal with and given surface files.

There are suspects, but I refuse to go after people who may not have done this.

[Voice/Video]

...um...

WHAT meetings?

[identity profile] le-louch.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
What exactly makes you believe that anyone here is in a position to "hand over" the culprit?

1) I see no clear evidence that it was one of us presented. If you have such evidence, please offer it up.
2) You have deliberately chosen to separate yourselves from us and withhold other information about how this situation was created. That does little to endear you to those who were forcibly taken into this world by no will of their own. I see no reason why we should cooperate with you in this matter when you refuse to cooperate with us on other matters.
3) Even if it was one of us, there is no guarantee that anyone else here knows who the culprit is.
4) By making such a demand, are not potentially creating a situation where an innocent person could be given to you by someone over-eager to avoid trouble?

[Voice]

[identity profile] lostwish.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
...If we know nothing about this situation, if we don't start anything unprovoked should you have to come out here...

Do we have your word that we'll be left alone?

[Voice]

[identity profile] darkinternecion.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of damage? How exactly was he killed?

[Voice]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Brutally. That's all the details I care to release at this time. Do you know anything or do you not?

[Voice]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
The monthly meetings held by the PR department of the scientists with those outside the walls.

Now. Do you know anything?

[Voice]

[identity profile] darkinternecion.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
No... I was just curious about the details is all.

[Voice]

[identity profile] adstring-npc.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
We didn't come out when the invasion of our city happened, and now one of my men has been taken and killed. It was a lack of consequences that allowed this to happen.

Yes. I am Colonel Bao Ying. I give my word that those that did not attack him and do not attempt to attack us will be left alone.

[Voice]

On the first point, I will not hand over the video tapes. That reveals camera angles, and replacing them is very difficult here.

On the second point, I'm not a scientist. I don't have that information. If you want it, attend the meetings.

On the third, if you do not, then you do not. We will come out and find them.

On the fourth, we have a few things that work as truth serum. We will not kill someone without being 100% certain. I do not tolerate mistakes like that.

[Voice]

[identity profile] notamonkeygirl.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
.....those don't happen. I've been here for almost a year and none of those have happened!

But I don't know anything, I swear!

You all are coming over here for a little visit, are you?

I look forward to it~

[Voice]

[identity profile] lostwish.livejournal.com 2009-07-19 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I can understand that but...not all of us went along with that or even supported it. You lost someone and it wasn't right but...some of us are tired with seeing people die. If one side kills in revenge then it's never going to stop.

Alright then.

Which meetings would those be? What little that has been offered has been both uninformative and infrequent.

If you expect us to hand over someone to you to be put to death without any offer of proof whatsoever, you are sorely mistaken.
