[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.

You expect us to conduct an investigation for you? That's hardly very professional.

I'm giving your people a chance to not be injured. It's ethical.

I wouldn't try to force the hand of the uninvolved.

Ending up with dozens of dead instead of merely one would be counterproductive, wouldn't it?

And if we don't act, there will be a next time.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Ah, so your plan to avoid a next time is to threaten us, stir up paranoia, and then run your forces out to be killed all at once? Efficient.

Are you going to be useful, or are you going to talk uselessly?

I could ask you the same question.
