Excuse me?!

It seems they don’t sufficiently respect your oubliette.

Nobody respects my oubliette anymore :(

I thought you didn't have your oubliette anymore?

For good reason!

I want to pet romana. Romana romana come here. I want to pet her. Unfortunately she would react like a cat who was pet backwards. But come here. I want to carry her around by the neck like a stuffed toy. Look at my romana *shakes her*

I shouldn't be given praise and attention from a distance!!

That’s right, you should come closer

WAIT NO. I meant should!

Too late :)

Nooooo!!

Everyone look at my romana *shakes her* *shakes her shakes her shakes her*

I am still frankly, shook.

Can I shake you too?

No. :(

@coordinatorofthecia romana won't let me shake her!

He is not my keeper!!!

I will have Leela stab you!!!

I didn't think he was your keeper!! I think that he somehow likes me and might help me do something that would keep me happy, aka, shake you!

And that would bother me, why?

Nobody is shaking anyone!

Aww :(

Not even if it would make me really happy?

No! Not even then!

I shouldn't be given praise and attention from a distance!!

That’s right, you should come closer

@new-gallifreyan-inquisitor would you care to inform your client that their tribunal was not broadcasted as it was a military tribunal not a trial.

How did the GNN get a recording then??

I have no idea.

@quel-of-the-chancellery-guard cease control of GNN they are now under the authority of the House Military and are to issue a redactment of the recording. It is classified military intelligence. And should not end up in the eyes of the public.

@coordinatorofthecia I want you to investigate potential outside interference possible from the Dalek spy we know to be operating on Gallifrey.

Why was I not informed of this?

You were unaware of the Dalek Spy on Gallifrey? I would have assumed the President told you about this. If not then I can’t ask you to this with out first clearing it with her,

@liviacaralis can I send Narvin to seek out the Dalek Spy?

liviacaralis

Spy versus spy, I like the way you're thinking.

I will take that as authorisation.

@coordinatorofthecia you are authorised to access all files pertaining to the Dalek Spy on Gallifrey. Be warned we know very little about them. They seem to come and go as easily as the breeze.

Very well. Send them to me.

@new-gallifreyan-inquisitor would you care to inform your client that their tribunal was not broadcasted as it was a military tribunal not a trial.

How did the GNN get a recording then??

I have no idea.

@coordinatorofthecia I want you to investigate potential outside interference possible from the Dalek spy we know to be operating on Gallifrey.

Why was I not informed of this?

Bad news. Zirsin is dead, and there’s some other group that also wants to kill us. They regenerated before saying who.

They weren't already dead?

They were working with whoever did that to Lilith. Got turned just to get close to her.

Oh...

Where is their body now?

Dust. They forced a regeneration, then just… burnt through all their lives.

Disappointing.

Ah... if there was something left I may've been able to get a scent... pity

You could go to there yourself, see if you can identify anything?

Not much point now...

Zirsin said that whoever did this will be back for us. I’d say that’s an excellent reason.

What’s with Rovel?

Lilith almost died, what do you think...

Isn’t she back now, though?

But since xir anxiety came back for a bit xe's now scared xir confidence and joy were an illusion and xe's broken...

*sighs*

Naturally.

So, will you go investigate Zirsin’s place?

If you insist... but I don't know what you expect me to find...

Another perspective would be useful, in case I missed anything.

Right... lead the way

We don’t both need to go. But if you called Sytha to watch Rovel, that would work.

Well I mean I don't know the address so...

Come on, then.

*follows*

*kicks away the knife*

See? Dust.

*smells it*

Yeah... as I thought... any hope of identifying who's taint ran through their blood, who turned them. Burnt up with them...

Has anyone else been here?

*sniffs the room*

Can't... smell anyone...

Oh well, it was a long shot, anyways.

Unless…

Would you be able to identify it from a sample of their blood?

Do you have one?

*silently retrieves the knife*

*smells it*

...

Odd... doesn't smell like... anyone

That is odd. We should ask someone to analyze it.

Yeah... good idea.

I’ll submit it when we get back.

Anything else round here you notice?

The attack on Lilith happened here... but I can't figure where the attacker came from, there's no obvious scent trail.

Maybe it’s disguised the same way as the vampire’s identity was.

Yeah... probably

Then let’s go.

Oh, and I should report this to Quel.

Yes... we should do that.

S: Gah how is this crime scene so hard to figure out...

Maybe we’re missing something.

S: Oh almost definitely... but what?

Who could have done this? That’s the main question.

And where's Lilith's body?

Can you smell it?

S: No! It fell here and just... vanished.

So, it was either short range portable transmat, or some sort of scent blocker.

S: Or it was another vampire, and her body was consumed...

That wouldn’t explain why you can’t smell them.

All that's in here is... the smell of Zirsin, and some... bizarre musky animal smell...

Care to elaborate on that last point?

*sniffs the air again*

Like... mammal, small...

Pigrat?

No... different... feline

Rocco?

Rocco wouldn't do this, her current self is my successor remember... and its not the same as her...

She might not remember. And I wouldn’t put it past Rocco to have a backup plan.

...

Alright, we can ask her. But...

Maybe she turned them when she was possessed by Fourteen.

But then why would she have been here recently, she regained control. Lilith absorbed Fourteen.

Would she do this just to get Fourteen back?

If we confront her… we should make sure she can’t escape.

I do not believe it was her... but we need to ask, you're right.

So… how do we prevent teleportation?

I'd say to use your cell but... the AYD destroyed that...

I’ll add it to the to-do list.

Yeah... we should keep an eye out...

*nods decisively, and returns through the transmat*

*follows*

Oh, how’s Inquisitive, by the way?

He went to see Clearan, as you apparently suggested.

Ah, excellent, I’m glad to hear it.

He seemed, concerned about what she'd tell him. What did you say?

Just that we were concerned about his behaviour.

He has been a bit different since I got back...

Therefore…

Therefore?

Therefore we recommended he see Clearan.

Yes I gathered that...

Glad to hear it.

*growls*

Problem?

Anyway, we can work this out...

I’m sure growling will be very helpful.

S: Would you stop it with the condescension...

Someone’s tetchy.

5: Lilith got hurt... and Sorki can't figure out why

5: She's normally good at this...

Well, we know the motivation. Someone’s out for vampires.

5: We'll need to up the defences...

Already done.

5: And... perhaps it'd be good to ask the War Queen or War Council about something like this... there was after all that research group that wanted to experiment on Daybreak and Midnight...

They what?

S: It was a while ago... they're all dead now. But they did exist...

Then ask, if you think they’ll answer.

S: More we want to make them aware of it...

Why?

S: Investigation, shut down, arrests... that kinda thing.

That’s the Guard’s job, not the War Council.

S: If its some off the books War Council operation the higherups are unaware of, being made aware of it can lead to a quicker shutdown.

Ah, then by all means.

@ollistra, @liviacaralis

*sends reports*

I have received a report why?

I figured, on the off chance, if it was a division of the War Council who tried to kill Lilith. You could have it shut down.

Someone tired to kill Lilith?

Yes, a vampire who says they're part of another group like the AYD.

An…another?

@coordinatorofthecia you can deal with it this time.

Vampires were decided to be not aliens, and therefore, outside my jurisdiction.

I painted everything in your office into a rainbow mess, no need to thank me.

Good luck trying to find anything though... >:)

@nianaderovelselpeshxiatrephian

There's a meeting today, if you want to sit in...

I… yes. I’ll try it.

Alright... meet me at the transmat with Yanis

Yeah… just a second.

*warms three bags, drinks some, and brings the rest in a thermos*

I’m here.

Alright... come on, let's go.

The muzzle… would you mind…?

Yeah, course *helps xir fit it*

Thanks.

I should find somewhere near a door, and have Yanis on the other side.

Yes, that would be a good idea.

If it’s not too late… we could tie ourselves together?

It's not, by all means...

Could put it around the leg so its not obvious.

I’ll ask the Tailor to make it look like part of the robes next time.

Yeah...

*enters the chamber of @thehighcouncilofgallifrey*

*the room gets somewhat quieter, as a few people notice. Most sneer in disgust, some seem curious, and only a handful are pleased to see them*

We'll be, sitting in on this meeting, as is our right.

*discontented grumbling*

*a space clears around them*

Nianaderovel, welcome back. Regardless of all our personal opinions, we can at least be polite when a former Councillor decides to sit in.

Thank you, Lord Quith. I appreciate the civility.

I believe our first topic was the surprise dissolution of House Lolita.

Ah, yes. I, for one, believe that the admittance of self-declared Houses has gotten out of hand.

Lolita claimed prior admittance from another timeline. There should probably be some precedent against that...

There is not. In fact, precedence points to the implicit acceptance of foreign Gallifreyans into our structures and society. However, this may not be the optimal state of affairs.

Yes, I was suggesting we should at least amend that, that Lolita immediately attempted to replace one of the Ruling Houses with her own Chapter.

That should not be replicable. But I myself are reluctant to draft up the amendment concerning that.

*quietly seething*

And I propose sanctions against the interference of lesser species on Gallifrey be increased.

Elaborate, Kelpax, I'm curious...

You surely remember the recent invasion? Our actions were far too tolerant.

Hmm, perhaps you have a point. I'd be interested to see your proposal there, I do agree we've let the Lesser Species have far too much leeway in our culture, excused by the fact there's a War on.

Shouldn’t that be more reason to crack down on this?

Precisely

*fidgeting*

*puts a hand on xir shoulder*

You have something to say, don't you?

*turns towards her slightly too fast, and nearly hisses, before regaining control*

Yes, I shouldn’t. It’s supposed to be uneventful.

You're showing amazing control.

It’s hard

*takes a few deep breaths*

Back up a little?

*does so*

You have your thermos, remember...

Thanks

*sips it with a straw*

Yes, exactly, Kelpax. I completely agree...

But that’s preposterous! The CIA manages alien diplomatic affairs, and unless you’re planning a coup, will continue to do so!

Evidently you've not been strict enough.

The War Council has repeatedly countered our plans, to such an extent that I would consider it sabotage!

The War Council is... encouraging alien intervention in Gallifreyan culture?

Not necessarily. They’re occupying our resources in other ways, and yes, have played our allies against each other.

*gestures to Kelpax* What do you think?

I’d be more interested in @patrex-cardinal’s thoughts.

Yes, that's a good point... they've been rather silent as of late.

*leans forward as Narvin speaks*

You... doing alright?

Fine.

*watching him as prey*

Thermos, remember...

Chew toy?

Right here

*struggles to poke it through the muzzle*

*presses a button to flatten it so it passes through, then expands once in xir mouth*

*muffled*

Cool

It is isn't it...

*distracts xemself with it*

That is a completely unfounded accusation, Narvin.

It’s only unfounded because the sources are classified!

A likely story

If whoever’s doing that dreadful squeaking would please cease

Hm?

*completely absorbed in it*

*taps another button with her claw and the squeaking is silenced*

Thank you.

If the CIA can do anything under the justification of "its classified" doesn't that make them answerable to no one?

There is still the President, and our actions are… mostly publicly available. But the specific classified documents I was referencing were produced by the War Council.

Does the War Council even answer to us anymore?

An excellent question.

I should find somewhere near a door, and have Yanis on the other side.

Yes, that would be a good idea.

If it’s not too late… we could tie ourselves together?

It's not, by all means...

Could put it around the leg so its not obvious.

I’ll ask the Tailor to make it look like part of the robes next time.

Yeah...

*enters the chamber of @thehighcouncilofgallifrey*

*the room gets somewhat quieter, as a few people notice. Most sneer in disgust, some seem curious, and only a handful are pleased to see them*

We'll be, sitting in on this meeting, as is our right.

*discontented grumbling*

*a space clears around them*

Nianaderovel, welcome back. Regardless of all our personal opinions, we can at least be polite when a former Councillor decides to sit in.

Thank you, Lord Quith. I appreciate the civility.

I believe our first topic was the surprise dissolution of House Lolita.

Ah, yes. I, for one, believe that the admittance of self-declared Houses has gotten out of hand.

Lolita claimed prior admittance from another timeline. There should probably be some precedent against that...

There is not. In fact, precedence points to the implicit acceptance of foreign Gallifreyans into our structures and society. However, this may not be the optimal state of affairs.

Yes, I was suggesting we should at least amend that, that Lolita immediately attempted to replace one of the Ruling Houses with her own Chapter.

That should not be replicable. But I myself are reluctant to draft up the amendment concerning that.

*quietly seething*

And I propose sanctions against the interference of lesser species on Gallifrey be increased.

Elaborate, Kelpax, I'm curious...

You surely remember the recent invasion? Our actions were far too tolerant.

Hmm, perhaps you have a point. I'd be interested to see your proposal there, I do agree we've let the Lesser Species have far too much leeway in our culture, excused by the fact there's a War on.

Shouldn’t that be more reason to crack down on this?

Precisely

*fidgeting*

*puts a hand on xir shoulder*

You have something to say, don't you?

*turns towards her slightly too fast, and nearly hisses, before regaining control*

Yes, I shouldn’t. It’s supposed to be uneventful.

You're showing amazing control.

It’s hard

*takes a few deep breaths*

Back up a little?

*does so*

You have your thermos, remember...

Thanks

*sips it with a straw*

Yes, exactly, Kelpax. I completely agree...

But that’s preposterous! The CIA manages alien diplomatic affairs, and unless you’re planning a coup, will continue to do so!

@coordinatorofthecia

Ah Coordinator. Just the person I’ve been looking for.

Braxiatel?!

Who else would I be?

I’m just… surprised you’re back. Last I heard, you’d run off.

I must have had matters to attend to I am sure.

However I have some pressing questions and since Romana is… in various contradictory states, and Leela is of fight the war you are the only person I halfway trust.

*his eyes sharpen*

Only halfway? You wound me.

Well I need someone to ask at any rate and you were to most convenient. Things have rather changed since last I was here and I wish to know the full extent of these changes. Knowing the CIA I must assume you have been keeping tabs on everyone?

Oh, yes. But first… did you kill the woman I asked you to?

And which woman would that be? It’s been centuries you can’t expect me to recall every… edict I’ve been issued.

Oh, I’m sure you remember. It was… personal for you.

Romana.

I most assuredly did not kill her then. But if you are in fact referring to… her. Then things are certainly under control.

*lowers the staser he discretely held*

Congratulations, you passed. For your information, Leela is not fighting in the war, and I highly doubt this is the world you imagine it is.

Then where is Leela? It was an educated guess to assume she was in the thick of the action.

She’s currently residing in House Yssgaroth. Managing some errant splinter of a disgraced Romana.

I could call her for you.

House Yssgaroth?

Another thing that happened in your absence. A little vampire infestation.

Things certainly have changed. And now is Cousin Justine, still running around in a Chancellory Guard uniform?

Justine? Oh, no, she’s long gone. Dead, in fact. Lolita is the main threat.

And what else have I missed Narvin.

Other than the War? That’s about the size of it.

Other than the war and Ollistra’s power plays my knowledge of recent history and politics is sorely lacking. So do try to recall?

Well, there have been numerous vampire attacks, and many attempts to kill them. My cat, Rocco, if you recall, has been attempting to kill me.

Your cat has been trying to kill you?

He’s also a vampire.

Well of course. That’s perfectly normal and expected. A vampire cat is trying to kill the Coordinator of what may once have just be the most powerful intelligence agency in the know the universe.

I am assume you are currently suffering massive staff shortages that seem to come from nowhere?

Yes, quite.

How did you know that?

I may have missed what’s going on, on Gallifrey. But have not been idle. I am aware of the goings on in the wider universe and have been taking part of them.

I stopped one potential enemy at great personal risk.

*he absentmindedly rubs his hand at point on his torso.*

And now I find another is at the gates.

So I have returned.

And can tell you of these staff shortages.

Another enemy? Not… the Enemy?

No… and yes. But no more prominently. I find the Daleks at the gates is what I mean. Another compared to that which I helped to defeat.

Yes, we’re well aware of the Daleks, thank you.

I know. But your staff shortage has nothing to with them you have traitors in your midst Narvin, and have had for a very long while.

Explain.

I believe I better leave that up to them.

@unofficial-cia-of-gallifrey I believe you have some explaining to do and I suggest you do it quickly. Inside one of your indentured is a Mememine the likes of what has never been seen. If you do not make yourself present and explain yourself to Narvin here I will detonate it and blow a whole the size of Mutters Spiral in Mictlan.

I’m well aware of Mictlan, thank you.

Well that where they have been going, that is the staff shortage.

Yes, I sent them.

Now disable the mine!

You are the traitor?

Hardly. I’m the Coordinator, and I have many resources to which you are not privy.

As you yourself have said, thing’s have changed around here.

Are you familiar with “One?”

As in the Rivera Manuscript? And the record of Umbaste’s death both official and in the secret minutes?

But you are aware that Mictlan I selling technology and psychology to the Daleks as well as the Time Lords?

Yes, that’s the one.

Wait, what?

Mictlan has being playing everyside.

Trading with every possible Enemy.

Supplying the Remote, Anastasia Faction, and many, many more groups.

Clearly you are not the traitor just one of many… ignorant individuals, for lack of a more polite turn of phrase.

If you had the option… why haven’t you already destroyed them?

They are not a major threat. Just an annoyance in the long run. Their destruction is not booked until… well it’s rather hard to quantify from this metatime front.

But several years after the 50th Year of the War in Heaven on the War King’s Homeworld. From this Gallifrey I can’t give you a clear date but soon I imagine.

And anyway the mine wouldn’t destroy them merely, wound them and possibly erase a handful. But the majority would survive.

You need them for something, don’t you.

Not currently but it’s always useful to have some…

Blackmail is such an ugly word so let’s just say insurance?

Well, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Well now we have sorted out that you are not the traitor and why you vampire cat is able to try and kill you.

I have no more questions for you today coordinator. Thank you.

*he leaves.*
