The wheels screeched onto the tarmac.
"I think we're about to find out," said James.
The plane stopped. The doors opened. As well as a dozen soldiers, there was a huge bank of Krytenian news reporters.
"Dammit!" Alec exclaimed. "How the hell did they find out about this? They weren't supposed to be informed until after we left the base!"
The two pilots ushered Lauir out of the aeroplane. A burly police officer, Sgt. Yeremov according to his uniform, manhandled the Xilean President, and frogmarched him towards the base.
"Adonis Lauir, you are hereby placed under arrest for the crime of first-degree murder. You have the right to remain silent, however anything you do say may be used as evidence against you." |

Adonis laughed, taking a quick look back at his brutal escort.
"You'll be the first to go..." he whispered through clenched teeth.
He managed to stop the procession for a moment and take a quick bow before the media.
"You have before you Adonis Lauir. General, and President of the great country, Xile. Apparently my harsh diplomatic solution to the loose end of your former President Davis has brought me back to a point of contention with your esteemed sovereign nation. I am the victim of a kidnapping, but will take this all in as a matter of necessary ventilation of your frustrations. I expected some type of retribution for my actions, but I hope we can solve this all in a peacefu..."
His words were halted as he was shoved hard from behind by Sgt. Yeremov and lost his footing. He laid complacently while he was picked up roughly. He flashed a smile for the cameras, and continued on his forced march. |

"Sir, Krytenia media has been broadcasting pictures of President Lauir in their custody for the murder of President Davis."
Tariskany looked up at General Harris with a slight grin. "Interesting."
The President looked back down at his papers, pondering for a moment. The General obviously expected some sort of order. "General, let me finish signing these death warrants and I'll get back with you. I'm rather busy at the moment."
Harris seemed taken aback at the comment, and felt the need for a rebuke. "No offence meant, sir, but doesn't this incident seem somewhat important? They have captured a President from an esteemed country, and he is in our alliance. I think it is pertinent that we do something."
With that Antoine just laughed, and gave a sly grin. "Time will give us the answers General, and I cannot think clearly with you gawking at me like that. Go into the other room for about 20 minutes and then we will discuss this. However, I suppose to keep yourself busy you can notify Starblaydia and Novvs Atlantis. That will be all."
The man stood vacant for a moment, appearing to be soaking up his orders. He then gave a short salute and opened the oaken doors to complete his orders. |

"My Lord," the official said, "a message from Abattoir, informing us of President Lauir's capture.
"They assume we don't watch Krytie TV News," the Lord-Protector said, sitting at the head of the table for this emergency council session, "there's more than just 'Shower Night: Women In Prison' on from that broadcaster."
The assembled Council of Lords around the table chuckled, with no Lady Viannor to respect, the group of men allowed themself a small joke. the Lord-Protector went on with the meeting.
"Send them an acknowledgement," he said, "and tell them we're working on it. How did this happen, Quaestor?"
Quaestor Kevan Fursifio was sitting in for Lady Viannor while she was away in Assington. She wouldn't have wanted to miss the double-whammy of an Abattoiran nuke-test and the kidnapping of Lauir. He checked his notes and cleared his throat.
"We found two Xilean pilots dead at JIA, their identities taken. However, we have a terminal manager who said she saw the two pilots get on the plane, she even directed them towards the jet. 'Handsome fellows', she said."
"Couldn't have been Krytenian, then," chuckled Lord Chisoko.
"Quiet, Isaac," Starblayde said, "what can we do about this, then?" Silence around the table. "Brilliant. Let's put our thinking-caps on."
(OOC: Hope you dont mind killing to Xilean pilots, Kry, as they had to go somewhere.
And the shower reference comes from a later series of Red Dwarf, where Kryten makes money in prison by filming the women inmates in the shower) |

Bedistani president Dean Willis was watching BNN when he saw a very interesting report. Apparently, Xilean president Adonis Lauir had just landed in Krytenia and been arrested by that nation's authorities. Something about first-degree murder, apparently.
"Wait a minute!" Willis shouted to his Intelligence Minister, Glenn North. "They say Lauir was on a Xilean aircraft. That makes sense, obviously, him being the Xilean president. But wasn't he up in Starblaydia somewhere?"
"He was, sir," North stated. "That dictators-pretending-to-be-elected-heads-of-state alliance thingy, kinda like the one our Defense Minister's at in Lamoni."
"So how did he get from Starblaydia to Krytenia without us knowing about it? Xilean aircraft don't just wander through Bedistani airspace every day, you know." [OOC: Though it's not on the map yet, note that Bedistan fills up much of the area between the Lowland Clans, Abattoir, and Krytenia.]
"Well, I saw something vaguely suspicious flying over the western provinces, but I didn't think it was important enough to worry about."
"Didn't think it was important enough?! Why the hell do you think I appointed you as Intelligence Minister if you're not going to notify me about these things?"
"You didn't appoint me, sir. President Morgan did."
"Ah, that explains it. Start cleaning out your desk, then, 'cause you're outta here. In the meantime, I'll just have to watch this situation myself." |

"Yes... Yes... Of course. I agree; however, if any assistance is required, the Arcani and, if needed, the Praetorian Guard are at your disposal."
Imperator Tyrannvs hung up his phone and looked back at the news channel. Adonis had certainly gotten himself into quite the situation. |

KRYTENIAN CHAIRMAN'S PRESS CONFERENCE, 5.25pm
"Ladies and gentlemen, Chairman Samuel Warzycha." The aide moved aside, and the Chairman took his place.
"People of Atlantian Oceania, we currently have in our custody, the Xilean President, Adonis Lauir. We plan to bring him to trial for his crimes, however in the interests of fairness, the judge and jurors will come from neutral nations within the region."
"The trial shall take place in approximately three weeks (ooc: not RL time) at the Krytenian High Court in Everton City." |

An Xilean reporter raised his hand. He was aknowledged by the speaker, and asked:
"In what way will you select the prospective jurors and judges? Is any nation (other than those involved) able to send someone?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Tiberius said as he watched the screens, tuned to Krytie TV. "No Krytenians, No Xileans. No Lamonians, Nojikans or any Holy Saints or Nova Romans, for that matter."
He turned to his advisors.
"Only, perhaps, are the Chief nation of AORDO and the holders of the Regional Delegacy equipped to handle these proceedings with any neutrality. Or perhaps the completely-neutral, totally un-influenceable nations of Rendition or Nova Britannicus. Do you see where I'm going with this? Ricardo, Get a statement to that effect released immediately." |

(OOC: This is basically a BUMP, but I am just wondering how many judges responded, and if there is a deadline on responses? I don't want my President to sit in Limbo for an indefinite amount of time.) |
