Emperor Julii listened intently. It was hard to make out some of the voices over the static, but it did indeed sound like Alexi. Still, with the amount of static, it could have easily been a sound-a-like. He recalled a murder case involving organized crime and a corrupt police officer, that he had tried about three years ago. Turned out the defendant was framed, and the real culprit of the murder had gone as far as to get a sound-a-like to make a phone call, knowing that the IDA's (Imperial District Attorney) Office would request a recording of the conversation. The Emperor then looked over at the files he had, Agent Li did mention a criminal organization outside of the black market ring, that was operating. Apparently Ulrich Jurgen was familiar with it, but wasn't sure if Prince Alexi was involved in it. She made a note that his involvement in that group was limited to providing supplies. --- Aboard the GIS Venator --- Ramius looked over at Alexi and commented, "you know, the voice does sound like you..." "Kendar's a snake, I don't think my father ever really trusted him. It's not hard to get a sound-a-like, and the fact they found it in a bottom of a canal... almost as if it was planted there." Alexi scoffed. Ramius thought it was a stretch that the Black Box could have been planted, but kept it to himself. He glanced over at the two marines guarding the door and recalled and order he received from His Majesty himself. To keep an eye on the Prince in case Kendar did present the clear and convincing evidence that the Emperor was looking for, and arrest him. "Is it true that you were classmates with some of these warlords?" Ramius asked. "Yeah that's true, but that doesn't mean we got along. If you look at the academy's disciplinary records, you'd see that me and Uzun constantly got into fist fights and nearly got kicked out because of it." Alexi answered. |

(OOC: Literally falling asleep while trying to type this.... So if their are a ton of misspellings I apologize in advance. Pharaoh Mark Antony was nearly falling asleep as Commander Nika Kurchenko began to speak. He was quite bored with the meeting, seeing that Prince Alexi and Kendar would simply try and discredit each other at whatever cost necessary. He figured very little would be solved in this meeting if it continued at this rate. However when Commander Nika Kurchenko began to speak she spoke of grand connections between Prince Alexi and Ixaran warlords and the Pharaoh began to listen again. As Commander Nika Kurchenko turned on the black box recorder the Pharaoh received a text message. He took out his blackberry and saw the message was from Imperial High Command. He opened the message just as a loud gunshot allegedly fired by Prince Alexi hit. The message he found stunned him "Our salvage team has recovered the Grand Duchesses plane in the English channel. From early observations it's obvious the plane was struck at some point by a surface to ground missile..... The salvage team is also looking for traces of a possible black ". The Pharaoh stopped reading the text and showed the message to Queen Cleopatra. The Queen looked over the text and realized this was potentially a deal breaker for Kendar. The Pharaoh fixed his gaze upon Cleopatra and asked "Shall I?". Queen Cleopatra nodded her head and agreed to pharaoh addressing the Vienna summit. The Pharaoh then turned and said in a sarcastically perplexed voice "A week before the Queen and I left for Vienna, I sent an Imperial Naval salvage team into the English Channel to find the Grand duchesses plane. They've done so and that leads us only with more questions than answers. The major one being why have you said the plane was brought down easy on water and Prince Alexi and his men were on board killing when the Imperial crew finds it was shot down with and surface to air missile? If my salvage team has already found this inconsistency just in the start of our investigation what else are we to uncover? And since the plane was shut down by a surface to air missile, these black box recording have to be fabricated. Which leads me to my next question? Why would you bring a false black box to this meeting?". The Pharaoh then sat back in his chair and said "In light of this I suggest we recess so my salvage team can continue to work on the Grand Duchesses flight and see if we can locate the actual black box. I also demand that the box the Veomo delegation has brought be analyzed by audio experts from Celatoria, San Lumen, and MVN for possible tampering and fabrication. Premier Kendar you're pushing ever closely to a vote of no confidence with this... It's all to easy to blame Prince Alexi. I suggest you explain yourself and your nations actions...

Emperor Julii, Colonel Almathea, Commodore Ramius, Prince Alexi: "What?!" This was news to the Emperor, though it only fuel his already existing suspicion of the black box's authenticity. He flipped though his files, one page was a testimony from Ulrich Jurgen, stating that he had delivered a shipment of Stinger portable SAMs from Baker to a customer in Veomo. Couple pieces falling into place... "I would also like to add, Premier Kendar, that I have testimony here from an informant that the arms dealer Kenneth Baker had a shipment of Stinger missiles delivered to an anonymous recipient in Veomo. Strange set of coincidences...?" The Emperor then looked over at the Queen and Pharaoh, and at King Jason. "I second the MVN delegation's motion for recess." --- Aboard the GIS Venator --- "So the plot thickens..." Ramius commented. "What did I tell you, the man's a snake. Told you there was something funny about that black box." Alexi retorted. Edited by Grangale Empire, Oct 18 2011, 10:35 PM.

Commander Nika looked to the Premier whom simply nodded, then she spoke. "Your Majesty, first of all we never said Prince Alexi was on board, we simply state that at some point he contacted the crew, we are very aware that he was still at Abkhazia, allegedly on the watch of his father the king, though we have witnesses reporting that the Prince was absent "making a call" on the precise moment the airplane receives the call. Although there is no way for us to know right now who fired the gun that is heard on the recording, if was either the pilot or the co-pilot, or any other crew member, or even the Grand Duchess herself." Nika makes a pause then continues. "Indeed the plane seems to have some damage consistent to an SAM missile hit, but the damage is inconsistent with a damage that may cause a plane crash, as you can see on these photographs of the crash site handed to us by the northern authorities." The display now showed up several photographs of the underwater crash site of the Grand Duchess plane. "As you can see here, Your Majesty, the damaged suffered at the wing, would definitely reduce the flight capabilities of the aircraft, but would in no way, cause the plane to crash, even more on the hands of the renowned pilots of the Krasnodarian Naval Aviation, responsible for the flights of the Royal Family of Krasnodar. Our analysts informed us that such a damage would allow the plane to keep flying and make an emergency landing on a northern airfield." The screen was now showing a map of the region with several airfield marked and the trajectory from the plane with a small mark on the area the plane seemed to have been shot. "As you can see on these images." She makes another pause. "So your majesty, please, before you put in question the validity of the evidence we bring before this council, be sure to have all the information. I am positively sure your team will come to the same conclusion as our have. By the way have your team found another black box on the site?" The screen was now showing pictures of the northern team recovering the black box from the wreckage. "And by all means, the box will be available for your teams to analyse, of course that we shall insist that observers from our government and of Grangale's shall be present, for the sake of transparency." Now turning to the Emperor of Grangale, Nika said. "Indeed Your Majesty, I was just getting there, perhaps what your informant didn't informed you is that there was two of such deliveries, one of them requested and received by the RIS as a part of an undercover operation, the files and reports are on the dossiers in front of you, as the inventory of the delivery. Of course we invite your delegations to visit the RIS facility where the missiles are been kept. The second one occurred just after that, and was delivered to Alexander Hugh Green aka Gustav Edison Müllard. Former operative of the Krasnodarian Inteligence Agency, had a work visa with the sponsorship of a major multinational defense company, where he was allegedly working as consultant, a company which we recently came to know that the Prince is a shareholder of. This man left to Sweden a few days before the assassination of the Grand Duke, and we have no other information on him since." another pause. Now was the Premier whom spoke. "Well, that having being said, we have no objections to a recess." |

Emperor Julii looked back at his files and Jurgen only mentioned one shipment, though it was possible that Baker went though other channels. On that though, the only reason why Baker would do that was to further hide his tracks, the question begged would be for what purpose? He didn't think much of the fact that Alexi owned stock in an arms company, there was a big difference between being a stockholder and an executive. He certainly wasn't going to rule out the possibility of Kendar loyalists in the RIS. "Yes, I believe I will take you up on that offer. I'll have a few IIS agents and an engineer from ArmsTech Industries in Istanbul prepped and ready to go during the recess, they only need landing clearance and a group to meet them. I know it's abrupt, but I think the phrase the sooner the better, applies here." The Emperor stated. ArmsTech had a few engineers and technicians working with the Imperial Army Engineering Corp in Istanbul and the surrounding areas. |

The Pharaoh looked at Commander Nike and laughed softly to himself before saying "You would find it curious that before you turned on the black box you said and I quote "Surprisingly the plane was almost intact seemed damaged only by its impact on the bottom of the channel,as if it had attempt a landing at the sea, but nothing more.". Seems contradictory to the statement you just said saying "Indeed the plane seems to have some damage consistent to an SAM missile hit.". Perhaps you and your delegation should find it prudent to tells this council all of your findings and not backtrack and add pieces to your findings as they come out. As for finding another black box, my team has been down their five minutes or so and have just started their investigation. However I'm sure any goodies down their shall be found.". The Pharaoh took a drink and a deep breathe before saying "I think it's best if San Lumen, Celatoria, Grangale, and only the Empire look at the black box. It's your delegations box so what's the point in you looking at it again? though you may send an observer or several for transparency sake. To be quite honest I don't really care if it was Kendar or Prince Alexi. The only thing I care about is avenging the Grand Duke. I often have found the side that often switches their story to be the guilty party. So I implore you Commander to hand over all of your findings so we don't have anymore mix ups and switches in your story." |

King Jason was listening carefully to what was being said and felt he had to speak. "I agree that the black box should be analyzed by audio experts. In fact the fine lady to my right HMIS Director Maureen Vilora is an expert in audio and video and document analysis. I care deeply about weather or not Prince Alexei was involved Premier. I would like to turn the floor over briefly too Director Vilora.'' King Jason said. Director Vilora turned on her mic and spoke. "I have before me several documents that speak of eyewitness saying a lone gunman shot the Grand Duke at the conference and gave a description of the man. In addition we received reports of a mysterious car accident in Sweden. Eyewitnesses say black sedans and a black helicopter were noticed near the scene both before and after and they saw what they believed to be tampering with evidence? Do you have any comment on this disturbing report?'' Director Vilora Asked the Premier. |

Emperor Julii looked over at King Jason and spoke. "Before we get into that, I think it's best we take a short recess, and allow the Vemomese delegation to get their affairs in order." As the Emperor spoke his eyes went to the MVN delegation and to the door as if to discreetly convey the message "Let's step out a talk about this outside..." |

The Queen nodded to let Emperor Julii know she saw his message. She then whispered something to the Pharaoh and they both stood up and walked out of the council chambers. Once outside the chambers she softly said to the Pharaoh "Don't make these meetings easy do they?". The Pharaoh shook his head and said simply "No.". Emperor Julii and King Jason then exited the Chambers and made their way over to the royal couple.

King Jason wondered why the Queen and Emperor had asked for a recess it must have been very important. King Jason also wondered if Director Vilora's question was the reason for the recess. "They sure aren't making this easy. I don't believe the Premier's story. Something very suspicious is going on I can sense it.'' King Jason said softly. For the look he got from Emperor Julii, Crown Prince Henry and Queen Cleopatra he could tell they agreed with him. |
