better.
Maybe I should send Solitaire and Nex the 100000 ny I got from the corporate
court. Watch what you have wrought.
Trideo clip: Award Ceremony: Tir Tairngire News Network
Palace in wooded area. Prince Aithne presenting young Tir noble Orichalcum Oak
Leaf medal in large private presentation ceremony. Then businesssuited men
present same young elven noble with a Corporate Court Hero Cluster Medal.
Prince Aithne Speaks: . . . Lord Solariel has conducted himself in the highest
standards of Tirian Nobility. By actively reporting to the Interpol and the
Corporate Court what he knew of the illegal miscreants . . . . It is therefore
my pleasure to award him a Patent of Influence in the Tirian Military and a
permenent seat on the Council . . . . These acts of selfless bravery have
helped to cement the relationship between Tir Tairngire and the Corporate
Court. Please welcome on stage Lower Justice Tomas Zester of the Corporate
Tribuneral . . .

You were just fantastic. I must thank you for helping me. Just so you under-
stand the magnitude of your help let me explain. The Corp Court and the Tir
were never close - alot of friction between them actually. When I learned about
Miltech & co I saw my opportunity. When I sold AJ & co down river, I became the
diplomatic bridge between the Tir and the Court. After all, here was a Tir
noble risking his life to help Interpol and the Court. Then I set things up so
that you would get a chance to attack me. BTW, I had nothing to do with the
Roxey kidnapping - I only found out about it, and your 'run against it by apply
ing a large dose of magical spying. So then I put myself in harms way, knowing
you'd attack. Which of course you did. Thank you.
Now think about how this looks. Tir noble does good deed by giving info to
Interpol about shadowrunner terrorists, then terrorists - in hotblooded revenge
try to kill Tir noble.
Thats right, now I'm a hero and almost-martyr. The Corp Court and Interpol
apply pressure, and my friends lobby the Tir Council ---- poof "Lord" Solariel
, the hero, the almost-martyr, the diplomatic pipeline between the Court and
The Tir, is granted honors, a permenant seat on the Council, and a Patent of
Influence in the Tir Military (read private army and resources). Now I'm a
viper's strike away from becoming a Real Council Prince, and after that a
High Prince. I want to thank you very much. ******Worm Self-Destruct Sequence
