>>>>>[ Ahhhh...so the birds have flown? Very well, they shall become
international fugitives. As to Omega Island, our resolve has not diminished,
it is our desire to remove this government established during the false coup
d'etat (yet another example of Trevor and Quention's subterfuge and blatant
prevarication) from power. Further, we desire to be certain they shall be
unable to return to Omega and once again place it under their heel. I have
been quite negligent in responding to questions and comments as of late, and
thus here is my attempt at catching up:

Highlander: Any perceived similarities between myself and the rather irate
German delegate at the United Nation general assembly hall are *entirely*
coincidental, I assure you...

Spirit: Assuming operations proceed with expected rapidity, I have every
intention of attending the marriage ceremony. And in line with that statement:

To my friend Dark Elf and his honorable associates: If you had wished to avoid
"ripples" throughout the international community, you might well have mentioned
that criteria earlier! (expressed with considerable sarcasm, of course) As to
the question of possibly "hitching a ride", I believe that agreeable
arrangements for our transport to Seattle may be established, if you are truly
interested.

A final word on the Three, i.e., Trevor, Tirandor, and Quention: Pursuit of
them shall result in encountering considerable vicissitude. Unless everyone
concerned is particularly inclined towards lone, personal trace and destroy,
perhaps the most appealing method would be as international fugitives. This
will, however, require proof of their wrongdoing. Before anyone mentions the
Tirandor Square massacre, the point should be made there must be evidence
collected that one of the Three directed the action.

There is already a deluge of information regarding the Three, all that is
involved now is convincing an international, or national, intelligence or law
enforcement agency as to the legitimacy of such data, and conducing them to act
upon it. Interpol would be a possible start. Certainly, should the UCAS turn
on Trevor, the CIA may deem it appropriate to join in the chase.

Were it not for the fact that I find the Three entirely despicable, and totally
devoid of honor, I would feel the most minuscule motivation to marginally pity
them. Considering the condemnation found in international circles, i.e., the
United Nations, in economic circles, i.e., the Zurich Orbital court's ruling,
the freak accident that annihilated their chemical production facility in
Copenhagen, and the truly awe-inspiring number of people whose wrath they have
engendered, their resources are considerably less abundant than previous.
Soon, they shall expend all options of locations to which to flee. And then
they shall know, and in knowing they shall fear, that the end has come.

"Like to the Pontick sea,
Whose icy current and compulsive course
Ne'er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on
To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
Even so my bloody thoughts, with violent pace,
Shall ne'er look back, ne'er ebb to humble love,
Till that a capable and wilde revenge
Swallow them up."
-- Othello

"The hum of either army stilly sounds,
That the fixed sentinels almost receive
The secret whispers of each other's watch;
Fire answers fire, and through their paly flames
Each battle sees the other's umbered face;
Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs
Piercing the night's dull ear; and from the tents
The armourers, accomplishing the knights,
With busy hammers closing rivets up,
Give dreadful note of preparation."
