>>>>>[ Doctor Doom: I would never assume catching corporate scum would be
easy,
but his bunch is especially oily. There is an International order to maintain,
and Germany or another nation spend large amounts of time or energy searching
for any three individuals would upset that order. They can lodge their
complaints, but anything beyond that is not in the best interest of either
country.
General Trevor is a prime example of this. As an agent of the UCAS Government
he has dodged mountains of charges. He has left a long trail of illegal acts,
but instead of avoiding prosocution in these cases he has meet them head on and
proven his "innocence" to them all. Anything that we as agents of the PLA bring
to light will not be taken seriously since we are of a shadowy nature and he has
already beat the charges we bring as supporting evidence. Also the continued
support of the UCAS President makes him an invulerable target. Besides after
the attack on the Ambassadorial Jet, the equivalent of attacking an Embassy
itself, reduces the chances of any action being taken on our behave.
Tirandor is a different case, not as much because he is a dragon, but because he
is a businessman. Any sanctions of the Zurich Court will be monetary in nature.
He will mearly huff, pay the fine, and go on with business. As for any actions
taken as a member of the Omega Government, that will require proof and
prosocution. These are things that high priced lawyers are for. This doesn't
even take into consideration his absence at the time of the baser acitons taken
by the Omega Military.
Quention is of course a different case. Although both ego-centric and arrogant,
he has not proven himself stupid. In the face of the last few months events,
his disappearence for a few months would not be him "running away", but rather
lying low while the heat is on. He could and probably would appear again to
plague us all. Afterall for Dark Elf, you, and myself this is no longer
business, it is personal.
And yes, it does feel good to have ruined whatever plot the three were up to
with their space launching platform. I doubt they will be up to anything of
note for six monthes to a year from now. But as for losing Omega Island, which
I'm sure hurt, I just assume they will go back to the low key "corporate"
actions they have favored in the past.
While I do not underestimate the resolve of you people, I have a healthy
cynicism towards your government. The Germany government has proven itself to
be hot-headed. This would indicate that they will pursue this with vigor for
awhile and then drop it when something else comes along. Remember that easy to
find scapegoats are better than impossible to find villians. Also remember that
governments, yes even yours, like to take the easy way out.
With Quention, Tirandor, and Fung as the last remaining officers of the former
Omega government, it makes vigorous pursuit of the three almost useless.
Another problem will be the rather inactive roles that Quention and Fung served
in the Government. Fung, Secretary of the Interior I believe, was nothing but
a place holder for Quention. Quention, Secretary of Commerence, was a diplomat.
It will be hard to get people to believe they had an active role in the military
actions of the Government. Getting them might be possible, but the smart money
goes on them getting off. ]<<<<<
