"Discussions"

Con't from Erik's "Party in Power"

=========

Location: ESPERION

Stardate: 2422 [2.7] 0102.1748

Scene: Office

 

<NOTE: This will occur before my previous post, probably simultaneously to
Erik's>

 

The man that was seated at the desk considered himself to be important - and
most people who knew him would agree that he was.  He was famous, his name a
household one throughout not only all of ESPERION, but also on some nearby
neighboring planets in nearby neighboring star systems.

 

Like most great men, he was hated by some, loved by others, feared and
respected by other still, and all for different reasons.  While many people
knew him and talked to him, his mind worked on so many different levels that
one could not possibly hope to know and understand them all - or even a
small portion of them.

 

At the moment he was sitting at his desk in his office, supposedly going
over some reports, but in reality running through an upcoming expected
meeting in his head.  A very important visitor would be arriving soon - the
man who had been responsible for the deaths of the first two priests and who
tonight would as well be responsible for the death of a third.  The man
wanted to express his pleasure at the swift and undetectable way the first
two had been dispatched, while also giving instructions for the
assassination of the third.

 

He shook his head slightly - he had been over what he was going to say a
hundred times, and was as sure of it as he was of the difference between
night and day.  All there was now to do was to wait until the time of the
appointment came around - the assassin was never late.

 

With the resolve of a man who knows he has nothing to worry about and
everything under control, he pulled the first report towards him and began
reading.

Scene: Palthainon Compound

 

"Ah Mr. Clarkson," Daniel turned his head and nodded politely in the
direction of the High Priest who was steadily approaching his standing
position.  "Now that I have gone through my daily rituals, I believe we have
the time to speak more candidly - perhaps you would like to tour my compound
while we do so?"

 

"That would be fine," Daniel said, nodding in the direction of Harris - a
wave of understanding passed between the two men and Harris discreetly
removed himself from the area - he would go check on the guards that had
been provided by the Government and provide Daniel with a report on their
readiness when the marine asked for it later.

 

Palthainon led the way, and for the first part of the tour he just discussed
the various parts of the compound they were seeing - little anecdotes and
historical information that under different circumstances Daniel might want
to explore further.  As it was all he could do was marvel at the outward
calm appearance that the Priest, who knew that potentially at any moment he
could be the target of an assassination attempt.

 

"I imagine however that we have better things to discuss than the historical
features of this place," Palthainon led them out onto a balcony, where they
continued their walk.  "So tell me Mr. Clarkson, what plans have you made?"

NRPG: I initially wanted to do more with this post, but got hijacked by the
family making plans to do stuff - I will write the rest of this tomorrow.
