Confrontation at Administrator Nirai Paerani Shan's Office
Sulen and Virmad are facing off against Administrator Shan, having dumped a (friendly!) baby mothling (Crowned-With-Eyes) and faked evidence of Remi's "heresy" onto her desk, as per this thread from Move 19.
Shan makes a brief show of checking the faked datacube for the evidence, but she's clearly feeling pressured with two Rahal standing right there and it doesn't appear she finds anything out of order in the "evidence." "All right," Shan says. She pulls up an appropriate form on one of her data slates and signs over Remi and the mothlings to Sulen and Virmad's custody, then outputs it to a data cube and hands it to them. "Do you require assistance locating Nirai Remi? Or would you prefer to handle that yourselves?" Her expression is resigned.
On the "Bumblebee"
- Mikodez is in Sasha's bedroom, following this thread from Move 19. He is currently alone, trapped, and recuperating, apparently having dozed off.
- Sasha and Iawa have made preparations to talk to Mikodez (see above) as per this thread from Move 19. They have agreed to meet outside Sasha's bedroom and confront Mikodez together.
- Alaric is still currently closeted with Gerae (and Fluffy), continuing this thread from Move 19. Gerae looks abashed at Alaric's critique of heptarchate social control methods and says, "You're obviously very knowledgeable about us and our methods. Are you a scholar? I hadn't realized your team did research." (He's clearly fishing for more information about the Merry Crew he has fallen in with.) Meanwhile, Fluffy curls up on his forearm and appears to doze.
NPCs:
- Ashari is in their office.
- Kaliyan is still manning the cockpit in preparation for escape.
- Yehan graciously thanks Sasha for the box of Remy's journals and begins scanning them into the grid for further analysis; this is a process that can largely be automated so she has set the grid up to alert her if anything looks like it requires her immediate attention, and goes to get some more tea.
- Ankat is keeping an eye on Istradez, who is still woozy and concussed, as per this thread from Move 19. He is available if anyone needs an extra pair of hands.

She does, at least, seem a bit mollified by Virmad's final remarks; her mouth softens in wry acknowledgment. Then she checks her slate again. "I'm informed that Remi is in custody. He's being transferred to the brig on Level Four. Lieutenant Kel Teo can handle things from there."

It Is Time
Re: It Is Time
Within, Lieutenant Kel Teo awaits them. He doesn't salute either Rahal--that would be inappropriate--but he bows just slightly too deeply, and his eyes flick to Virmad as if gauging Virmad's reaction. "Magistrates," Teo says, very formal. "I understand I am to facilitate the transfer of a...prisoner?"
[The bow could be read as either ironic or wary, take your pick.]
Re: It Is Time
Re: It Is Time
Moments later, two security officers escort Nirai Remi out of the brig. He has a black eye, which somehow doesn't do anything to diminish his beauty; but his expression is sardonically amused at the whole situation. Remi doesn't speak.
"Here you go," Teo says. "Do you want me to loan you my security people, to make sure he doesn't try anything...tricky?"
Re: It Is Time
[sorry for the long silence!!]
Re: It Is Time
[No worries!]
Re: It Is Time
Re: It Is Time
Re: It Is Time
Sulen had thought about suggesting to Virmad that one of them go to the lab and make sure the mothlings are transferred, but Teo might not be as willing to release a prisoner to a single Rahal, so Remi is going to have to remain the priority for now.
Re: It Is Time
Re: It Is Time
He bows slightly, which is more deference than the situation would normally call for, but not beyond plausibility for an inquisitor acknowledging an enforcement officer’s job well done. It’s the only appropriate thing he can think of that can come close to expressing this — stupid, he thinks, a little harshly — tangle of emotions.
[edit: sorry!!! I’ve been doing basically nothing but read the last two weeks and hadn’t thought about this at all.]
Re: It Is Time
Teo's own bow is a little deeper than the situation calls for, as well; it seems likely that he holds no ill will against Virmad for the situation. "Let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist," he says.
Remi's shoulders twitch, but he remains otherwise subdued.
[Virmad and Sulen will encounter no obstacles on the way back, so you can consider this thread complete. It will transpire once Virmad checks in that Teo has had a package forwarded to Virmad care of the Bumblebee, which according to Ankat has passed security scan and poses no threat--it's a book of poetry, which Virmad can explore at his leisure.]
