The Apology of Authority

[Valodya Bassarov]

(I had to draw Das Kapital at Marxmas, that was easier for me to draw than the person who had to draw Max Weber)

Bassarov watches as BB attempts to draw Das Kapital. He wonders if Zero will get it. She might, but it is not an easy thing to draw without using words.

[Hoshi]

"Sure, we can go for some coffee. That's just fine by me. I can put this on automatic."

I set the dial to automatic, so it switches from hot to cold every hour.

[Soren]

"We could talk the Red Infinity woman who is talking to us, for starters." Soren suggests sarcasticly. He puts his hand on Sakari's shoulder and turns the anarchist to face the Ministry of Peace operative standing behind them.

[Cephrien]

Ceph smiled and blinked a few times. "..Heh alright.. well.. where do you want to go..?
I like coffee but i'm not the type to choose which kind.." He said

[Hoshi]

"I thought I saw a coffe shop across the street from the Ministry of Terror. We can go there since it would be the closest." I suggest to him.

I smile and we walk upstairs and leave the Ministry of Terror to find the coffee shop. I sit down with him and order an iced Chai.

[Sakari Lehtinen]

Sakari sidesteps away from Soren, begining to wonder how much more his feathers will be ruffled before he stabs Soren in the eye with his rapier.

I smile and extend my hand to the Red Infinity operative. "My apologies, I was a tad distracted by my colleagues. My name is Sakari."

[Xiaolong Li]

"That's good, good." There was an odd silence that Li hates, "Well I too the initiative of finishing up some of those documents you wanted done. So...you won't have too much work on your hands just getting out of the hospital." Li informed her.

[Aung San Suu Kyi]

"My name is Suu Kyi. I am here on behalf of the Ministry of Peace. I sought your group before I was aware that you were not the ones behind the Ministry of Education bombing. It is a pleasure to meet you Sakari, but I am uncertain what precisely I can do for your violent friend." I shake his hand.

[Cephrien]

Ceph didn't know all the different varieties of coffee and things like that.. so he just ordered a regular cup of coffee. He smiled and looked at her. "..So.. how've you been doing lately? ..Anything happen?"

[Sgt. Marbo]

"Admiral, I think what Miss Warren has to offer could really help us, both." Marbo suggested.

[Lady Violet]

"That's wonderful." I reply. Normally I am a better conversationalist, but at the moment I find that I am only able to talk about work.

There are many unsaid things, about Lin-Sat, about what I did, that I know people are aware of, but are afraid to ask, and I am afraid to talk about. But for some strange reason I feel that I can confide in Li.

"I did a foolish thing. The accident was my fault. I shouldn't have been on the road driving. I should have...stayed in my office."

[Sakari Lehtinen]

"But you said that we weren't the ones who commited the crime, so why isn't he allowed to be released?" Sakari replies.

[Hoshi]

"Not a whole lot. I heard that you are doing really well for Red Infinity. I am impressed. Someday you might be a leader in Beijing if you keep up the hard work!"

[Soren]

Soren watches Sakari talk to the representative from the Ministry of Peace. He figures he will just stay quiet. If there is one thing he is not, it is a peacemaker. He leans against the black van and crosses his arms as he listens.

[Cephrien]

Ceph blinked a few times and then stared up at the ceiling. "...A leader..?" He asked and then imagined himself in charge.. very hard...
"...naw..i'm just doing my job.." He said and smiled. "...If it weren't for me being a Black Demon.. i wouldn't have survived this far..."
