Critical Point "We must view the situation as a critical point. A juncture, a convergence point." "You are of the opinion we should not have used the emitters?" Pagan hesitated, covering the moment by bending to pour the tea. The use of the sonic emitters had curtailed the budding disaster quickly, there was no denying that, and the recovery teams had been efficient in moving aside the people and dealing with them in an orderly and timely fashion. No one could berate them for their inefficiency. Other than being shaken up by the sonic discharge and enduring varying degrees of headache, there had been no lasting harm done to anyone involved in the mini riot. "The desired result was produced with the least amount of injuries. It is merely regrettable that the defence system is now known, but at some stage, inevitably, it would have become known to the authorities." "Who is complaining the most?" "The Police Chief." "Never did like him. Treize hated dealing with him." A quick glance revealed Milliardo with his head tilted back, eyes closed and bare feet stretched toward the fire, the oversized chair affording him a comfortable position. Pale blonde hair cascaded over his shoulders and arms to shimmer gold in the firelight. "I have reviewed the security arrangements for tomorrow's session at the House of Representatives and adjusted matters I considered to be… inadequate… in light of today's events. The head of the ESUN's security department has proven to be more cooperative in the matter than I initially expected. Security for the introduction of the Princess Royal as Sanc's Peace Ambassador at the gala tomorrow evening has also been upgraded. In addition a security cordon will be in effect around the gates to this residence prior to all future departures and arrivals." "Relena is a bit miffed with me, I think." "Miss Relena will get over it." A low sigh. "Too bad if she does not. She knows what they say about me and I'll not have her placed at risk. I have a certain reputation, we both know that, and nothing is likely to change it in the short term. We may as well use it to our advantage instead of to our detriment." "One would prefer to keep a low profile, Sir, if at all possible. There is really no need to paint a target on your back." "Agreed, but no matter how much time might pass, they will not forget who I am. Or what was done. If they do forget then we failed in teaching the lesson." "I am not disagreeing, young man, but we should move with care and attempt to limit the instances where your reputation might be made use of. One should never overuse a weapon lest it weaken and fail when one needs it the most." ~ * ~ |
