With Fenris approaching them, the kitsune turned to them. "I am sorry about that, but things have been a bit interesting for us the last few weeks, what with the talks of a new government, the continued effort in trying to gain hold on the Old World Order, and now this. We aren't even sure if we will actually be a police force after this, if people deem us unqualified." Vari smiled.

I like uniforms." The burly tanuki looks a little disappointed when Sabella leaves without speaking to him. "Darn," he frowns, though the unusual facial expression does not linger on his round face, "I was hoping to get a little recognition with Sabella. If this police thing goes through, he might be making the decisions. I'll just have to try and catch him later. There were sign-ups around here somewhere, right?"

− | She attempted to then turn back towards Fenris and Razz in order to properly greet them, not before her head twitched back nearly a centimeter, whirring. "Pardon me. Edwards Air Force Base, ring any bells?" The kitsune robot gently smiles towards the tanuki. We can catch up later if you wish to go after Mr. Sabella. I'm sure he's not going to run off anywhere."

"This is going to turn out to be some gathering," Chell says not exactly to Rosi, but not talking through her either. "P'raps someone will say something new, something inspiring, something..." the executive trails off, searching for a word while twirling the carrot stick. "...something more than empty promises and double speak." The carrot returns to her plate, neatly arranged with the others in a row. "One must wait and see."</div><br> <br><div title="Miru">Sabella have disappeared by being surrounded by more people, so not really disappeared. Halfpaw nods at Ebreus, "Thank you for your kind word.

+ | Suddenly, most cmmunits start beeping...and the Prometheans announce the severing of ties with the K9s. The RSX and Z lobbies both jump into activity as they begin discussing the implications and trying to perform damage control to recover some of their arguments against the independent police force. The independent politicians appear more calm, still caught by surprise, but some of them are just glad due to the announcement. The Promethean delegation remains calm, some of its members looking almost smug at the political chaos that is occurring in front of them. Looks like things will take a bit to recover and go back on track.</div><br> <br><div title="Fenris">Fenris purses his lips in though. "Airforce base?" he muses, "Nope! Your going to have to remind me. Were there vampires? Or was that the one with the spear rabbits?" The big tanuki grins sheepishly. "I kinda get around a lot and I have a terrible memory for names."</div><br> <br><div title="Vari">Vari had to laugh at the Promethean announcement. "As if on cue!" The kitsune smirked at Razz. "Well, I think these problems have all been cleared up now anyways. Maybe this will make us more presentable now." She looked over the crowd, the politicians scrambling around to get better arguments now that one big driving force was eliminated. | ||

+ | When Naiko approached them, Vari nodded. "Hmm, I heard of the place, but haven't had any interaction with it. So I can't say I am familiar with you, either. But you seem to know me."</div><br> <br><div title="Aaron">Aaron raises a brow at the announcement. Okay, there's something you don't hear every day. Okay, so the K9s are no longer aligned with anybody. This has implications in all sorts of directions...and, predictably, people are flipping their shit about it. A brief nod of the bunny's head follows the formation of a plan of action: she needs to speak to Vari, who will undoubtedly know what's going on. Forging her way through the crowd - as gently as possible, but by force if necessary - she begins to make her way over to Vari, heedless of the others for the moment. Giovanni will wait.</div><br> <br><div title="Rosi">Rosi perks her ears at the ensuing buzz of activity. Casually the feline leans back against the buffet table, peering out into the crowd as she watches all the suits milling about and trying to figure out what just happened. "Politicians, lawyers, business types... none of them ever actually say anything worthwhile." She seems to be answering Chell's statement with her own, but she doesn't actually look the other woman in the eye. Instead she glances out of the corner of her eye and sizes the seemingly human Chell up.</div><br> <br><div title="Razz">Razz blinks and rubs his head, at the announcement. "huh.. so.. the paperwork finally went through.. or.. you were waiting till now to get it submitted?" he glances to Vari, grinning. "nice move, though... i think.." he chuckles and nods to Aaron as she comes over. "looks like you've made many people confuised now, Vari.." he chuckles again and shrugs "It was a long time coming though!"</div><br> <br><div title="Marcoant">Marcoant Go to the farthest cornen and get outs of his backpack what a first glance is a big pack of food, he starts to 'play' with the food and eating very slowly.</div><br> <br><div title="Naiko">"My, my, right place, right time." Naiko adds, towards the annoncement. "Vampires?" She chuckles, "No no no, only the military remnants with a supply issue and a very energetic flying... pony thing. I do remember your badge though, Chubbs." She laughs again yet again. | ||

+ | "Anyway, Miss Vari, I've only heard of some of your exploits, but It's a pleasure to meet you in person, for certain. I believe you should drink some water first, because I'm sure many politicians and supporters will be asking you questions for weeks."</div><br> <br><div title="Chell">Chell reacts to the announcement calmly, adjusting her glasses with he left hand while replying softly to the nearby feline. "While this is true what you say, the recent announcement should sway things in interesting ways." A smile finds her lips again, and she turns to face Rosi now. "A few things that were assured mere moments ago now have no basis in reality. Basically who watches the watchers, Miss..." again Chell trails off, waiting for the feline to respond.</div><br> <br><div title="Ebreus">Ebreus nods as Ms Halfpaw excuses herself just before the chaos of the anouncement is made. He manages to keep quiet as he looks over the chaos but not to suppress the grin on his face. He makes his way over to Vari and the K9 he is unfamiliar with as discreetly as an 11ft tall Hellhound in a clean and pressed suit can. He listens for Marcoant to reply to him but as no reply comes he instead says, "Hello again Dr. Arak'Than. I must say that was rather fortuitus timing judging by the response."</div><br> <br><div title="Rosi">"Jacqueline Rosewater." The feline extends a surprisingly manicured hand to the woman as she turns her head to face her. "But I go by Rosi. General contractor, handycat, occasional hired gun." Rosi's smile suggests a possible refinement to her that her outer appearance sorely lacks. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss..." Following Chell's lead, she trails off and allows the human to answer.</div><br> <br><div title="Vari">Vari laughed once again. "Well, to be fair. It wasn't me, that made that announcement. But I sure am happy that the Prometheans agreed to do it. Because this will leave an impression with everyone gathered here." The kitsune was clearly enjoying this situation. And now with more and more people approaching her, she knew that the effect was just as big as hoped. She nodded to Ebreus. "Well, you can't really make a good argument for your cause, when there is still doubt about your integrity." And finally with the bunny approaching, Vari smiled. "After all, I still have to fulfill my part of a promise I made."</div><br> <br><div title="Chell">Shifting the saucer to her empty left hand, the human shakes Rosi's with her right. "Chell. Just Chell. Nice to meet you Miss Rosewater." Retracting her hand Chell swaps the saucer back again. "And as a general contractor, how do you see this dog and pony show that's going on here? Or have you just been caught up in the curiosity of the supposed new government and policing?"</div> |

However, he was not the only aspiring politician here. Various other independents joined this fray in support of this effort, it was not a secret by now that the unaligned survivors were trying to take the reins of the government back from the Big Three, especially Z and RSX. That was not going to be easy, as politicians beholden to the two corporations also showed up in force, mainly keeping to themselves right now as their gazes threw daggers at Mr. Sabella. The Prometheans had their own separate delegation here, preaching support; however, skeptical minds do note that it is unlikely that they will unequivocally support a police force not influenced by their teachings.
Other than the invested parties, various mutants and survivors just came to watch the spectacle, people who just chanced the meeting or who do not know enough to form an opinion. Another oddity that can be noticed, are the armed guards standing around the edges of the gathering, a reasonable precaution given the recent attacks by the Old World Order.
The stage is set, and the players begin their moves. It is unlikely that the winner of this battle, will win the cold war for power, but it will certainly help.Naiko walked up to the host as well, following the other kitsune's example and bowing as she introduced herself. Her voice sounded partially synthetic, but gentle nevertheless. "Good afternoon, Sabella, yes? You can call me Naiko, it is a pleasure to meet you! I've taken interest in your efforts and I'd love to hear more about you later on. For the meantime, I'll meet the other guests."
Shortly after, she bows towards the familiar tanuki, Razz and Vari. "Ah, good afternoon to you too! I believe I remember some of you. Welcome to this little event."As Vari approaches Sabella, another familiar figure leaves his presence. It would surprise no one to see Miru here and questioning the pudgy politician, but she is soon lost in the crowd again, at least a drone floating further above the scene indicates that she is still around here. Regardless, Sabella turns and grins at Vari as she arrives. "Ah, if it isn't the leader of the K9 unit. It is a pleasure meeting you, Doctor Arak'Than. I am honoured by your presence, and I thank you for your service." He said in a deep, jovial tone. The alpha husky glances Fenris before looking back at Vari, "I see you are busy right now. Do not worry, I do not require your help right now. I am pretty sure your friends from New Dawn do however. They are right there." Sabella adds as he points at the location of the Prommie delegation, "Regardless, I must attend other business now. If you would excuse me."
Halfpaw is speaking to some of her colleagues when Ebreus. "Greetings, child. Yes, it is an honour that my fellow Prometheans chose me to represent our people here. I hope our influence aids in the betterment of all of us." The kindly roseander says with a motherly tone.
All in all, things are still going slow. More people are arriving, especially young, post P-day children fascinated by the idea of joining a 'police force'.
