Venomous Atmosphere: Early this year the as you may remember you could hardly turn on your comm channel with out hearing reports, visualizations, story's and economic reports; situated around a planet in the QP-0493-039-G system and the forth of its six planets. The planets seemingly over abundance in raw resources and Location between the Deltan Federation and Star Fold Confederacy ensured that it would be of great importance in the future. However as you are now aware things did not go smoothly for the Federation who ought bought the local miners guild to take full colonization and political rights to the system. four with in five years of heavy deep crust mining a large pocket of chloride gas taped beneath the crust for eons was released. thousands where killed only the ones indoors at the time or in the pressurized dome city's of the less than hospitable temperate and polar regions survived. Now after the accident extracting the materials have proved to be much more tedious and is now proving to be a strain on resources for the core worlds. and talks of selling the planet to a independent contractual company is on the table. what ever does happen to this system we will keep you up to date on the situation as quickly as we confirm the facts.

J'han took the data rod out of his PDP, (personal Data Pad) tossing it into the reclaimer across the room where it would be liquidated back to its organic-silicon mixture where when next he needed it, it would be grown and encoded with what ever info he wanted to transport. The cabin suddenly elongated and twisted slightly for a second before returning back to its original state. a sure sign that his transport had just Jumped into the system in question. The news corporations did not have the full story. of coarse neither did he but that is what he was here for. As a member of the Elite Federation Investigation specialist he could get down to the bottom of it. what he knew was that the local government was not being as forth coming with the information as he would have liked, and his betters thought as much. The believed that the government was stock piling the surplus and giving the Dletan Government the table scraps.

J'han was walking the streets of the new domes of Valenhall, the planets capital. Having just met with Chancellor Wu he was now convinced that there was something afoot. I did not take long, reflecting back on their conversation. And some hacking that he had done earlier. Chancellor Wu was siphoning off  billions of credits off world thorough servile Confederacy corporations that were laundering the money through to a master corp based somewhere in this city. All very suspicious, it was then that J'han felt a blow to the back of his head and darkness over took him.

“he is waking up.” J'han head somewhere off in the distance, like a sound herd though water. Where the Blue Moon was he? Than it came back to him the whack on the head, then blurry visions of a hover car ride here, but where was here. His vision came slowly. There was a bright light over head sounding him in a pool of light and leaving the rest of the room in darkness, he was sitting in a uncomfortable wooden chair. A figure walked into the light, it was a tall woman, her hair braided to the side and the other half left strait and cut short, a Deltan noble.

“Greetings sir I am Karin T'so” she said, the light glistening off her dark skin. “Head of the T'so House and CEO of the Bendi Corporation.”.

“So tell me Karin” purposefully leaving off the honorary 'Lady'. What would one of the Highborn be doing all the way out here?” The corner of her mouth made a slight downward turn but other than that she made no sign of the displeasure that J'han was expecting.

“Why my dear boy,” she said putting all the oiliness in her voice that the noble class did so well. “Those who wish to stay in power must seek it out. This planet will be the crown jewel in my house. Outside of the Dletan Government, yet bribing off enough Starfold officials to get by this planet could fuel a hundred Armadas! And you have the audacity to not know that truly the Elite sent the wrong man. But if you are here I must act quickly for the coupe` to secede.

With a wave of her had two pars of hands form behind grabbed him and pulled him form his seat and dragged him to the back what where they joined another man and pulled there weapons. Clearly they intended to execute him on the spot after seeing that he did not know enough to prove that his betters did not know everything. Having to think quickly he let himself fall forward and let the two men dragging him to get ahead a little, just before hitting the floor he jabbed the backs of there knees and the fell backwards one of the dropping his gun that he was pulling form its harness. Garbing it he rolled on his back and shot the man all ready standing off to the side but before he could finish off the other tow the man he took the weapon form fell on him and tried to grab the gun. Using his superior flexibility he rocked on his back and warped his legs around the neck of the man and got on top of him. The other had rolled away and was getting to his feet but J'han grabs his ankle and he fell forward, with a sharp twist of his pelvis he snapped the neck of the thug, the man he just tripped was trying to crawl away and picking back up his gun shot the man in the back of the head. There was the slam of a car door and the sound of a hovercraft taking off down the street. Jhan know he had to work quickly or else all would be loss.

J'han needed to regroup, the government was funding the T'so house who was about to attempt a coupe` de ta. And being on of the major players of the Deltan High Houses T'so was no push over. Yet a move like this could ignite a Civil war. The Legislative body would stay high and dray but a House v House conflict could prove messy.

He had commandeered a small tug, would not do him much good in a fight seeing as it only had one forward firing cannon. But it was enough for what he needed. Radioing ahead to the government complex he informed Chancellor Wu Of the Coupe`. While she acted surprised J'han could tell even though the radio that she was fawning total surprise, maybe surprise of the timing but not of its coming.
“So she is in on it.”, he mused. But now the question had now become what he alone could do, something crazy,  but what? Just then an alarm sounded throughout the city, a battleship was coming and could be  seen just though the green clouds. Turning hard he raced to the air lock hoping to make it before the attack started.

Lady T'so sat at the rear of the battleship's bridge. “Open a channel to the chancellor.”, she commanded. “Chancellor Wu, are you ready to surrender to the T'so Family?”
