| Beings!
I bring you a tale most foul of the perfidy of the Sluissi. In good faith several months ago the Vjunite people purchased a vessel from Sluis Van to act as the flagship of a new squadron, during a recent maintenence trip several Sluissi were seen to be acting suspiciously and on investigation a proton torpedo was found with the casing removed inside a panel of the reactor housing of the main ion drive.
The Sluissi face the death sentence for sabotage. We demand satisfaction from Sluis Van in the form of a full refund of all monies paid for maintenence work and also for the initial purchase of the ship, in addition to a full apology for the actions of their agents.

| This is a rather curious charge, Senator Oriel. Sluis Van has never had any issue with Vjun and we have always been on good terms. The team sent to Vjun to refit your ships and deliver, if I recall, one of our new product vessels was led by a Sluissi by the name of Rassk Vissk. Mr. Vissk comes from a prestigious family on Sluis Van and is one of the up-and-coming engineers of the future generation.
I would request that further evidence be brought to light before any sentences are carried out. We have, after all, sent no 'agents' as you call them. Once this is decided, if a refund is necessary for the vessel and repairs made, monies will be paid out. Of course, we will repossess the vessel sold. The refits that were made thus far will be allowed to stand.

Senator, Sluis Van

| It is now a matter for the Justice system of Vjun, one which I shall not interfere in. No doubt the evidence shall be brought up in the trial this afternoon. We wish to warn all other purchasers of Sluissi technology to check for similar interference.

| As you brought this to the Senate, Senator Oriel, and while it may be a matter for the Vjunite justice system, this has the capacity to become a serious diplomatic incident, as I'm sure we can all agree. I would think that such an incident should have more than simply the Vjunite justice system on hand to verify the facts; high sabotage is a very serious crime. Mind you, Senator Domon, I am not accusing nor exonerating your people. If they are guilty, by all means punish them, but the proof should be crystal clear on such a heinous act that could have threatened lives.

| If the trial is this afternoon, Senator Oriel, I will have to ask that you postpone it so that a Sluissi arbiter may be sent. It is customary for a Sluissi citizen to be represented by an arbiter of Sluis Van in any serious matters. I will have one dispatched at the utmost haste.

| "As I say, it's not within my power to intervene in the justice system. Nor would it be right to do so." spoke Oriel. "The traditions of foreign worlds are not relevant. They will be offered court appointed fair representation, or they will be allowed to represent themselves. The trial is underway as we speak I am told, and by tradition and law I am unable to correspond with a Magistrate hearing a case."

| If that is so, Senator Oriel, then I request a stay of punishment pending the outcome of the trial so that an inquiry can be made. The haste with which your justice system is proceeding is rather alarming and I must say, I can agree with Representative Stark that I would like to see proof of this crime that is said to have occurred.

| Surely you jest, Senator Oriel? The Sluissi plant bombs on a ship they built for you? Preposterous. Sluis Van and Druckenwell have been close friends and trading partners for some time now and we've never had an issue with them. Oh, granted, every world has its troublemakers, but I don't see the Sluissi, who are notoriously hard to anger and slow to reach that point, instigating such a hasty action as to plant a bomb, especially one that could be easily discovered. I dare say if a Sluissi were to sabotage something it would be far more insidious than that.

| If Sluissi citizens are executed at a trial lacking proper representation by a Sluis Van arbiter, lacking proof of a crime and that is rushed as much as your justice system is rushing it, Senator Oriel, coupled with the fact that nobody in your government seems to be able to alter the trial, there may be repercussions. I suggest you do what you can to withhold any sentencing until a more thorough investigation is made.

| I appreciate your willingness to pass on the message and make recommendations. Barring acceptance of this, I will ask that the Imperial police forces take these Sluissi into custody and reexamine the case. As always, Senator Oriel, we work with those who are willing to work with us.

| Unfortunately I cannot agree, clearly this is a crime committed within the jurisdiction of Vjun and does not require the intervention of the Imperial Justice system.

| It's a crime without clear proof, Senator Oriel. Where is the holo footage of this crime? Where is any specific data that shows anything was done by Sluissi? If all your people have is word-of-mouth, which I might add, is simply he-said she-said, then this entire matter is farce. I can simply say my engineers didn't do anything and it's my word against yours, Senator. I would call for a neutral party.

| Senator Domon, how are you privy to the details of this affair when I myself am not? This is a matter for the judicial system and it is extremely improper for you or I to guess as to the facts until the Judge announces his ruling. I am in possession of no evidence, I am not the Prosecuting Attorney.
Let us await the Judge's ruling.
