Re: [Pre-Phase: Mission 2] Elevator Capacity
Malik leaned back in his "egg", squirming and restless. The 30 hour "Simulation Training From Hell" had lived up to it's name, but it had it's benefits. Malik's senses were sharper, to a degree, but that was probably just his body getting used to the fast paced action of being a frame runner. One of the first things he had learned in the simulation was that having a slow mind and body was a synonym for death. Another lesson was that he couldn't rush into everything blindly, like an idiot.
For that reason, Malik tried looking at the announcment in a different light. And it didnt just add up. Sure, attacking the concert would cause a big splash. A big spash that get's the notice of any foreign powers, who would not be all that happy to hear that two musicians had been killed in a backwater system that couldnt control its own people. If anything, the declaration that the concert would be attacked was just false. But what was their real targ- Oh Maulk.
Malik urgently cleared his throat and raised his hand.
"Marranr, It doesnt make sense. First of all, we thought the VKRL was wiped out, and they show up all of sudden fifteen days ago, here on the Iceglobe, and now they declare that they will attack the concert. For one, how the hell did a supposedly dead terrorist organisation not only obtain Black Frames, but where did they get the Copy VANDR that Vaytulri Farouk engaged?" Mal paused, composing his next thought.
"Secondly, it doesnt make any sense to attack a concert held by two foreign musicians. Two foreign musicians who'se country we know very little about. It seems that attacking a concert would just bring foreign powers down on the Iruotl system, like Neesh to a carcass I believe the Sund Wakir saying is? I don't think the Concert is their real target, I think it's just a cover. There is a chance that the VKRL, whoever they really are, are truly targetting the Orbital Elevator."
