W2D7 | Public Broadcast: Kendry Hunt Update
[The scene opens with a camera panning around the J21 news room, three anchors sitting primly against a tasteful navy backsplash. The leftmost anchor clears his throat, stacking a sheet of papers together neatly before addressing the camera.]
Now we turn to news on the latest scandal to rock the royal houses of the Quad. Covering this special report is our senior Quad correspondent, Atarion Murdock. Atarion?
[ The feed cuts away to reveal the smiling face of an older gentleman, dark hair artfully touched with threads of gray. His smile is perfectly sculpted as he stands on the gently rolling deck of a company cruiser set on the waters just before a private Qreshi estate. After a pause, Atarion bows his head in thanks to his coworker. Even in hardcore scifi, news anchors wait an obligatory twenty seconds before their address. ]
Thanks, Tom. New information has arisen in the wake of the purported attempt on Lady Derrish's life - information that potentially indicates one of the Houses as perpetrators of the crime.
[He pauses then, to give the camera a knowing look, lets the moment stretch for effect before he continues.]
An informant tells me that Land Hyopnia is being treated with extreme scrutiny as investigators of the RAC begin to make their case. While they have not been able to divulge too many specific details, I can tell you that I've seen some of the reports with my own eyes. I can assure you all that these agents have been thorough. This report, expected to be released any day, details clear criminal activity by Land Hyponia's scions... and, quite possibly, even their leader.
As you'll recall, Land Hyponia recently claimed new soil on Qresh. However, our understanding is that, as part of their investigation, that claim may be called into question as well. As for Land Simms, well... [he shrugs and shakes his head] My informant wasn't clear on their involvement, so we'll just have to wait and see what the RAC found.
Sadly, the security attache still refuses to let us land on... any... of the Estates, so we cannot address any of the Nine directly. For now.
[Another smile and a nod.]
Back to you, Tom.
