In reply to the message from Polm Stover, Izixs sent back:
'Very well. A schedule space has been cleared while you are here. I've made arrangments to have you transported to the capitol where we can meet. As by the mentioning of urgent it also implies decent levels of discretion is required so we'll be meeting in an appropriatly secure area. If there is any individuals whom should be present request and I'll do my best to ensure they are there.
Though a general topic of discussion would be nice so I know what to expect and to be ready for. But if that is impossible I understand.
-First Speaker Izixs'

"Just to let you know, the purpose of this meeting is not being revealed to anyone. It is extremely rare that we even discuss things with visible leadership... But this is something you ought to be aware of.", said the somewhat more serpentine-than-usual lizard, Stover to Izixs.
"Among other things I request that you decline the offer for TIPS security here. TIPS in it's current state is an obstacle to it's own purposes and we can't keep them waiting behind trains and stuck traffic-lights for very long. You have about 5 minutes to tell them to turn around. Or else this meeting is cancelled and my... organization... may decide that informing you of these things is... unecessary", he continued, "In case your wondering. I'm here to inform you of some things, as well as give you information that would otherwise be filtered away from you by your own intelligence service."
A very quick glance to the side and the white Malych security unit which accompanied Stover pressed play on the boombox he had brought with him. A mix of extremely randomly discordant and very cacophonous speed metal blared loudly. Making it impossible to hear from outside the room, what was being said inside. It became evident from this side glance that 'Stover' was not organic, but instead a similar unit to the one with the boombox. The piece of contact lens had shifted just enough that the solid clear panel beneath it became visible.
'Stover' motioned Izixs to lean in very close to him. He did so hesitantly.
He said very close to his ear, "We have discovered unplanned mounting holes on critical valves on the fuel tanks of the Crystal Eye and we have reason to suspect that these are as the result of a planned and organized sabotage plot which may have been cancelled or rescaled closer to launch. This is something Reactor Specialist Taendo discovered not very long ago. A sabotage organized enough to put mounting holes in components which are always solid is definately something being conducted by trusted authority. And the butterfly project is no longer an internal matter for Tinis. We do not have faith in your bureaucratic systems to stop this, nor do can we wait for our own to put pressure on yours to stop it. So we are taking this matter into our own hands now.
My name is not Polm Stover, and my organization has no name. The Miokalian government hardly even knows of us. We are but a rumor. That is all I can say right now, because that is all I am set-up to know in compromised security such as this.
Do you understand?"
A moment later the Malych guard popped the tape out of the boombox, opened his mouth and popped it in. Then crunched it down. The tape was the key to decoding the conversation through waveform cancellation, and the guard had just destroyed it.

"I understand very well. And no TIPS agents will bother you. They have no authority in this building what so ever and we're very good at keeping it that way. And I'm quite glad news of the colorful insect reached you in time. But on that subject perhaps discretion was less than desirable. There's the hard way of shutting them down. Espionage, sneaking about. And all that. I'm tripping them up actively as is. Or there's the easy route. Have one of your diplomats tell one of our diplomats that you fellows found our secret. Do is quietly or do it loudly. It doesn't matter. I don't have to committ treason this way. No one has to die. TIPS is partially paralyze presently due to the investigation going on presently as you are no doubt aware of. The very new components council will not just be paralyzed but shut down if certain triggers are hit such as a formal complaint about their research from a foreign government.
"As for Lenord's project. This is news to me. The illegality of sabatoage is amazing to say the least. Even more so if as you seem to be implying, it was done by those whom were given the duty to construct the vessel. The only thing that would top that were if intelligence was heading it up. Sabatoage of military hardware, murder of civilians, murder of foreign nationals in our care, treasonous infilitration of a different branch of the armed forces, and yes it is treason for TIPS to do such, and of course high conspiracy."
Izixs opened the thin folder in front of him. "And one more thing," he says as he hands the paper over to Stover. "I know he wasn't a big fish. But my condolences on the loss of your agent in Centralis. The police attempted to pick him up in their initial dust up on their road to investigating TIPS. He choose the foolish route instead.
"I had a feeling you'd be someone I could give this to. Its a formal letter requesting a ceseation of spying activities. Cal will likely be getting one soon. The bonus is that you can use it as a half cover as to how you found out about our pretty insect's activities and that if a public appology and a promise to end opperations is given once the auditor report comes out about this whole mess, face can be saved a bit and hostilities cooled. Make sure it arrives on the right persons desk if you would."

[Just a heads up, as the content of this thread has diverged greatly, I'm suggesting and encouraging the breaking of this thread up into new threads from here on out. The subjects being: - The events about to transpire in Shimandu City with Lacania and all that spy stuff around it
- The 'afterlife' of 'Dusk' and agent Amble
- Events in Pargalo
- If it continues on, the events with the AIs and all that but that seems to be moving to different threads
As for the Hidden terror thread itself, I guess what ever gets continued here by the next poster is the one that will hopefully dominate from here on out. That is all.]

(OOC: Digging this one up to tie up another loose end, is all.)
The Erenmor clean-up detail stationed on Thack finished packing the remainder of the collected radioactive material onto the last of the sea planes by the end of one evening. A further half of the night was spent disassembling the camp and loading any additional radioactive waste the Calie wanted to be rid of onto further planes. When dawn came to the island, the contingent was well on its way back home, the only real trace of its presence being the various grooves on the beach where structures were and the odd tread tracks here and there.
No fuss, no questions asked, Thack was as habitable now as a nuke-blasted island could be made.
