Ta looked at the letters "Well for one you can'r prove where these came from, two I was going to offer you a deal. Thirdly those shoulder launched rockets are not from a southern nation, they are far to crap. There assault rifles as easily damaged and basically shite...I would be safer in front of a firing squad and behind."
Ta glared at Stidham (she wasn't wearing much and didn't seem very bothered about the situation) "Look you speak to us you will get air support, we will give you weapons, all we want is good allie in the north....And do something about your election system it seems a bit messed up.
Oh yeah quit being an arse hole and you might have a chance...Here'syour cash back" she ended throwing money in Stidham face.

Stidham sat for a moment, his face becoming hard. He banged on the walls, and the IFV stopped, its doors opening. He spoke with a calm, and quiet voice.
"Get. Out. You have proven to me that your people are not worth my time. You aren't even worth the ammunition it would take to shoot you. You can tell your people that they are no longer welcome here. You know nothing of honor, and from these actions, I'm sure your people are the same. We want nothing from honorless curs who show no respect for national sovereignty. Get out. If I see you again I will have you shot for whatever reason I come up with at the time. Good day madam."

Ta stepped out of the IFV and shouted at the top of her lungs "I challenge Stidham to fight here and now, if is such a coward not to fight let it be known your minister of war will not fight! I am a female I carry no weapons so wish a hand to hand fight!
Is he such a coward he will not even fight a female?
But he needs a gun, **** him he will need a gun."
Ta sat down knowing that Stidham wanted to shoot her, but now had to fight her.

The moment she uttered the words 'not fight a female' several people began booing, most of them females themselves, and shouts of 'shut up!' and 'I work night shifts!' followed soon after.
"You would dare, challenge me? Are you so mindless as to come here and insult me, and my Packbrother, and challenge me to a fight? Know you nothing of our laws and culture? A duel is a private, intimate affair between equals, not the loud mutterings of drunks and petulant children!"
"Do you even know of the Rites of Combat? Or perhaps the Challenge of Equals, its Ai'lupan equivalent? Have you absolutely any scrap of knowledge or respect for the country whose sacred ground you trod upon? Get out of my sight, you honorless and witless child. Come back when you learn some manners. And tell your superiors to send someone who has outgrown childish outbursts and knows what they're bloody doing."
With this, he closes the door to the IFV, and its engines revv up to drive off.

Ta shrugged and muttered "That could have gone better" then wandered off to the bar she much preferred.
It was a shit hole, full of scum and low life who by this time in the night were very drunk. By now they know better then to try and tough her. One didn't and she decked him with a single blow, the usual gangs were in.
"Bar fur, that whisky that you say is free for anyone that can down it all."
There was silence, they knew the green chick could drink but a full bottle of the strongest whisky, surely not.
The bar fur placed it in front her she pulled the cork and drunk, drunk, drunk and placed the empty bottle down.
The bar fur stared her, she should be dead by now, I mean.....
Ta smiled "You got any thing stronger?"
If Stidham was the brightest of the war lords round here...ancestors help them. She figured as she noted some face she had noted earlier entering the bar these guys were crap. She hadn't even so much as bent a law, and they had not even bothered to change people. They were taking the decoy, Ta figured she was, most likely to be killed. But Queen and country and all that she wondered if it would be a skiing, kitting, rock climbing or driving accident would be on her grave.
She smiled as a shot of her favourite whisky was placed before her and the gang lord walked over to her.
"Hey babe whatcha doing?" the vulpine asked. "Well avoiding them, they seem to be following me" Ta replied. "Me and my guys will deal with that." "You don't hav..."
Ta retreated to the end of the bar and listened to the mess.Again she had not commited any crime and the bar staff would back her on that.

Soon enough, the brawl attracted the attention of InSec agents..and two of them strode into the bar, wearing cloaks and hoods of black. Each was a wolf with black fur and red eyes. Unlike most of their compatriots, however, these eyes were neither glossed over from drug use, nor searching for companions. These were the eyes of hunters, and they locked onto the Teerie.
Each one walked towards her, stopping well beyond arms reach. The Militias could handle the ruffians, but this was an outsider.
"You'll have to come with us, ma'am."

Ta looked at them and asked "On what grounds? I am under the protection of Queen Lo as her subject. Mis treatment of her subjects will result in her having to act. I have not broken any law leave me alone"

"Per Article Seven of the Internal Security Codex, any and all travellers without proper identification papers can be held for questioning indefinitely in order to ensure the safety of Aatuylva. If you cannot be proven to be an Aatuylvan citizen, then you will also be held for illegally entering the country with possible espionage charges. And Aatuylva recognizes no foreign power nor their influence that does not have formal relations with Aatuylva. As such, since we do not know your country of origin, and you are obviously not a Tinisian, who are far more polite, we must ask you again, to come with us to ascertain your identity and your threat to Aatuylva."

Ta slowly drew her entry papers from her bag and her passport. She laid them in full view of the others in the bar.. None were forged and they were in order. She was a worker in the pleasure industry at the place that many high placed members of the gov went to.
She smiled "Please feel free to explain why I'm not there tonight, after last night they like me"

One of the InSec agents takes the papers, and looks them over.
"And where are your transit papers? And the security papers signed by Lady Secretary Volvolen that you would need to work at a government facility? The military passes with a Lord Commander's signature in order to use transport during a military crisis? I assume you know the names of these government officials so that we can verify your location? At any rate, if they aren't the Consuls, then they aren't important, and the Consuls have their own private....escorts."
The other agent shifts on his feet, pulling a pistol.
"We won't ask again. Please come with us. I also add that resisting the officers of Internal Security is also a crime."

Ta smiled "I don't work at government facilities. As for the other reasons, they are trumped up, prove I worked anywhere. Last I checked should a gent wish to leave me a gift after a night, it is up to them. But I will come to sort things out."
She muttered "If I was a spy I was one meant to be caught."

"We have transport waiting outside. You will consent to being bound in order to ensure the safety of all inside. You will also allow yourself to be blindfolded under interests of national security. If you'll please come outside, we will escort you to the transport waiting. Any attempts to resist or escape will be met with force."
Outside, a convoy of several armored cars and IFVs wait, all of them painted dark colors and without any identifying marks of any kind. An Ai'lupan opens one of the side doors of an armored car...
---------------------------
The Governor worked desperately, composing a letter to be given to Ambassador Guw...
"Dearest Ambassador, I would hate to bring you into this, but things are reaching a fever pitch, and with all of these outsiders about...I fear for my country, and I believe Stidham will make a move towards martial law very soon if this keeps up. I beg of you to intervene, for the sakes of the innocent people within my borders."
He couldn't see her personally, fearing he would get pushed away by security..he hoped his secretary was trustworthy enough to deliver this..

Ta smiled "Kinky like? No problem. I'm like a flare and am into that kinda thing."
She hoped the secret service round here knew a flare meant a contact point.

"Flares are used to call reinforcements for war, so I'd hope you aren't one ma'am. Then we'd have to kill you on principle. You will enter the vehicle, and allow us to chain your hands to your legs and blindfold you. This way ma'am."

Ta was compliant "Flares call attention, that is all."
