The shadows begin to move

Superintendent Damin reads over the report from the subordinate that he had sent to watch the meeting between Dr. Lanvin and Dr. Eceem at her family residence. What precious little there was to it. He growls in frustration and just keeps from hurling the report across his office. Not for the first time he curses Dr. Lanvin for her meddling and not for the first time he curses the damn Federation and in particular two particular members of it. Everything was starting to fall apart because of them and his superiors had threatened several various forms of unpleasantness if he didn't contain the situation somehow. But he had been prohibited from making Dr. Lanvin and Dr. Eceem or their families disappear. While that would be the most expedient manner of dealing with the situation, his superiors had concluded that since both were prominent members of their fields and as such prominent members of society it would cause far more trouble then it was worth to dispatch them.

 

Damin closes his eyes and mutters "Damn those fools. How do they expect me to solve their problem if they won't let me..." His voice trails off as a thought occurs to him. Perhaps the answer wasn't to deal Dr. Lanvin and Dr. Eceem..perhaps the problem could be solved by dealing with the Federation...or one particular part of it. He smiles coldly as the idea forms fully in his mind. He taps the intercom on his desk and says "Lira, find out if we're still holding that little large eared troll and have it brought here immediately....quietly."
