[The feed flicks on. This is the first time Eliyen has shown her face - all of her contact with the Foreigners up until now has been via audio. She looks like what some would describe as a "tough old bird", or a martinet - someone who won't brook any nonsense.
And on that subject, she doesn't look particularly happy.]
This is Arbitrator Eliyen of the Guild of Justice and Arbitration.
There has been an increase in crime due to the recent Dust contamination. All crimes will be treated exactly the same as they would be without the influence of the Dust, both by Foreigners and kedan. Everyone would do well to look after each other.
We will not let an event such as this disrupt the city’s day-to-day life.
...though on that note, perhaps this occurred because your fractiousness was seen as a weakness. We cannot have any weak links in the chain of the city, because one vulnerability could harm us all.
Case in point.
[She will not be replying to any comments (she's a busy woman, after all), but feel free to talk amongst yourselves!]

Also, she doesn't see the point of making threats, its not like dust-influenced are responsible for their own actions. ]

[ Everything she's just said seems incorrect to him. ]
Just so I know, you do know that the dust is in the water supply, don't you? Which means several people have come in contact with it by complete accident. You also know that this is a mind altering [
parasite] drug and that can cause increased aggression and hallucinations which is most likely the cause behind the recent string of crimes.Now, why exactly are we holding the victims accountable for something the terrorists have done?
[ He doesn't really expect an answer because there can't possibly be a good one, though now he'll file away 'find arbitrator' on to his 'to do' list. ]

[Zelos is amused. Very amused. He doesn't quite sound like he's taking this seriously.]
Look, I don't know much about Dust, but shouldn't we be going after the people distributing it? What you're suggesting doesn't sound much like justice.

Please feel free to send your complaints to someone who isn't currently dealing with case files out the earholes from all of this Dust nonsense. Or you could, you know, help.]

And she is helping. There's a huge rodent with a propeller bow and a shovel out in Greenhouse Territory slowly working his way through the soil. ]

At least you're doing something instead of just throwing a tantrum about how mean the Arbitrator is. Good job, Sheena. You get a gold star. Or at least one of those "you tried" stickers.]

Hmmm. Sheena must be having an off day if she's not throwing a tantrum. No, really, protecting the people comes first. Then she'll throw a hissy fit. ]
