Re: Dark Side of the Moon - Day 5
As Desi finishes her sentence, a well decorated military man walks into the room. He is human, tall and muscular and about 50 years old. His dark skin and well cropped black hair contrast against his white military uniform.
"I am UPF consulate Grandin Spief. I oversee operations in this sector. When I ran your identities through our system, I found that you used false identification to enter here before obtaining proper IDs with Dr. Nuna. I also read your report about the Sathar attack on the shop of Ejidali. I know you are working with RIK Zzik'Ti out of Starport Security. While I appreciate he has the best interests of Kraatar in his mind, I am concerned that he is too close to the matter. So I checked your IDs further and found that you are cleared with the UPF on a security clearance. The Vrusk on Kraatar won't care about the clearance, but I do. Your file indicates your involvement on Volturnus, the discovery of the extra-dimensional invasion and the misguided attempt to thwart it using a bug virus that then got out of hand, and your final rescue and flight from the Starport Pegasus before it was destroyed by the Qantariate. Your rescue then brought you to this godforsaken planet, which now sees you entangled in further problems."
He takes a deep breath. "You have a lot more knowledge of the Qantariate than I do, first hand, at least. Given their involvement, I wouldn't be surprised to see them also involved in other matters here on Kraatar, even matters related to LeGrange--or at least Sathar involvement. Please continue to work on your investigation and to keep RIK Zzik'Ti apprised. Anything you tell him, you can assume I hear about, whether through authorized or unorthodox channels. And I report directly to the UPF. They are keeping an eye on you."
He shrugs. "While the UPF does not believe there is any connection between the Qantariate and events on Kraatar, I am not so sure. That's why we need eyes on the ground here. As UPF consulate general, I have little authority here on Kraatar, but the UPF stands behind your efforts. If you observe anything related to the Qantariate or Sathar from here on out, please keep me informed."
He touches some buttons on his PDA, and your own PDAs go off. "There's my contact information. Digitally record whatever you deem important to these matters, as evidence for the UPF."
