While the Universal Council continued to monitor the situation on Mímir | While the Universal Council continued to monitor the situation on Mímir, as well as conduct investigations into both the Pinnacle and the disappearance of the Crimson Wolves’ command ship, tragedy struck. Imperial Councilor Julius Lycanis was found dead in his personal cabin when his ship reached Eden Lycanis, having departed from station Ignis after the previous conference. His wife, Marcia Lycanis, was able to open the gene-locked doors when she found him stabbed in the back with a curved dagger. | ||
Preliminary investigations revealed that his voice had been looped through the ship’s comms to reassure the crew only moments prior; additionally, forensics suggested that the dagger was not the main cause of death, but rather a poison found in Councilor Lycanis’ bloodstream, primarily manufactured in the Federation. Investigators also found that while Lycanis’ room contained a panic button, and the position of the body suggested that it was well within his ability to trigger the alarm, no such alarm had been raised. | Preliminary investigations revealed that his voice had been looped through the ship’s comms to reassure the crew only moments prior; additionally, forensics suggested that the dagger was not the main cause of death, but rather a poison found in Councilor Lycanis’ bloodstream, primarily manufactured in the Federation.

Upon consulting the Oracle, who revealed that the murder ‘did not come from within’, House Lycanis immediately appealed to the Universal Council to hand over Plíšková to them. | ||
The Empire, however, submitted two proposals to the Council: should House Lycanis be compelled to, they could conduct a DNA scan on the knife - though that risked further angering the House. On the other hand, should the Council agree to hand over Plíšková, the Empire was amenable to allowing the other factions the aid of the Oracle for a single vote in the future. Faced with these proposals, the Council brought the matter to a vote, with the seated Councilmembers briefing their respective factions accordingly. | The Empire, however, submitted two proposals to the Council: should House Lycanis be compelled to, they could conduct a DNA scan on the knife - though that risked further angering the House.

The final vote is in favor of conducting a DNA-scan on the knife that stabbed Julius Lycanis. Marcia Lycanis and her house have been informed of this decision. Though the outcome has clearly angered the house, they have done nothing to directly oppose the scan. A fleet containing some of the Council’s best forensic scientists has already been dispatched, and we are expecting results from the DNA-scan soon. | The final vote is in favor of conducting a DNA-scan on the knife that stabbed Julius Lycanis.
