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.

''Transmission from Calvin Chase, second clerk in the office of President Lee'' | |||
Hey there, all you Federation Explorers! They needed someone for the transmission since Ms. Plíšková is currently being held in custody, so that duty falls into my humble hands. I’ve been fully briefed on the situation by President Lee of course, but I’m not exactly used to this kind of direct communication, so forgive me if I slip up here and there. | Hey there, all you Federation Explorers!

''Comm from Aish Fenix, Union member and Vox representative'' | |||
Hey there Comrades, me again. Haley’s off still; she’s helping on board the Bastion for this UC conference. The events of the past votes have been hard on all of us, but I think she’s taking it worst of all. She’s helping out the refugees from Morn at the moment, and hopefully that’ll do her some good. | Hey there Comrades, me again.
