"I am agent Ella Beckers of XPOL. I've been ordered to deliver a request from the organisation I belong to." - Ella said in a very formal tone. She stood at ease, with her hands clasped behind her. "Do you wish to hear it in private, or should I say it here?"

Ile Bizard, Montreal. Afternoon. March 3rd.

Code:
"Always with the magic"
, Kuki joked, although, as always, sounded neutral in speech.
Code:
"But then, where does the food you eat go when it reaching the spot where your stomach would be? Does it simply... go away?"
[hr]
Port exterior, Pointe-Saint Charles, Montreal. Late morning. March 4th.

Not knowing about emotional distress litigation, Kuki was quiet for a brief moment, then answered,
Code:
"... no."
They then paused for a moment, then asked,
Code:
"But there has to be something that can be done? This is so wrong!"

Completely ignoring Kuki, Blue said to Ella: "If you think it would be best to hear it in private, then let me hear it this way. We can go back inside the portal station.
If it's not important, just state it here."

"Honestly, I can't explain how it all works. The magic is all handled by the entity." Yauna replied. "In general, I know what's going on, but I can't speak for specifics."

Portal Station, March 4th

"It's not illegal, so I can't do anything about it." the guard informed Kuki. "Sorry."

"It is a serious matter, let's go inside." - Ella said, turning and walking back inside. She made a mental note to talk with Kuki afterwards to find out what had happened.

Ile Bizard, Montreal. Afternoon. March 3rd.

Code:
"I see. I don't think I'll ever wrap my head around magic"
, Kuki said, then was quiet for a moment.
Code:
"If you want the damage repaired, though, I could almost certainly do that. Although the time needed would accumulatively amount to a month, give or take."
[hr]
Port exterior, Pointe-Saint Charles, Montreal. Late morning. March 4th.

Code:
"Fine... "
, Kuki said, miffed about the ordeal. Deciding that they may as well ask about what they came to the station for, now that they had the attention of the guard, they asked,
Code:
"Anyway... . I want to see about going to Avinah. But with this portal station closed down, could you tell me where the next closest one is, please?"

"Alright." Blue said, then walked inside the portal station, into a relatively dark area. "Tell me." she demanded.

"I don't know how that would affect things, so I'm going to say no."

Portal Station, March 4th

"I think the one in New York. There's also one in Vancouver, which wouldn't require international travel." the guard said.

Candace looked at Yuna, trying to figure out where the holes they were talking about were, noting the sagging robe.

Ella cleared her throat, then said; "XPOL formally requests that you and your comrades respect the local and international Earth laws and treaties, whenever you are on the planet 'Earth'. More specifically, we request that you withdraw your demand that the XPOL officer who shot and killed 'White' is handed over to you. The incident occurred on Canadian soil, and thus the Canadian judiciary will determine if the officer was at fault." - Pausing for breath, Ella then continued; "Any punitive measures are conducted by XPOL itself, to ensure compliance with the United Nations Declaration of Sentient Rights and all other United Nations declarations."

Day 4, Station
After Ella and Blue went inside Raz walked up to the guard. "Question, you said that mind manipulation ISN'T a crime? It kinda seems like there should be some laws about that."

Blue smiled. "Well, well. Are you in the position to make demands? What about Anik? And why do you think is it smart to punish the one killing one of our own yourself? I mean, if a neutral third party was involved, I could understand, but this ...? Isn't this a little bit hamfisted?"

What Blue did as well, was read Ella's mind, her current thoughts, and what she truly thought about the answers to these questions.
What Ella would say out loud would probably never be the whole truth, Blue thought.

"This is not a demand, it is merely a request. The process of extraditing Anik is the purview of the Canadian government, though XPOL does of course offer advice and information to that government. The incident that led to White's death happened on Canadian soil, and the Canadian judiciary thus has the role of impartially judging the situation. It might seem like a strange system to you, but it has served this planet well, which is why we hope you will respect it while on Earth." - Ella replied, keeping a completely blank expression. Blue would find that Ella's thoughts were in French, and she was infuriated by the arrogance and disregard Blue showed. She also thought very highly of most of the legal system in place, and wondered darkly if the place Anik would be extradited to even had a code of law. She wished that she had been authorised to make demands, and thought that the ETR squad outside would've been an excellent way to enforce compliance.

However, she then restrained herself, and pushed those dark thoughts out of her mind. She repeated to herself to just get the message delivered, and then get out. She had her orders, and for once they were simple - if not easy to follow. She wasn't there for a fight, and it was imperative that she didn't get roped into attacking.

Nina gave Candace a look of befuddlement. "Do you think I'm lying or something? Why would I lie about something like that?"

Blue sighed and rolled her eyes. "So I need to wait here, until you figured out how to do nothing? How utterly boring.
Now, if you want to send this squad outside on us, that's fine. Would make things happen a lot quicker. I get nothing to do otherwise! And it would make an excellent story, you attacking us, even better than you killing White.

But I understand, you don't want that to happen, do you?"
she said, and at the same time caused Ella to hit herself with her hand, by controlling the blood in her arm.

Ella recoiled, then looked back at Blue; "I have delivered the message I came here to give. Unless you have a formal response, I will be leaving."

What was that, magic or psychics? Magic seems most internally consistent, but psychics... Psychics would explain why she was so damn on top about what I was thinking.

Ile Bizard, Montreal. Afternoon. March 3rd.

Code:
"That would probably for the best, in that case."
Kuki responded, then idly looked around to pass the time.

Once the group finished eating, Kuki informed Fernand they wanted to talk to more Vesh'Rah. They would ask three different types of them if they could take samples, then informed Fernand they were ready to head back.

Port exterior, Pointe-Saint Charles, Montreal. Late morning. March 4th.

Code:
"Okay. Thanks"
, Kuki said to the guard, then looked to Raz as he approached him, agreeing with him.
Code:
"Tell me about it"
, they said idly.

After, Kuki looked up to Shana.
Code:
"Well, I'm done here."

Fernand agreed, and would head back after Kuki had taken the samples or not, with or without the others.

The next day, he would stay home, not having the job he was here to do. He would call the prison and ask if he could talk with Anik, over the phone, or when it would be possible to visit her again.

Late Morning

"Alright, formal response: We will most certainly not withdraw the demand if White is not handed over to us. If you do it, we will see. We might even come to an agreement if you hand over Anik, as well.
We also want your agreement to help us deliver the people arriving here through the anomaly back to their homeworlds, as you are not fit to do so."
Blue stated.

In her head, Ella would hear: "Why not both?"
