The party decide to approach the faction leaders but first Fallon checks the records of the Imperial Garrison’s senior officers.   The commander looks reliable but a couple of immediate subordinates may be affiliated with the factions. Stabsgeneral Max Rochefort is the direct representative of the military governor of Mellasuâtar and the senior officer on the planet…
Fallon initially stays at the control centre monitoring events… Lem Kain’s police role is a concern…
Palmer does Broadsword calling Danny Boy and contacts the fleet… Lars Nikulainen is pulled out of his exercise…
Zeph watches the Professor meeting with the tramp, Piotr…
Aphrodite gains access to the TV communications feeds into Erikki’s using Fallon’s pass codes.  Two conversations are begun: Fallon with Erikki and Palmer with Tarja. Aphrodite monitors both conversations.
Palmer sends janissary signal to Tarja while Fallon (armed with official documentation) visits Erikki…
To Tarja – Palmer says… Badguys are arming both factions and acting as agent provocateur - setting up atrocities to intensify the civil disorder… Key assassinations include Lars and key leaders of the reform party…
Films that prove the Professor’s role in the conspiracy are played…  The imminence of the gang’s treachery is made clear…
Stable succession is our objective and not interference in your internal affairs…
Do not allow your supporters to get carried away… The real enemy are the agent provocateurs… Personal security must be increased as the enemy will default to taking out key players if they believe their plan is compromised…
Maitai to accompany Palmer as trained medic during visit to Timo’s lair…
General Rochefort is delighted by the change of pace when he gets his new orders… 
Fallon has ‘Lars monitoring authorisation’ and ‘corrupt police boss’ films… Erikki will think that Fallon has just been drawn into Tarja’s greater conspiracy… 
Conversation summary
Palmer outlines the evidence to Tarja:
· 	Weapons supplied to your faction by criminal group.
· 	2. Criminal organisation is supplying weapons to both sides the aim of starting a civil war.
· 	3. Organisation also has operative inside both competing faction’s inners circles aiming to manipulate the factions into war.
· 	4. The  submerged base
· 	5. Video evidence of the professor
· 	 Fallon outlines the evidence to Erikki:
· 	Presents credentials
· 	2. Same evidence except pt 5. video evidence is of the police Capt.
· 	3. Fallon starts with the arms trading side of the plots…
· 	4. Fallon asks if Erikki if is prepared to present evidence…
· 	5. Meeting in private place… Fallon updates Alysin… Private Dacha… Twitchy Erikki shows film of Tarja meeting with unknown individuals… Veteran’s organisation with political aspirations that does not approve of the current regime… Constitutional critics of the regime… Co9 are tyrants… The representative served with her…
· 	Tarja is horrified by the evidence of the action of her supporters “that were unknown to her”. She agrees to restrain her forces and arranges a meeting between the team medic and the Wolf.
· 	Investigation of the nurses on the staff indicates several may have links to the factions. The Doctor is one of the Wolf’s old friends and is loyal but elderly… The conversation with Erikki takes far longer. He states he knew or suspected much of the conspiracy outlined in the evidence and claims that he has further evidence of another deeper plot. However, he will not discuss the matter over the communications network. Fallon agrees to go out to meet Erikki to review the evidence.
Palmer then briefs the Garrison commander. –who has already been contacted by Alysin Bryce. Palmer warns him of the threat and the imminent events that are about to occur. The suspect officers under his command are sidelined. The commander agrees to a plan to fake the accidental death of Tarja ex-lover. Private Dacha… Twitchy Erikki shows film of Tarja meeting with unknown individuals… Veteran’s organisation with political aspirations that does not approve of the current regime… Constitutional critics of the regime… Co9 are tyrants… The representative served with her…
Erikki wants to eliminate all opponents in one sweep… Buying the old man time… Clinically paranoid… Fallon reveals the conspiracy around Erikki… 
 
Rossi is still with mercenary squadron… Overnight he sneaks into the hanger and reconfigures the IFF settings of the squadron… Just before contacting the Faction leaders, he gets in touch with the team... He has been training with the mercenary air-force. He has learnt crucial information: the criminal organisation believes the Wolf will die within 24 hours of 10-00 next morning (it is possible that the package will be delivered at this time).
He notes than one of the pilots is suspicious and is unsurprised when Palmer confirms that this man in the gang’s key player in the airborne phase of the coup… Zeph gets into trouble (00)… He demonstrates his escape and evade skills (05)… He manages to con the Professor into making his escape by using one of Aphrodite’s voice modulated messages (apparently from Piotr)…
Maitai and Tarja visit the Wolf… Timo is a cynical old rogue and knows far more that he is prepared to reveal… He’s delighted that his plan is about to come together and seems unconcerned by the chaos he has caused (does he have a plan?)… He is vastly amused by the idea of his death happening a day early and looks forward to watching/ reading his obituaries… 07:00 carrier task force is put on standby… Tarja is stunned by the scale of the conspiracy…
Fake death announcement is released on the Imperial Evening Broadcast (this is London etc)…  
Piotr realises that the network is compromised and the Professor’s house detonates… Zeph has close call…
The dilettante is relaxing at a night club when the news hits… Zeph keeps a close eye on him…
The flight takes off and Rossi tells his wingmen to follow his lead… At a key point he informs the conspirators that they are doomed and, as they scatter, Imperial fighters come out of stealth and hunt them down… Rossi down’s Jan’s fighter and detonates Pietrson’s ship with two swift bursts…
Tarja and Maitai await the unfolding of events with Timo…
