[LORE] [IC] New development - president disavows responsibility for Panem bombing

[Abraxis]

I have heard about the terrible events on Panem. I did not issue any orders to crack down on the narcotic onionhead, and certainly did not authorise bombings of the surface. Admiral Vincent has operated without my authority and I have asked for an enquiry to see how this happened.

This is an even more troubling proposition, and suggests the bombing had nothing to do with enforcing the law.

But most importantly.. who is in control of the Federation armed forces?

"The same forces that engage the same bounty hunters that help them to bring down a fully armed pirate Anaconda, I guess..."

M. Volgrand ends his venusian whisky with a gulp and waves the waitres for another drink.

If this were true then why does the president allow the lockdown on Panem to continue?

Bunch of liars, this is all machinations to bring Panem into Federation control and no amount of civilian dead bodies will stop that woman.

Volgrand observes the fellow commander and, once he has his new drink, raises it in a toast that meant "agreed".

What we see here is just another example of some Federal officials creating a situation to alter market prices (they simply wanted to rise price margin for this onionhead product, so a bit more money would flow in their pockets). There's undoubtedly an agreement between Panem government and Feds - so everyone in power will benefit from this atrocity. Who cares about people, right?

And don't you worry Federal armed forces are controlled by the same people - nothing has changed. These guys will never let go
