Nuu-Chul-Nulth Daily National News:

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is Atoush Witticker and tonights main story is in regards to the scandal that has come to light at the Nuu-Chul-Nulth National Assembly where it is being reported tonight that a Youth council representative for the National Assembly as well as several other members of the assembly and several associates have been accused for accepting and funneling Assembly monies and donations to an overseas bank account since February of last year when the Assembly was first elected to run Nuu-Chul-Nulth affairs after the disintegration of the nation of Canada and when Nuu-Chul-Nulth became an independent nation. It is estimated that between two million and four million dollars earmarked for construction of schools, playgrounds, and other youth 'related' buildings were funneled to the bank accounts of these eight men and two women.

We are just receiving reports that the youth councillor on the National Assembly has been arrested by the Nuu-Chul-Nulth National Police. It is feared however that Patty White's associates may have fled into the remote areas of our nation or have left for foreign nations that do not recognize Nuu-Chul-Nulth or do not have extradition treaties with Nuu-Chul Nulth. Please stay tuned!

Dan Eagleson a National police officer grabbed Patty White by her forearm and led her gently into the National Police headquarters in the capital of Ashutu Head. Several protestors were behind barricades held back by about five police officers yelling and screaming obscenities at Patty White. Dan could understand their frustration at the young woman who had taken about 14,000 dollars from Dan himself but he knew that this storm would blow over in time with the capture of the nine other suspects.

Walking into the police station Patty mumbled quietly;

"I want a lawyer!"

Nodding, Dan placed her with a staff-sergeant and headed off to get the phone book which would list all the lawyers available in Nuu-Chul-Nulth national borders.

OOC: The name Nuu-Chul-Nulth is the name of a First Nations community just up the road from where I live. However, unlike in the fictionalised account where there is a scandal with parts of the government there has not been a 'real' scandal with any Nuu-Chul-Nulth nation (14 in all) in the past forty years. As well, even though some of the characters may have 'native' names in the thread I have created I have not said if it is white people or native people in actuality in this story.

Nuu-Chul-Nulth Daily National News:

Patty White (22) who has been the Youth Council member since the national assembly was formed last February has asked for a lawyer and has been detained at the National Police Headquarters in the capital of Ashutu Head. The manhunt is still on for the other nine suspects in this scandal, eight men and one woman. The National Assembly has closed its doors and the President of Nuu-Chul-Nulth, Ken Minulat, has indicated that the National Assembly doors will remain closed for the next week as the police continue to investigate the scandal.

Patty spoke clearly;

"The 'scandal' as the media has labelled it occured in April when several non-Nuu-Chul-Nulth developers came with a project to establish a playground, a nursery and a elementary school in Ashutu Head. They requested nearly 200,000 in an initial survey and dig to ensure no 'artifacts' would be recovered. We then requested more money as they suggested in their reports and I never took any of that money and only handed it to those foreign nationals."

"Patty we have notes from your bank account that you have 70,000 dollars more than you are suppose to?"

"Those are gifts," Patty said.

"Wouldn't you get kind of suspicious when the foreigners asked for more money every couple of months? Do you know where they came from?"

"No! No!"

Patty's lawyer, Michael Anderson stood up and stated;

"I believe that my client is done this 'interview' and we would like to discuss our next move."

"Take the lawyer and Patty to her cell where they can discuss their next move."

Two police officers indicated for Michael and Patty to go forward and they led them to the end of the police headquarters where they placed Patty in her cell and left a guard about 200 meters away from the lawyer and Patty so they could discuss in private.

OOC: Looking for foreign nations where some if not all suspects may have fled to RP thank you.

IC: The Dictatorial State of Red Tide got very few immigrants. It wasnt that the nation discouraged immigration, quite the contrary, it openly welcomed all immigrants. It was just that Red Tides reputation preceded it, the nation was a police state, after all. But more importantly to some of the men involved in the Nuu-Chul-Nulth scandal, a man with enough money could get quite a lucrative position in one of the nations many factories.

The handling of immigration was officially done through the 'Intergration Department' of the Interior Ministry. But the NKVD had some say in who came and who didnt... mainly because Red Tide didnt want any people who would covertly attack them.

At a port in the city of Crig, a boat from some unheard of nation called Nuu-Chul-Nulth pulled into pier #14, one of the piers designated for immigrants.

OOC: I would rather you roleplay the scandal men for this.

PS: I wont be able to reply after this until tomorrow.

Danny Deadsmar and Willy "Snakeeyes" Miller stood on a small boat that was headed from the small nation of Nuu-Chul-Nulth and they had been assemblymen in the National Assembly and they had left when Patty White had been arrested for embezzelment and thusly they were on the run with roughly nearly 400,000 dollars in several cases. They had hidden them on their boat as they were entering into this nation of RedTide2 where they were going to plead political asylum and bride several immigration agents to get in.

OOC: Note the Federated Klatchian Coast is a Nation...technically....and the United Duchies is a 'state' in that nation. The Federated Klatchian Coast has a good number of poorly controlled backwaters people can 'vanish' into and come out elsewhere as someone new. However you have to get by some of the 'better citizen' members beforehand...

The Western Klatchian Ocean

The Seagull pulled into Lowel at three am local time, sixteen hours behind schedule. The Seagull smelled of steam, sweat, rust and rotting meat. The few 'state cabins' still only had small electric fans to keep one cool on a tropical summer evening. The 'lounge' appeared that it had not been cleaned since Hitler was in office. At least the steady diet of corn bread, mutton stew, and lima beans was decently edible, if monotonous.
The advantages of the old liberty ship was a captain who would turn a blind eye to who is passengers were for a cheap price, a rather bad memory for faces, and the fact that he allowed his vessel to stop regularly in Lowel.

Lowel was a port located at the northern end of the Logoth Marches of the United Duchies. The fact was Lowel was just outside of Alconian jurisdiction because the Treaty of Vrakprime drew the border here as the ship canal. West Lowel, which sat on the Alconian side was fairly well run and ordered. Lowel proper was somewhat of an outlaw city. It was the kind of place one could begin to escape authority, as long as the Klatchian Marshals didn't here of you. Where money talked, and could get you in the door and on your way to Port Olympus.

Port Olympus, the capital of the entire Federation was something of an odd ball place. Parts were as dangerous as you could get, and diving into the local politics was strongly advised against. But if you had money, and some buisness sense, you could make a fortune. And living in Port Olympus with money was quite fun, and quite safe.

The greatest advantage was that with the Federation always one step away from civil war, the city offered a perfect haven for those with somewhat dark pasts. The laws that concerned extradition had become so twisted that people died of old age before their trial came up. More than one foreign law enforcement official had a nervous breakdown just trying to navigate the bureaucratic nightmare that ran the semi-independent city state. And the banking laws were great too.

For those trying to escape the law...Port Olympus was a dream come true.

For those individuals on board the Seagull, all they had to do was get into, and through the United Duchies which was the dominate western province of the Federated Klatchian Coast.

Nuu-Chul-Nulth Daily National News:

Patty White, youth councilor has admitted quilt after several hours of questioning and has accepted a plea from the Prosecutor's office. The pleas will include seven years in prison and then the repayment of 50,000 dollars over fifteen years once she gets out of prison. As well, it should be noted that the nine other suspects have not been caught yet in this scandal and no international nation has assisted the Nuu-Chul-Nulth police force in aprehending these suspects.

OOC: Could you give names and rough descriptions, it might be sort of cheesy if I just happen to discover one of your criminals without knowing who they are, I think it would be beneficial to other nations in this RP too.

Danny Deadsmar: 35, he is a tall man with a balding brown hairline along with a mustache and a scar down the right side of his head.

Willy "Snakeeyes" Miller: 53, elderly man with white hair, light grey stubble under his chin an brown eyes and black hair.

Other descriptions later.

OOC: actually I was planing on doing what Red Tide was and letting you Rp the 'characters' since I assume they are your nationals while I Rp the response of society to them.

OOC: I will do a description BOUT MY character and then can RP them.

In Sesal Shore a small port community on the northern coast of Nuu-Chul-Nulth a young police officer looked at the passport of the elderly man who had a Hawaiian shirt on and a bag of clothes (money). Heading back to his office he punched in the passport number to find that it was had been issued to a dead Nuu-Chul-Nulth man who had been dead for three years. Heading outside back to the man he told him to come into the office and sit down.

The man walked into the center and sat down where a supervisor explained the situation. Once knowing that he would be caught he tried to bolt out a nearby window but was restrained by the two men who confiscated the briefcase that contained 125,000 dollars.

Suspect:

Harold Marringer
Age: 34
Married
Two children
Youth Analyst and Consultant to Patty White

Danny Deadsmar and Willy "Snakeeyes" Miller docked their boat at Pier 13 where immigrants coming to the nation of Redtide2 parked their boats. Stepping onto the wharf, Danny carried one of the briefcases while Whilly remained on the boat just in case there was trouble.

Port Olympus;

Amanada Bigbear stood at the immigration center building with her Nuu-Chul-Nulth passport as well as two cases containing nearly 400,000 dollars from the scandal that had erupted in Nuu-Chul-Nulth. She knew that two of the ten had been arrested and didn't want to be another one so she had come here.
