At the barricade marking the Military Area near the beach almost every Eutopian Media is represented.

The newly appointed Admiral Henry J. Tulp arrives wearing his old on-duty Captains uniform. He looks tired.


"Members of the press, I'll be brief, you may now ask questions regarding the Hainan Star incident."

Moreau-Dumont stands up with a notepad in hand. He looks bemused.

No report, Monseiur Admiral?

How many AK-47s have you found on board the Hanian Star?

"Firstly Per Moreau-Dumont, I wil report but to my direct superior officers, that is the President and possibly General Levarge. Secondly, I might give my version, the authentic and realistic version, to the media if I see fit. Thirdly I am suprised that La Voix choose print their articles on what allegdly happened tonight instead of waiting for the Navy's side of the story. Offcourse that's totally understandable if La Voix would only be interested in selling their paper however I personally am of the naive opinion that the media has a bigger goal or atleast should have such one.

Currently it isn't in the interest of a possible investigation nor in the interest of national security for everyone to know precisely how many weapons were found in possesion of the To Be Diterements however I can tell you that they were substantial enough to harbour a threat to my men and to the Eutopian public. Anymore questions?"

Moreau-Dumont tried to supress a grin

So, that justifies firing on innocent civillians?

Tulp grunts

"Per, we didn't know these are 'innocent' 'civilians', actually, we still don't. I would like to know how you know that. Do you? May I remind you per that not very long ago the ECB has been blown up? You seem to claim that these people are nuns, on the other hand they could all be terrorists who can't wait to blow up and murder Eutopian citizens."

Moreau-Dumont goes deadly serious, though you can sense he is laughing inside

Well, I just got pictures of innocent civillians shot up by your men and assumed that when illegal immigrants exit a ship they shouldn't get killed.

Moreau-Dumont whips out the front page of La Voix, and the paticularly gruesome picture between the heading and the sub-heading.

"Firstly I'd like to say that I think it's gruesome that La Voix is showing this picture on it's frontpage. Secondly I must say that we deeply deeply regret any innocent casualties on the side of the TBDs. However, may I remind you that a number of these were armed and it felt for my men and myself as if they were storming the beach. There are multiple details that make the whole affair don't add it. Why didn't it flee into Esperitian waters? Why didn't it go to a full stop after our warnings? Why didn't it go to a full stop after our warning shots? Why the hell did the TBDs carry weapons? Why did they storm the beach? Why didn't they stop doing that after the first warning shots were fired? Could we have functioned better? Could I have functioned better? I will take the full responsibility if a investigation finds that there have been made serious errors on our side but I can assure you that that doesn't mean that I will take responisibillity on behalf of people not of my crew. There have been serious shortcommings from the MDIA ministry, FLEA and the Federal Government."

"Per Rapp, I personally didn't fire a single shot however as the highest officer I am responsible for what happened tonight though for the moment I can't think of much that I could have done different without hindsight. Now ladies and gentlemen of the press. I have gotten word that the CinC wants to talk with me so I will have to go to the Diamond Office. Good evening..."
