In front of the Zephys’ main local security building, a large amount of camera crews and reporters from various networks began to gather. Above the seating area a small press podium holding the symbol of Zephys’ local police. The press conference started with various high-ranking Officers recounting the situation to the masses. With the recent terrorist attack, there was uncertainty among the public, if not among the officials themselves. They were just better at hiding it. Once the main segment finished and various networks have already left, a certain Lethan got called to the podium by Major Erp.
“We’ll have Special Operative Svilena Alren answer any other questions regarding the liberation of the Golden Melody Mall as the Special Operations Group was there on the scene.” the Major spoke.
Svilena thanked the Major before her as she turned to the reporters, dressed in fine Ihirian wear. She wore a serious look on her face, practiced to perfection as it hid the anxiety beneath.
“Firstly, I would like to thank the brave men and women of the 3rd Ihiri Guard, without them the SOG wouldn’t have been able to have such an easy time rescuing the victims. I was personally in the situation room coordinating with the rest of Ihiri Security. Because of this I would also like to thank Operatives Nash, Kalneth and Alark for being within the actual building. It is because of them that so many lives were saved and that their plans were stopped.” Svilena paused for a moment, letting the quiet applause pass. “Golden Melody was a tragedy; however, it showcased the undying duty each facet of our Dominion has towards protecting you. Through immediate and effective collaboration between Ihiri Security, SOG and Sith this threat was stopped in its tracks. I’m sure the Majors have mentioned that many of times already.” She smiled, looking across the crowd of reporters as she opened the floor to questions.
A woman stood up, her hand raised as the pink lint from her fleece suit fell beside her. Clearly not a local but she was called on regardless. “Special Operative, how come this disaster was allowed to happen in the first place?” The Lethan’s purple eyes stayed on the woman for a moment. Such an obvious question, how did she not prepare for it. After a slight moment, letting her thoughts organise she responded. “We are still looking into it, you are all aware of the safety that Ihiri offers, so such an incident is truly unprecedented. Whatever the case may be, the Dominion has responded and the Dark Lord has provided resources for an additional security force that will work to assist the Ihiri Guard, the Gilded Star.” She looked over to the soldiers as she gave them a nod. “It is unlikely such an incident will happen again, we will be on constant watch, you have my word.” Kark, shouldn’t have said that. It’s not good to give such hard promises to reporters. I’ll get torn to pieces, she looked at the pink woman as she sat down, slight panic in her eyes. Hopefully she works for a tabloid, stars help me.
The rest of the conference continues as Svilena calls upon various ridiculous questions. “Special Operative, what was the victim count?” "Special Operative, what was that loud explosion?" “Special Operative, when will the Mall be reopened?” “Special Operative, how big is your armour to fit all that-”
Once the conference ended, a local Ihiri network that was broadcasting it played a conveniently timed, thinly veiled propaganda piece that sought to show Svilena’s loyalty to Ihiri by documenting her contributions to the planet. From the Zephys Horizon to Parallax Technologies. It was certainly sponsored as it painted Svilena as a big contributor to Ihiri.
