<strong>“They say that fur is murder.

We both know that you are more than just a pretty face with nice curves...”</strong>Orell smacked her butt<strong>“So I used the time while you were out to dig a little deeper.

Well, it turns out that the stipend your family got while you attended ‘Leonov Ballet School for gifted girls’ was funded not by the department of arts and culture but by the <em>Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye</em>. Now if the ‘Main Intelligence Directorate of the Armed Forces’ takes a personal interest in your higher education, I’m guessing it has nothing to do with dancing and a lot to do with sneaking about and killing people. And this brings us to the final question: Why would a deadly little <em>spetznaz</em> doll like you live in the UCAS under a new identity? Now three theories spring readily to mind:<br/>One:,”</strong>Orell underlined his count with another strike to Irina’s exposed bum.<strong>“you are here on a mission behind enemy lines. That would mean that there might be some kind of reward for delivering you to the authorities.<br/>Two:,”</strong>another strike with the cane, this time from bellow, on her belly.<strong>“you have retired and are now enjoying a good life in the UCAS.<br/>And three:,”</strong>he gave her an especially nasty sting to the sole of her foot.<strong>“you are a defector and you have fled here to escape persecution.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Of the three,”</strong>Orell continued his lecture<strong> “I found the last the easiest to check. You see, if a country wants to catch someone, they have to put him or her on some kind of <em>list</em>, so that law enforcement knows whom to arrest. And, even if it is a secret list, there will be some kind of reaction if a certain name or face shows up. All I had to do was send a little sample to some guy I know in Russia and he made sure that this sample would be run through a police scanner. It didn’t take long for very dangerous men to show up at the scene, so I’m pretty sure that you are <em>wanted</em> back home. Funny thing is, no one in the UCAS cares about you. Lone Star thinks that Irina Sarkova is an upstanding citizen and not even your DNA makes the pigs perk up. So here is what I think: You are a traitor on the run from the motherland. What is more: you are all alone and no one is coming for you.”</strong>Orell finished, watching the graphs on her emotional readout spike.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: Orell rolled: 9d6<br/>Second Target Number: 5<br/>Comment: Judge Intentions: Char 4 + Int 5 (opposed)<br/>Result: 1, 3, 1, 5, 5, 5, 6, 1, 6, <br/>For: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, <br/>Total: 5<br/><br/>Roll Result: Irina rolled: 8d6<br/>Second Target Number: 5<br/>Comment: Resist Judge Intentions Char 5 + Will 3<br/>Result: 2, 6, 3, 4, 1, 5, 4, 3, <br/>For: 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, <br/>Total: 2<br/><br/>This leaves Orell with 3 net successes.
