KingChris Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 THE POPE IS ALIVE! After the assassination attempt, the Pope went under hours of surgery. Doctors gave him a 33% chance of surviving. The Pope did not wake up until very recently, when the Camerlengo struck his head gently with a silver hammer and called out, "Karol." For the first time, Pope John Paul III responded to him. OOC: So is anyone else gonna help out in the investigation or what? And when are you guys gonna interrogate the gunman?

KingChris Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 The Cardinals were rather impatient when the investigators from Promised Land arrived. After boarding off the plane the Cardinals approached them and said to them, "Thank you very much for coming. He hasn't told us anything except 'Death to the Pope.' We've found out that his name is Zrinko Popić, and that he's a citizen of Artica." "Thanks. We'll see what we can do," replied one of the agents. Two cars pulled up for the investigators. They climbed in, and the cars drove off to a distant maximum security cell, where Zrinko Popić sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedran Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Off in the cell, Zrinko sat in a corner, in a straitjacket and under close watch as he had tried to hang himself with his clothes and bite his tongue off before the guards stopped him. At the moment he was quiet and simply stared at the door, knowing that as long as he was alive, his captors would get some kind of information from him eventually. He still did not know that his attack on the Pope had failed. He jumped a little as he heard the door unlocking and saw it begin to open.

Minilla Island Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Minilla Island would LOVE to do the investigation. However, under the National Law of 1924, all crimes against the Church are investigated, charged and tried by the military. The Military will hold a Tribunal under JAG General Martina aka Prince Joseph, Son of Elaine, against the perpetrators of this heinous act. However, for assaulting the Holy Father, we can GUARANTEE that the perpetrators of this act will be executed by firing squad. So, the Minilla Island military wishes to assist in the investigation.

Automatic death for someone simply because they assaulted a holy man? And people wonder why there are some who do not wish to see religion in the world. -Xaristan Department of State Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vatican thanks Minilla Island for their offer. Unfortunately, the Church is against any form of capital punishment and therefore declines the offer.

He still did not know that his attack on the Pope had failed.He jumped a little as he heard the door unlocking and saw it begin to open. The investigators thanked the Cardinals for getting them there, but requested that they be left alone with the prisoner. Once any guards were outside the isolated cell, and therefore out of earshot, the true interrogation could begin. It would start innocently enough, simple questions about the information they already had, like his name and his home nation. But the prisoner would prove uncooperative, prompting one of the investigators to grin nastily, bringing out a knife and casually trimming his fingernails as the one who did the talking asked, "who helped you?" OOC: Promised Land is supposed to do the interrogation right? OOC: yeah, sorry. Not much internet on Weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedran Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Zrinko grunted as he tried to break free of the straitjacket, but was unsuccessful in his attempts. When the investigator began to ask him about his name and origin, he stayed silent. His eyes locked on to the knife as the man took it out, widening a little with fear, then shot back to his face, the fear gone. Zrinko cursed the man's mother and spat on the floor. "Do what you will to me, but it won't change the fact your Pope is dead. I regret nothing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 "Oh really?" said the interrogator, not at all perturbed. In a lightning move, he reached out and slapped Zrinko across the face. Not hard, but enough to let him know whose mercy he was in right now. "Who says he's my Pope? You tried to kill a man of peace. I wouldn't care if he was your antichrist--if he was advocating world peace, I'd be here interrogating you. Oh, and one little note. You didn't kill him. Your mission failed. The Pope is alive. Your masters probably won't be too happy about that, now will they?" he left off there, with the implication that the man's masters probably would torture and kill him themselves if they got ahold of him. The one with the knife grinned even more widely, displaying teeth that had been filed to sharp points, almost making them look like fangs.

KingChris Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 In news concerning the Pope, he will be released on Saturday. Reports say that despite his condition, he will continue his Tour immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedran Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 "It doesn't matter what he preaches. The words that come out of his mouth are the words of a snake. I did the world a favor in...in...what do you mean he's not dead?" Zrinko's face scrunched up at that in frustration. His mission had failed, and the investigator was right in thinking that the Cardinal would punish him if he ever returned. If Zrinko hadn't lost his cyanide capsule, he wouldn't be in this situation right now. Zrinko looked at the man's teeth and winced, shrinking himself back into the corner. How much do they know? he thought. His eyes lit up a little and he looked up at the investigator, smiling. "Maybe instead of wasting your time with me, you should be watching out for your Pope. My comrades will quickly regroup and kill him like the dog he is." Zrinko smiled wider, all the while wondering if the two had any idea he was lying his $@! off. "You didn't think I was working alone, did you?" He laughed. "It's too late to do anything about it. Just keep an eye on the news for a few days...you'll see..."

Subtleknifewielder Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 The man with the sharp teeth continued grinning, enjoying the reaction he got. "Oh really? Then why didn't they strike while he was comatose? It shouldn't be that hard to kill a defenseless man, in fact much easier than what you tried. It was really stupid of you not to have back-up in place before you attempted this, at least if you hadn't been working alone. So I really doubt you were working with anyone. But you obviously had help to get as far as you did..." The interrogator wasn't absolutely positive he was right--for all he knew, they had had twenty others in the crowd, but he kept his own confident, knowing smile in place. If they had been there, then they had chickened out for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minilla Island Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 In news concerning the Pope, he will be released on Saturday. Reports say that despite his condition, he will continue his Tour immediately. Will His Holiness be in the proper condition to finish his tour? We would like to send a team of medical professionals and members of the LASER Corps to aid and protect His Holiness throughout the rest of his tour. The LASER Corps members have vowed their lives to protect His Holiness. In other words, they have no problem in sacrificing their lives for the safety of the Holy Father. The Medical Corps will be the King's own team of physicians and medical personnel. Would this be acceptable for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingChris Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 The Pope is in completely awful condition, but he is as stubborn as an ox to finish his tour. Therefore, the tour will continue as scheduled starting Monday. We accept your offer to send medical professionals and a team of the LASER Corps.

Vedran Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 "You think it's easy to get into a hospital and past armed guards?" Zrinko sighed and leaned back against the wall. "Someone will get him, sooner or later. Snakes like him don't live long. You'll all pay." Zrinko may have been a fanatic, but he wasn't stupid. He knew there was no way this was going to end well for him, so the best he could do is delay telling them anything for as long as he could to give the cardinal time to save himself, and maybe throw them off by feeding them false information in the process. No doubt after news of who ordered the attack became public, the Arcticans would be coming after the cardinal. However, this line of thinking would lead him to make an error, because he would give them a false country of origin when they began coercing him more aggressively.

Subtleknifewielder Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 "There are ways other than guns and knives to kill a man," the sharp-toothed one spoke for the first time as he stood. The knife was still in his hand as he casually walked around the table and put his face an inch away from the prisoner's. The knife went thunk as he embedded it in the chair a fraction of an inch from a rather...sensitive piece of anatomy, and the grin grew even nastier. "Oops, must have slipped," he said, not sounding at all like he meant it. "A little too far forward." He reached down and grasped the knife by the handle, pulling it out once more. "Really, it'll go much easier on you if you co-operate," said the original interrogator, as the sharptoothed one continued to stare from his close perspective.

KingChris Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 The Pope was discharged from the hospital on a wheelchair today. As soon as he was taken out, he ordered that he be taken to Shepard One immediately to fly to Palintine to continue his tour. When medics disagreed, he simply said, "Who's the Pope? You or me?" A local bishop commented that he had been using that argument alot nowadays, so the next heads of states should keep this in mind. OOC: Hey Zarzef, your opportunity's coming up, but I gotta warn you, I got extra guards around the Pope from Minilla Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake about it, the Land, Air and Sea Emergency Reserves (LASERs) swear their very lives to the protection of the Holy Father. They live the principles of their motto: "God, King, Country, and Holy Mother Church." So, unless you got the greatest weapon known to mankind, NOBODY will be able to attack the Holy Father.

hawk11 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 The pope could not be discouraged from continuing his tour, and ticket sales to see him in Palintine were already sold out. The prime minister had no choice but to allow his clearance into Palintine; however, he could force his hand to allow extra security. Normally the pope's arrival in countries is covered by their local media, but the prime minister has blocked local and international press from attending this event. Instead, the pope's transport will be redirected to Shek Kong Airfield, a Palintine Volunteer Army base primarily devoted to transport. The area will be sealed off from public traffic. Since the last assassination attempt on the prime minister (last of three), the police and military presence in the nation has been increased tenfold. This was the prime minister's chance to break them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingChris Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 "Palintine Airport, Shepard One, requesting clearance to land Runway Thirteen Right." "Shepard One, cleared to land Runway Thirteen Right." The plane started it's quick descent towards the international airport, where a mob of media awaited for them. The plane was just only a few hundred feet away from landing when the ATC shouted "STOP!!!!!!" The Boeing 757 pulled up to a near 90 degrees. "What the heck? The Pope is in here!" "Sorry, you've just been ordered to Shek Kong." The plane made a full 180 in the direction of Shek Kong. Meanwhile in the cabin, the Pope fell out of his wheelchair after the plane sharply pulled up, and he landed on his head. It might be time to go back to the hospital...

Thankfully for the Holy Father, HRH King Raymond II's personal physician, Major Ganeral Allen Lee, M.D., of the Army's Medical Corps, and his staff of 15 tend to the Holy Father when he falls out. After wheeling the Holy Father to his bed, Major General Lee attaches wires to the Holy Father, and takes a full preliminary CAT scan. It is determined that the vitals are normal and his brainwaves are functional. Therefore, it is in Major General Lee's expert medical opinion, that the Holy Father does not need to be in the Hospital at this time.
