[center][h2]The Dominion[/h2][/center] UNN, Universal News Network. Your local, regional and Galactic news source, Live with Jen Silvers and Brogok! "For those just tuning in, you can watch more on the Scorpine crisis on UNN and our affiliates." A bubbly blond said, a forced smile plastered all over her face. Brogok, a rather large Kalixuran, stood next to her. Holding a datapad. "Todays stock prices are all over the spectrum." It spoke in a gruff, deep voice. "Most bond sales are down while many weapon manufacturers are reporting all time gains. The various wars bring profit." "But they are bad for stability and life." Jen chimed in before turning to the camera once more, forcing that smile out once more, "Stay tuned for more news and Brogok's meeting with Paulina Cobb, Founder of the Dominion protest group, 'Anti Dominion'. with her newest story regarding the "plight of the tiger kittens at the hands of the Dominion menu tyrants." Coming up at the top of the hour." ------ [quote] Sis, Nikki! you'll never believe what happened. I got a message from him! you aren't the only one now! orders right from the top. Cool huh? Oh and I'm sorry I missed your big premier. I know I know, this is the biggest installment to the Traveler series yet. Seems like just yesterday I was forced to watch you sing barracuda at that dive. But yeah, I saw the reviews and hey yeah! whaaaaat! So I was looking at clips. Kinda felt out of place but I didn't think anyone could make fighting a giant squid in nothing but a bikini work. So I'm gonna be gone for two weeks, I'll send ya a message when i'm back. Hopefully It will be the last time. Love ya, -Lily [/quote] Nikki sat alone in a large lobby of the Dominion Headquarters, Slowly lowering her hand, along with the paper away from her face. She leaned back and sighed, "You are so dumb sometimes. But It's been.. a month now." ." She said quietly before standing up and walking towards the front desk. A young woman sat with her legs crossed, glaring at her from behind the desk. "May I help you?" She said politely. "Uh.. I've been up here four times already, the name before me was called, and then the guy after. So.. Any chance I can be seen?" Nikki replied, growing rather impatient. The young woman turned her head to a large holographic display. "Ah yes, You are next to be seen." She smiled, "Just await your name please. Thank you." Nikki huffed and turned her back to the woman and walked back to her bench. Before she could sit, a male voice called, "Nikki Kepler." The male led her through a long corridor, passing many rooms with closed doors, frosted glass revealed only shadowed figures and muffled words. "Guess that's me now." she said, knowing these people were all in for the same reasons. The governments of the lands were useless when it came to matters of missing persons. And best place to start is with her sisters very employer. When they reached the room, the man motioned for her to sit. "Hello, my name is Todd, customer relations. How may I help you." Nikki sighed, "I need information on my sister. She is one of the execs with your company. Sarah Kepler." "Ok, give me just a few minutes to look that up." Todd replied, turning to a holographic panel. Nikki leaned over, trying to gaze at the screen. Todd glared at her, then motioned his hand up, pivoting the screen out of her view. "Alright, Miss, Kepler. I do not have a record of a Sarah Kepler on file." Todd said. Nikki gave a puzzled look then leaned in, "Don't treat me like an idiot. Do you know who I am!? I am Nichelle Kepler.. Nichelle, Fucking, Kepler. I sing, I dance, I make movies that make more money than your whole damned family. Respect me!" Todd laughed, "That's precious. Look. I don't care how poor, how rich, how humble or entitled someone may be. I am honest. I have no record of this Sarah Kepler. I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do." Nikki leaned back, crossing her arms. "So what now, I have a sister that worked for this company for twenty years and you're just gonna brush her under the rug. Sit there and lie to me like that." "Listen, look. Ok, I'll send a message to my supervisor and we will get back with you shortly." Todd replied. Nikki leaned forward, "Awesome! should I wait in the lobby?" "Expect a reply in a few weeks to a month." Todd replied, standing up and motioning towards the door. "Are you fucking kidding?" Nikki said, before standing up. She took a few steps away from his desk before leaning over and knocking his name placard from his desk. "Oh let me pick that up." She snarled, "In a few weeks to a month." She turned and walked out. Outside, reporters and snoops sat eager for her to emerge. Nikki stood at the main door, staring at the flashing cameras. "Damn. Damn damn damn." As she opened the door, a Xuhajann and a Janari took flanking positions, motioning the paparazzi away. As they took their seats inside a hover car, a female human sat across from her, Nikki's personal assistant Haley. "Ma'am. I was going over some of the circumstances of Lily's disappearance and I think it might be wise to seek alternative measures to find her." Nikki cocked her head. "What. Go to who. One of the other nations? maybe someone will pick up the scent. Help a girl out?" Haley frowned and shook her head, "No, I believe you might have to take this into your own hands. Perhaps the Valkyries could help." Nikki leaned forward, "You do realize that me being ex Dominion Military would likely turn them away.. right?" Haley smiled, "enemy of my enemy is me friend? Even though you left on good terms, I'm sure they'd consider it. It's not like you just got out. its been what, ten years?" "Yeah.. ten years next week. Wow its been a while." Nikki said, before nodding to Haley. "Ok, arrange a meeting with the Valkyries. I'll give that a try." "Ma'am might I suggest not flaunting your status, most will probably know you anyway. It might help them." She paused, and cleared her throat intentionally. "Understand your humbled civility." "Yeah, Right." Nikki said, prompting both to start chuckling.
