Noted. Looks like Ssarak will be forcing his way past him.

I think I should probably give Lucius a chance to respond before I do. I'd like to go ahead and start the meeting with Lucilia soon.
Given that Avatar's platform felt no pain, had no pride, and had been entirely undamaged, it gave nothing in the way of a reaction to Voira. The only action it took was to modify its profile of her to include an anger management disorder and violent tendencies. As well, it made note of her seeming fixation on protecting Creator Raa'Kina.
As for their plan of action, Avatar quickly applied the new information given by the Human soldier, who a quick facial scan identified as Donny Yang, to its own projections of possible escapes. It seemed that the most of the surviving human forces, of which most of the allied security force consisted, had left without safeguarding the escape of other allied diplomats. Aside from the possible political ramifications of this action, it also meant that allied forces had been split into smaller groups which would be more difficult to evacuate unless they were able to reunite. Currently, there seemed to be four combat capable individuals in their group in addition to the Turian cabal, Donny Yang, Voira Sirosi, a Krogan it identified as Khel Zhar, and itself. There were only four diplomats which had survived an escaped with them: two Turians, one male and one female, an Asari, and Creator Raa'Kina.
"An alternative option would be to search for enemy shuttles in order to escape the station. There is approximately a 76% chance that hostile forces anticipate our return to the airlocks through which we arrived, so they will reinforce that area. Based on the schematics of this class of vessel, there are only two other possible locations for airlocks, which are located within close proximity of one another. I estimate this option to be 52% less hazardous; however, it would be more difficult to reunite with the Human forces who moved on ahead of us, and we would be unable to rescue the crew of the trapped shuttle. Although more dangerous, following Donny Yang's recommendation may allow us to save more lives." Avatar recommended.
At this point, the Turian male diplomat, a man named Tarak Sorinth, stepped forward, his expression showing a mix of anger and surprise. "Wait, the Humans left us? But they made up most of our security. You're telling me they just abandoned us? That Human diplomat, I know I saw her running. They just went off to protect her, didn't they? We...should just take the safe option and get out of here. Why should we save them after they left us like that?"

Ssarak gave something of an amused grunt. "The reason we are telling you about this is because you asked." He commented, giving another glance in the direction of Lucilia's office. "We wish to speak with Lucilia about this because she is in a position to prevent Alaira from being sent on more missions and endangering more lives. I can understand your skepticism, but you were not present for the mission, so you were not witness to her actions. On two separate occasions, her recklessness endangered all of our lives, and the mission itself. When faced with two individuals on a bridge ahead of us that were potentially bandits, she promptly, and without consulting anyone else, ignited a field of grass off to our right. It sparked a forest fire, choked the air with smoke, panicked our horses, and forced us to be trapped on the bridge, which the bandits quickly cut. It was an action that did not harm the bandits in the slightest, but brought us to the brink of death. That is not someone to whom you want to trust your life. Perhaps she can be helped; be taught better judgment, but until then, be wary of her if you are required to work with her." He warned.
There was not much purpose in continuing to voice their grievances with Grey. If he still disagreed, then there likely would be no swaying him. They had already likely said enough to convince him that their issue was with Alaira, instead of Lucilia herself, so they could go ahead and give their report to her. "We should probably go speak to her now." Ssarak suggested, glancing to Meirin.

Meesei waited patiently as the letters were being read, watching the crowd to judge their reactions. For this aspect of her case, Meesei had rather conclusive evidence. Three letters penned by Jerrick's hand, which were confirmed to be true by some of the most trusted individuals in the clan, demonstrated rather directly that Meesei was not to blame for his death. Indeed, they also showed that both Jerrick and Hircine had trusted her with the responsibility of determining the identity of the traitor. Overall, they strongly reinforced her credibility, so if Harriet attempted personal attacks against Meesei herself, they could even reduce Harriet's own credibility.
Once Meesei had again been given the floor to speak, she moved on quickly to her next point. Now that she had established her own credibility, she planned to lay out directly of what she was accusing Harriet, then focus on proving it. "First, I would like to lay out exactly of what crime Harriet is being accused. My assertion is that Jerrick was slain through poison, administered through his waterskin. The poison was applied to his water during a meeting on the day of the murder, shortly after my pack's arrival. Harriet was the only one of the lieutenants with an opportunity to apply this poison, as she was left alone with his waterskin after he had forgotten it in the meeting room, and there is no evidence for any other opportunity later in the day for Jerrick's waterskin to have been poisoned without his knowledge. As for proving these accusations accusations, I will begin with the evidence that narrows the timeframe in which Jerrick could have been poisoned. One of my pack members, though young, has trained in alchemy for most of her life, and the clan's own head alchemist, Carana has taken part in most tests performed on the waterskin. They were able to confirm that there was indeed a poison present in the waterskin, and in two separate tests, showed how long it would have taken for the poison to kill. Since we know exactly when Jerrick died, we can use that information to tell when he must have ingested it. I would like for Carana and Sabine, as well as all of the witnesses to the second test on the poison, to step forward."
Meesei waited a moment as all of the people she had requested moved to the center of the room. Just as with all of the witnesses, she had informed them all beforehand that they would be speaking at the trial. "Carana, Sabine, please describe what you have learned about the poison, how your tests work, and what they have concluded."

Most ships in ME are capable of re-entry, I believe.
As I mentioned before, both sides agreed to a certain, limited amount of security (obviously, the enemy managed to sneak more onboard). Since they could only bring so much, the number that Eleanore brought would mean that, by default, the humans were providing most of the security.
Hmm, that's probably not going to sit well with most of the surviving diplomats. You had the Humans provide most of the security, so having them abandon the other diplomats in favor of saving their own ambassador will not sit well politically. Should be interesting.
Did you have the human soldiers abandon the diplomats, Lucius? They all ran into the same hall, so the humans would have had to keep going to get away from everyone.

Ssarak gave no visual or verbal response to Satori's request, but his thoughts would show that he understood. As long as Lucilia experienced some sort of discipline for her actions, something that would prevent her from doing something like it again, he could be satisfied. Though, he could understand why Satori might not want word of her transgressions to spread. The students of the college needed to trust its staff as much as possible, especially since there had been many events, even just since his arrival, which had tainted that trust.
Ssarak sent a telepathic message to Meirin, though he made sure his body language did not give away that he was speaking to her. "I suppose this will do. As long as Lucilia's crime is dealt with, I care not if I am involved in the process. Though, I will certainly be willing to speak against her, if they require our help. For now...perhaps we should just deliver our report to Lucilia and warn her about Alaira. After we placate the curiosity of...Grey, is it?"
Normally, Ssarak did not like to read Meirin's mind without permission, out of respect, but as he needed to listen for a response, he did pick up that Meirin knew Grey, and that he was an employee of Lucilia. But, as long as they gave him no reason to suspect anything was wrong with Lucilia, there would not be a problem. "Our mission...well, it was not a failure, not in the objectives we set out to accomplish. Our caravan arrived safely. But, Alaira took actions that may cause problems for the college in the future. We, especially Meirin, might have been able to mitigate the damage Alaira caused, but we cannot be sure. We want Lucilia to understand that it would be a danger to send Alaira on further missions." Ssarak added.
