In the midst of a short but vicious [[battle]] in the [[dock]] area of [[Washington DC|Washington]], [[Tragan (Tragan Dead)|Tragan]] makes the realisation that he and his men will be defeated by [[International Rescue]]. As part of a final desperate attempt to disrupt the [[peace treaty]] between [[Earth]] and [[Jupiter]], Tragan resolves to [[murder]] his [[father]] [[Kranol]], the [[Jupitan]] [[ambassador]] of [[peace]]. However, Kranol foils this plan, taking a [[weapon]] from near his [[bed]] and using it to kill his [[son]] in an act which gives "new [[life]]" to the peace negotiations. | In the midst of a short but vicious [[battle]] in the [[dock]] area of [[Washington DC|Washington]], [[Tragan (Tragan Dead)|Tragan]] makes the realisation that he and his men will be defeated by [[International Rescue]].

Although [[Brent Cleever]] was initially successful in convincing [[T.J. Younger|President Younger]] not to [[bomb]] the camp in spite of the [[danger]] posed by the [[missile]]s kept at the [[base]], the [[World President]] reverses his decision on this matter and orders [[World Air Force]] [[bomber]]s to the area. This provokes [[fear]] in some circles that this development can only serve to escalate the situation, potentially ruining any progress made by Cleever, who was allowed by Younger to move in first and attempt negotiations but is yet to bring in [[news]] of his efforts. | ||
Elsewhere, the World President is attacked while attending the [[World Aquasports championship]]s which are being held off the [[coast]] of [[Florida]]. He escapes unharmed from the attack by making a swift departure from his [[ship]] using the latest [[ejector seat]] [[technology]]. [[Samuel Shore|Commander Shore]] of the [[World Aquanaut Security Patrol]] is not so fortunate, with reports emerging that he has been shot while [[holiday]]ing on his [[Los Angeles]]-adjacent private [[island]], though the [[information]] is still unclear, with the [[identity]] of the perpetrator, the seriousness of Shore's injuries and whether he has survived at all still unconfirmed. Theories entertaining a connection of some sort between the two attacks quickly spread and some suggest an organisation formed to disrupt the highest levels of the [[World Government]] could be responsible. | Elsewhere, the World President is attacked while attending the [[World Aquasports championship]]s which are being held off the [[coast]] of [[Florida]].
