OTRK CEO Eva Pourais testifies in New Dawn deportation case
November 20th, 29487
The ICC investigation into New Dawn deportation process slowly draws to its conclusion as the panel have re-examined the evidence the decision was based on, received testimony from Ruth Montezuma, Force Commander Sonya Brasidas of the Peacekeepers and Gerulf Riechstain. So far it has been shown that the decision to banish New Dawn was based on false evidence, was made in questionable circumstances and there were serious irregularities with the process of deportation itself. Today, OTRK CEO Eva Pourais testified putting the blame on Bahirae Serugiusu and the incompetence of ICC Rubi-Ka for the New Dawn's ordeal.
ICC: What is OTRK's position about the New Dawn deportation?
There is no “position” there is only the truth. The clan was framed by the then OTRK CEO Bahirae Serugiusu and deported from Rubi-Ka with the help of ICC.
ICC: Why would she do that?
It was a means to an end. By blaming New Dawn Ms Serugiusu managed to hide her involvement in the assassination of Xeavier Humbold and draw everyone's attention away from herself. It allowed her to accumulate power completely unchallenged.
ICC: Was it not a ploy by Omni-Prime to get rid of one of the most powerful clans and avoid responsibility for it?
I'll answer, but please answer a small question first: Do you know who the woman sitting in the front bench today is?
ICC: That is Ruth Montezuma, the leader of clan New Dawn.
Yes, that is Ms Montezuma. Today we are here, united as we stood united against a common enemy, Bahirae Serugiusu, in the times of strife. We are here because we both have been wronged.
There were deaths on all sides. And we went through it together. Despite our political differences and past conflicts. Those New Dawn members who managed to remain on the planet stood by my side, as I stood by theirs. There is no chance we would be ever able to do this if they had even a shadow of a doubt that me, or Omni-Prime orchestrated the deportation.
There's also one more fact: they brought the evidence against Ms Serugiusu to me, not to the ICC. They trusted someone whom they would normally consider an adversary rather than someone whose job, whose very reason for existing, is to protect people like them.
And now, I think, both Ruth Montezuma and I have the same question that we demand to know the answer for: why did ICC help Ms Serugiusu destroy the New Dawn clan?
Of course my question is not entirely selfless. Right after having the clan deported Ms Serugiusu proceeded to try and destroy Omni-Tek.
Silence fell after Ms Pourais' words and after a short recess the panel decided to adjourn the meeting. The conclusion of the ICC investigation will be announced within the next few days.
