[Rassilon is sitting in front of his desk, hands neatly folded - mostly to stop them from twitching and betraying his discomfort. He'd even contemplated using the audio function, but if he has to do this, he'll do it right.]

I am sure most, if not all of you, know of the... incident concerning Una Persson and her time travel device. [He takes a deep breath.] I have been asked to confess my role in these events and shall do so.

I... was the one giving Coordinator Narvin the order to steal the machine. I also authorized him to use any means he deemed necessary to do so.

[He swallows.] I acknowledge and... regret causing Ms Persson pain, however, I will not ask for forgiveness, as I don't expect it to be given.

If it is any consolation... I did all this because I hoped it would enable me to help my people. I know my actions were rushed; I understand that I caused unnecessary harm and I regret doing so.

[Private to Omega | Text]

It is done.

I apologise for my lapse. It won't happen again.

You need not apologize. I know I hurt you. Are they still bothering you about me?

Good. In that case, I will leave you to your work.

[He casts his gaze downwards, in what one could think of as a display of regret, but one would not know Lord Rassilon then. He simply wants to hide his anger. He will not lose his temper and snap at her.]

I appreciate what that statement must have cost you.

[Spoken with all the irony available to someone who's spent at least a couple of human lifetimes fighting tyranny across the Multiverse.]

Very well.

[His tone is as neutral as he can manage. That she doesn't actually mean it is not lost on him, but logically thinking, he shouldn't be angry - he doesn't either, after all. Not that he's ever logical when he needs to be.]

That was quite valiant of you, Rassilon. [SUSPICIOUS! Made of suspicious! And copious amounts of terrible pullover. Woven of suspicious.]

I did what was needed. [Thank goodness he's a good enough liar that his insincerity isn't quite so obvious.]

[He won't argue. He knows that'll make the situation infinitely worse.] Would you do me a favour and ask if Omega still has his sample? [The one from Peylix, but that part he's leaving out.]

Why don't you ask him yourself? If he wishes for you to know, he will tell you. [But he's a bit curious now. What sample? And why does the Doctor care?]

I am not. And do so, but do not bother him, Doctor. [That's his job.]

Why would I bother him? I'm friends with him. I don't bother my friends. [He bothers the shit out of his friends.]

[He knows you, Doctor. And his expression clearly shows what he thinks of your denial. Or perhaps he's frowning because Omega being the Doctor's friend is hardly something he can approve of, even if this particular Doctor doesn't seem to be quite so bad. Shame he had regenerate.] I do hope you will not. He found this affair... upsetting enough, you do not have to add to his discomfort. Perhaps you should wait a while.

From: [personal profile] timesbureaucrat
[Narvin is still a loony with an excessive sense of obligation to his president. And he feels that the whole point of the CIA is so that official Gallifreyan politicians can deny involvement in CIA activities. So he'll throw himself under the bus to protect Rassilon.]

With due respect my Lord President, it was my plan, my temporal calculations, my actions. You had minimal involvement. I take full responsibility for everything that has occurred.

[There's a sigh. He knows that Narvin has enough on his plate without fearing him on top of it.] Regardless of the degree to which the pair of you colluded, Narvin, Rassilon needs to take responsibility for his part. It is essential for his future redemption.

Please, don't mess with it again. Ask me before speaking if you are unsure.

From: [identity profile] shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com
[That's what he had tried to explain, but Omega had insisted he was responsible.]

As your superior I am responsible for your action and I gave you the order to carry your plan out.

[That's not actually how he feels about this - Omega hasn't convinced him in the slightest - but as this conversation isn't - can't be - private, he might as well use this chance to pretend all of this is sincere.]

Date: 30/01/2011 01:38 (UTC)
timesbureaucrat: (three-quarters)
From: [personal profile] timesbureaucrat
[Narvin wants to argue that he could have questioned Rassilon's orders. It's not like he hasn't given other presidents grief with his stubborn and opinionated nature. But Omega told him to shut up, so shut up he will. Mostly.]

If you insist, Lord President.

From: [identity profile] shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com
I do. [See Omega? He's behaving himself. He hasn't even tortured anyone.]

All confessions aside, we can't let you continue without warden supervision. Until somebody's assigned to you officially, I'll be filling in. You can call me Arthur.

I see. [He looks everything but happy about it. Some stupid human supervising his actions is just...] And my name is Lord Rassilon as you surely know by now. [He insists on that title. Being his Warden is no excuse for a lack of respect, after all.]

And I can assure you, I am not planning anything. [Yet.]

Lord Rassilon. [Arthur may sound a little wryly amused by that. He's never called anybody 'Lord' before, but doesn't see any reason to disrespect Rassilon.]

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't tell me if you were. But with one of your followers out of commission for now, I don't think you'll have an easy time of planning anything. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

And while we're talking, is there anything you need?

[Wry amusement is noted and not appreciated. Not awed enough.]

If I wanted to, I could. But I don't want to, so you needn't worry. [He's upset Omega enough for now. He really hadn't liked how hurt his friend had been when they had talked about this incident.]

[He leans back in his chair.] Nothing you could provide me with.

[Arthur holds back a snarky comment of WELL YOU CLEARLY AREN'T CAPABLE EITHER, since he doesn't want to drive this guy further against the whole system here. But man, it's difficult.]

You'd probably be right. But if there's anything you need that's a little less... ambitious, I'm here to be your advocate, not to punish you.

[HE'D HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR IT. Or vaporize you. He likes vaporizing, it's such a clean method to kill.]

I understand. [And because he already doesn't like you, he'll give you requests just to be annoying.] I miss Gallifreyan food. And beverages. I can barely stomach the... things served on this ship. [Lies. He can eat unholy large quantities of it.]

[And no one can punish him. Not even Omega. Omega just guilt-trips him into making confessions.]

Okay, what kind of food is that? Because I'm pretty sure a request of "hey, cook something from Gallifrey" won't go over all that well with the kitchen.

Grilled tafelshrew with schlenk sauce, for example. I'd very much like that. [Lots of it. But that goes without saying, in his mind.]

[Guess who's looking extra smug now.] Very good. [And no, it's not. It's his favorite food and he might just get cranky if Arthur can't deliver.]
