STATE COLLEGE, PENN STATE (Collegian) Since a diplomatic incident at the JET Team A Feral Detroit deployment involving Sedona representatives, a wanted fugitive, Feral Detroit security forces and the death of a Sedona citizen; Feral Detroit has been actively pursuing both military and diplomatic approaches to the incident. These efforts include a number of closed door sessions with the ITF along with public demands for an apology. To date, Sedona responses have been quite muted.
Sedona maintains only a minimal diplomatic presence either through a small, hired staff at Penn State or when the Hive represents their interests. Messages to them are sent by gate courier. In addition, neither Sedona nor Feral Detroit are members of the ITF, even though Feral Detroit is so petitioning. The initial reaction of the international community has been quite mixed and actually negative to both nations. It would seem that there is a general feeling that international politics should not be prey to emotional issues and, in the end, this falls down to two nations almost at war over a single case of domestic violence.
The ultimate results point towards a possible public condemnation of Sedona in the future. In reaction to these events, Cold War Russia has announced a peace keeping force of over 1000 personnel to assist Sedona in the face of “JET interference.” Penn State has announced that it intends to cut the AePhi sorority ties to Sedona but will maintain relations.
Sources say that, as a partial rebuke for Feral Detroit, LTC Darfield of Camp Century is being removed as Diplomatic Lead for the Confederate Texas deployment and being replaced by Dr. Sim. These same sources also comment that the ITF is rewarding Sim’s less confrontational nature compared to other Daedalus representatives while providing what they see as a minor sop to Technosphere pride.
