Viktor’s Interview

Reporter: This is news diplomatic correspondent Fifi Newbern, coming to you live from Space Station 44. Soon we will see Viktor Jacobs, the diplomat dispatched to negotiate a peace treaty with the people of Lyrissia, as he disembarks from the Space Corps vessel, Callisto. As you all know, his mission was a success and-- Oh wait, it appears that Mr. Jacobs has arrived and-- There he is!

Reporter: Diplomat Jacobs! Fifi Newbern, Diplomacy News. A moment of your time sir, please?

Viktor: Just a few minutes.

Reporter: Firstly, congratulations on bringing peace to this sector of the universe.

Viktor: I would like to interrupt you there, I did not achieve this singlehandedly. Many people were involved, including the Lyrissian government, their king and the Lyrissian people.

Reporter: Of course, of course. Speaking of the Lyrissian King, what can you tell us about him?

Viktor: No comment.

Reporter: Okay…what about the Lyrissian diplomat, the one who died?

Viktor: Peacetalker Tarn was a noble and well-respected Lyrissian. This peace would not have been possible if it were not for him, his vision for his people and the effort he put into the negotiations. He will be missed.

Reporter: Our thoughts and sympathies go out to his family. I have heard that you yourself almost died, numerous times. What was that like?

Viktor: Those were some of the scariest moments of my life, not to mention life changing. I owe my life to several people, including Peacetalker Tarn.

Reporter: It sounds like negotiating peace treaties has never been so hazardous to ones health.

Viktor: *laughs* It has never been this rewarding either.

Reporter: Will you be jumping straight into another assignment?

Viktor: No, I'll be taking some time off. I have a honeymoon that I'm looking forward to.

Reporter: That's right, we had heard that you married while on board Callisto, to Peacetalker Tarn's daughter.

Viktor: No comment.

Reporter: Was this a strategic move on your part to solidify the treaty?

Viktor: No. Your time is up. This interview is over.

Reporter: Diplomat Jacobs, is it true that you were forced to marry the Lyrissian Diplomat's daughter under threat of death?

Viktor: I said this interview is over.

Reporter: But the people--

Viktor: *shoves microphone aside* The people can mind their own damned business. Now get out of my way before my wife decides you are a threat to me and removes you.

Reporter: *gulps* Yes, of course--That was diplomat Viktor Jacobs, recently returned from the Lyrissian homeworld and on his way to his honeymoon. This is Fifi Newbern, signing off.
